In answer to your question...yes we can all read your story in your blog and I believe there is no need to re-write it elsewhere.
It’s lovely to see you have let me into your life and your breast cancer journey and yes…resting after chemo I believe is a must…what better way to spend your time than to watch the V8’s…sounds like I’m a bit partial to motorsports…lol
You will move past this time in your life and I know losing a colleague must be difficult for you especially now, but take heart lots of women today have a much better survival rate and the treatments nowadays are even better than when I was diagnosed in 2003.
You are one of the lucky ones as far as your chemo treatments go…gosh I was sick as a dog for at least a week and sometimes even longer. Everyone’s body acts differently to chemo as there are so many different strengths and amounts of chemo that are given.
I feel for you not having your mum by your side but again you are lucky to have such great support given by your Christian friends and to have a loving husband who understands is a massive positive in your life as well as your children…you are blessed!
Don’t be sorry about the questions…that’s what a true friend is for and I hope our friendship will grow with time.
I have no ongoing issues however it did take me the best of 2 years after chemo and radium treatments to feel like my normal self again. I have at the moment a body malfunction in the way of bulging discs in my back and Sciatica in the left leg but I believe this had nothing to do with my breast cancer treatments…think it is from too much hard physical work when I was younger.
The weekend has been great and our breast cancer tribute at our home track was very successful…everyone was so supportive and I believe we managed to bring about breast cancer awareness by hosting this Mini-Field of Women event.
Di do the things you love in life when you feel well and take peace in the fact that all women are strong in mind and spirit…you can conquer this…your mind is your strength.
