Stop this ride....I want to get off !!!

  • A ray of hope.

    Friday 18th Nov

    I was given a ray of hope today, and it was gratefully received. I went from terrified to hopeful in a few hours and I feel blessed.

    Yesterday I convinced myself that this cancer had spread and that there would be no treatment for me. I'm not stupid, I know it happens, it can happen to anybody young and old, I'm not special. The lump was huge and painful and scaring the hell out of me. Today…

  • Is this it?

    This is the third time I've written this blog today...I keep losing it.

    Yesterday was such a horrendous day that I didn't think it could be topped, but boy did Thursday beat Wednesday by a long chalk.

    I found myself catching up with the washing and sorting out things from our weekend away, I set the cooker timer to remind myself to mix up the liquid to a litre of water at 12 o'clock. Oh…

  • I'm scared.

     It's Monday 14 November, 6pm 

    Today I am scared, very scared, we left Devon to come back to Wales today, I hated saying goodbye to my daughter, I hated coming home, seems so quiet and empty here. It was the most awful journey of my life, this lump is huge now and very uncomfortable, and its another week until surgery, I don't know if I can handle this anymore. I phoned the breast care nurse on the way home, she…
