Today, I ventured out and walked 3 miles to Far Cotton to visit Joanne, the lady I met at the hospital! Joanne's sister was also there and we all spoke non stop for over 3 hours!!!
We exchanged 'stories'... and it seems Joanne was also diagnosed with an 'Occult' Cancer. After what I had read about 'Occult' Cancer, I was surprised to meet someone with the same presentation.
Joanne was diagnosed in July and had chemotherapy before her operation, so she was able to tell me about what to expect... The little important things and tips that will help me keep one step a head and make a difference .... Such as; what to expect at chemo appointments, district nurse visits, the need to have a calendar, hair loss and wigs!!
I soon learnt that Joanne, my 'booby buddy' has the same positive outlook as I do and more significantly, because Joanne had the right breast removed and I had the left one removed we figured out that between us; we have a pair of 'perfect boobs'!!
Great to hear you had such an uplifting day Suzanne - 3 hours of non-stop girlie chat ; what better therapy can there be AND you got some Moonwalk training in ; wait while the rest of us catch up with you please !! Hang in there fabulous ladies ........ with such positive attitudes you CAN do this ! xxxxxxxxxxx
