Living life again:)
Hello to everyone:)
Hope you are all going well with your journeys...
I haven't been on in a while so I thought I would just jump on here quickly & let you all know how I am travelling;).....
I have had my mamo & ultrasound & I am all good YAY:):) hubby & I celebrated with lunch at this little organic cafe & then treated ourselves to a head,neck,shoulders & back massage, it was just wonderful to relax & let the last 12 months go...
I have been doing yoga 2 twice a week & loving it :) I know how to meditate now;) back at curves 3 times a week for a couple of months now & have recently started my free physio sessions..... I have recovered well from my hysterectomy...
I am also getting ready to start back at work on the 7th October...WOW it's all happening for me;) just easing back slowly!! I'm excited but scared at the same time I guess that's normal feeling this way....
My care manager has been very supportive through my whole journey how lucky am I....
Have been keeping ourselves busy with life, we had a great holiday in shark bay last school holidays & we have just planned another little break away to Port Douglas for our wedding anniversary for a week, I spent our last one in hospital.....
This time last year I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel, I was all confused & full of worry, because I wasn't sure if I had made right decisions & I hadn't joined this network because I was to scared!!! However I joined after my cousin lost her fight!!!! It's the best thing I did. I have learned so much in the last 12 months:) & I can say that I am happy with all my decisions & have no regrets.... Just happy to be free again living life:)
Tamoxifen doesn't agree with me still & I am trying natural things to overcome side affects & try to believe it will all settle down, I did try Gabapentin & for the life of me I just couldn't focus or even drive a car so I ditched that one.....
So what I would like to say, is thank you to everyone that supported me when I came on here, I can truly say I am well educated on breast cancer now lol
And for all you Newbies & all still doing their treatment Good luck for the very best outcome..
This is a little quote that I found & lived by during my journey & still do.. So I'm sharing this one with you all...
The path through trouble is taken
A step at a time...
A breath at a time...
A day at a time...
Stay focused, there is light at the end of the tunnel & trust that you are doing the best you can for now
My inspiration song through my journey was & still is
"Follow the sun" by Xavier Rudd....this song kept me well grounded ;) I even dance to it & put smiles on my 15 year old daughters face & hubby's as well, he calls me a little hippy lol...
until next ladies take care
Big (((hugs))) to you all
Christine :) xox
