Need some support...
Hi all,
This is my first message here. I have been resisting, but here I am.
So I'm 37 years old. I was first diagnosed with brca in 2009 when I was 29. Did chemo, double mastectomy and hormone therapy. All good, then in 2013 had a small recurrence in the breast. Some radiotherapy and hormone therapy again. All good again, especially when I got pregnant (naturally!) and had the most gorgeous baby girl on the first day of spring last year (2016). Everything was great.
Then in December, when my baby girl was 3 months, they tell me it's come back and is in my bones and lung. I've been on taxol for 4 months - it has worked pretty well so am going to do another 3-4 months.
Here's the kicker - I am a breast cancer researcher!!! So I know exactly what is going on, and what my prognosis is.
I don't know... I guess I'm just hoping for some positive thoughts right now.... anyone?
