Ten years ago, Ruth was diagnosed with Stage 1, Grade 2
Invasive Breast Cancer following a mastectomy for extensive DCIS (Ductal Cancer
in Situ). During those 10 years the physical (medical and surgical), mental and
emotional consequences of diagnosis and treatment have been significant.
Despite 10 year of NED (no evidence of disease), the realisation that no one
can ever tell you that you are cancer free and that the cancer will never come
back has hit hard. It’s always there …
Always there
Through the good times and the hard
We have been through so much together
I lie in bed at night and you speak to me
I’m at work and you pop into my head
I’m with friends and you are sitting on my shoulder
Some days you feel further away
But others you surround me, fill me … and scare me
