Where do I start. I have always been a very strong positive person ,which has really helped me with many problems I have had to manage.
Now it has been confirmed I have breast cancer and I am discussing the options open to me to remove it.
I could have an operation under a local anaesthetic or I am going to have an assessment by an anaesthetist to see if I could have a general anaesthetic, the biggest problem is the
Bronchiectasis I have, which I am on oxygen for, but as many of you understand the pain associated with vasculitis which prevents me being able to hold my arms above my head. So far I have had excellent treatment it's all been very speedy. I have a date for an operation 28th September. My h.b also is very low.
So between now and then I have several more tests also decisions to be made.
If I am honest I am very frightened it's not the cancer but the vasculitis. I have c s s plus pan. I know I will be rid of the cancer but I wish the surgeon could also cut that away.
My husband has had his knee replaced and progressing very well . We have had lots of help from friends ( has anyone any idea how I can thank all these friends) which I have been totally overwhelmed by.
My biggest fear is I seem to be getting more incapacitated and my husband is now so much better and I feel I am holding him back although he has not indicated that.
I am trying to take one day at a time as I have tried to encourage others to do sometimes I am successful but others I am one big failure.
There is so much more but I do not want to go on or wallow in self pity. I think I am going to be able to get myself cracking again soon !!
