OMG1 Not again round 3 coming up!
Well as usual I am here again whinging. But at least I know you girls are always here when I need someone to listen to my scary thoughts.
After finishing twelve months of treatment from June 2018 to last day 30/7/2019 of chemo, rads, & Trastuzumab I thought it was all behind me. I have been free for 7 months. YAY!
I had appointment to see surgeon for regular final late inspection on 4th February. Tuesday. Appointment 3.30pm got in 5pm as usual at PA Brisbane(not there fault so many patients) I presented with my angry breast all covered in a red rash! It had been there since I awoke at 6,30am that morning only.
Well short story my in & out quick plans were thrown out the door. As I was seen by a junior & I had expressed concern on my angry red breast she thought it might have been from a new soap, deodorant etc?
HELLO! I said no rash anywhere else on my other lily white breast or body? So in came two surgeons checking out my angry red boob. We need to do a skin biopsy right now! To rule out that the cancer has not spread to my breast skin?
Hell no it can't be I am on another roller coaster now.
Here I go on Dr Google could it be IBC god I hope not.
Well girls you know how it goes I am worried as this is my third diagnosis now. First in 2014 second 2018 now what? I am not trying for the highest time of diagnosis here I am just trying to stay alive.
GOOD NEWS! Since my 2018 diagnosis & 12 months treatment I have become a great grandma a beautiful grandson, "Ezra" now 7 months old. My grandson is about to give me my 2nd great grandson due today! but no signs of labour just yet. SO I AM GRATEFUL for all the Drs, Nurses, hospital staff & family & you wonderful people here. Keep on keeping on lovely ladies thinking of you all. Regards Dawn
PS My twin sister & I had our 72nd birthday 9th January we feel blessed.
