New secondary diagnosis

To all of you who mentioned my gorgeous friend Mich in your posts I am very very blessed to have found the beautiful Mich online here at BCNA when we were both travelling the treatment path We posted quite regularly then one day I noticed she had written about her chooks. I was raising some beautiful polish day old chicks to keep me busy during the joys of chemo and I sent her a private message telling her about my girls. I could never have known then what an important part of my life Mich would become. From that day onwards we have talked at least once a day and on many many days we talk via text and email several times a day. I believe we have gotten each other through some tough days both in our B C journey and in other areas of our lives. We have met up in Sydney for a night and Mich has spent time with me and my beautiful children here on the beautiful NSW Central Coast. In a few weeks Mich will be again be spending a week with us and I am looking forward to visiting her in WA later in in the year. I am sure all of you here have been lucky enough to have been supported through your journey by Mich and I am so proud of her for the wonderful work she does as a community liaison officer with BCNA. MICH I am so blessed to have you in my life I hope all the beautiful ladies here on BCNA get the opportunity to find their special Pink Sister just like I have been lucky enough to have found you I love you so much and I can't wait to give you a huge hug when I see you in a few weeks time Mel xxx

So sorry to hear your latest news, our new reality and constant fear is living with the possibility that it will return. I had a scare recently and I was so angry, so I understand your feelings. You have travelled this road before and somehow you will find the courage to do it again. We will all be here for you along with Mich. Sending a big warm hug, love Vicki xox

Thank so much for your wonderful support I saw my oncologist today and was a bit disappointed with my appointment. She jumped from one issue to the next and even confused my daughter so it isn't my chemo brain that made her hard to follow. I will have a pep ? Scan in next few days then will commence zomara once a month. She is quite concerned about lesions on my kidneys and liver still and has ordered more bloods and a ct focussing just in kidneys and liver. The lesions in my kidneys were picked up about 8 years ago and have been monitored closely but not sure when liver issues started I have to see a dentist ASAP to get my teeth checked before starting zomara as it can cause dreadful complications to jaw if teeth have cavities etc she said. I see her again in 3 weeks She is making phone contact with radiology to go through my ct and bone scan with reporting doctor. After my appointment my beautiful daughter Tara and I had lunch then went to the movies and saw The Heat. Great for anyone who needs a good laugh as we did I started a sustainability in early childhood centres tafe course tonight which was fun and will keep my brain busy till end of year. I was glad to hear I can work through my treatment as at this stage no chemo. Last treatment I had to stop work as I am a preschool teacher and couldn't take the risk of getting an infection. i returned to work in november. Working with children is my passion and nothing keeps you as happy as when a child throws their arms around you and says I love you :) My gorgeous friend Mich I'm counting down the days till we get to catch up :) Thanks again for your support Mel xxx

You've done the hard yards,it's so not fair.I'm so sorry to hear your news and that you have to face up to treatment yet again.Why don't these rotten little bc cells die from chemo.Stay here with your pink sisters for support.

Hi Mel, so sorry to hear your news. We are all here to support you. Thinking of you. Love Chris xx

Hello my BCNA BEASTIE (BESTIE).  Life is just so blooy unfair sometimes.  Why????? when you have already endured so much and only such a short time ago Why?????  I so wish I could wave a magic wand and make all this horrible horrible stuff go away.  I wish I could reach my arms across the miles that separate us to give you big hugs and to take the hurt, the sadness, the anger and the questioning of why me away and to just make it all better.  I can't right now but I will be with you soon.  The Summit is approaching quickly now and then we can get to spend some quality time following this just sitting on your lounge chair with your precious lil menagerie of animals around us and talk for hours like we have done before.  It won't be long and I can give you the hugs I so wish I could give right now.  I wish I could be there for you now to hold your hand through all the appointments and tests you will be going through and to take the sadness away.You know I am thinking of you every minute of every day.                      "NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE TO A WILLING HEART"  Sending  you lots of love today, tomorrow and always, Mich xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
