I was diagnosed 17 months ago now. I've had the mastectomy, the six months of chemo, the radiation and I'm coming up for my last infusion of Herceptin soon.
Today was a tough day because I went to...
Katie, I am in hospital after a mastectomy, following two failed operations in February to remove cancer in my right breast. I heard of the death of my own dear friend from bc between the first two operations, and attended her funeral four days after the second operation. I chose to remember her happy smile and courage as she fought her battle, and know that she would want me to remember her with joy and a smile for the good times. In her memory, I am going to try to do things to support women suffering from breast cancer, such as fund-raising and making those wonderful little cushions and drainage bag holders that the breast care nurses give out. I also take heart from the support of the wonderful women on this site. Remember that you are not alone in your struggle and unhappiness.
