Second time around
Hi everyone
Its been a while for me but i have been a bit busy
My mum was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer which had spread to the brain lungs and liver in April 16 i have been traveling to Sydney where she is located. Baçk and forth since April. Sadley she lost the battle in December and for me having had breast cancer myself in 2013 i never wanted to hear those words again. I came home thinking thats it its over and Cancer is done with us but on a check up in January they discovered that I have breast cancer again this time in my left breast. Whats interesting is that a year earlier the same tests showed nothing and within a year the left breast was full of cancer so much so that the surgeon could not save it and with my history suggested a double mastectomy. I thought to myself that yearly checks are probably too long and mayby 6monthly would be more appropriate for high risk patients. I have had that done and recovering slowly and getting used to my new self.
Not sure whats next one day at a time and just wanted to reconnect with everyone.
Hope you are all going ok and will check in again soon.
