Hi everyone!
The best news ever!!! All the nodes were negative for cancer.
Thank you everyone for your thoughts and well wishes.
The surgeon has told me to give it 4 weeks before going back to work or just be sensible about going back earlier. He was the MM was agressive so the surgery had to be too, hence the size of the wound. the graft did not take and will therefore take time to heal. There is overgranulation and still a lot of sluff but the dressing clinic nurse has cleaned a lot of that...

…… thank you. A little interruption to the usual flow of the blog. I’d like to say thank you to all of you that read my ramblings and most importantly to everyone who has posted a comment, on the blog, on the Macmillan site and elsewhere, along with all of the lovely emails. Macmillan needs a s special mention, keeping in mind how much all of you are also dealing with in your own lives. Your comments and feedback are truly appreciated, not only by myself but also Mr Bad...

I had about 18 months of catching every bug going and became really run down - I had (and still have) itchy skin, a persistent cough, night sweats, fatigue and miraculously lost 9kg without realising it. They thought I had allergies, asthma and then thyroid. In January 2010 my glands in my neck were swollen and didn't disappear this is when the gp thought thyroid. I wasn't happy with this so went to the senior gp who immediately put 2 and 2 together to get me fast track referred to en ENT....
Hi, well wasn't that fun?! I went in yesterday to have a PICC put in and my second treatment. The PICC went in fine...but went into my neck instead! I turned my head like a good girl but it wasn't going round that corner! Cue re-try, and the same thing happened again. So glad it wasn't a painful procedure, whether going in or out! They're referring me for a Groshong, straight into the chest under a local anaesth/sedative, so that sounds fun...
Had my treatment today instead, as they...

Good evening.
I have managed to find a photo of the original mole. It look a big messy as its post biopsy but its not that different to how i presented it to my GP. I had split it open while getting out the shower before xmas last year and never really healed. 2 months ago i showed my GP... the rest as they say is history.
Amazing how a mole the size of the average thumb nail can make a wound the size it has (for those of you who can bare to look at the photos!)
Hope this is of help to those with...
My darling little Angel,
You were not meant to be, but i love you very much.....
I wanted to be a mum, i wanted to hold you in my arms i am only sorry i didnt get to meet you, I miss you so much
Sleeping safe in a dream world
protected by all that surrounds you--
a beating heart
a gentle laugh
the touch of loving hands
And your future wasn't too far away.
We longed to see your smile
hear your cry and dry the tears
We longed to teach all that we knew
and hold your hand in ours
But time has slipped ...
