No news is good news I guess

I had the CT scan a week and a half ago and have heard nothing from my Oncologist. I guess that's good! I could have rung her, but I was too chicken last week, and this week have decided I don't need to!

3 years tomorrow since I had the mastectomy. I can't believe I haven't had a reconstruction. When I was first diagnosed I definitely wanted one as soon as I could. Now I'm going to the Solomons instead! Who wants more surgery and medical stuff? Not me that's for sure...

Less than 9 weeks until I leave for the Solomon Islands ... yippee!

Scared sh*%less!

Funny, on Thursday I was happy that my Oncologist is sending me for a CT scan tomorrow, because I thought it would help me go off to the Solomon Islands knowing absolutely that I was heading off cancer free. Now though, as tomorrow looms, I'm scared sh*%less about it! Absolutely terrified that they'll find something. It's stupid..... there is no good reason to think this...... it's just the bloody mind games the mind plays with us now and then.

Today's 3 year Oncologist appointment

My Onc was pretty happy with me. I'd lost 4.5kg since my last visit, which is good.... slowly, slowly, slowly the weight is going down. All good, but she's booked me in for a CT scan next Monday to just make sure everything is checked and she has a 'baseline' scan before I head off to the Solomons. I'm quite happy about that as it'll help me go away with maximum peace of mind that all is good with my breast cancer.

Anniversary

3 years since diagnosis. Off to see my Onc for check-up, but not expecting it to be anything more than 'routine'. Certainly in a much better state of mind than I was this time 3 years ago!!

Nearly 3 years since diagnosis

It'll be 3 years since diagnosis in a bit over a week. Had my appointment with my surgeon this week, and all was good. Next week I see my Oncologist and don't expect any problems there either. Still see each of them 6 monthly.

Biding my time until I depart for the Solomons. Due to an election announcement there, eeparture date has been put off to 30th August now :( I just want to go!!
