One Year
Well, time really does fly. It is a year today that I went into hospital for my lumpectomy operation, & it is also 14 months since I was diagnosed with breast cancer, & later in December was told that I have secondary cancer in my spine. It has been 14 months that started with a very scary feeling & has taken me through different mood swings, mixed emotions & thoughts. My life, & I should really say Bob's life as well, revolves around my 4-weekly visits to Glan Clwyd Hospital. When planning things to do we always have to check if it is hospital week. A few days prior to the visits I have to have a blood test so that it can be monitored as to how I am responding to the various drugs. The main issue has seemed to be with my white blood cell count. - immune system. It has sometimes been quite low & when it is I cannot have my medication for the next 4-week session. This is the time when our plans can be turned upside down & have to be changed...
