Hi! This has been a very difficult year for me to say the least ,but I can say this…. Wow! I never knew I was such a Strong, Determined Warrior. I was diagnosed in February 2024 with invasive breast cancer just 4 months after my cleared mammogram. I accidentally found the 2 tumors. Had a mastectomy April 2024 with immediate breast reconstruction. After the expander protruded through the skin, 3 infections and surgeries later, it failed. Had the expander removed. After healing from an open wound recently, from the infection, I got “The Call” I was diagnosed with melanoma. I recently had surgery to remove it and just got my stitches out and I’m cleared! (For now) It’s almost October and went for an eye exam, they found a spot behind my eye and referred me to a retina specialist. Fingers crossed, No Cancer Pleaase! I’m 44 yrs young , lol. I’m ready for this year to be over!!

Really sounds like you have been through the mill. I feel your pain as I too have had a rubbish year - diagnosed stage 3 breast cancer in March and just recovering after mastectomy and full lymph node clearance .. can’t wait for the year to end! Bless you 😊
