Well that was (almost) the week that was!

Its only Wednesday. And I am all "hospitall-ed" out. So far, I have had the delights of a mammogram, an ultrasound and more blood tests (because the last lot got con-tam-in-ated!) And I still have Friday to look forward to. Friday being another load of bloods (for cross-matching!) and another chat...
Thank you Twitter. And Good Night.

Right peeps. I have some news. On a rather epic scale. And it is 100% not related to Breast Cancer at all. Uh-uh. No way folks. It is cancer free. Organic. Virginal. But sweet and tasty news it be. And I bet you are all glad too - that it's not effing cancer related news - I mean. I bet you are all...
One Lump or Two?

Ok. Its official. I am starting to get a bit stressed now. Just a little bit. Ok. Scratch that. A lot stressed.
I had a bath last night. I know there is nothing unusual in nightly ablutions. But, when you have Breast Cancer, a nightly bath can take a turn for the worst. I think I have found...

Well, sorry for the mini 'hiatus'. Not intentional, just been trying to do "non-cancer" related stuff. Not successfully as it happens. I saw my Consultant again on Monday. Had a red and angry boob again which I thought was infected. It is obviously cross as it knows its days are numbered. My...

Anoher day, another doctor. This time I am meeting the Big Cheese. The Head Honcho. The Mammary Master. This man rebuilds ladies like me.
He seems very nice. We exchange pleasantries. He likes Green Day and Muse. I decide he is ok. Time for the usual de-robe and inspection. He gets his tape measure...
I have a Stalker. Her name is CanCer.

She is an evil son-of-a-bitch. Like a poisionous vine, she twists around my leg. I try to shake free but her grip justs get tighter. I drag her along. She just laughs. She is enjoying the ride.
She is everywhere. Omnipresent. She is in head and in my thoughts. Constantly She is in my dreams She...
Time To Get Badass

Ripley, Hulk, Trinity, Wolverine, Lara Croft, Selene, Morpheus, Lisbeth, Alice, Sam and Dean Winchester....
Badass dudes. Every single one of them. I have always been meek and mild. Never said boo to a goose. Got my head down and got on with it. I do not stick out from the crowd if I can help it....
'I'm in the de-details with the Devil'

I asked for my pathology reports today. My consultant was relcutant to give them to me. I whinged at him and eventually he relented. I know this was probably a bad idea. I think he also knew it was a bad idea. I like to google. So it should be no surprise that google I did.
My consultant had...
'Put On Your Warpaint!'

Thank God for Fall out Boy. They have released the most amazing song. Just when I needed it. Go check it out. It's called The Phoenix. The first line of the song is 'Put on your warpaint'. (I know its not personally for me! I am not dumb!) But it feels very personal at the moment, given the...
We Have A Plan

Here we go again. I am back on the ward, in a stupid hospital gown. I am last on the list. There is only me and another lady. I start to make conversation with the lady opposite. We exchange commentary about our diagnosis. I ask who her surgeon and it's Mr ______.
To quote a lyric from one of...
