Young with breast cancer...

Hello everyone,

back in december at just 25 i was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. I first turned to this site to try and find people of my own age, and struggled somewhat. As i approached my first treatment session in January, i realised i didnt really know what to expect. at all.

As of the 10th june i will have finally finished Chemo and will go on to have a lumpectomy, i have started a new light hearted blog about my journey and experience of breast cancer and would like to hope it may help others too. I am really doing it to spread awarness of breast cancer, and to support those perhaps young like myself dealing with cancer, and give reassurance that you are not alone. I also give my take and experience of chemo, the drugs, and the treatment - and will add to the blog weekly.

I am not doing this for the followers, as this blog doesnt work in that way, but as i read more and more about young women and men gettting diagnosed with breast cancer, this blog has given me back some of my confidence, as well as perhaps helping others too. Below is the link.

if it helps at least one person, then i consider that a success. Good luck on all of your journeys to whomever reads this.

 

Best wishes,

Hannah, aka Countrygirl25

  • Hannah I've just started reading your amazing blog ... your as beautiful inside as you are outside ... you  are truly wonderful and your sense of humour shines through ... I also found so many funny things that happened along my journey too .. well there's a poem that I kept .. that to me is you .. so I hope you don't mind me sharing it on here ..

    From an old lass with breast cancer... to a young one ...

    It's called    A LETTER TO MY CANCER ...

    It may seem like you have control of my life right now .... but you don't.....  your presence only makes me stronger , braver , kinder ,wiser ...

    I choose how I think , what l speak and how l love ... you will never be able to touch those things ... NEVER ... 

    The fear of your name no longer haunts my soul .... because my soul belongs to me, and those I love ...

    You may take a claim on my outer shell ... but never on my Devine spirit that crys out "I am not my body" my soul will run .. leap ... and tower over your attempts to pull me down in despair ...

    Those who surround me will fight with me .. to shout "we will not surrender "   our hearts and souls are tied together in a lasting bond that you can never break ...

    You see cancer , you do NOT own me ... I own me ...
