Completed radiation in November 2020.
It was a couple years before I felt a little like my old self.
Done with anastrozole in December 2025.
Day by day, life is returning to normal.
But that dark cloud lurks in the background. When friend have reoccurring cancer, I know that’s a possibility for me too.
So I treasure the good days.
My wish for all of you is that the day comes when you haven’t had one thought that you ever had cancer.
That sounds insane but that day will come and you’ll be so relieved and know you are healing!

Hi
May I ask what age you are? I was diagnosed September 2023. First surgery
was in December 2023. Second surgery for lymph nodes was in February 2024
and then radiation was in March end of March until April 2nd 2 weeks of
double hits. The doctor said I could have four weeks 20 rounds single or 10
days double hits. As I had to go out of town for this an hour away I chose
10 days I stayed at a hotel which was covered by the Cancer society I live
in Canada had to pay $33 a day which was nothing and it was three meals
very nice place. I was exactly one year with horrid fatigue but once I was
able to start exercising it lessened but I still feel an underlying
fatigue.
