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.
Well I removed the big ugly wire wrapped pendant, saved the chain and popped the lovely moonstone briolette back on with a few strands of sterling silver chain. Then oxidised the silver to give it that dark, lustful look. I love it. I can honestly say this is one handmade necklace I am quite proud of.
Well I have signed up for the Lava Jewelry Spring 08 Beading Challenge . Got my beads just over a week ago and toyed with many ideas. Easter Friday was spent putting the beads together and I came up with this........
I am very pleased with the end result but not too sure about the photos. I have until 1st of May to enter the pics..........
