2025 brings a new year, unlike any I've experienced before.
In a few weeks it'll be one year since I went for 'that' mammogram.
Tomorrow was meant to be the day of my 2nd mastectomy (elected), which would have completed my treatment for bilateral breast cancer.
Instead, today I had an appointment to plan full breast radiotherapy. This, I definitely did not want.
However, having developed a blood clot in the lung, 2 days before my last round of chemotherapy. Surgery is not possible for at least three months.
After lengthy discussions with the consultant oncologist and surgeon. I accepted the advice, that the least risky option was to have full radiotherapy now and surgery later this year.
Once again, I feel my life choices are out of my hands. Cancer is calling the shots!
