5 years on

When I was first diagnosed I always promised myself I’d post if and when I got to this point, so here I am.
2 weeks ago I had my last appointment with my consultant and have been discharged- I am done! :slight_smile:
It has been one hell of a journey and I still have some side effects, but most importantly, I’m here and I made it.
I will be scarred, emotionally and physically, forever by my cancer but I have learnt so much. Life has literally never been better and even after all this time, I appreciate every single day how lucky I am to have woken up :slight_smile:
To all the newbies, I remember the terror and fear, it used to take my breath away. But you’ve got this, take one day at a time and before you know it, you’ll be skipping out of your last appointment and having a happy cry in the car park, just like I did!
To all the ladies still fighting or facing recurrence, my very best wishes and a huge hug- I experienced just a small part of your journey and you truly are warriors.
To all the ladies that sadly gained their wings, much love and respect always.

We are all queens, much love to you all :slight_smile:
