Hi girls,
The surgery is done, chemo done, radiotherapy done! Went to see my Oncologist last Tuesday and he doesn't want to see me again until October. So thrilled, I'm giving cancer the boot. Its so nice to have the summer ahead without any treatment. Well I am starting Tamoxifen this week but I refuse to anticipate any problems there, am I naive?
I hope you are all keeping well and thanks again for the support.

Hi Garcon,

Well done to you. That is absolutely fantastic news.

The weather today is pants (in Kildare anyway) but hopefully you'll get lots of sunny days to sit and relax out the back with a well deserved glass of wine.

I start chemo in the next 4-5 weeks so I'm a good bit behind you but you are my inspiration going forward.

Take care,

Karen
