Special birthday!??
Well the big 60 came on Tuesday and although a little miffed that I can get a Seniors Card (how can this be? I am a Beatle nut, never ageing, aged 22 on a good day..! lol) I was also very very pleased to celebrate a day that, in all honesty, I did rather think I may not achieve. Every birthday or significant date should be…

Where does the time go???
It feels like yesterday, I was sitting in the surgeon's rooms - it's breast cancer, she said. I cried. That was 9 weeks ago, tomorrow. So much has happened since then.

Happy Birthday
* Well it's my 45th birthday and I'm waiting for my surgeon to call with my pathology results. I had my surgery on Friday lumpectomy with an axilla dissection. * I had 2 tumors removed from my right breast, 1 was 8mm the other 14mm * Sometimes I am brave but sometimes I am petrified as to what I am in for. *

Inspirational words...
"What are my chances? It was a question I would repeat over and over. But it was irrelevant, wasn't it? It didn't matter, because the medical odds don't take into account the unfathomable.

next adventure
Just started my first chemo- travelling ok- the anticipation is just as scarey. Felt pretty sleepless and yuk after but day 2 is better. All this stuff certainly requires patience. Just spent the day lying in bed- can't remember when I was so decadent. I have been having seriously intense hot flushes since getting my…
