Hello @wendy55 😊 thank you for replying. I’ve been on Abraxane, FEC and now Carbogem. My oncologist gave me a break from chemo in Oct last year and I thought I would be able to have radiation and then surgery to remove my breast tumour but the tumours began to grow within 3 weeks so back on chemo again. I have wonderful support from family and friends and have been in contact with Mummy’s Wish. I am also seeing a Psych and exercise physiologist through my income protection policy.
When I was first diagnosed the breast surgeon told me I couldn’t be cured and that I would die. I understand the not being able to be cured part but I am determined to see my children (Abby 4 and Jack nearly 2) into adulthood so once I got over the shock I got angry with her and determined to prove her wrong.
5 1/2 years - that’s a long journey but you must be a fighter too - would you mind if I ask what treatment, if any, you are currently on? How are you going after all this time xx
