Hello Ladies.
I am now 42 very close to 43 and was diagnosed at 39. I did not do my full 6 rounds if chemo but did do 8 weeks of radiation and have been on tamoxifen for nearly 3 years. I have also at my own request had a full hysterectomy as I decided that it was the best couse of action for myself. I have never felt better. The only thing i dislike is not being able to have my breast reconstructed. I have not had any long term side effects other than going through menopause. But I chose that with the full knowledge I could not take hormone replacements. Everyone is different my children are in there 20's so I had better choices be able to make than most. I also did not tell anyone. I had a wig made
(extremely) expensive but very few people know what I was going through. I love support and give everything to support woman going through this because it's a lonely journey even with the greatest friends. With tamoxife weigh up your options. My mother refused to take it. She got cancer a year after me and she us doing okay. I love my life but am feet scared to tell anyone especially prospective employers.
