It's like hurricane

Hello There,

My name is Emma and your post struck a chord with me.  I too was 34 when I was diagnosed with breast cancer (11 months ago).  It was the biggest shock for me and my family and I have never cried so much in my life!  My diagnosis consumed my every waking thought for the first few days.  I was extremely lucky to have so much support around me and I really hope you also have this help.

In a nutshell, I had an immediate mastectomy, followed by more surgery when my lymph pathology results came back positive, this was then followed by Chemotherapy (6 sessions over 18 weeks) and then 5 weeks of radiation.  I am now considering reconstructive surgery and hope to have this done next Feb.

I kept a blog of my journey and would love you to read it (if you feel up to it).  www.emmataylorsjourney.blogspot.com.au

I also put together a video of my journey that I would like to share with you.
