So last entry was hooray , back to earth with a massive bump. My youngest sons best friends mum had breast cancer almost 5 years ago , and found out last week it has re-appreared in her liver and spine. She didn't want me to know , but my son has told me , partly for his own sanity I think.
How totally crap is this disease , why is there so much re-currence ? She had both breasts removed and has no breast cancer anymore in her breasts, so the cancer must have , like for most women , just laid in wait in her body. Nothing shown on any scans previous , so what causes these seemingly dormant cells to become aggressive again ?
It is like a game of Russian roulette waiting to see if you get the bullet or not as the medical professionals don't know who will get it and who won't.
Very low and angry at the moment , it will pass and I will get in with living my life as I hope Jane will be able to for a long time.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
