second recurrence

Hi ladies here I am again on my 2nd recurrence. A little bit unusual presentation as I complained of ongoing back pain had,had MRI and CT which had all been clear. Until the most recent scan showed a lymph node under my breast. They have not been able to biopsy it as I have just had a DVT

and so I am on blood thinners and it would be difficult to get to. My team are convinced the cancer has returned and I was started on Chemo. yesterday.

Feeling very low I thought I would have had more time NED. I actually had 11 months

I’m so sorry that you’ve had this news which has meant starting chemo again, such a blow I imagine.

It’s no wonder that you are feeling low and that’s allowed. Give yourself the space to begin to accept this next phase.

Sending my very best wishes to you
