Biopsy done 'n dusted!

Well I survived the biopsy on 26th October! Specimens were taken from the slightly enlarged lymph nodes inbetween my lungs and apparently the procedure went well. I am left with bruising, soreness and no doubt a scar across my neck. The nurses call it the "cut throat procedure"...nice one...thanks for that! LOL! Now I am waiting patiently, again, for the results and a treatment plan. They are due on Tuesday 1st November. I was told to stop the Tamoxifen (as it's obviously not working) and I very obligingly threw it in the bin the other day...GEEZ that felt good!

So now, I am on no treatment at all...and I just sit and wait. The countdown is on until Tuesday, when my life will take another turn...hopefully there will be no more bad news (other than the expected secondary cancer diagnosis) and I can get on with whooping this cancer's arse!

The worst part is the waiting.........

    I know it is easier said than done  but you will be alright regardless of the results so stay strong. You do have to wonder if the medicines  they give us do any thing at all. I think Tonya was on tamoxifen when she got her second bout of cancer.

    Good luck with the results and when things get tough and you don't think you can see that light at the end of the tunnel then don't give up and keep walking because you will reach it .  (heard that on Home and away last night and it made me cry)

    Seriously,  all the best on Tuesday, cheers Joxx
