15th March 2016 - Whoops Spoke too soon

Well I always did say that this journey keeps on changin!!! Just got back from my appointment with my surgeon to get the results from my bone scan and ct scan (which I'd already gotten from my gp/boss yesterday) So I assumed that we'd just be confirming and discussing my surgery for this coming Thursday.... WRONG! woops I forgot that my surgeon had done a second biopsy on my neck swelling. Guess what, this one came back positive for cancer cells in the glands. Thank god I got those other results yesterday as I would be sitting in a corner rocking back and forth about now. So the plan has changed. After consultation with a professor in Brisbane, I am being fast tracked to chemo etc urgently and will be reviewed in three months to see how I'm travelling and review the need for a mastectomy then. I'm in a good place about it really. I know its not in my body and organs and bone. I know its currently not in the breast because they got the tumour out, they just weren't happy with a couple of the margins. So the only place the cancer is, is the lymph glands in the armpit and now the neck. So nuking the bejeesus out of the body is actually more comforting to me, than having the surgery and waiting for that to heal and then nuking the body. But guess what, on the weekend I had a cathartic clean out of my wardrobe and got rid of clothes that wouldn't fit after my mastectomy. LOL OOPS.
