Here we go

Let me introduce myself, my name is Bel, and I am through to the other side of all my treatment, 10 months later, and feeling nearly back to how I was before.  It is going to take a lot of determination, positive thinking, and mood swings to get through, but you will.  We all know exactly how youre feeling, and each emotion that goes with that.  We all have slightly different situations, but the emotions are all the same, fear is your greatest challenge, and learning how to control that.  My how fast that time went by!  I took the year off, Id never had anything wrong before, and I thought it would be wise, for me, to get the hell out of work and focus on my health.  I found that the drugs cause a lot of mood swings, Im a bit older (ah quite a bit, 47, so it put me straight into instant menopause, so that gave me hot flushes and mood swings!).  "Chemo Brain"  made me forgetful and vague, and I had a bit of "post traumatic response"  well thats what we assumed, at the end of chemo.  My hair is now growing back, I can think clearly, and am focusing on going back to work and what I was up to before.  Feel free to walk down my memory lane in my blogs, I complained, cried, panicked and stressed out, but in the end......I was fine!  Bel
