'I am so lucky'

Someone stabbed me in the nipple with a hot needle last night! Or at least that is what I thought when I woke mid endone induced slumber to instant pain. Perhaps it was just my body healing in some odd nasty nerve ending way. 

How strange life has become in the last month. Somehow I did expect to be recalled for a second mammogram. I didn't expect biopsies or to be told I have cancer  I certainly didn't imagine having surgery and here I am waiting waiting waiting ... 

I'm watching the world from a distance. Or so it feels. Nothing is quite the same anymore.  Yet I'm strangly relaxed and enjoying treating myself kindly. 

Im so thankful for my family and friends. They are hearing me and the love I'm receiving is an incredible hug. Smiling

Thankyou xox JG

  • hi ladies. Such a long day today. Not sure I'm making the the right decision or not. I'm going to change from tamoxifen to arimidex, or at least trial it for a few months. I've found in the last few months tamoxifen side effects are increasing dramatically ie: hot flushes, bone/ joint pain, moods. Hoping the change will suit me better. Has anyone else done this?
