THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT MY LIFE! Those bloody goalposts are on the move again, the surgery didn’t get all the cancer and it wasn’t expected to. It was performed to remove some of the burden from my body and to prevent the tumour from breaking through.Yet the extent of the disease in my chest wall came as a bit of a shock and I suppose I hoped that maybe, just maybe by some miracle things might have been better. I’ve dusted myself off again after…Continue Reading “Goalposts”
Hi all, thank you so much for all the love it really means so much. Well that’s the end of my “Feeling a right tit” blog then ! Lol I’m good, in no pain and apparently it all went well. Xx lopsided but relieved Kitty.
Love, cherish,respect,enjoy and most of all examine your breasts.On Wednesday I will lose one of mine to hopefully prolong my life. Be vigilant, don’t ignore or delay no matter how small something is or how scared you are.If your gut tells you something is not right and your doctor disagrees find another one, your life could depend on it.Trust yourself, you know your own body. (Oh and cut out dairy products and sugar,adopt a plant based diet and read The China Study, maybe? just for…Continue Reading “Nearly lopsided Kitty”
As breast cancer awareness month comes to an end I’m sorry to say it’s not all pink and rosy. While nobody’s life is ever the same after breast cancer, for many of us, breast cancer is for life. Here’s some facts you may not know, straight from the horse’s mouth so to speak (be nice, I have cancer). To those who love me and those who are quietly and bravely fighting their own battles, I’m sorry but I have to do this; it’s important. It…Continue Reading “2 years living with Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer”
When I was initially diagnosed and stage IV hadn’t yet been confirmed I was a woman on a mission, I was going to beat this bastard. I had books coming out of my ears and I devoured them all, books about food and nutrition, alternative therapies, exercise, you name it I read it. But then I realised there was something missing, something I was craving that I hadn’t yet found in anything I read. What I actually needed was something to calm the chaos,…Continue Reading “Books”
I wake up around 6.30 in terror. I should be relieved that surgery is off the cards I didn’t want it but I didn’t want chemo either and now I’m furious as I don’t have an option and what if surgery was the best option? I lie awake waiting for the oncology office to open so I can call Carmel. I’ve had so much conflicting information in the last week my heads fried. I call the hospital , it seems that assumptions were made and…Continue Reading “Second opinion (tumour gone amuk)”
So the drugs didn’t work the cancer has spread to my liver despite the juice the organic veg the positivity the wheatgrass. Despite all my best efforts this sneaky disgusting disease has bypassed the drugs and hit my liver. I really might be dying, I have so much to do, the practical stuff like read up about chemo the side effects, nutrition, alternatives to help myself and not hinder the work this poison needs to do. Decisions to be made like do I even want…Continue Reading “Liver. How do you live when you are dying?”
