Having had the wonderful breast care nurse on the phone yesterday - she rang to see how I was getting on - I have today removed the bandage covering my scar and am now so much more comfortable. I had not realised how much the dressing was pulling my skin and how much pressure it was putting on my armpit.
The other thing I clarified with Lisa was the description of my cancer which was written down as Grade 3 invasive ductal carcinoma. As I had suspected the Grade applies to the ferocity of the cancer and yes, 3 is the worst one from an aggressive viewpoint, however she assures me that this is unsurprising and relatively common in younger women. She is also very clear once again that the cancer has now been removed and from now on I will be receiving treatment for having had breast cancer.
I am now reclining in the sitting room and out of the window I can see at least 8 lambs running up and down the fence having races - my favourite part of Spring, so life goes on and I look forward to helping more with it next year.
'Enjoyed' is probably a very inappropriate word to use to describe how I felt reading your blogs, but you are a great writer and very inspirational. So glad to hear you are doing so well. Kelly xxx
