@tigerbeth @Brenda5 @kezmusc @"Kiwi Angel" @Romla @kmakm hey lovelies I feel we have all had plenty of advice to give to each other along the way of this shitty uphill climb that is breast cancer. As we are all so different it’s given me and plenty of others the strength to keep on climbing as there is always someone to pull you up out of the shit and show you the summit. I definately felt that way at the start. Felt quite vulnerable to be honest and as shitty as the chemo was I felt somewhat “protected” and because I had triple neg bc and I don’t take any of the preventative meds post so it was a bit scary to begin with. 2 years cancer free (nearly) and I’m getting on with life pretty good now. Although I get the reminders every three months with oncol and surgeons appointments and the usual yearly heart echo that “it’s not quite all over just yet” and I still get a little anxious prior to these but overall it’s good. I’m a survivor and this is my new normal but I’m at peace with it now. Grateful to be here grateful I have my family around me and grateful I’ve met you guys (even if only virtually for some of you) as it’s given me the opportunity to rant when I’m pissed off and guide and advise me when I’ve needed it too. Big hug to you all. Margie xx
