Heya all
Didnt think after having my final radiotherapy in June this year, that I would be on this site writing a blog.
How life changes hey
Everyone starts that awful journey of Cancer awaiting results. It's a very hard time, trying to concentrate, be positive. but you still wake up and think of it most of your day . Have I got cancer? What if its cancer? Then we hear the words Yes its cancer.
This year in February I was diagnosed with breast cancer, only a small amount but there it was... I have cancer, I was lucky they had caught it very early. It was also found in 1 lymph node out of the 3 that were taken. 2nd operation for sentinal lymph node removal in April
Covid came and we are in lockdown, unable to visit or see my children, granddaughters, to watch my daughters belly grow with my 3rd grandchild. It was lonely quiet and I needed a cwtch from them, was a long 5 months til I saw them
Then we struck lucky we rehomed a 14 month old pup who became our baby Daphne. Daphne got me up and out again, made me have a reason to get up and go out, feel he sun on my face. My energy levels were up I was feeling so much better, Daphne came to us at the perfect time.
My phone is full of picture and videos of her Besotted mummy and daddy. Im feeling great, new job to start in September then cancer struck again 2 days before I start work The vet discovers Daphne has aggressive cancer and has to be put to sleep. This is the hardest thing to deal with.
now month later I'm waiting to have a CT scan for more information to rule out if cancer has spread? Having already had an a MRI scan, bone x-ray and chest x ray.
So I thought I would follow this journey in a blog to keep me smiling being positive and just maybe have a rant in a humourous way.
Blog 1 over and done
