What a year it has been so far!
I discovered a mass in my left breast on 26th January 2009.
It was such a shock. I wasn't in the 'at risk' group of women!
I'd breast fed all 6 of my children, no history of breast cancer in my family tree.
Didn't take HRT, not on the Pill!
Where did it come from then?
It's been a whirlwind of appointments, surgery, chemo these last 8mths.
How have I coped with it all?
I've cried more than any other time in my life.
I've laughed again.
Life goes on whether you like it or not.
I see lots of things through a different perspective now.
I am glad to still be alive.
Yet I've wanted to die so many times this year.
I want to share my thoughts and feelings .
Maybe I can help someone else get through their cancer journey.
Hi Jennifer, I hope your recovery is progressing okay? Lovely to listen to beautiful things about a beautiful woman who loves her wonderful saviour, Jesus Christ. I too love Jesus and have been His since 22nd March, 1983, a profound moment in time. My sister, Josephine was born on the same day and year as you were born. She lives in Cyprus now. I am the only 'born again' freak in our family to date. God bless you, and keep you. May His face shine upon you for evermore.
