1 year on
Today marks 1 year from the day I was told those dreaded words ‘you have breast cancer’. Since then, I have had 4 1/2 months of chemotherapy, a stint in icu with complications, a double mastectomy and reconstruction and a left auxiliary clearance and 5 weeks of radiotherapy. I was unable to work for 8 months and am now only able to tolerate only half my normal hours as I remain exhausted but I’m getting there and feel so lucky to be able to say that I am CANCER FREE! Best wishes to you all and a great big THANK YOU for all your support getting me to here! ❤️
