Hello everyone,
back in december at just 25 i was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. I first turned to this site to try and find people of my own age, and struggled somewhat. As i approached my first treatment session in January, i realised i didnt really know what to expect. at all.
As of the 10th june i will have finally finished Chemo and will go on to have a lumpectomy, i have started a new light hearted blog about my journey and experience of breast cancer and would like to hope it may help others too. I am really doing it to spread awarness of breast cancer, and to support those perhaps young like myself dealing with cancer, and give reassurance that you are not alone. I also give my take and experience of chemo, the drugs, and the treatment – and will add to the blog weekly.
I am not doing this for the followers, as this blog doesnt work in that way, but as i read more and more about young women and men gettting diagnosed with breast cancer, this blog has given me back some of my confidence, as well as perhaps helping others too. Below is the link.

if it helps at least one person, then i consider that a success. Good luck on all of your journeys to whomever reads this.
Best wishes,
Hannah, aka Countrygirl25

Hi Hannah…
Well I’ll def follow your journey .. I have always tried to look for and chat to young ones on here … l tried to start something for young ones to chat like this .. but I came up with nothing … as I didn’t realise the pitfalls … I E … people who look on sights for young ones with no good intention … so there has to be loads of safety rules for that to come about … we all know those people get everywhere …
But if anyone comes on here young and newly diagnosed, I will tell them of your blog .. that is so amazing .. and you young ones make me feel so humble … your brave beond imagining .. so glad your getting through your journey .. and I’ll be watching you every step …
Thank you for comming here and letting us know, I’m sure you’ll help more then you’ll ever know … I can listen, and try to help them … but l know they just want someone younger to reach out too ..
Here’s to kicking cancers butt … sending you a vertual hug… chrissie ❤

Hannah I’ve just started reading your amazing blog … your as beautiful inside as you are outside … you are truly wonderful and your sense of humour shines through … I also found so many funny things that happened along my journey too .. well there’s a poem that I kept .. that to me is you .. so I hope you don’t mind me sharing it on here ..
From an old lass with breast cancer… to a young one …
It’s called A LETTER TO MY CANCER …
It may seem like you have control of my life right now …. but you don’t….. your presence only makes me stronger , braver , kinder ,wiser …
I choose how I think , what l speak and how l love … you will never be able to touch those things … NEVER …
The fear of your name no longer haunts my soul …. because my soul belongs to me, and those I love …
You may take a claim on my outer shell … but never on my Devine spirit that crys out “I am not my body” my soul will run .. leap … and tower over your attempts to pull me down in despair …
Those who surround me will fight with me .. to shout “we will not surrender ” our hearts and souls are tied together in a lasting bond that you can never break …
You see cancer , you do NOT own me … I own me … ❤

Lol, believe me…after chemo rads is a doddle! When you go in to be measured up and tattooed, it’s a complete faff….seems to go on forever, then when you get in the groove things speed up somewhat….only had 4 sessions so far, got another 20 to do….how you finding zoladex? I’m on herceptin every 3 weeks , only had one so far and thank goodness it was fine…..although I’m post menopausal I’m having the most horrendous flushes….didn’t realise I would have to go through all that palaver again…..heyho!….. xx

everyone seems to say rads is a doddle in comparison so im hoping that is the case for me haha!
zoladex is fine, i seem to have hot flushes on the regular at the moment, the warm weather is not helping i have to say. But otherwise its been ok – just have to put the fan on sometimes in the night which my partner loves haha! Think i will carry on with zoladex for at least another year but prefereably 2 they want, whilst i take the bone strengthening tablets after treatment is over.
im just trying to roll with it all, and take their advise haha!

i honestly dont know what they are called, useless i know – but they did my first one through iv after chemo last week, and got some calcium tablets i have to chew every day for 28 days then when chemo is done, they give me some tablets to take instead of it bein done via iv – but i am not sure when or what or how often they wil be yet. seems quite a standard thing they offer after treatment!
