PEELING AN ONION........

This blog was set up to be a kind of diary to share with those I love and some things will be happy and some will be sad. Today is crap!!!!! I never expected this journey to be an easy one. We are just back from another hospital appointment. It wasn't good news. My Macmillan Breast nurse said it will be like peeling an onion. Everytime I go I will peel off another layer.
As Mr Cheese said it can really make you cry...........

Last week I had the tumor removed and all of my lymph nodes. Today I got the results. They removed 20 lymph nodes and found cancer in 2. The tumor has been graded as an aggressive high grade cancer. I now have to go back in for more surgery to remove more tissue as they have found cancer in the surrounding area. It's a long long road to recovery. I'm facing 18 weeks of chemo then radiotherapy. Keep me sane dear chums. What am I going to look like? Oh lordy!

Maybe tomorrow will be a good day! Might need retail therapy and lots of cake x
