So the Chemo will start within 2 weeks, best get as much shopping in as possible before that!! It's pretty good timing really, Race testing tomorrow, followed by the biggest meet of the season next weekend, then I'll be all set!!

A Funny

A very flat-chested girl finally decided she needed a bra and set out to the mall in search of one in Her size. She entered an upscale department store and approached the saleslady in lingerie, "Do you have a size 28AAAA bra?" The clerk haughtily replied in the negative, so she left the store and proceeded to another store where she is rebuffed in much the same manner. After a third try at another department store in the mall, she had become disgusted. Leaving the mall, she drove to K-Mart. Marching up to the sales clerk, she unbuttoned and threw open Her blouse, yelling, "Do you have anything for this?" The lady looked closely at Her and replied, "Have you tried Clearasil?"

Busty Blonde with Silicone too!!

Today I went a bit blonde! Literally!! Figured that if my hair is going to fall out in the very near future, I couldn’t really mess up with colour for very long! Bottled out of going full peroxide, but might save that for next week!

I am also in receipt of a nice silicone right-boob, its lurvlee and I can’t stop feeling it! Trouble is, its still bigger than my left one!!!

Good News!

Well the news is good here! The tumour (which measured 23mm) that was removed had a good lining of healthy matter around it and the lymph nodes that were removed were cancer free too! That means that the Chemo and Radiotherapy that I will have are just an added way of ensuring that we have got to every last bit of this little invader! I am feeling OK, and as expected (and warned by some friends having similar surgery), the lymph node removal has caused me much more discomfort than the actual mastectomy, my arm feels like there is no skin on it at the top, very much like the sensation I had with shingles a few years ago, I understand it to be the nerve endings finding new friends and paths etc.

......and THANKYOU very much EVERYONE for all your good wishes!!

So! Round 1 all done and dusted! I was back home Saturday and recuperating very well with much help from Lizzie, Simon and Jon, (couldn’t have done it without you Lizzie!) I am relieved of the tumour and just waiting for everything to heal before starting the Chemo sometime in June!

Still – the smallest false boob that the hospital had is still too big for me (Sod’s law the tumour was in my bigger one!!) So I am improvising with various chicken fillets, socks, sponges…………

I’m not allowed to lift anything (iron, vacuum cleaner, saucepan, kettle, shopping especially) and I have that in writing! But must each lots of chocolate, its good for my sugar levels!
