Well, yesterday confirmed that I really am a big girl’s blouse, lol !! Having my picc line put in was horrible. My veins are apparently very close to my arteries so it took a long time to find a suitable place to put it in. I was so tense the poor nurse found it almost impossible to get the line in so a procedure that should have taken they say 20 mins actually took 1 1/2 hours! Full respect to the nurses, the one…
Had my results post surgery... they found cancer in two of the fifteen lymph’s they took out. I do feel this is good news although I must confess I am gutted they found it in them at all.

Hope, whilst waiting for the hospital appointment and the results, despair when my worst nightmare came true and now I`m trying very hard to hold onto courage.
