Feeling really down today, very tired, my sister is going for CT scan on monday to see if her breast cancer has returned, but yesterday she was told her husband has a tumour on his bladder, he is to have surgery then chemo, he is alo going for a scan on monday and I'm seeing the oncologist on monday to discuss radiotherapy.I spent a couple of hours with her yesterday as she is really upset, (she had breast cancer a twice in the past and unfortunately it effected her mental health), it just goes through you're mind 'what next', I also seen my GP yesterday, my stomach is swollen on the same side as my mastectomy and he said it may be related to my cancer, sods law or what.
On the plus side..... the local paper are going to do a story on the race for life, there are 20 of my family going to do it for breast cancer, and they think its a good story for raising awareness, as my cancer was picked up due to early testing due to my family history, even my mum is doing it, she's 84 yr old and my other sister is going to push her in the wheelchair.
I just thought I was beginning to feel a lot brighter after my surgery and now had more bad news, but 'onwards and upwards' as they say, tomorrow is another day. Guess monday is 'C' day for the 3 of us, fingers crossed it's not more bad news.

Oh what I tough time you are all having. Just wanted to say good luck for Monday.
What a terrible time for you all for worry. My prayers are with you all. And if you are having a swollen stomach, ask for a cat scan of your abdomen. Don't let any symptom go unexamined. A great tight hug for you.
crikey viv it doesn`t rain but it pours eh, theres not really a lot anyone can say to that blog except good luck, and well done to all the family for doing the race for life, fingers and toes crossed for all of you,((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((big hugs)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
thank you all for you support and kind wishes, my stomach seems to be swelling daily, i think its just a fast growing pregnancy, (not possible I assure you, hubby had the snip 20 years ago) but only a couple of days to go before oncologist visit, I will let you know how we all get on,
