Thanks for taking the time to visit my website. I'd like to tell you a little bit about myself. I'm a wife and mother of 3 young children, Matthew 13, Ellie 10 and Freddie 6. I was first diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2001 at the age of 36. Following Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy, I was in remission until a chance MRI scan in Feb 2005 for an unrelated problem, detected that the Cancer had returned. I was then diagnosed with Secondary Breast Cancer. The likely prognosis given in February was 18 months to 5 years. I then had to undergo aggressive Chemotherapy, but following the results of a recent bone scan, it was found that the Cancer is still spreading.
The treatment in Germany will cost thousands of pounds and for most people like myself, the opportunity for this is a dream. Many of my Family and Friends want to make this dream a reality and are making tremendous fund raising efforts, because without them, I would not be able to seek the treatment that I so obviously need and which is not being offered in this country.
Nose Bleed
Since yesterday, I've been suffering with really bad nose bleeds, I think this may be connected to the
reduced platelet count as I've been looking up low platelet counts on the internet and it suggests that nose bleeds are a common factor.
Also I've got a terrible pain in my left side underneath my left breast, it was on my list to mention to the Oncologist on Wednesday but didn't get round to it because of our depressing chat. I also didn't mention it to Germany either!
