Another bad start to the year
Hi guys I was diagnosed last week with Breast Cancer after my GP did a boob check at a routine Pap Smear in Nov. She sent me for another mammogram in early Dec (altho the July 2017 one was clear ...

OK .... I am packing up, ready to go to Port Macquarie tomorrow to start ray treatment on Wed. We go on to Coffs Harbour next weekend for my husband’s triathlon, then back to Port on the Sunday for the continuing treatment.
I’ll see my GP tomorrow morning (who found my lumps back in Nov) so she can see my progress.
Hmmm .... weird!! This morning, I wake up and an area around my nipple is very sensitive to the touch! Almost a burning pain, but no obvious swelling or infection that I can see. If I raise my arm above my head, I can feel it ‘stretching pain’ too. Not excruciating or anything .... just annoying!
It is where I believe the knot was tied for the stitches ..... as I can feel 2 ‘sharp bits’ that aren’t big enough to cut.
I’ll let my breast care nurse in the surgeon’s office know in case they think it is significant.
I’ve been out fishing in my kayak a few times and finding some good fish. All good fun.
My uke group has been asked to play at the Relay for Life fund raiser here later in the month! What a coincidence, given my recent diagnosis. It is towards the end of my treatment, so hope I’ll feel up to it. Then my sister and her hubby will be visiting over Easter which is at the end of my treatment ... she will be in charge of our meals!! Good trade - accodation for meals!!
All the best to others who are going thru or starting their rad treaments just now xxxx
