So today, Saturday 9th, Rick and I took the day to go for a drive in the country (our most favourite thing to do) We needed some quiet time together, to process this. He said to me tonight, that if he could take this out of me and put in him, he'd do it in a heartbeat. God love him. We've decided to describe it as follows. I have a little lump which has a bit of cancer in it. They're going to cut it out and it will be all better. It sounds so much better when he put it like that. I know that aside from a range of tests etc, I will probably be facing three outcomes. Just surgery, surgery plus radiation or surgery and chemo. I know that the treatment will depend on the type of cancer. I know that Bruce (my wonderful boss and gp) said something about it when he gave me the results... but for the life of me I can't remember exactly what he said. We'll go through it all again on Monday when I start work again. Tomorrow will be hard. I have to tell the family. Then it's onto telling my girlfriends. Sometime this week I'll also have to see a surgeon. Can it be the weekend already. I'll be so much more informed by the weekend.
The journey of a middle aged builder and his wife, starting again in life on 5 acres & building their dream cottage. Along the way the plans changes, grandbabies arrived and so did a little thing called cancer.
