The Breast Cancer Site

Well, that's that!

Anticipated fear of a return of the cancer is very real. Yes, I do my self exam every single day. I am feeling bumps and lumps everywhere...ahhh....this is frustrating. The thing is this, it is normal to have this fear. I have read from some people that it took them years. Let's just hope that every single cancer cell was killed by chemotherapy, yeah!

Oh, and about the port...I was advised, again, to leave it in for at least 2, ideally 5 years. So that's that...a constant reminder that only in 5 years things are "safe"....what a skewed perspective of life I am living in. At age 28, for most people death is so far away. For me it is something I am faced with all the time. This year I have fought so incredibly hard FOR my life, I have learned not to take anything in it for granted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On another note I am extremely irritated with being sick. I mean I have been dealing with this cold for 6 weeks! It gets better only to get worse, and really bad, a little better...and worse.

That's my ramble for the day...off to a great weekend!
