Wow! With everything that has been happening over the past year I have been contemplating starting a blog. When I saw the Blogger icon I clicked on it to check it out and low and behold it took me to a page that I started.... well.... when I was 47 I guess. I do vaguely remember starting the blog and then losing interest before I even managed to type anything. Why I chose the title I have no idea.
Since then, at the ripe old age of 48, I have been diagnosed with breast cancer, had a mastectomy, undergone both chemotherapy and radiotherapy and am now undergoing hormone treatment which thankfully is just one tablet a day. My prognosis is ok I guess, reasonably good I should say, but who knows with cancer? It's a waiting game of which I hope gets easier as time goes by. There is no sign of cancer at the moment so the aim is to stop it recurring. I try to live by the rules of 'no symptoms, no cancer, and until I am told differently that is the way it will be'. It works most of the time.
I wish I had had this blog when going through treatment as there was just so much material there to write about. Even at the worst times I could still laugh and I am sure I could still find an amusing slant to put on things. Maybe I will post a couple of blogs about those experiences if the mood takes me. This blog is not a diary and it's not a record of my journey with cancer. I don't claim to be a great writer and for those grammar buffs out there I hope I don't offend you with my lack of grammatical correctness.
Well, there's a good start, my finger slipped and I posted before I was quite ready. I have absolutely no idea of how to handle this site so it should be interesting. Anyway, now I can say that I have learnt how to edit a post. I shall leave this here until I can think of something more interesting to say. I hope I can find my way back here but nothing is guaranteed.
