hi every one back again.the last few weeks have been very hard. i ended up in hospital again after my last chemo even though i had five days of the injections my white cell count dropped & i was neutropenic again so five days in hospital on iv antibiotics.
How life can change in such a short time!
I was diagnosed with breast cancer on 11th Sept 2008 and I am now at home recovering from the op.
Up until now I have tried to remain positive and focused... apart from the first few days following being diagnosed.... I fell apart!
Hi
I am new to the site and have never written a blog before so hear goes.
In February 2008, when I was at my lowest ebb, I received an invitation to attend a summer school/conference in August and something inside me 'clicked' - I need a goal, I needed something to look forward to and I decided this was it and I booked my place. There were times along the way when I thought I would never make it but it gave me a focus.
GOOD NEWS - There is an alternative to normal spray or wipe on insect repellents. I had 18 out of 20 lymph nodes removed from under my arm after breast cancer surgery and the medics were/are emphasizing the need for extra care needed for my skin in the upper left quadrant of my body because of the risk of infection.
Ramblings
I had mysecond taxotare nearly 3 weeks ago and have never felt so ill, before that i really enjoyed going into the chat room and chatting to everyone but i have felt so bad i havnt wanted to as i didnt want to bore everyone with my moaning. I just need to talk or write how i feel.
Bit bored now of the drain and the tube dripping. Exercises seem to be getting harder not easier. Wonder if I have just spent the past week with the aneasthetic still whizzing round my body, arm, arm pit and most of all my general self. Suddenly today one week on broke down and cried because I couldn't fix my bandage myself.
