I lay in bed awake at night...is this chemo working? Is the Herceptin working? Are the tumours shrinking? ...Stable? Is this cancer spreading?...to my brain? bones? liver? skin?...Or has the whole lo...
I can fully understand how scared you must get at times.I was scared when my cancer came back and that was in the same breast.I would have been beside myself if the body scans had picked it up elsewhere.Lately my hip has been aching and I'm putting it down to all the physical work I've been doing in this new house.But can't help thinking down the cancer road.Yes,you are wise not to go for scans before Christmas.I've learnt my lesson cos I made the mistake of having a mammogram just before a cruise/holiday.Go enjoy yourself and have the core biopsy when you get back they said -kinda took the edge off my enjoyment.I think we lose confidence in our bodies.I hate the fact that I have no idea what might be lurking in me. Sounds like you are doing everything you can Celeste and it's good that it was picked up early rather than too late. Have a break from cancer and enjoy Christmas with your daughter.Like Leonie and Jane,I've started living more for the moment.But I understand that it's abit easier for us to dance in the rain.I pray for you and Amanda every day- hope the scans will swing in your favour.
