@Sister I have completed treatment and am now in the "monitoring" stage. Me being me I probably would have pushed your replacement off the chair and reclaimed it.
A week ago was my first 12 month scans. And so the long journey(2,300 km) to Perth and back was once again the highlight of that week. That's a highlight!?!
I had a cold heart stopping moment when the mammogram operator said that the doctor wanted magnified views of Miss Lefty Pinky.
I had a "here we go again" thought when an ultrasound was required and I had a teary moment when the sonographer called in the head of radiology for a second ultrasound. The only good thing about it all was that the good folk at Fiona Stanley Hospital did the scans and results all in one day because of the distance we had travelled. No anxious waiting.
All I could think of at the time was "bugger there goes the Plan B conference and Field of Women in Melbourne". (Can't wait @kmakm ). Just like last year when I had a trip to New Zealand which had to be cancelled.
However at this stage areas of concern are to be "monitored" with my next visit in 6 months. So Melbourne in August here I come. That's the plan.
@kmakm yep I plod. I used to be someone who literally skipped and ran through my day, now I plod. When people ask me how I am I just say "I am doing well". After all that's what you are expected to say.
Breast cancer certainly stomped all over my "joie de vivre". Bugger it.
