My blog is all about me and my journey with breast cancer. It is a diary of 2010 because I first discovered a problem on New Years' Day. If you want to read it in sequence as a story, then go back to my first post in January. I am chronicling events and treatments so that those who know me can discover where I am at, what has been done, and how I am feeling. It saves me repeating details of what's new to everyone I speak to. I had long wanted to be a faithful diarist, and not give up after a wee while. Your occasional comments will be an encouragement to me to continue. Names have been changed to protect the innocent!

26th February Results of 'Investigations'

This morning I had the rest of the 'investigations' following the discovery of cancer in the lymph nodes - ultrasound scan of the abdomen and liver, and a chest x-ray to look at the lungs.
The sonographer could find nothing abnormal in the ultrasound scan and the radiographer couldn't see anything immediately worrying in the lungs.
I met with my breast care nurse to discuss surgery and prostheses after that, and she went to find out if they'd had the results of Monday's bone scan and blood tests. She came back with the message that they couldn't see anything obviously wrong in the bone scan either.

So that's all good, then.

I have been prescribed tamoxifen, 1 a day for the next 5 years. I'll pick up the prescription on Monday.

I really didn't like facing up to the fake breasts and talking about weird, special bras with features suitable for mastectomies. I didn't take any of the catalogues home. It's all a bit much.
