Day Twenty

Not good news I am afraid, the cancer has spread to my liver. BUT! In true spirit of me, this is what I think. I am not having the mastectomy now, as they need to start me on chemotherapy as soon as possible. The lesions on my liver, although mulitple, are small, about 2mm. The liver is also an amazing organ, it is the only organ apart from your skin that self repairs and you can lose half your liver, and it will grow back. Isn't it funny that I have heard two people lately discussing their cancer in their livers? So, I get to keep hold of my boob for a little while longer, the chemo will hopefully stop any further spread. And the really good news, the news that has made me feel more relieved than anything else? My bones are clear and healthy. I know that my blood pressure today was 135/65, nice and low, and that I am not anaemic. My isotopic scan was clear. Thank God for small mercies. I feel so loved by my friends today, got some wonderful messages of support. I love you.
