The Big C .... Cancer (Breast)

I thought I would add some details to my blog for those that are suffering or have suffered from breast cancer.
I was diagnosed in Sept 2000.
Underwent a lumpectomy, following by chemo and radiothereapy. They also removed some lymph nodes to check to see if it had spread. Luckily it hadn't.
I was told that I was stage 1 (very early stage) and grade 3 (nasty).
Chemo - I had 6 sessions of chemo usinf FEC (Fluorouracil also known as 5FU), (Epirubicin), (Cyclophosphamide). I cannot say chemo was nice. The first 3 sessions were ok just a little bit of sickness but after that bad sickness, severe tiredness, no energy, bleeding and sore gums, bladder problems.
Radiotherapy - Didn't find that this was a problem at all. Have a couple of dot tattoos left on my chest area. At this time I was still tired from the chemo so not really sure if radio made it worse.
Here I am a survivor.
If you want to ask any questions please contact me and I will do my best to give you a truthful answer.

The Baby Of The Family

Seeing our little one trying to sleep the other night had us in fits of laughter. He was all over the place.

First this way.

Then this way.

And this way. This was the funniest.

He is also one of those dogs that gets inside the covers when you have a lie in and curls up either between yourlegs so you can't move, or best, curls up round your tummy like a little hot water bottle.

TheresaJ said...: These photos are hysterical! What an absolute cutie! I've got a hot water bottle and/or leg warmer as well, but she's much smaller -- more the size of an actual hot water bottle. :); 9 August 2008 at 18:59
