  • A trip with triple negative breast cancer
    Relief and frustration
    I had my follow up appointment today. Naively, I expected all the disciplines of the MDT to be at the clinic so that it was a one stop shop to agree what happens next, even if it meant a succession of meetings. But no, it was just the surgery team fe...

    Community Round-Up Blog - March 2022

    March sparks the season of change. As nature starts to repair after winter and spring starts to arrive (although I wish spring would get a move on with the temperature change!)

So get ready to read all about the what’s been going on on the Community for the marvellous month of March.

    We kick-started March by releasing...

    Playing it by ear

    Early April update

    Just a quick update 

    March Echo scan seemed to go ok, (waiting on oncologist to phone and let us know more)  and still waiting on CT scan appointment which seem to be taking longer now, we imagine this is caused by the backlog of Covid and lockdown.

    Dal still has occasional glitches when eating, (which I think I find more scary than he does) and still has nosebleeds a few days after treatment, this is one of his main on-going side effects.

    Sometimes he is tired, but mostly he just continues to keep...
