Thanks, Elizabeth.
Hug as big as you like, just not too hard on the right side! I must say, it's getting a bit hard to sit back and do very little now that I'm feeling a lot fitter - who would have thought it? Still getting lots done for me though - it's very enjoyable.
I am very positive now, too. I realise that I'm very lucky to have caught it so early.
I've had a couple of outings today - the first was to my gynae, a lovely man, (won't go into all the details, don't worry chaps) he just wants to get a couple of things tidied up before I start the treatment and the second to my surgeon for a quick check up - I was a bit worried about the wound, but he says it's fine. Pathology results weren't in yet - too soon unfortunately. Felt a lot better after seeing him as well. Then had a visit from a friend who brought yummy cakes from the patisserie, and we chatted for a couple of hours in the late afternoon sunshine, so all in all, had a good day.
I'm also overwhelmed by the response to my news - the outpouring of caring and love from family and friends, including you, has just been wonderful. I know it shouldn't be unexpected, but I never realised just how much it means to the person receiving it. It makes such a difference. I feel really blessed.
