Went to see the Breast Cancer nurse yesterday and was told that the MDT had decided a mastectomy would be better for me than a lumpectomy as the cancer is a fast growing one and if they did a lumpectomy they would have to take a lot of surrounding tissue away and then there would still not be any guarantee that they got all the cancer and that would mean they may have to operate again etc.
Cried and cried... some days am absolutely fine with it, thinking breast gone, cancer gone, and then other...
I don't think there is anything I have to say today except to Bert. Sleep well I love and miss you this much

My mum has inoperable breast cancer. She had breast cancer before, and after an operation and six months of chemo, she beat it, but it came back in August 09 and this time its not going to go away. She's on chemo, but they can't operate to remove it (the doctor described it as being like getting ink out of paper), and eventually its going to spread. Predictably we don't have a real time frame, but when she told me she said she'd probably still be around next year, but after that there's no...
Have entered the "Race for Life" and providing the metal work holding my spine together is prepared to play the game I'm RUNNING. Most of my family and friends whilst supporting my decision to enter think i am mad to try and run it.
Was at the gym today getting to grips with the treadmill under the supervision of a very scary personal trainer. She only let me jog for about 1 min and although it wasn't as bad as i expected some parts of me could well disagree!!!!!!!!
Still no...

Hey
Just feeling really flat ove rthe last few days. I know that a hysterectomy is a big op and it has only been like 2 weeks but I just thought I would be seeing some improvement. My back and legs are aching probably because of all the laying around and I generally just feel really crap.
I guess I just a bit down about everything. The shock and adrenalin that kind of gets you through the tests and operation are wearing off and now Im just left with the reality of whats happened. Dont know whats...
Hi all,
Feeling a wee bit anxious as I have a 4 month review with ENT,on Thursday,never gets any easier,does it!
I think my husband might need to hire a JCB, to get me in through the doors of the hospital as I honestly hate it,especially the clinic,(I was on my own when I was diagnosed)
My best friend,dizzy as she is,lol!) phoned me today and told me that she was taking me to our local Theatre on Thursday night,as it would be something to distract me from all the panic!
I nearly choked when she...
Start of the journey, mum had cystoscopy last week, which showed cancer. CT scan on 1 March to see if its invasive. Everything on hold until we know more. Praying she is ok.
Well here i go, the first session to kill off my Hodgkin's Lymphoma hooray!
It is doing such funny things to me that I cannot wait to get started.
I have a new party trick. turn to the left hiccups, turn to the right hiccups move back to the centre and guess what, they stop straight away. spooky........
