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

  • Lol, believe me...after chemo rads is a doddle! When you go in to be measured up and tattooed, it's a complete faff....seems to go on forever, then when you get in the groove things speed up somewhat....only had 4 sessions so far, got another 20 to do....how you finding zoladex? I'm on herceptin every 3 weeks , only had one so far and thank goodness it was fine.....although I'm post menopausal I'm having the most horrendous flushes....didn't realise I would have to go through all that palaver again.....heyho!..... xx
