Breast cancer - diagnosed at 32 years, my story part 3 - Recovery

In my previous article I explained how I discovered the cancer chemotherapy, my initial treatments, and the. Now I will discuss how all this came to an end. It 'been a long struggle, and now I can look back and say what really happened.

Follow-up visits Galore

You would think that after all the surgeries and chemo, I was done. However, this was not the case. My doctor told me he only wanted to see the reconstruction of every day, then every few weeks. I had to exerciseto ensure that the reconstruction was right. It 'been a long and very demanding.

After the chemo drugs

There are two drugs administered to women after breast cancer, tamoxifen and Arimidex. I started Arimidex because I had a hysterectomy years before. However, I needed a bone scan results as Arimidex bone loss can lead to osteoporosis. It turned out I had severe osteoporosis and I was only 33! (I had my birthday, because myinitial diagnosis of breast cancer to 32)

The doctor has me on tamoxifen, but could not take it. It turns out it made my heart race. This does not mean chemotherapy drugs for me.

I Quit

Against all medical advice, I got sick of doctors. I could not manage to see another doctor again. So just over a year since my initial diagnosis, I had to see doctors. That was about 8 months.

Some people wonder how ITo find out if the cancer returns. Others ask me if I am interested. Honestly, at this point, I do not care. If my cancer came back, would automatically be 4 stages. It would mean that had metastasized and spread elsewhere.

I am now 34 years and I know that I do not do it again. If I have cancer again, so be it. I will not ask for my life, if you go to spend. I'm not going to waste the doctors time. It 's my choice. It is nota popular choice and is not recommended. However, it is my choice.

Concluding Remarks

For each pass through the treatment of breast cancer, you will get through and your life will return.

For all you know anyone who passes through the treatment to be patient. I remember that after it was over I felt bad for what I had said and done. My aunt, two days before I was diagnosed, I felt the same way. She was angry with my mother and not talk to herthrough the entire process. After everything was over and she had returned to normal, my mother called.

If we go through this, not our heart, our mind and our emotions. Please ride out the storm and we expect the other side.
