But not a very patient one!
I've at least got a diagnosis, it's invasive ductal cancer grade 2, but still small, oestrogen receptive but looks as if I might get away with the lymph nodes....and maybe not too much treatment afterwards?
Complex plan, but to begin with, a sentinel node (plus another one or so) removal as day surgery, (a nuclear medicine visit first to get 'the jab' for them to trace) then a gap while that, plus the HER result come back, then because of my previous surgeries for cysts and the fact one resulted in a massive haematoma, therefore scar tissue, I will have a complete mastectomy with an implant. That will be immediately after Easter.
By finding out as much as possible beforehand, the surgeon hopes to prevent too many operations. Obviously I will then need Tamoxifen or similar, so will appreciate helpful advice about that.
But I'd be interested on anyone's 'take' on her plan. I feel reassured that she took time with me, and the BC nurse afterwards spent a good while too.

My creativity has paused. I sketched me from a photo…. I knitted a hat for me but undid it!! It’s been a while since knitting and sadly my hands and wrists hurt and during the night I wake with pins
nd needles.
I will finish and go back to drawing or sewing in new year…..as…..
I’ve been given calligraphy / ink nibs from sis, (I gave her pretty necklace) and also - drum roll - a needle raft model so I can sew garments to fit!! Yay! Gulp!
birthday puzzle and an oldie too!

Yes I love writing and I've had some it published in small magazines and one in a journal. I belong to an online writing group which is fun. the decorations are little stockings.
