This Christmas I will be refecting on the past 3 months and being grateful for still walking this earth..I had mx 5 years ago with extensive DCIS in my left breast..an immediate recon with an implant that ruptured by pec muscle and gave me an infection that took 3 months to recover...then .I actually remember 5 yrs ago in hospital wondering if I would see Xmas day..5 anxious but good years passed till 2018 ..August 13..a new cancer now in the other breast..thankfully not a recurrence ...a brand new one this time small but invasive...so a lumpectomy...radiation and AIs for next 5 yrs...I am not the usual case and thankfully second cancers are not that common..I live each day with fear of recurrence...everyone says don’t..well it’s hard not to after 2 times! But I will live my life to the max...not going to be a servant to it...so live, love and laughter all and let’s have a great Xmas ...we deserve it! Lizzie
