Hi all,
I'm very new to this type of communication (first time ever) so bear with!
With all challenges that I have had to deal with in my life so far, (believe me I could write a book in fact friends have said I ought!) I suppose I should not have been surprised to be diagnosed with grade 2 invasive ductal carcinoma three weeks ago. I sort of knew it would be cancer from the fact my fantastic female GP was worried, it was my husband who fell apart when they told me. So hello from this middle aged, menopausal, Mum of three (one dyslexic, one transgender, one autistic) music loving, gerbil/rabbit mad, house proud housewife here in Somerset.
I am thinking positive, after all I have a date with Gary Barlow in December, although I do feel guilty at about what I am going to be putting my loved ones through in the next few months, as no doubt we all do in this situation. We as a family have been here before though, as we lost both my sister in law and aunt to cancer.
I have been told I have caught this early, they could not find anything in my lymph nodes on ultrasound and it is treatable. My journey begins next week with surgery then who knows, thankfully having my unique child has taught me to take one day at a time. Costa del hospital will be my Summer 2021 destination .... but not of choice and no sunshine guarantee! Sending positive vibes to all those out there who have found themselves in the same situation as me.
