Mandy Harvey aka Beadsme: New Additions To The Fish Tank

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.

New Additions To The Fish Tank

My husband went to feed this fish tonight and noticed that we had quite a few additions. Mum Krebensis seems to be keeping watch over them and Dad is nearby. How cute is this?
We are hoping that none of the other fish eat the babies.

I wish I could get a better photo of them. May be better when they are a bit bigger.
You may be able to see them better on my Flickr account http://www.flickr.com/photos/beadsme/
