This time last year...

Today is the anniversary of my mastectomy. So, I have spent all afternoon in the pub with 3 of my friends I certainly feel a lot better now than I did a year ago! I left work at 2:30pm, which happened to be the time of my operation last year. How odd (it was definitely luck not judgement!).

Funeral

The funeral was today. I cried lots (especially at the bit where the vicar spoke about her getting cancer). I had a bit of a dark moment where I wondered how many of the people in the church would end up being at my funeral. Moments like that just make you think don't they...

Sad day

A sad day today. My mum phoned me earlier to tell me my Aunt died this morning. I'm afraid it is another death due to f&*!in cancer (not breast). I'm so sad, and also so angry that this horrible disease has yet again affected my family. She's been having treatment on and off for about 4 years, and she was one of the first people to phone me when I was diagnosed and she was so supportive. We've had many a "laugh" about the "joys" of chemo...

It's a cruel world.

Mammogram - the results

The dreaded brown envelope arrived this morning (bit quicker than 4 weeks!) and it says "I am please to inform you there is no abnormality to be seen".

Phew!

I'm so relieved.
