Cancer Support and Caregivers Who Are Trail Blazers!

Well, while I was gone from here for about 1.5 years I spent about 9 months of that navigating breast cancer. Went through diagnosis, bilateral mastectomy, chemo, and radiation. I finished treatment on December 18th. I start hormone blockers sometime in the next week and should be on that for 10 years. Cheers, trail blazers. Health and healing to us all!

Hi, easygoingfemme. I'm sorry to hear that this dreaded disease struck you. Breast cancer treatment is a long road. I am glad you came to this thread and hope that you stick around. Keep us updated.

I wish all of you healing and good outcomes and better health now and in the years to come.

Thanks, everyone. Hopes for you all to have a healthy cancer free path ahead as well! I'm grateful I went into this in otherwise very good health, and very grateful to be on the other side of the chemo/surgery part. This year challenged me in so many ways. Now forming "the new normal" and putting one foot in front of the other.

ABOUT CLEANING FOR A REASON
Cleaning For A Reason is a nonprofit organization that serves the United States and Canada. Our mission is to give the gift of free house cleaning for women undergoing treatment for any type of cancer. Our goal is to let these brave and strong women focus on their health and treatment while we focus on, and take away the worry and work of, cleaning their homes– free of charge. We have recruited over 1,200 maid services to donate free housecleaning to women who are undergoing treatment for cancer.
