It is 5 weeks since my last chemo and I sit here now thinking....did that all happen??? It feels like a dream.
For the first time in 5 months I cleaned my house yesterday...all by myself!!! It was such an awesome feeling doing this for myself and not needing any help. I never thought that house work could be such an exciting thing!
Last night I went out for dinner and drinks with some friends for the first time in over 6 months. Through the night I kept getting hot flushes so I took off my head scarf....That is the first time I have let the public see my bald head and it was quiet empowering!!! I needed to have had a couple of drinks to have the courage, but I did it.
I feel like I am finally getting my life back. Even though I am soon to have my left breast mastectomy and recon for both. My head is clearer and I am rarely sad. I dont think I have shed a tear in over a week!!! Whoo hooo!
Stay positive pink ladies. There is light at the end of the tunnel...I know cos I can see it

Tania, thank you so much for your story.
A huge congratulations for getting this far, well done girl!!!!!!!!
It is stories like yours that give us the courage to carry on and yes to know there is light at the end of the tunnel. Currently I am not feeling that way but I am so happy for you.
I do know I will get there but it is a hard slog most days.
Things like being able to physically and even having the inclination to get stuck in to cleaning my house will be wonderful and wanting to go out again will be wonderful. Right now I am happy staying at home locked away in my lil house. I know it will pass and I will get over it and to hear your story is encouraging.
Wishing you the best of luck with the next part of your journey.
