@Caz1, thanks for the belly laugh.  You made my day!

“Cancer is an unexpected lodger who turns up, messes things up and causes chaos. You finally get rid of them, then realise they’ve kept the key.”  I like that, too, @Afraser. I've been known to call it a saga as it does go on and on at times.

my journey - tiptoeing thru a minefield with a blindfold on...

I really hate the use of 'journey' in the description of our cancer treatment. Breast cancer is one of the shitty hurdles that life has thrown at me but I am definitely not on a journey.

@BlackWidow I like "saga".
My saga of fatigue goes on and on.
I'm having my two-year scan tomorrow.
Saw my new GP today (my old one of 30 years retired in December) about a broad panel of rash under my remaining boob. It's not sore or itchy. Skin is thickened and rough. She's concerned. Now I am too. Imagining IBC. Oh well. Should know tomorrow or soon after.

That's no good @Flaneuse. Wretched, wretched BC. I'll cross my fingers that it is nothing concerning. One step at a time dear friend. K xox

Best wishes @Flaneuse for a benign and reassuring explanation.

All the best for your tests, @Flaneuse - good that your new GP is onto it!  xx

I love the analogy of the bloody thing outside the back door licking the glass.
Then you second guess yourself constantly, I did lock that door right?

@May20019 I call it a shitty hurdle too....just another one to jump over...

@Flaneuse sending hugs , fingers crossed xx

Thanks @Caz1. Agreed.
