12 months

It is hard to believe that a year has gone by since I was first diagnosed. An awful lot has happened, some bad and some good...

On Monday I had to be at the hospital bright and early for my first mammogram and ultra sound. The best thing about having a mastectomy is I only have to have one side done!!!! The ultra sound found a bit of a complication on the left side but the nurse said she was quite sure it was benign. It is now wednesday and I haven't heard anything so I am assuming all is well. I now have to wait until August to see the oncologist for my 6 month appointment but I am not expecting any surprises there. I'm feeling pretty good at the moment...apart from aching bones and joints. I am enjoying the cooler weather with few hot flushes!!!

I hope everyone else is feeling good as well...there is light at the end of the tunnell!!!

    Hi Lyn!  Did you get a call to follow up the mamo?  I guess you can tell me at our catch up next week?  Yes, aches and pains are a worry. I am on Vitamin D now and sure enough, it does ease the aches.  But it gives me a headache!
