On day one I made a paper crane, and I have made one every day since. I will keep making one all the way through until I get to the end of my treatment. At the moment they are sitting on the top of the windows but I think I'm going to run out of space ! I might make a chain and hang them from the ceiling in my new craft room which my gorgeous husband has been renovating for me. It's a angible sign for me of moving forward, of progress and success and renewal. And aside from that, they're very pretty !

Yes,just wallow in it if you feel like it.Nothing wrong with that,-can't be upbeat all the time.It seems like 2 steps forward and then 1 step back with this bc journey.Your paper cranes sound like a lovely idea and your trip with your son will be a great distraction.Gotta grab some fun and laughs when you can.

Hi Keitha
Well, atleast like us its treatable. Stay positive my lovely, we will all be positive for you as well
.Yes, the cranes idea is lovely, and I will put them actually in my kitchen window so I can see them everyday. I also have a beautiful glass bird that I have hung there which catches the light every day. This was once my mother-in-laws to which she died suddenly several years ago. I look at it everyday and smile at it. It reminds me of her - classy and beautiful.
Don't feel glum, actually have a toast to yourself a lovely wine or something that takes your fancy, to thank yourself that you found this at the beginning, and that now you will be treated and on the road to recovery.
Stay positive, like us. You will have bad days, but just remember there are good days and there will be achievement days. Days when you have achieved one less treatment to the endless ones we all will have to have.
Have a great holiday. Do all the shopping you want - coz remember - you do deserve it.... Indulge in the things you might not normally do, coz you can. And with your baby boy "19", I am sure he will also spoil you on your trip together. I think thats great you have a lovely relationship with him, as at 19 they tend to do their own thing. I hope my boys when they get to 19, they still enjoy my company....
Enjoy your trip, have fun, laughs, and indulge. Love as always Julie XX

I have learned so much in these past few weeks and not the least of these is how lucky I am.
Even though I am afraid of this disease, if I could swap what I have with one of our younger sisters with ABC, I would - in a heartbeat. I have at least had the joy of watching my children grow into adults, I've seen one married, I've had a LIFE. If there was a way to swap my elder years for someone else to have that chance then I would do it.
It's not fair - why do those beautiful girls have to die so soon ? It's not right.
When we see all the millions spent around the world on movie stars and sports people and by millionaires on goldplated bathrooms doesn't it make you cry ? Couldn't they pour all that into finding a cure ? Surely someone somewhere could find a cure if they had enough people and enough money to fund the research ? What's wrong with the world ?
It's too depressing.

Hi Keitha
Here, here, I so agree. So many people have soooo much money and are greedy.
As they say - LIFE IS A BITCH. But its not fair.
Not just us having BC and young women dying from this horrible disease. But children who also suffer from their diseases and have their lives cut even shorter. Its just not fair. I get so upset when I hear that a little life has been cut short . How sad.
So horribly sad, but we just keep fighting

1.30 and here I am again.
Today is a good day. I WAS depressed yesterday - it just all piles up sometimes I think and seems so f***ing pointless.
Had a good chat today with a very long ago friend who I learned had BC about 8 years ago - lump out then mastectomy / chemo / Tamox and afterwards managed to struggle through a marriage break up (just what you need !) BUT she is fine. Loving life, doing everything she wants to do, sharing her story, just getting on with it. It helped a lot. I don't know why it makes me feel better knowing someone else has had it, I spose KNOWING someone and that they are a survivor makes it more real. I will be glad to get on with the treatment I must say - once again, the waiting. . .
I heard from my eldest son's gf today and I'll be spending Tuesday with them when I get to Melb !! Yayyy !! Haven't seen him for a while so that's a real treat.
Thanks girls.
Love to all

Hi Keitha
Yes, the depression seems to catch us at times. Me.... was just last weekend.Couldn't stop crying for some stupid reason. I felt like a freak, looked like a freak and my body feels like a freak. When will all this end?
Body, mind and spirit had a real low.
But, then you seem to get out of it, and just keep on going.
I visited the Radiologist yesterday to talk about the next plan of "attack" after I finish chemo. I have to have 30 sessions of radiation.... I just cringed at the thought of soooo many. Why do we need to have our poor bodies go through all this.... it's just unfair.
Thinking .... is this normal to have so many? Or this is just the norm with us girls?
But, deep down I know this is all to be done, so we can survive for MANY years to come.
Glad, you are staying with your eldest son, it should be great. Hope you have nice warmer weather, as it has been quite cold there lately. Have a great time...... you totally deserve the rest and break.
Love Julie XX

Oh Julie - what a prospect, I am thinking of you girl, good luck with all that.
********************************************************************************
Wow - had a fab time ! The weather was kind to us, it was cold but not wet, a little windy but ok. I spent the first afternoon with my eldest son and his gf and then had dinner with them before the show which was excellent. The hotel was fine with a great breakfast included. My youngest son had a wonderful evening with some friends and then we spent yesterday at Scienceworks and then shopping ! He loved doing that too ! We found some very interesting shops - it's always fun in another city where there are shops you don't have at home. We had some nice food, we laughed a lot, it was an all round good time.
Wouldn't it be good if it was holidays all the time - I would love that. *sigh*
Back to the real world now. Oncologist and radiation set up next week. Wish me luck.
