Well I am fit enought to go back to work part time and I had my first two afternoons last week.It feels very odd as obviously I have been in a protective bubble for the past 11 months.
My life has completely changed and I am a 'new me' who hasn't figured it all out yet.
I feel like a square peg in a round hole...part of me doesn't work properly due to treatment...my brain doesn't retain information and my right arm is bad with lymphoedema and I am limited to duties and fatigue is draining...
I have been waiting to hear the results of cervical biopsies taken on 12/09/11 and have finally been told (yesterday) that they are ready and that the results will be shown to the colposcopy nurse and that I should receive a letter next week.
In the meantime I also had a biopsy done (7/10/11) on a new lesion that appeared on the foot I had Melanoma removed from in January...........It was marked as urgent.
I was due to go and see my plastic surgeon on 27/10/11 after my appointment on 20/10/11 was...
OK but as eating more suffering hiccups and burping.Hospital say nothing to get concerned about so that helps.Apparently my digestive system still settling down.Got my cd recorded this week and is selling really well.
I woke up this morning and was feelin blue dad a dad a daaaan... sorry I’m not a blues singer.
I woke up this morning a little scared as it was GC day. Checked phone as it was blinking at me. Messages of good luck and appendages crossed from my mac family and a text from Ems too. Nothing from my real family, but they are miles away and forget and friends don’t want to talk about it really so... thanks Mac family. I then read a blog which made me cry and want to run away. Then got lots of...
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in August of this year, after being refered for an enlarged lymph node I had a biopsy and the lymph node contained cancer cells. I was then advised to have all the lymph nodes removed from my left arm and a mastectomy of my left breast followed by 6 months chemotherapy. My boyfriend was devastated and could not understand how I made the decision to have a mastectomy without a second thought (his words) he predicted that I would be laid up in bed for weeks afterwards...

Wow!! infusion bottle of ifosfomide came off today after two weeks and now hubby has two weeks off before starting the next round. A great step forward although he is not feeling good at all.
He is very, very tired and extremely grumpy and irritable - I have to sidestep his remarks, which under normal circumstances would deserve a response - I am now having to ignore the nasty remarks or sarcasm and I am attributing it all to the chemo.
The doctor at the hospital talked of chemo head - and I found...
Had a pretty tough 6 months. Shortly after the Marathon I was devastatingly diagnosed with secondary brain tumours (having symptoms before and during the marathon). Radiotherapy to my brain happened in June and thankfully scans in august showed that I responded well to that treatment, and the tumours had significantly diminished in size. Hopefully the next scans in dec will confirm that. I had further radiotherapy about a month ago to an area that they were uncertain about in May' but which did turn...
This last few weeks have been hell. A real mixture of emotions, and I start to cry at times I'm least expecting it. Crying like a baby, my poor hubby doesn't know how to react. I even cry at Eastenders at the moment with the chemo story going on.
My Dad has just finished round 1 of his chemo. He's gone to the Marsden today to have his "bottle" disconnected. What a rollercoaster of emotions for everyone this last two weeks have been. I've watched him slowly look more ill, sometimes even yellow...
