Had my right breast removed and reconstruction done, and results back, no chemo needed and no further signs of cancer. So very lucky as it was caught in time before my two tumours could join up into one. But have not felt like juming up and down for joy. After all the rush from wtart to finish it has left a very strange feeling. I guess that is the norm.

Well what a roller coaster this experience is (I mean the cancer not the bloging lol!) I'm looking for advice from anyone out there who has had an APR or an LAR for rectal cancer. I have a tumour 5cm from the anal verge. I've had chemoradiotherapy and am booked in for surgery on 26 March 2010.

Sure as heck don't want gout on top of everything else.
Energy levels seem to be okay as is appetite. Another bone marrow asp on 23rd March whiich...
This week we have had a visit from Ron's father and brother. Coming over from England meant that they stayed a few days. It was a change for Ron but non whatsoever for me. I still barrowed the logs in from the wood pile. I still laid and fed the fire and brought baskets of logs up from the basement several times a day. I still worked in the garden (large)clearing fallen leaves etc. I would not expect help from Ron's father. He is 85, frail and looks after Ron's mother who suffers from dementia but...
My Mum came with me again today but think I will do next week on my own. Got to the hospital without too much trouble and waited my turn. Lots of people there that I'd seen all week. Lots of elderly men today. All arrived and changed into dressing gowns and slippers. Did look funny, all sitting there in dresing gowns, nattering like old women!!
Anyway, got to my turn and had my treatment and the last of my scans. Yippee I've done them all. The pain in my arm was really bad today and it really...
