Ladies,

I am happy to report that for the first time in my life I am happy to be called 'fat' - fatty lump to be precise and oh what joyeous words they are! I was so relieved I cried on the table the sonographer said that since I was so upset she would tell me that in her opinion - which wasn't a Dr's it was nothing to worry about and my GP confirmed later the same!!
Thank you all so much for caring and replying it really means so much to come to this site and get support with no strings attached.
I called my onc to thank him for the Sunday phone call and he said no worries any time its his job!! I thought that was lovely.
Anyway today I have decided that I have had a few mouse days and now I will be lion again - I even had some 85% dark chocolate which I haven't been able to stomach since finding my fatty lump!
Love to you all
Jenny xx
