Hi everyone...
just to say i havent disappeared! first week in new flat and enjoying it. only 15 mins to work on the bus now opposed to 1 hour 15 mins when i was living in london. flat mates are good and i am settling nicely.
went to my new gp practice yesterday and saw the nurse re dressings. she said there was nothing more she could do and it was now a matter of time, the wound is about 85% healed and it will be another 2 months before it is 100% better.

I have come to a 'moment in time' where I can just breathe the sea air where I live and for a short moment forget Cancer ever came in to my life. BUT Driving my car today I was stuck behind someone who was going so slow, I was almost shouting 'Hurry Up - I havn't got all the time in the world' and when I see something I want I just think 'Have it! I havn't got long, so I may as well enjoy it' - All very tongue in cheek

At last I have written confirmation for Aug 20th - Wide Excision and SLNB. It's been a long time coming, and until I actual got the call - even though I'd been told I was listed, I was still nervous.

I will be having my second TAC chemo on Mon 16th if all ok with blood test. Last week whilst on holiday I spent two nights in Withybush Hospital with an infection. Hard to believe, as I had little contact with anyone or anything. However the staff were great and Dr Anne was fab and soon I was back enjoying the North Pembrokeshire coast with my husband and four year old son
I have been told by my consultant not to go to the office whilst having treatment due to the size of the open plan office and...
