All clear after a false start

15 Oct had my mammogram and ultrasound 3 yrs exactly to the day after the first ones that diagnosed me. Radiographer told me the Radiologist found something on the mammogram and they had to redo the ultrasound. In the end they re-did the ultrasound 3 times before I finally got the all clear. I was surprisingly calm. I guess a part of me believes that one day BC will come back and I am ready for that. But for now I am celebrating another year of all clear.

Also, it's good to know they are so thorough.

Now counting down the days until my major Heller Myotomy surgery for Achalasia on 30 Nov. Can't exactly say I am looking forward to my new stomach and oesophagus, but it will be so good to be able to eat solid food again.

    Oh Nadi I had been wondering how you were travelling.  At least now you have a date to fix the problem 
    Yay to the staff  being thorough and another all clear!  How good is that!  And I agree I think we are sort of ready for the scans to say I think it's back; not what we want but that is the knife edge that comes to the forefront as we go through the tests.
    Take care and best wishes for 30th November
    Sending you a virtual hug x
