All will be revealed ... well some things anyway

After a longer than usual recall, wait to see the surgeon, then surgery - Tomorrow I see my surgeon for my pathology one week to the day since I had my wide local excision and sentinal node biopsy. Nervous much? Had a rather large meltdown tonight and a really good cry. Feel better. My husband god bless him held me, stroked my hair and said nothing. He's learning. He doesn't have to provide a solution. ( the 'must fix it' gene they all have) My girls are wonderful. Not that daily life is perfect by any stretch ( not possible with 16, 17 and 21 year old girls!) but I when I go down they bounce me back and we all have hug and a good laugh. I can already see that this 'thing' I must go through will bring our family closer. There!  the first good thing to come from this horrible path I must tread. The second good thing are my friends. My wonderful wonderful friends. I have so many that care so much. This has made me realise how many wonderful friends I have! How lucky I am, and how sure I am that with my family and my friends I will get though this.Very very concious there will be bad days which actually scares me. The thought of chemo scares me. Loving reading everyones posts. So much information offered. Hard to take it all in right now, but I know when the time comes help will be here which is very comforting. Learning that I might actually like to blog haha a turn around within a few days. Thanks to the wonderful ladies who have commented on my first blog with such encouragement. 

Far out lets just get this show on the road

    sorry for your not as planned news :(  If I can be half as positive as you I'll be a happy camper. I will follow your blog and I hope you'll follow mine and we can share the highs and the lows together.

    We CAN make it through you know. Whatever it throws at us.

    all the best,

    Sounds like you are surrounded with love and support - you can face anything. Hope today brings "good"cancer results and then you can prepare for what's ahead.We women are stronger than we think.I always say"give me 24hrs to get my head around it and I'll be ok".Ofcourse there are times when I need abit more time than that. I have fought the breast cancer battle twice- once in 2003 and again(same breast)in 2010. Inbetween that time I broke my ankle and had a few years of dodgy operations and disability. I call this period my 7 years of bad luck! I kept working throughout and being a mum ofcourse. I got through it (mentally intact,I think!)with love and support- that makes the all the difference. Thinking of you today -let us know how it goes.Actually,I see my surgeon today for my 2yr checkup.

    I've been through chemo twice; six months in 2002 and three months in 2011. In my case, my imagination of what chemo would be like was much worse than the reality. They have awesome drugs to help prevent nausea and there are lots of things you can do the make the whole journey a bit easier. Take things one day at a time and try not to take on too much. Good luck and best wishes xx Jane
