What a Year!


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.
