I know it is very scary to trust the doctors, but cancer treatment has come a very long way from the 1980's. I looked at some of my Dad's old books and they quoted some very persuasive statistics, but they are not correct. But even these alternative books did not advocate leaving the lump in place, they gave examples of women who had only agreed to have the lump removed and their experiences, some of them returning for further lumps to be removed. I was quite interested in the article this week that said that tailored treatments were on the way - bc not being one single disease but a group of distinct types of disease.
Personally I was wary of having the lumpectomy and not jumping straight to a mastectomy...
In the end I just had to trust that the doctors knew what they were doing.
Mum much better today, she has been drinking with a straw after I asked for one last night and maybe theat has helped. Quite lucid but couldn't remember R visiting on wednesday. Able to talk to him on the phone though and remember writing a letter to the paper last week and packing up a birthday present. Looks like she will be home Monday if she continues this way. Pity I've got to go back to work.
Been past the Westley Hotel today on way to get petrol with my brother. Looks like they have dropped the arms...
