Another Milestone Reached

I had good news yesterday, I got the results from my first mammogram since my cancer operation. All clear. :) Makes me feel much more positive and hopeful for the future. Last year had been a roller-coaster for me. Turned 50 in the January. Diagnosed with moderate Emphysema in March. Joined BLF as Psorias in April, where I met some really good friends. My marriage completely broke down, and then, at the end of summer, just as I was feeling better about the emphysema diagnosis, I got the breast cancer results, followed by surgery and radiotherapy. Luckily for me, through BLF, I met Azaard (Iamnins), who has been my rock. My life certainly changed for the better, when I moved from Essex to Lancashire to be with him, despite any health issues the year threw at me, I am happier now than I have been for a very very long time.

Such good news! Like you I was diagnosed with breast cancer eighteen years ago, had a lumpectomy and lymph gland removal and radio therapy and am still going strong. I developed a melanoma on my ankle six months later but after removal and 6 monthly follow ups I got the all clear. Then about the same time I was diagnosed with emphysema but managed to continue working until 4 years ago when, at 67, I was made redundant. Since then I have become very severe stage 4 and am on oxygen 15/24, but for the last 2 years I have remained almost the same. I still enjoy life, get out and about most days and go on holiday. I have emphysema, it doesn't have me. Have a good life, let it continue as it is now and keep smiling.

I know multiple health issues can be a terrible weight first hand. I also fear down the road future complications. If God forbid you ever loose a breast or for that fact it anyone looses one you much watch on You Tube the piece on Suzanne Somers who had breast reconstruction with the use of DNA.

Hi Julie, :) how are you doin? Yes my lads are chuffed to pieces. They are planning on travelling the 250 miles to see us next weekend. Well the youngest three are and one of my fosters. The eldest can't make it this time. But we are heading down to Essex at the end of September so I can get my little grandson hugs. :) :). Xx
