Hi everyone just an update on my progress. I saw my oncologist today and I told her I found a lump, she is really lovely and said she would have a look. The funny thing was she said she would find it and not to show her where it was. I was about to say the words " cold or warmer , ha ha when after a while she said I've found it imagine, my dismay when it was in a different area. I showed her my original and now I have two lumps. She was not concerned as I am being seen by my surgeon regularly but said just keep an eye on them. It has at least put my mind at rest and I trust her so much that I feel ok now but it was a worry. It reminded me that even when I am well I still have reminders of this disease.
Hope you are all doing well.

Hi Lucy,
What a worry for you, Yes! we all have reminders don't we? it keeps lurking I don't think this feeling will ever go away, but I am glad you feel better about it now, and hope it wont be anything to be concerned about...love x G x
Hi Gwyn thanks for your kind words. Booklet written and poem in place, I'll make sure you get a copy. 3 of my paintings are going in, I feel very honoured.
Oh dear Lucy, what a worry. At least you have a brilliant relationship with your oncologist and you trust her judgement. I don't think a doctor could do better than that.
I hope you can take your mind of these two lumps and get on with enjoying everything life has to offer as there's no need to be concerned whilst you're in such good hands.
Hi Annie my Oncologist has been absolutely brilliant and continues to be. I am so lucky. Thank you for your kind words I will still enjoy my life just working out where to go on holiday first one is Nefyn in Wales, yipeee!
Yes people in Wales can be very friendly. I don't know Saundersfoot but have heard it's lovely. The coast is generally stunning west of Swansea.
Cardiff's also a good place to visit. Impressive shopping centre these days. My daughters come home from London to shop here as it's so much more compact! xxx
Try not to worry...easier said than done! It just always seems like one thing after another with this awful disease, but thankfully your oncologist didn't seem concerned.
It is so hard not to get anxious once we've had this thing. I used to brush off any aches, pains etc with a "it'll get better in a day or two", but now I do get jumpy. I'm glad your oncologist has put your mind at rest. Hope you will relax now and get on with the good things in life.
How worrying for you... glad you got that reassurance. Somehow it always seems more cope-able with if one can keep the emotions/imagination under control - tho can imagine that dismay you must have felt. Not fun, but stay calm and positive as usual!
How good to have such an understanding and supportive oncologist. I hope that nothing will develop and that you can get on with enjoying life. It's true what others have said, we never lose the fear 'oh sh##, what's that?' Has been said many, many times by all of us, I am sure.
Yes we all have the reminders dont we,... It never leaves us even when we are well. I check myself EVERY NIGHT.. Its like an obsession.. but one that i cant imagine not doing.. It scares me so much. Glad you were given the reasurrance you needed.
