When is your next treatment or appointment @Onewildandpreciouslife ? Your username is fantastic, by the way, You may well still be stage 2 and this could be a new primary cancer, please don't give up that hope.
Sounds like you had a great weekend @Nonamelass ! Ah, the git would have got you even if you hadn't missed making the appointment (I have personified my cancer - it is male 😂) none of this is your fault. I'm glad you are living your life to the full now, your kids are grown (and sound lovely) and that your mum has a good care home. It makes such a difference. Whatever else you do with your life, it is being well lived. Is it not the French philosopher Montaigne who said something like "the value of life lies not in the length of days but in how we make use of the them"? It's one of my favourites.
Welcome to the club nobody wants to be part of @Bangersndmash . Do you have primary breast cancer? Having two under three is difficult enough without throwing weekly chemo into the mix! What sort of chemo are your having? I had weekly paclitaxel for 15 weeks, stopped just before Christmas and now I'm on the anti-hormone drugs.
I saw the oncologist this morning and was basically told to "carpe diem", as any flair up of the lymphangitis could spell the end. Apparently they didn't expect me to leave the hospital when I was admitted back in early September. Or not via the breathing route anyway. I honestly don't know whether to be proud of this or not(!) but apparently for the first weekend of my hospital stay I was the inpatient who had the highest mortality ranking of everybody. My name was literally on all of the lists right at the top in flashing lights. No wonder I always had a queue at my bedside 😂It also explains why DH was so nice to me! I shall stop feeling guilty about being an inpatient now.
I hope everyone is doing well and dealing with their side effects as best they can.
