Day 134

Well, I had my oncology appointment today. I walked into the hospital and was asked by a another patient if I worked there - guess that means I don't look like a patient! I had a look at my blood marker graph - it has come down so far now I am now categorised as 'normal'. The first time I have been called normal for a while. I asked about my hair growing back, that too is normal. I asked about my monthly functions being erratic. Not only is that normal, it also means I am still fertile. Although I don't want any more children, it will certainly help when I am older. The doctor had a check of my breast, he could not find the lump either, thinks my breast looks normal. GUESS WHAT?! I am NORMAL!!!!! Hurrah!!! I don't need the operation, I don't need radiotherapy and I don't need to see my oncologist until April! All I need now is to have a good echo examination on Monday and I have green light go for Herceptin. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I have come a long way since the 18th July, I feel like I am coming down the other side of the hill now. I could not have done this without all the incredible support I have received and some very special people. You have helped me remain positive through all of this and my divorce - I am still smiling! I have said it before, no doubt I will say it again - I am a very lucky girl. Thank you. You will never know how much you mean to me - but I think you have a good idea!
