Bit sore at the moment with bruising from the biopsies but otherwise feeling ok. I am meeting with the oncologist today, to find out my chemo plan and probably the full diagnosis including staging. Kinda scary. Fingers crossed there are no nasty surprises, i.e. it has spread further than my armpit lymph nodes. Not sure when chemo will start, but from what the specialist said previously it will be either this week or next...
Yesterday I had a bone scan, which apparently looked clear so at least some good news :) The girl asked me to take off my bra and lie down on the machine, which I did, she was horrified when she came back in and I was topless, ha ha, covered her eyes and said to put my top back on! Oops, bit of a miscommunication there. Must be getting to be a bit of an exhibitionist - used to medical types wanting to have a look at the girls!
Thought we had managed to sell the car on the weekend, admittedly to a strange sounding chap who was "at sea", wanted to surprise his wife who had just given birth in Perth and pay by paypal, but noooo...all a scam, no doubt by some dodgy Nigerian... Googled it just to check as it sounded suss and according to this website http://www.suite101.com/content/car-buying-scam-using-paypal-a215956 at some point he would have asked me to transfer money by western union to pay a pick up agent who doesn't take paypal. Cheeky bugger. Funnily enough he hasn't replied back to my email - I was really polite too :)
P.S. my pick for the Melbourne Cup is Once Were Wild. Ha ha, not a hot tip though - I haven't picked a winner yet in 10 years, but maybe I'll get lucky today.
Hi Kirsty, I admire your courage so far and appreciate that you can be so open to share your experiences with us. I especially like that you haven't lost your humour...the 2nd paragraph of the 2nd post about topless miscommunication had me laughing out loud. The rest, of course, had me feeling very emotional. I wish you all the best. May you continue to have such astounding courage and may you get through this and be stronger for it.
