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.
I thought I would play around with my glass and attempt some letters in dichroic. I started with the letter 'K' as my daughters name is Kirsty. Well this one was a success and is now put away for my daughter for Christmas. I am so pleased with it and hoping she will like it.
Wow I am totally pleased with the way this little batch came out.
A few awesome pendants, stud earrings and maybe a couple of cuff links."doing the happy dance"
You should see a few on these in my 'crazy' glass store, radicalglass.
Most of these are going to be labeled up for my up and coming exhibition at Glenbrook, NSW, Australia. You can check out some more exhibitors at mountainmakers blog.
