Hi Lee

Just arrived back home again from Brisbane.  Have been away for 11 days.  Hubby back to GP tomorrow and then we will know if he will be off work  for a couple of months or not.  If he is then he will come with me to Brisbane for my radiation.  I start on 14th Feb - 25-28 sessions.  Then back home again to start chemo.  I hope I come through the radiation well so that I can start the chemo as soon as I get home - end of March.  Realistically though I reckon it won't be until mid April that I start chemo.That should take me to early Sept for a finish date.  I am to have 6 sessions of chemo.  The medical oncologist said it is my last chance to "get it good" so that's what we hope to achieve.  It really is different second time around and of course mine is an unusual case - nothing for the specialist to gauge on.  Very unusual to have BC back in the lymph node near the previous site.  No one wants to say if it is another primary or if it is secondary.   I am going with the Radiation Oncologist (cause I like him -so chilled) who says that is "a return of BC in the axilliary" - not secondary cancer.  It was difficult for me to "know that I had secondary BC".  My daughter took some photos yesterday of me with my little granddaughter at a Thomas and Friends train museum at Ipswich so I will download a new pic.  I bought a short style wig in Brisbane the other day.  I love it - it is a shorter version and colour to my new "do".  Better get some "shut eye" in my own bed....XLeonie
