Sorry for not updating my blog, this week has gone by in a daze of Doctors appointments, family visits and replying to a heap load of messages from friends around the world....I never knew I was so popular! Haha!
Well, I'm due to see my Consultant next week and will also have an MRI scan to see if the cancer has spread to other areas of my body...I'm keeping everything crossed this is not the case. In less than two weeks time, my genitals will look completely different to how they've looked...
I am normally a happy person, despite the stress and fear that cancer bursts into your life, I still try and hold on to as much optimism as I can. But it is hard, it is too difficult to be happy all of the time, to not be afraid, to not be angry at the cards I have been dealt over the past four years. I hate that chemotherapy can mean that a day where I feel happy, genuinely happy can turn on it's head so quickly and I find myself sat screaming into a cushion in tears for no reason. Countless times...
It's been a long time since I last posted. It's been 4 months since Grandma passed away and life is slowly getting back to normal (whatever normal is mind you!)
My birthday was hard, no card off Grandma was hard to deal with. She would also call me for a chat, I missed that so much this year.

I'm not great with trains in the rush hour (that's mostly when my appointments are) all those people crushed together. I'd been to Bart's for a PET SCAN one time, it makes you radioactive and you must not get near children or pregnant women. Well I had...
My amazing big sister was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in June a few days after our brother, Peter, he died on 28th June 2 weeks after being diagnose!! Chris has been having chemo and she was at the hospital on monday 20th for a scan to see if the cancer has spread, she gets her results on September 3rdm why does she have to wait so long, it's like a ticking time bomb,mental torture! When she was diagnosed her partner asked were her chances 50/50 and the doctor told them more like 70/30...........
DAY 2
By 10 am we had stillnot heard from the hospital about my husband's test results and when we could go and discuss them. My husband phoned the hospital and was told he had been transferred to a different consultant and that a letter had been sent with an appointment for 3rd September!
Appointment ? they had said we could go to the endoscopy ward for a chat. I then phoned the ward as I got no joy speaking to the consultants' secretaries.We now are seeing the new consultant onFriday at 9...
