June 2nd
Sorry I didn’t write this earlier but my parents came over with dinner ( my favourite childhood meal) stew, mash and peas. And after consuming it drinking two glasses of rather lovely red wine I was pooped and ready for bed. One point I would like to make is as a kid it was a stew but now it’s a goulash, she’s gone all fancy on me!!!!! Whatever it’s called it’s still bloody tasty. Thanks Mum, Chef Annie, new title to add to the others.
This is what you are all here for really , yesterday June 1st was my appointment with the consultant Joanna Franks to get the results of what they removed last week.
The news was good.
In the lymph nodes taken, 3 form the right and 5 from the left there was no sign of cancer. Yeah! Thumbs up and relax.
The cancer in each boob was bigger than they thought, amass of 6cm in the right and 9cm in the left. Amazing really to think that what could be felt and seen was nothing like as much as they removed. (Again thanks god I found the lump in the right as so couldn’t feel it in the left, go cope a feel ladies)
What was in the left boob was close to the surface of the skin and although plenty of tissue was removed around it the plan is to have some radiotherapy in that area just to play it safe. Totally happy and agree with that decision. Got this far and not going to take any chances now.
The tape was removed from the seam lines ( best way to describe Scar lines / incisions) to expose the stitches and healing. All looking and healing well and everyone was happy. New tape put on, resulting in me feeling more comfortable. Still only 10 day since the Op which is amazing really how it is all going.
The last thing was I signed a consent form so that some samples can be sent to a Lab in America to do some genetic tests to see if I need some chemo as well. Again, whatever it takes to kill the bugger will be done. The battle is on and I am going to win. Having two older brothers taught me a lot about fighting battles, Thanks boys! Bring it on
Glorious Day

Darling Tor,
Just back from a half term break down in Devon, we’ve been staying in a shooting lodge in a remote valley, totally off grid, no electricity, no wifi, bliss! But when we drove out of the valley late afternoon yesterday was strangely comforting to have phone light up with a million messages. Brilliant news re the nodes, fingers crossed that you get positive news back from the States. Chemo can be crap but really just depends on how your body responds to it. Sending you heaps of love. Let me know when your Mum will let me over the threshold!
Love to you all and great hair Hopster,
