When I first was diagnosed in July and was anticipating my upcoming surgery, I asked the Dr. If I could go back to work right away. He gave me this sad look. I wondered then what was in store for me these last months. Well I never made it back to work after that surgery, then another surgery, then 12 weeks of chemo and now 7 weeks of rads. With all the Mris and blood works in between. I look back on my calendar and every day was full!
Well today I have a back to work note from my radiologist. I can't believe that 6 months has gone so fast. I am starting to get my strenghth back and sleeping through the night. That is an accomplishment in itself! I still have a month of rads left , and a year of herception but I made it through. There were some days during chemo I just wanted to give up and quit it. My husband and kids cheered me on. My best supporters.
You learn to celebrate everything, to enjoy each day with your family.
I don't know what the future has in store for me with this BC, but I will always fight it with all I have. I will march with the survivors in memory of the women who have lost their battle.
