I thought my life was finished in 2011 when I was faced with the death of my son..also the same year I separated from my husband..in 2012 I got divorced... Just me and my then 12yr old daughter things were great until Jan 2013 and I was diagnosed with breast cancer it devastated my family it was tough I had chemo and I was really I'll with it I was at the stage I wanted to give up..but fir my daughter my parents and sisters I kept going I had 1 mnth of radio therapy and 1yr of herceptin.. my treatment lasted 17mnths and I'm now facing the extreme side effects of tamoxifen and have went into a depressive state..my herceptin ended 31/5/2014..my daughter is my rock she kept me going I look back and thank god I'm here.. I have to wait till October before I get the all clear... And me and my daughter just done the race for life today and she made me very proud she helped me massively and has given me something to keep fighting... We have never been able to grieve for my son because so much has happened but hopefully now we will be able to....
