I have and are blessed to have great family and friends.
I took the year off work, using Income Protection Insurance. Diagnosed February, finished Radiotherapy in October 2020.
My year of Mastectomy, Chemo and Radiotherapy, was easier than I expected. Nothing like in the movies.
I had a some side effects, all bearable. I feel like I got off lightly, compared many.
My hair thinned, using Cold Cap, but happy with the result.
I'm happy to be having my hair coloured and shaped again.
There are some short hairs(my chemo hairs) that don't blend well, but will eventually.
I feel like my life was paused, and is now normal. I try not to dwell on my year of treatment, 2020
So far I am tolerating Letrazole, and will be on it for the next 5-10years.
I am optimistic and realistic.
