Just popping in to update you all. I'm sorry I'm unable to reply to messages/emails/comments etc right now, I'm just not up to it.

I had surgery on Wednesday. It was meant to be day surgery only, but the ended up keeping me in overnight. I'm in more pain again of course, which is starting to make me angry because I'm sick of this pain/over

I'm so sorry for everything you and your family are going thru.
I don't even really know what to say....I'm thinking about your parents....to have two of their kids with cancer.

What a nightmare for you all.

Thinking of you,
Laura

Thank you so much Laura :-) And I have been wanting to thank you personally for the prezzy you sent me. It was a lovely, unexpected surprise! Everyone (meaning my Mum, Dad and Aunty Anne) got a giggle over the 'Crabby Sisters Club' goodies. And the mug has come in really handy as 'my' mug when I'm staying at my parents :-)

Big hugs to you (and kisses to your furbabies).

It's so good to hear from you. You are on my mind all the time. I'm sending you good thoughts all day and all night.

I'm so glad you like the Crabby Sister stuff. I had told my sister Ann I wanted to buy one of her t-shirts to send to you and when I told her what you were going thru she GAVE me the mug and the tote bag (and refused to take my money for it even when I handed it to her!) You are in her thoughts too. :o)

Sabrina sends you a kiss.

As Rachel, my Breast Care Nurse, said ... statistics are retrospective. And as I said to Rachel ... I might already by one of the 50% already totally cured by surgery. Although, I do like to remain practical ... I HAVE to remain realistic, and the realism is that I am at the highest risk of this returning. Because of the size, the type, the lymph node involvement, and other things besides. But ... people have beaten the odds before and, God willing (if there is a God), I will too.

So bizarre that my father thinks there is a major huge family karmic thing in all of this. We'll never know because Teh Universe is never going to answer us.

Thank you so much Deb.

I love you girls so much. I really, really wish we could all just gather together, eat, drink, talk forever and laugh and snort uproariously. How awesome would that be? The distance between us all sucks.

I think that discussion was hard on my mother, but I felt so much better getting it all out in the open.

Natalie and I are actually going to do a "Look Good Feel Better" workshop together ... a two hour workshop on makeup/hats/wigs/scarves etc for women with cancer. The REAL bonus is all the free makeup and cosmetics you get. My Breast Care Nurse enrolled me in it, and I told Natalie of it and said it might be nice if we did it together, so she called HER support worker and we're both booked in now. I think it will be a good thing to share.
