Well, alot has happened and I'm sorry for not posting sooner. I had a late night phone call from my surgeon last week to inform me of the good news. Apparently all of the lumps were benign apart from one which was cancerous, however it was so small, that they have removed everything they need to and i don't need any further treatment!! So no radioactive iodine for me!! I feel like the luckiest person in the world. They tell me yes i did have cancer, but it's all gone and that's it. It must be one of the quickest treatments ever!!
And as i said in the last post my patch has already come off. The giant waterproof one that goes over the top. It was peeling off, so i helped it off, and although it was so scary to see the line underneath, it is so small i can't believe they were able to complete the operation in such a tiny area!! Again, i am so lucky to have had the best surgeon in the country, in my opinion the world!! Yes, it is still hard to keep my head up all day, it aches and i feel like it's a dead weight on top of my neck, and yes i am out of breath all the time because the tablets aren't right yet, and yes the steri strips itch and i want to pull them off, but... that's it. I can't complain about anything else! I had a miserable day yesterday, i felt like an old pensioner, struggled to walk down the seafront and was tired watching a movie in the cinema, but today i can't stop smiling!! I'm OK! And that is all that matters at the end of the day. Yes i am on tablets for the rest of my life, but that is going to be one loooonnnngggg life full of exciting and happy moments with the amazing people i have around me.
My mum has been so amazing i can't put into words how grateful i am to her. She has been my best friend, the one to hold my hand and drag me out of bed on bad days. I know she has gone through it herself, but surely that's worse because she knows what i had to go through. And she just smiled the whole way through it. She really is the most amazing person in the world and i love her so much. Everyone should have someone like my mum to help them get through cancer, she definitely fights your corner!
