Thanks everyone for your inspiring replies
I saw an ad recently for TREK THE GREAT WALL FOR BCNA.
In 2005 almost a year to the day since being diagnosed with MS ( multiple sclerosis) I left my 3 chn for the first time and travelled with their dad to China for the most amazing tiring trip to prove to myself and to the MS itself that it wasn't going to slow me down. We went as part of an MS Society challenge.
I found myself on that trip but not nearly as much as I have found myself through my BC trip.
I now make sure I tell my closest friends and family I love them every time I see them. I don't sweat the small stuff and I'm proud of both myself and my children at how well the four of us have got through such a challenging time. I'm proud of myself. I'm really proud of my scar.
I'm working towards loosing a dress size or 5 kgs ( tough on arimidex) and when I reach that I will get a small pink ribbon tattoo with 3 tiny butterflies to represent my 3 amazing children and with the word LIVE on it to remind myself of how far I've come, what I've achieved and what else I can aim to cram into my life.
Mich I love you so much and I'm so blessed to have you in my life. You keep me sane lol
Sending lots of hugs to all
