another year down!

Hello to all my pink comrades...yesterday marked 2 years since original diagnosis (mammogram). At the time we thought "ok, cut the crook boob off, get onto this chemo thing and return to normal life in a few months" However, a further 6 weeks down the trail and we discover secondaries in the lungs :( No return to normal life-we have a new normal.

This year we endured a further spread to the brain, back in June. Once again "lets get onto this quick & do what we have to do" Success with shrinkage of the tumor masses and altho still on oral chemo pills my hair is slowly grawing (quite patchy tho)

We have just enjoyed a fabulous family holiday to the west for just on a month, planning the next one for next year-coz i will still be here!

I want to wish everyone a happy christmas with their families and friends, enjoy every minute!

    hi Samantha,

    Thankyou for the xmas wishes and I too am planning a trip next year to the mainland. ( go in our winter ! )

    You and your family have been through a lot these last two years. I am amazed at your positive approach and dealing with what comes your way.

    I hope you go on that trip in 2012 also.

    love Kathy.

    Yes another milestone for you.  Congrats.  It is nearly 12 months since my second diagnosis,   I am due to see my specialist on Wednesday.  I am so glad to have the year behind me - onwards and upwards to us all.  Enjoy your Xmas festivities with your family - I am looking forward to being with my family - it is so good being with little ones on Xmas day.  Happy season to you and yours.
