Hi, I am so far a cancer survivor. My story is long and complicated so here goes: I was diagnosed with hormone responsive breast cancer six years ago. I had surgery, rads and hormone treatment. Two years after that I got a head and neck cancer. This was a rare one, SC Carcinona. I lost quite a bit of jaw, my salivary gland and inner ear which left me deaf. I had extensive plastic surgery which left me looking quite normal, whatever that is. I had more radiotherapy which was pure hell in that area as it affects balance and makes you sick as well as destroying the ability to taste. Last year I was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer which was a bit of a shock to say the least. I was found to be BRCA2+. My oncologist thought I looked too well and it was downgraded to stage 3. I finished chemo in November 2017 and had a lot of internal organs removed.
OK so having got all that out of the way, my primary purpose in posting is to help those who are starting out on this journey I have loads of tips, free advice and one working ear if you need to rant. Kit
