Well ladies I have signed up and in training.Two years ago I got the worst news any of us can get Breast Cancer but two years on im trying to keep busy and I love the fresh air so walking is something I love.Having said that I have entered in the Jogging section so I will have to up the pace a small bit.
It will be 2 years on 2nd March since my Mastectomy and finished Chemo in July 2011.
So for all the NEWBIES I was you 2 years ago and see where I am now keep asking the questions the ladies on hear are fantastic help and support.

Best of luck and fair play doing the marathon.
I'm just finished treatment and trying to ease myself into activity. I put up weight which I would like to get rid of and get healthy.
Hopefully I could be running like you in 2 years time

I'll be in the middle of rads when it's on, but I've entered but only walking this year. My radiologist and onc said there is no reason why I can't!! Mind you I may feel differently when the time comes...... Image removed.
