Re: How has your day been?
My day was spent in quiet contemplation, reflecting on how it shouldn't be "Me" and "I" and "my" there are occassions when it really SHOULD be all about "you"

Re: How has your day been?
Excellent day - good appointment with specialist, he has stopped my injection and increased the other immune suppressant tablet I am on and I dont have to go back until the new year, he is really pleased with how things are going and so am I.
I drove so far out of my comfort zone today it really challenged my fear of driving but I did it and feel quite proud of myself.
All in all I am feeling very grateful for my health and well, just everything really.

You've had a long spell of illness, thank God you're getting well again. Now focus on those people around you who really matter

Re: How has your day been?
Well about 3 weeks ago I was in the exact same postion as you were, unfortunately my results were not good, my arse hasn't hit a seat in the last few weeks, after multiple biopsy, lymph node and tumour, ct scans. Bone scans, heart scans, ECG and more bloods you could shake a vampire e at and I finally start 26 weeks of chemo on Monday, followed by an op and then radiotherapy, then 5 years of tablets! I have to say the stAff at Breast Screen WA are fantastic and I cannot praise them enough for the help and support they have given me and how thoroughly they dealt with me. Please ladies get your boobs checked! It's free after you turn 40 and it could save your life!
But that is one thoroughly extensive list of tests
First class care, as you say Breastscreen seem to be a very dedicated bunch.Wishing you the absolute best for a great recovery.
And echo what you have said, ladies get your boobs done! I will dread it every time I go now, but at least my hatred of the dentist is now in perspective

Re: How has your day been?
Cheers! Breast screen wa are fantastic and very thorough! It's all looking very positive ( the removal of a lymph node for biopsy shows no lymph involvement) what they thought were two tumours is now only 1, tumour markers in blood are low and though it's a grade 3 cancer they tell me that the higher grade responds better to chemo. My heart is in excellent nick, my bones are good ( even though I have osteo arthritis) and my auto immune disease also seems to be not bothering me at the minute. It's been hellish at times ( the worst part being injected with radioactive isotope in my boob, it might sting a bit they said, that was an understatement and they don't do it in a sound proof room for no reason!) but a lot of good has come out of it, the kindness of people around me has been unbelievable. My day today has turned out well because I've heard that I've been accepted for a clinical trial with my chemo, which I start on Monday, I will be trying out Abraxin, which they hope will mean my body is more accepting of the chemo. So from being in the depths of dispair and checking on. Y life insurance I'm on top and know that it's looking good for a positve outcome, just a tough year ahead to get there!

NB what put in perspective for me was news that a 17 yr old at our school has terminal cancer, she has 6 months to live, it's not bloody fair she's a lovely kid. I'm not saying I don't have my wobbly days ( and will have more once chemo starts) but there have been so many positives, I'm very lucky.

Re: How has your day been?
Difficult to post after the sad situation above.... however in the vein of life goes on.
Weekend starts here for me at least.... Having my first drinks of the weekend, then off to my mates place, to meet up with some fellow football fans, then into the City Center to watch proper football
Got a leg of goat marinating tandoori style in the fridge at present, going to give it a slow roast in the webber, or even over the rotassarie tomorrow... another reason for a few beers and friends over... Combined with some A league football on the TV 
.
Bit cool in Melbourne though.

I bought a second hand Alice Cooper CD today and played it loud in the car all the way home.

Re: How has your day been?
I had a happy afternoon playing with 5 Boxer puppies that are five weeks old - they were beyond cute. I want one. Having said that, it would inevitably become DestructoPup Mk II - so it's best that we don't get another one. That and the fact that my friend said we'd be homeless if we came home with another dog - d'oh!

Re: How has your day been?
Just got home from a MOST EXCELLENT weekend camping with mates... And HIM and Mumbles....
Feel exhausted, but think that's because I am Totally chillaxed... I could sleep for a week
If I had been allowed to take annual leave this week... Which I'm not...even though I haven't had any for a YEAR and have actually begged for it....
I was told yes, around pt visits..... But now it's ...ok you don't have any patient visits...but we DO have submissions.... And document creation that needs to be done.... And we need to hit the ground running.
I am not waving. I am drowning
