The start of my journey

Thanks Jo.

I only came across this website yesterday but it has overwhelmed the amount of love emanating from the blogs.

Reading other peoples' stories is truly an inspiration and has helped me from falling into that pit of despair.

As you can see from the subject, I have named my unwanted visitor Basil. Not that Basil is a bad name, It just came to me that is what my cancer is called. It should make it easier to say goodbye to him next year.

I didn't have much choice in when I got the diagnosis. A suspicious area was found on mammogram and a vaccuum core biopsy was organised for the next day. Report through the day after and although I was told I didn't get to speak to my GP until Friday. I am always of the mind to know what is happening. Basically I am nosey and want to know. I even wanted to watch my biopsy and was a bit put out I couldn't see. I don't think  the Doc has had anyone wanting to see the procedure before.

The time between now and when I get to see a specialist is a time for reflection for me and will pass quick enough

I have just spent Christmas lunch out with a friend and her extended family. A nice break. I am just waiting until my family wakes up (UK and US)

Merry christmas to you and your family.

Keep well
