I too went through bc during the holiday season. Diagnosed in September and my first chemo treatment on December 23rd. I didn’t know what to expect and was scared to death, I can tell you all that beating bc has allot to do with positivity. If you stay positive, no matter how hard it may seem(and it is hard) you find the fight is a little easier. You take each day a step at a time, give yourself a pat on the back for each treatment you tolerated, and you too will find some comfort in knowing they do come to an end eventually. If I can ease one persons fear with this post I am blessed.
