Last week I went on a Mediterranean cruise . The dates coincided with a year ago when I had my mastectomy. I wanted to replace a bad memory for November with a good one. I succeeded to a fair extent. I enjoyed cruise life, delicious food, visiting Marseille, Maiorca, Barcelona, Palermo and Rome. I loved the evening entertainment, especially the dancing and singing shows. Two horrible things occured while away.
On the Thursday morning the hospital called me telling me my date to have a small skin tumour near my eye removed. I knew this was coming but didn't expect the hospital to be so quick in getting back to me. I've had this growth for years but it started growing during chemo so the oncologist said it's best to have it removed. I've seen a dermatologist and a plastic surgeon and they've explained the procedure to me. Local anaestetic, 45 minutes estimated opeartion time. A walk in the park compared to the past year but I'm still anxious about it. The growth is really close to my eye.
That same Thursday afternoon I called my neighbour who's looking after my cats and he told me that one of them had died during the night. What a shock. Pretty crap day on my holiday. But the other days were good. Sometimes I feel I've won the lottery for bad luck for 2023-2024. Hoping 2025 will be better.
Thanks for reading this far.
