Well I think I will make the Guiness Book of Records yet. Saw onc to day with mammo and ultra sound but when he looked at my remaining breast he said he didn't need to see them, instead I need a biopsy, I said of what and he said the rash, 6 months previous I had a biopsy of the nipple and it was clear, I asked if he suspected Inflammatory Breast Cancer and he told me it does not necessarily have lumps or bumps. So I am still off on my cruise tomorrow and having biopsy on Monday when I get back wouldn't it be nice to come back after a relaxing week to find out it was an alergic reaction to life. Apparently first line of treatment is chemo, derrrr, I just came off 6 months weeklly Herceptin/Taxol/Carboplatin only 2 months ago and been having double Herceptin every 2 weeks with Aromasin, then the next step is modified radical mastectomy, I already have an appointement next month for reconstruciton of the left and reduction of the right, so in the big sheme of things this must have happened for a reason. Having read Maryanne's story made me relax and appreciate I can have this week.
Bon Voyage I am going on the Illfated Pacific Sky along the coast of Queensland, so keep an eye out on the news, so far first trip out had engine troubles and turned back and refuned fares and gave discount for next trip out, next trip out propellar failures due to jelly fish and delayed trip, and New Year's eve trip passenger was drunk and jumped over board never to be seen again. Hence I have instructions not to jump overboard as tempting as it is but I intend to die of old age in my sleep.
Love & Hugs Lyn
