Another few weeks has flown by! I am ‘sort of’ back at work! I love my job and as I work from home, it is a very easy transistion to make. I feel extremely well, both physically and mentally and have good energy levels again. I started my Herceptin injections last week, but was fine, aside from being sick just afterwards, then again a few days in. My Magnesium levels have finally settled down and I can now take sachets as opposed to infusions. I start radiotherapy on Tuesday, for 15 sessions and am convinced it will have no effect on me, lol. We will have to see! My surgery site healed amazingly and is so neat. The surgeon has said they may do the diep much sooner now, as they have not had to fill the expander at all to stretch the skin, (I want to go smaller). I love the new size and they will match up my other side. Not too keen on the tummy surgery, but they are very insistent that it is the best option. There’s not much else to say now. Everyone said I would find a new normal and they were partly right; I think this is much closer to ‘back to normal’ than even a new normal. Life has returned, problems are maybe more in perspective now and my tolerance and understanding levels have altered, but life feels much the same again. It seems strange that death came to visit; I’m just glad that we shut the door on his face!
