Three and a half years on...

 Hello, all !

Three and a half years on, and things are looking relatively good. I hope I am within safe limits, it is always a worry that something will come back and that things will start again...I am still on tamoxifen, and recently, I had a nasty fall that broke my elbow and dislocated my knee, so I was out of action for months....I am better now and trying to get some semblance of normality back into my life.

The last visit to the Oncologist was a successful one- had a run-in with the radiographer doing my mammogram, that is until she discovered that I was a colleague and then her attitude changed dramatically...I hate that- but the rest went well. I had hopes that I would be stopping the Tamoxifen and starting the Femara, but still too menopausal for that.. Rats... I prefer osteoporosis to being bloated!

Nothing more for now- more next time!

Hello, all!

it's getting to evening here, it's been a long but easy day for me, Just getting hubby ready for his night shift...suppertime in ten minutes, getting washing out, finishing the laundry, etc....all the very mundane tasks that  I used to do in the blink of an eye but now need time and effort...God is good...I am cancer-free...that is the main thing...but I wish I did't tire so easily these days...I just want to be able to plod along doing my thing without hurting or having to stop every 5 minutes,free, but a steep one at times...

OK, I am off to eat, I will write more later!

Good evening, all....

Has been a quiet day here...got some stuff done, not as much as I wanted to though...life after breast cancer is good, but there are certain limitations that I hadn't bargained for...certainly  the arm on the affected side is hurting and swells up with the least effort placed upon it...I wish i could do all that I did before this...I am perhaps asking too much, after all, I am still alive and in good shape...I am very thankful for that.  The best medicine for cancer for me is a positive attitude...I tried hard , and in the end, I decided that the only way to survive was not to take the illness to heart..just go in one end and come out the other...there is no turning back and no side streets to slip down...one must go on straight ahead until the end.

Not much else to say tonight...will write more tomorrow .
