In 2016 I was diagnosed with primary breast cancer, in the year that followed I had 6 sessions of chemotherapy, 23 sessions of radiotherapy and then 8 months of hormone therapy. Unfortunately, just as I was starting to rebuild my life, I was diagnosed with metastatic, or incurable, cancer. The breast cancer has spread to my bones and my lymph system and I have now been on treatment for MBC since 2019.
I have been blogging about my cancer diagnosis and treatment throughout the years and you can find those posts here.
If you have questions about anything you read in these posts, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me on my contact page.
There is a bit of a MBC hub here with more info about my cancer diagnosis too.
A couple of months ago I was offered the chance to have a power port fitted.
Now you might be asking what on earth a power port is, basically it’s a little purple valve that sits under your skin in your chest and connects to the vein in your neck, and it means that I don’t have to be cannulated in the hand any more when I have treatment.
