Hi, thanks for your thoughtful post. Gee it sounds like you went through the wringer. I am dreading the radiation having heard all sorts of horror stories. But you're right, the outcome is worth it all. 

Interesting re your comments in relation to your period. I still am having mine after one cycle so we will see. After the hell that was my first chemo I guess I should feel grateful that I don't have anyone else to look after. My partner has been incredible throughout, I am very lucky to have found the right person for me. 

My first chemo has definitely had an impact. I felt something "happening" in my breast and lymph nodes afterwards but sort of put it down to the placebo effect. However a week later and my breast has decreased in size, the redness has gone and I can't feel the big lump in my breast or the lumps in my nodes. Frankly, it's startling. So I am thankful that it does seem to be working for me. 

And here's a virtual (hug) for you :)
