I have just found out that a member of my family has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. We are related by marriage and she isnt a close family member but I am going to give her a call later to give her my love. All we know is she is having radiotherapy so hopefully everything is in its early stages and she has a good outlook. Also my aunt who I am quite close to has had problems with breast lumps throughout her life…
Its been a bit of a quiet week/weekend really. Since having my treatment on Tuesday I have had a funny head, not quite a headache, its hard to describe. I used to get it when I was on Herceptin before so I know its normal but it makes me feel a bit poo.

So I have another 3 months then some more scans etc but its all good just now.
Hope everyone else is ok too
Love Chrissi…
