Re: Women under 40
Hi Kristin,
I was 33 when diagnosed last November I have now finished all chemo, radiation and am continuing with Herceptin till Feb '12.
I feel that I did cope well with the chemo never sick occasional runs and one bad diarrhea when went to A & E.
I had a newborn and a 2.5 yr toddler to look after throughout it all and though did have help from lots of friends we managed!
I don't really know about your other questions I guess I'll let you know in 10 years time about how I feel about this adventure so young!
Glad you're markers are going in the right direction that must make you feel a lot happier!
My little one is now 7 months and just getting into everything a real joy his big sister is having her 3rd birthday next week so as ever it's a busy happy old house.
Take care
Jenny xx
