Hello lovelies, its been a while but all has been going very well for me as much as possible but I have been looking in on the site occasionally as always. I just wanted to wish everyone well and a Happy Easter as well as just a little update on me. And also to everyone experiencing new phases in this illness and needing extra support my thoughts are with you and also to those no longer with us and their families.
All is quiet on the cancer front really, no scans due until May time but I have been feeling rather unwell for the last 3 weeks. Initially I was just very tired and rundown but then suffered chest pain and breathlessness which turned into a hacking cough. Went to GP but she wasnt too worried and gave me some anti inflammatories as she felt the pain was from my coughing?? Anyway it went on and on and eventually she gave me antibiotics which seem to have done the trick..and no reaction this time (they were different ones I've never heard of!) I feel alot better today and have been back to work this week. I just feel a little tired still and very sinusy. Although my mum is convinced I've had swine flu but I dont agree.
I got the most bizarre thing a few weeks ago which I am still trying to get used to and its a contact breast form...or stick on boob as I like to call it ;-) My reconstructive surgery is off the cards absolutely now so I decided I wanted to try a new prosthesis so I could wear normal bras as mastectomy underwear isnt the most attractive. This one I have is really sticky on the back and you basically put it in any bra and stick it to your chest and it stays there all day!! All you have to do is wash it with a kind of nail brush and once it dries its sticky again. Its fab and I would recommend it to all the breast cancer ladies out there.
My hubby and kids are all doing fab and its half term so I am hoping the weather stays nice enough to get out a few times at least. We are going on an easter egg trail on sunday so they are excited about that. We also have a holiday to the Lake District coming up mid May and I cant wait to get away as its so beautiful and peaceful up there.
I applied for the X Factor again and am determined to go and audition this time. I got an invitation to go and its the 2nd May so watch this space lol. I dont think I will do very well but my friend thinks I will at least get on the tele, dont know if thats good or bad?? But its on my imaginary list of things to do so I am going to do it!!
Well Ive rambled on enough and like I said all is well so I dont really have alot to say but I hope you all have a great weekend and dont eat too much choccy...I will be doing that enough for all of us ;-))
Love Chrissixxx
