Since I left home yesterday the last thing Wayne said to me was "Remember, you are having this treatment to give you life".
As I sat in the radiation waiting room - this was my view...stark, non inviting (though who would want to be invited) and sterile. The only peep of colour is as shown.
And here is where they are hopefully giving my life back.
Today I got two phone calls: one from a colleague with a husband and three wee children, the other from a close friend (I am second mother to her daughter and she cared for Luke while I worked). They have both been diagnosed with breast cancer. I am absolutely gutted for them both. Cancer is just so random. These are two people who watch what they eat, fit, healthy, good people...
One is waiting for chemo before the op, the other final biopsy of lymph nodes.
If anything constructive has come out of my diagnosis and blogs, it is these two women being open to communication and reading just one person's journey, that they have become aware of their own bodies and what it is doing. Hopefully they will have a good outcome.
I can see that I am going to be needed for a bit longer yet in some capacity or another in helping these two on their journey.
On a brighter note, am at the Cancer lodge and having a laugh. We are all in the same boat so we can talk about what ails is quite openly and frankly. Highly entertaining so far.
