Breast Cancer Story In Short
I was Diagnosed with Advanced Grade 2 Breast Cancer in May 2007 which was Hormone Receptive and HER2 Positive. After 8 rounds of Chemotherapy I had a Bilateral Mastectomy with Immediate Reconstrction. This was then followed by 15 sessions of Radiotherapy. Hormone Therpay was issued along with a year of Herceptin. Herceptin finished in Oct 08 and then the awfull neck pain started.
April 2009 and the Cancer is back
It has spread to my bones. Nov 09 and a small nodule has been found in my liver along with a lump on my neck. I am currently undergoing chemotherapy again to try and control this awfull desease. I still remain positive and confident that I will beat it.

CHAPTER FOUR
(added 16th May 2010
Chemo causes fatigue not just because it kills off the red blood cells too quickly but also because of the hormonal alterations in my body and the lack of sleep and anxiety. This is why I am feeling physically exhausted. The emotional drain is overwhelming and I have noticed that things are taking twice as long for me to do of which I have to take lots of breaks. I am now finding work quite difficult, not the job itself it’s the getting up and getting there and sometimes I think I would be fine if there was a nice comfy sofa in the staff room, that I could go relax on in my breaks and lunch hour.Menu's of 'My Breast Cancer Story' Website
