I started a blog to describe what it is like being diagnosed with breast cancer and going through treatment. I hope it helps some of you out there going through the same thing.

Anyone on #Tamoxifen for breast cancer. How long does it take for it to clear from your system? I've been suffering with lots of side effects so my onc suggested a month's break. Am now wondering if that would make a difference?
So grateful to have my 17th dose of #herceptin delivered today by a lovely nurse from @hah_insights Keep up the good work 😊

Nobody mentioned increased risk of blood clots when on chemo. Came as a shock to me yesterday to find out my swollen arm wasn’t just because of falling down the stairs. I’ve a blood clot. Daily injections for life now. Thank god I fell or I wouldn’t of known. #BusyLivingWithMets
Today's dose of herceptin has left my thigh looking like I have a bad case of sunburn. Never happened before. What's all that about?
Chemo has worsened my eyesight so I went for an eye test the other day. When I told the optician I'm on herceptin he advised me to have a repeat test in 12 months as it can damage the cornea. I did not know that.

An investigation has found that 88% of Conservative ads are misleading.
We wouldn’t trust them to run a bath, never mind keep their promises regarding the NHS (which are nowhere near enough anyway).

Wish I could have just one day where I don't feel exhausted due to being awake half the night with the sweats caused by #tamoxifen
Here's a strange thing. I had my #herceptin last week and normally the injection site is pain free. However I went for a long walk yesterday and now the site feels like I've been punched. It is so painful, it's making me limp at times. Anyone else had this?
