Our focus does change once we've been on this rollercoaster for awhile!
We have retired recently and now find that is the best thing we have done in a long time! We are not retirement age however we felt it was time given the hurdles of BC!
It is time for us and our well being - it takes some time to adjust! Hubby now finds himself with a medical file he never had, tests to be done as precautionary because of family history - the last of those tests today!
After that it is about us and keeping my BC at bay the best we can and keeping stress out of our everyday! I am convinced that my very stressful work life contributed to my BC and it would take some talking to convince me otherwise!
The collection of specialists along the way are looking after me medically, Breast surgeon, Medical Oncologist, Gynaecology Oncologist, Remedial Therapist, Physiotherapist, Breast care nurse, Neurosurgeon, Ophthalmologist and my blessed GP and we are looking after me emotionally!
Another blood test tomorrow to make sure everything is on track!
Time to reflect on where you have been and assess where you are going and how to achieve - sometimes you have to shut one door before another opens
Take care and sending hugs to all
