M.I.A.

Good Morning Campers. Sorry I have been M.I.A. I have been in such a mopey mood I just didn't have anything nice to say and so like the saying goes..if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all....maybe it's PMS.. maybe it's the fact that I am missing hubby, maybe it's because my best friend in the whole world sent me this...

Hi Guys,

Thought you might like an update, and please excuse the email, but its the quickest way to spread the news. Please pass the info on to anyone who might be interested.

My appointment was yesterday. The good news is that the cancer has not spread to the lymph nodes and so is contained in the breast.  The not-so-good news is that they have to go in again to take some more out (this is not unusual), and that will be followed by c.5 mths of chemo and c.5 wks of radiotherapy. But hey, even that is okay, cos it's only surgery and I recovered well last time, and I still have 'ample' that they can take
from..... LOL !!! You gotta laugh about it!!!

So the op is next Thursday 31st, and then I think the chemo will start about 2 wks after that.   I am still feeling really well and positive, it helps to have good friends and family around keeping me in good spirits.  I'm gonna
enjoy the next week or so, feeling as well as I do, before the next stage starts.  I will try and email you or text after the op.

Mum or Mike (my nurses !!!) are always here so you can always phone the landline for news, hey I might even get off my arse and answer the phone myself sometime !!!

Bless her heart she is trying to sound cheerful and keep upbeat but I know she is scared to death and I just wish I could be there for her and help out. Prayers and good thoughts would be appreciated...Di is such a good person she is one of those people who just lights up a room when she walks in it. Her spirit is amazing. She is selfless in her ways..always putting others first..even now her biggest concern is for her partner Mike and her Mum. It just hurts me so deeply that she has to go through this..sometimes life just isn't fair... but Di has told me we should not question God and that he never gives us more than we can bare but I am struggling with that...

Okay enough of all that..

Saturday..it's raining..it has been raining for 2 days now and it has put me in the cozy, here comes fall mood.. yesterday I went for a little retail therapy  ;-).. to one of my fav. stores..Pier 1..I was a little disappointed... they have changed there style and it's all dark wood and black and white and steel... not my thing..but I did manage to spend $180 anyway!! Mostly on candles and some scented reeds and sprays and a couple of ceramic Pumpkins and Gourds.....my house smells delish right now!! Looks very cozy with the candles lit and the rain outside...

I heard from the hubby... he is fine... he is going sight seeing today.. he has been busy with all the Chief Selectee stuff this week so is ready for a little R and R... we are 14 weeks away from him coming home...can you say countdown?? Once it gets to about 8 weeks then we can get really excited and I will go into panic mode for all the things I said I would get done while he was gone and didn't..ha!

Well that's all from me this morning..I am playing catch up on my alerts...sorry I haven't been commenting much... hope everyone has a great weekend...
