Constant Fear

I am 5 years post Breast Cancer surgery, 3 years post Chemo/ Radiotherapy treatment.  

I lost my Mum to Lung cancer 3 years ago we were having treatment at the same time.  I have 2 friends who are terminal after battling breast cancer, and another 2 friends in remission.

 It's a constant struggle to stay positive and not  worry that the cancer will return.  However I am one of the lucky ones.

 If I can help one person get through the day it's a blessing and a kick in the teeth for this vile disease.  

  • Hello Rosemary,

    Thanks a lot for sharing your story which I am sure many of our members who are starting breast cancer treatment will find very inspirational. I can imagine it is difficult not to worry that the cancer might return but it's great news that you are now 5 years post surgery and 3 years post treatment. I hope you are feeling well!

    I am so sorry to hear you have lost your mum to lung cancer - how moving that you were going through treatment at the same time. Cancer seems to have touched your life a lot.

    Thank you very much for your offer to help - I like the image that "it's a kick in the teeth for this vile disease". I am sure many of our members will welcome your support as they are starting treatment and facing so much uncertainty. Your story will give them courage I am sure. In fact there is a lady who posted recently [@seagirl]‍ who may benefit from your experience. You can read her message here and respond to her if you wish.

    Best wishes,
