Back in the fray - it seems!

Well, just when I thought that the last 12 months of dealing with breast cancer, the ensuing treatment, getting back to work and feeling like myself again; it came time for the regular checks. And lo, it came to pass that........I was diagnosed a second time...in as many years!  This time, though the tumour is considerably smaller, I choose to get rid of the whole breast, like the other.  If nothing else, I shall be "even"  Hopefully I can keep my sense of humour and positivity.






The worse thing is that the surgery got pushed forward, which means I will be unable to attend my dear Mum's 80th birthday celebrations in another state. Glad we have skype and the phone - hope she will be ok.  And today I met a very positive and like thinking friend from my work for lunch - was great to see her.  I tend to shut myself away going through such things.  At these times it's great to have friends.






I'd just got back to my normal hours back at work, and also returned to some music, playing the organ for one of the churches my Dad used to preach at some years ago.  Great pipe organ.  Anyway, that exercise won me some more friends - who call me every couple of days.









And yes, still have my fixation with all things British, and HAVE to get there some time in the not too distant future....so I am trying my hand at drawing and painting picturesque cottages and scenery.

Few days left till my surgery - glad when it's over and done with.....
