Somewhere for me to vent... On the 1st April 2010 I was diagnosed with breast cancer... April 2013 a bone scan confirmed bone mets (advanced breast cancer). So now facing a future shorter than I had planned. Fighting the good fight, and enjoying each day I have.

October
October for me is: birthdays, anniversary, springtime, daylight savings and Breast Cancer Awareness month.
I am sure most of you are aware that you need to check your boobies... Man bobbies too...every month and get any CHANGES checked. This doesn't just mean lumps, but any changes.... I didn't have any lumps, I thought it was just hormonal swelling and a blocked milk duct after having breast fed 3 children...it wasn't... It was cancer, and in 2010 I lost one of the girls. It had also spread to my lymph nodes. As well as DCIS I had 7 invasive tumours which did not even show up on the mammogram, ultrasound and stereo core biopsy. I did everything I was supposed to do... 6 months of chemo and over 30 doses of radiation to try and make sure I got rid of the sucker.
4 years ago I was bald and the chemo made me even fatter... Today I am living each day...you only get one chance at this, make each day count.
