    Hi Melissa,

    A warm welcome to Cancer Chat. What type of cancer do you have and, do you know what stage it is?

    I am sorry to hear that you are going through this for a second time. I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer. The first was 8 years ago and the second was 7. I was devastated when it came back so quickly. The first time I had a lumpectomy and first level lymph node removal - fortunately none of these were infected. I followed this with Tamoxifen for the first year. Second time around I had a double mastectomy, followed by Letrozole for 6  years. I finished taking this in July 2017.

    How are you coping with your chemo?I do hope that you get through it without too much trouble.

    Please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
