HELL YEH

Today I have been to see my surgeon as a follow up after my mastectomy, this appointment is so they can check my scar is healing and give me e results of the test that would have been done one my breast had been taken off on the tumours


So September 2012 I was diagnosed as having two tumours 14cm apart and one measuring 14mm and the other 9 mm

Well today 12th of April 2013 I have been given THE ALL CLEAR the tumours that were taken have already been killed by the chemo and all they had left was scar tissue there were no cancer cells left

Massive smile on my face

So all that feeling of being ill was well worth it, as I have responded to the chemo so well I will not need any further treatment like radiotherapy.

I should be over the moon but me and mike can't quite take it in , over the past 8 months my life has been consumed by cancer , even before if I class my mum in that and now I'm cancer free , ok I have lost my hair and a boob but that has not really fazed me , i have a left arm that i now will have to treat like glass for the rest of my life but for now I just have to get my head around having my life back , which may be a bit harder than you think as I now have no security blanket of the regular treatments , I will get a review every 6 months with the christie and again with Leighton, I will also be looking in to reconstruction in the near future and my possibilities are far greater now I do not have to have radiotherapy,

I will also need to get my head around going back to work , which I really want to do but it's still a massive step

I'm going to have hydrotherapy for my arm movement and I will be starting a group session about moving forward,

But for now and today I will have a little celebration with a big fat pizza and some ice cream ( I will look in to losing my chemo weight one my chest has healed better )

In July I have signed Olivia and I up for the race for life in Manchester Heaton park so I will be hassling you for sponsorship and if you want to join me please feel free.

I AM NOW A SURVIVOR XX oh and my hair is growing back lol
