Cancer Support
Showing Original Post only (View all)Thank you everyone for being so kind and supportive. [View all]
My oncotype test came back and I will not have to go through chemo, which is a major relief to me.
Looks like it will be just radiation and endocrine therapy.
So I have a lot to be thankful for as thanksgiving approaches.
I have been going through a bit of mourning for my old pre-cancer self and body but I know I will be happy with my new breasts once the scars are not quite so gruesome and once the swelling has subsided. I think on this cancer journey we all have moments where we need to let the sadness out and mourn, and then carry on.
Thank you all for being here and being you.
