Well here goes my first ever blog post......at last. Its something I have been meaning to get round to doing. Even though life is very busy and hectic right now keeping a record of what life is like right now seems very important. Its not the year I had planned. My youngest started school in September and this was meant to be the year I returned to work among many other things. But fate intervened and a breast cancer diagnosis put a lot of things on hold.
I told you about the hearing aid down the Toilet . Today another disaster.
I was getting stuff out the back box on the van. As I walked round the back I walked into a really thick clingy Cobweb. I was pulling it out of my hair and off my face. It was like elastic. Out the corner of my eye I saw this big brown striped spider running along my shoulder. Panic.

I don't mind that; while I don't share their beliefs, it's completely well...

Back at work after my tests and confirmation of Hodgkins.
They are all being very suppotive at work and we are working together to try and work out my shifts around the Chemo.
The 15th seems a long way off but Im sure it will rush towards me.......
So here goes.... After a year of reading other blogs ive finally found the courage to write my own in the hope of finding someone in a similar situation.
My mum is 56 now and 2 years ago was diagnosed with limited stage small cell lung cancer. She had chemotherapy and radiotherapy followed by adjuvant radiotherapy to her brain.
Eleven months later the cancer returned in the same site as before and was still classed as limited stage disease as there was no spread. She then went on to have further...
