14th January 2016 - Welcome to Your Breast Cancer

So this is my Welcome to Cancer pack as I like to call it. The pillow and the redish book "a guide to early breast cancer" was from Megan my lovely breast care nurse today. I showed Rick the pillow and said what do you make of this... he didn't let me down "A hat, a brooch, a pterodactyl" - Fans of the movie Flying High will appreciate that. Anyway, the kit comes from BCNA (Breast Cancer Network Australia). I ordered it myself and it looks really good. If you have anyone diagnosed with breast cancer, get them to go on the BCNA website and order it. So today was a good day. I had a bowen therapy session with the lovely Bonita yesterday and I woke up free of headache and feeling amazing. Hard to believe that this time tomorrow it will be one week since the diagnosis. There's one last thing I have to face tomorrow and that's telling my oldest and dearest friend Heather. If you've decided to read through this Heather, leaving you out of the loop has been the hardest thing to do. But you needed this time away with your family after the year you've had. And we've got plenty of time to catch up and have coffees and bitch about the world, and the stupid people in it, so I know you'll forgive me. xxx
