Try again..my first attempt disappeared into cyber space:)Well mostly good news but just another step in the process which is not what I had planned but starting to realise that I really have no con...
I had a mastectomy and axillary dissection which was all sent to pathology and the 8/25 was discovered. Huge shock as I found the lump in my right breast myself after having a mishap with my zoom lens. It wasn't tight enough on my monopod and as I was trying to get out of the car it swung around (1.5 kilo) and hit my right breast. It hurt so much and at that moment I thought "I hope this hasn't done real damage". Within weeks I had a huge lump in my breast and then under my arm.
I am relieved on two fronts - that the margins were clear and that all body scans came back clear. The doctors while I was in hospital told me I would have have both chemo and radiation to "mop up" any microscopic cells in my blood stream.
As much as I loved work I, at least from yesterday I am quite enjoying being home and keeping the house the way I want it to be. Not doing too much mind you, but at least I can keep it tidy and can prepare the dinner. My husband usually cooks but now that I am not as fatigued I am getting in there and to give him a break. It will be soon enough that I will be back on the lounge again being waited on which I struggle with.
Enjoy your long weekend Wendy.
