Bumpy Road

My run of bad luck started back in 2003 with the first bout of breast cancer. Once back on my perch we decided to plan for a holiday to Canada and usa. Well one week before we leave I go and break my ankle slipping on the bath mat.Needless to say we didn't go.Was in a boot for 4weeks before dr decides to operate-got pin and plated-shear agony,can't walk without crutches for 5mths! dr put wrong pin in!-more surgery to take it all out.-accidentally leaves a pin behind-pain for 8mths so have ct scan to find offending pin-change doctor! More surgery to have pin out and clean mess up from 1st doctor! This went on over 2yrs.Somewhere in the middle we got to have that Canada trip which was good but I had alot of pain.Anyway,just started to improve anklewise when I got breast cancer back again last May. The rest of 2010 was a right off with all the treatment.I managed to keep working part time all through these crappy years. I know just how you feel Josie-it's like you just come up for air and then you get pushed back under water.How sad for you to lose both parents.I lost my dad to cancer 2 yrs before I got my first cancer.I wonder sometimes if stress and holding in grief can make you prone to getting cancer.Josie once you get through your treatment it will be like a big black cloud lifting and you can plan that trip. I've often wondered why me as well.But then I feel so lucky that I've survived it twice.I'm glad you and your daughter are communicating-you need family harmony to get through these hard months. Yes,the positive about losing your appetite is weight loss.I dropped 2kilos with round 1 chemo. But I put it back and more some on Tamoxifen!
