10 YEAR CANCERVERSARY !!!
Hi Girls
I don't come back as often any more but make a point of checking in on my yearly diagnosis date ! This is a milestone.
So arrived here scared out of my mind, angry, bitter you name it . I was so diligent with my breast health family history so kept on top...yup Stage 3 C read my stats you could have scraped me off the floor when the surgeon told me I was looking at a late 2 or early 3 ...well it was late 3 ..I went into shock. Popping atavan like they were smarties.
I met so many women here women diagnosed around the same time or with similiar diagnoses. I had to find someone who had survived this. You see before this happened to me every women I knew node pos. had died . When the path report came back- oh brother. I must have read that thing everyday for a year. Finally I have no idea where it is now . It was nasty 11 nodes extra nodul extention 7.5 cm tumour...ugly . I guess if you read something everyday for a year it stays in your brain.There was more but like I said missing.
To the oldtimers here you were my rock, my hope in the darkness .
To the girls I lost along the way... Diana ,Debbie,Kerry,Michelle,Jennifer G-V, Jennifer C-G, Linda my local friend who actually worked in radiolgy at my cancer centre. I woke up this morning and Diana came to mind she had similiar stats to mine a mentor for sure but sadly reoccurred year 10 .
Girls who have just joined this club I am here to offer hope and support . Its not an easy journey but the fight is worth it. I know if this beast ever returns I will be ready to go fists up !
If you need a shoulder please message me !
Love and Light
Cheryl
