Since my mastectomy i do check regularly for any changes though it isn’t very easy as my left arm and hand are badly affected by MS. My husband checks for any changes too. I’ve just had my 6 monthly CLL check. Apart from the white blood cells everything was normal. The w.b.c. is 13 this time. Even though only 3 above the accepted level it has suddenly brought everything back and my brain is working overtime! Before lockdown I felt so healthy and upbeat too. I think because I’m classed as elderly and vulnerable it preys on my mind, it is never far from the surface and keeps bubbling up. I must be a nightmare to live with! The last few days of extreme temperatures can’t have been easy for anyone particularly those undergoing chemo. I also know that it affect MS sufferers adversely so why aren’t I being logical? As restrictions are lifted and life gradually returns to some semblance of normality things will get better for us all I’m sure. My next mammogram and blood checks are not until December so I must try to live life to the full and enjoy being able to see my family and friends again. We must all be positive however hard it is and whatever life throws at us otherwise we aren’t helping ourselves or anybody else
