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.
Pain in my back
I went swimming on Friday which I haven't been doing so much of lately. It's hard fitting it in when I've got so many hospital appointments or the line is in my port which means I can't swim. Anyway, I really enjoyed it on Friday but not sure if I've over done it slightly because my back is really hurting. I'll have to mention it to the Oncologist on Wednesday because every ache or pain has to be mentioned.
I went to bed tonight feeling really ill and in a lot of pain. Things change so quickly, last week I was having a good few days and now I'm in pain again and feeling rubbish!
