Well the red blotches have not got any better, despite anti-biotics, special sterile washes etc. So spoke with Breast Care Nurse and had a fast appointment with the Breast Consultant.......... he took a biopsy from the reconstructed breast and it looks like it is also puckering a bit. So I have to wait till next week and go back for the results. Really could not go through all the treatments agaion as I am so drained, tired and weak these days, just want to sleep it all off. On top of this I now have a U.T.I. so on another anti-biotic specifically for this; My left arm is also so cold and thin to the touch and is getting heavier as if retracting back into the way it was after I had the radiotherapy, just wants to curl into the armpit. No swelling though, but very sticky armpit and it seems to want to attach itself to my side........... Reffered back to physio as dropping things and losing grip re pins n needles most of the time. Hope the Cancer has not returned, but part of me seems to think it has, whether this is because the fear that Cancer holds over me, I don't know; or because the symptoms are rather similiar to when I first got diagnosed 2 years ago, or just because I am so run down, I am thinking the worse scenarion. I know it is not Keloids as I thought it was and it is defeinetly not superficial as once thought. My wee grand daughter also has her Scan next week re her Ovaries to see if they are growing with regard to the Pre_TheLarche, she was born with and now she is 4 years, one of her breasts is still growing and not receding at all. Those of you who know know the background.
The fecking rain, hailstones etc etc etc don't help at all, wish the sun would come out at least for a wee while, it's so cold, I can't even get outdoors for some Vitamin D. Until next week......................
