pain in the...

thanks everyone for your kind words and support. I honestly did not think I would be back in this situation again but I will be looking into support groups etc. I am from Auckland NZ but I am also an australian citizen have been for 1 month and I am proud to be a part of this country. Half of me is always going to be back in NZ where my brothers and sisters and their families are. I guess I was thinking that by going home I know I'll have a great support team but my hubby works here, my friends are here too plus there truly is a fantastic support group for people who provide all sorts of medical challenges like BCNA, like RPH and many more. Today i'm up and took my dog for a walk with my hubby. He took a few more days off from work which really helps and I've started writing in my diary. I've halved my Tamoxifen because I can; still taking the painkillers for my stress fractures, though i'm beginning to wonder if the pain in my ribs is due to the radiation but i won't know that until I see my radiation oncologist next month; and I have managed to eat some fruit and now my bowels are clear which is a blessing.  I'm absolutely sure many of you can relate to what I'm saying yes? yeah! Well got go, but will be back soon. Take care, kia kaha which means stay strong and keep smiling.
