Well better late than never to start one i suppose. Happily married and we have a beautiful little 3yr old girl Chloe who was born after all my treatment so we are extremely fortunate and very lucky.
I have travelled the emotional rollercoster that a breast cancer dx brings since 2002 when i was just 28yrs of age. So much has happened in the last 8yrs, actually on the 10th july 2010 i will celebrate my 8yr milestone NED wow!!!
I have struggled with menopause ever since my oorphorectomy back in Nov 2008, but i desperately wanted to get off that horrid little white pill Taxmoxifen that didnt agree with me, turned me into another person someone that i didnt like or know. Plus i no longer need to have mthly zoladex injections bonus, and the pros outweighed the cons.
Emotions are mixed approaching my 8yr mark, mum was dx with bc at 37 secondaries at 45 and passed away age 47 so for me, it is of no relief, i am holding out and longing to reach the magical 10yrs then i may feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
I have met some truely inspirational and beautiful friends.
till next time ....
