hi

Hi my name is Sandra and I'm 52. I had breast cancer 14 years ago but have it again  now. Last time I had a lumpectomy and radiotherapy. This time I have had my lymph nodes removed. I'm half way through a 6 course of chemo.....this came in two parts. First part I'm through. 2nd part is very painful. I have to have a mastectomy and radiotherapy on my neck. Long time off work. 

  • Woo! Well done on getting through the first part! I've just had my lymph nodes removed from both underarms - how annoying are those drains? I've not had chemo or radiation so I can't begin to imagine what it must feel like. I'm sorry that you're having to go through it. Have you found anything that helps you to take your mind off things, even if it's just a bit? 

    Good luck with the rest of the treatment! We're rooting for you and there's always someone around when you need a chat.

    Chin up xx
