A year ago today I was anxiously waiting to continue along my cancer journey and finally start chemo…seems like a lifetime ago with everything that has gone on since. However, I am grateful this past year has gone relatively smooth, treatments have always stayed on schedule and I am feeling stronger each day. Definitely mental as much physical, as the struggles have been real. 

Last week I had another surgery for fat grafting/injections. Definitely a much easier and quicker surgery than previous ones, however it did leave me more bruised and uncomfortable than I anticipated. The swelling and bruising is finally starting to go down and is becoming more comfortable. 

Yesterday I had another shot/injection for my hormonal treatments. This is something I have every 28 days and once I fully recover from this more recent surgery, I am going to look into getting my ovaries removed to avoid needing this shot/injection. Since my breast cancer was strongly hormonal, this treatment and a daily oral pill are necessary to control my hormonal levels and continue into menopause. 

And I am hoping this is my last caring bridge post…and that everything continues to go smooth. The journey does seem long and never ending, however, I am incredibly grateful for the support through all of this. I could never put into words how much all the extra love and support has meant to my family and I. 

Thank you ❤️
