Yesterday I cried for the first time

ER- PR- HER2+

Yesterday I had my first diagnostic mammo post treatment. Prior to yesterday I had not cried, I simply went into fight mode. Completed biopsies, chemo, partial mastectomy, radiation, and a full year of Herceptin...and all the horrible side effects, some still slightly linger today.

But yesterday when they told me I was a Birad 2 I just wept, thankfully the tech juat hugged me with a smile and encouraging words.

The fear i had deep inside me, was just gone​. I expect it to creep back up in a year, before my next mammo but for the first time I told myself..you won!!
