What I learned on my journey
during my bc journey, I learned there was more to it than chemo and radiation.
I learned:
- Chemo induced neuropathy never goes away and is really uncomfortable
- Lymphoedema hurts, everyday, and I learn to live with it
- Fatigue/chronic anemia is a daily struggle
- After losing your hair, scheduling a haircut is harder than you think
- Scheduling doctor appointments, blood draws, port flushes, CT scans, PET scans, and MRIs feels like a full time job
- Many women (me) have to take hormone blockers everyday for 10 years
- You experience grief in more ways you knew were possible
- You receive SO MUCH LOVE from family, friends, and even strangers
This year, I joined the Komen community and registered for the Susan G. Komen MORE THAN PINK Walk. I am dedicated to Komen's mission of ending breast cancer FOREVER, and I need your help. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today in support of my fundraising efforts.
