I have been to the hospital today for the results of the biopsy.
Not good it is cancer in the lymph node, but they cannot find a link to the cancer in my right lung(not quite sure if thats the way they worded it)
They have decided that the best form of treatment will be chemotherapy but are not to sure at present what type of chemotherapy it will be I have to go back next Friday and they will tell me.
I am to have the first chemotherapy treatment on the 23rd September
I am quite lucky in some ways because at present I am not displaying any symptoms so they say that because I am quite fit(their words) they feel positive about the outcome My sister and nephew who came with me also appear to be quite positive.
To be honest I didn't take everything in once I heard the word chemotherapy my brain seemed to stop functioning and when they asked if I had any questions the only one I could think of was why me -obviously I didn't ask because there isn't an answer to that one.
I phoned Tony my husband at work and briefly explained and am now waiting for him to arrive home feeling like my head is about to explode.
I feel like getting absolutely p****d tonight which I know will not change anything but might make me feel better short term.
At least I know that if I have any questions or want to vent my feelings then this community is the right place to do it.
I sign off now and go and have a good cry
