Well I have celebrated my 8yr milestone.. this year come July I will celebrate my 9yr milestone. 9YEARS wow, still seems like yesterday.
I am still waiting patiently for my reconstructive surgery, better late than never!
The public waiting system sure does have its setbacks, but I cannot justify spending $13,000 ++ on reconstructive surgery. I was told that it would definately happen last year, well that wasnt the case. So where I am at is, looking at getting confirmation on a date next week, surgery should go ahead early march. :)
This cannot happen soon enough I am definately ready for the next chapter of my journey. I had a mishap last week and accidently put my prosethis through the wash in my bathers, and needless to say it exploded in the wash, so i had goo oozing out everywhere lol. Luckily for me this was my origninal prosethis of 8plus years, so it has definately served its purpose.
My daughter Chloe will turn 4this year and is already asking about boobies, "mummy i got boobies you have boobies to" I dont quite think she has worked out mum has one boob, though she knows that one of mummies boobies is in her bra lol, such innocence.
The past few months have been rather weird, I can honestly say i am begining to get some normality in my life, i dont think about breast cancer as much these days. Most likely due to the fact I have made friends with the most amazing inspirational woman that you could ever meet, all the Pink Hope girls are amazing.
I am still looking forward to hearing "congradulations you have made your 10yr milestone" one that sadly my mother never got to hear.
And the countdown continues to my surgery date...
