Really Pleased My Blog helps Others.

Some people have said my blog helps them get through things and helps them understand cancer and it's problems a little better. I'm very pleased to hear that I can be of some little help. I found it very hard going through cancer and not knowing much of what was happening to me. I also got help from some of my Twitter friends. If I didn't know something I would ask a question and someone would answer for me. I read books and books of information about cancer. If you do have any questions or need help then I'm here for you.

Breast Reconstruction Hospital Stay.

I went into hospital to have my breast reconstruction. It wasn't what I expected at all. When I came out of surgery I was in no pain at all they gave me some good strong pain killers.I expected the reconstruction to look different from how it turned out. Was I pleased with the result? I was very pleased the surgeon done an amazing job and I'm very happy. After a week of been in hospital I got an infection in my foot where the needle had been. I was ready to leave apart from that and could not wait to come home as a new person. There was I looking forward to going home only to wake up at 5am in the morning to a text to say that the house was on fire the night before with my 3 children in there. They all got out in time thank god. The children were shook up, upset and I felt like the fire should have happened when I was there not in hospital. I got out of hospital and am staying with my cousin Andrew while we find a new home. Everyone was saying "how unlucky is that girl" and I have to say I agree with that statement. If anything we might be unlucky but we are a strong family who have been through so much in the last 2 years and we do get through bad times.

My Uncle Johnny.

My uncle Johnny passed away after a long battle with cancer. So many of our family have died of cancer. I was one of the lucky ones to survive. He was also my god father. Always telling jokes and making people laugh. He painted me a picture that I will always keep. No more pain he will be with the angels in peace now. R.I.P.

Reconstruction Operation Cancelled.

Today I was supposed to be going into hospital but they called and told me my operation was cancelled until next week or maybe a few weeks. I had everything ready for the operation and the kids taken care of and I'm really not happy. They could have given a bit of notice before the day I was supposed to go in. Had I have cancelled last minute I would have been struck of the waiting list!

I Wonder What's Going On.

Seems ever since I had surgery I've been finding lumps in different places. They have all been checked and cleared. Now I have 2 more lumps in my head to be checked. I'm not sure if that is from having the nodes removed from under my arm and the fluid is just getting stuck on my left side or if it is something different. Biopsys are not nice and I have had loads of them already. Does it ever actually end or do I have to keep stressing about finding lumps.
