Leila and Mark were deep in conversation when I arrived to the kitchen the other day. They were talking about what might happen to my hair if I have chemo. Interesting her take on it. Worried that people might laugh at me. She is keen that I'd wear a wig. I wouldn't be into wearing a wig. But then...

Spent a bit of the morning doing Cancer Work. Made a few doctor calls, filled out a complicated insurance claim form. I am seeing the surgeon on Wednesday afternoon when we'll review test results and decide on the next step. *Note to anyone reading this to review your insurances (health, income pro...

Had a lovely sleep in this morning til 8.26am. Am having lots of dreams I think because I'm having to sleep on my back. Is that scientificaly proven I wonder? My war wounds to date are doing fine. Had to change the dressing after my shower by msyelf (because M is v. sqeamish) so that was tricky as I...

This is where I've been going - it's at SJOG Subiaco. My surgeon is based here and if I need further treatment this is where I'll be. I'm lucky that we've got this integrated treatment Centre at the hospital and near to home. I don't think the interior designers could have designed the waiting room...

As predicted, am struggling a bit with sitting and resting. Feel very frustrated at not being able to whip around the house tidying and washing etc. Poor Leila had a major meltdown this morning.

Was sent to bed early last night and had a pretty good sleep except that we had a little visitor very very early in the morning as Mark had forgotten to put a nappy on Fraser so he woke up a bit wet and uncomfortable! My amazing friend Jode came over as she has every day this week at 8am to help ge...

It's Wednesday morning so 2 days since surgery. I'm feeling good - just a bit immobile around my left shoulder. There's no internet access here so I can't even remember what my last post was. Yesterday morning the second canula (I think that's the right term for the drip in your hand) came out so th...

Enjoyed a cuppa when I got home. Checked email. Checked voice messages. And now what? This is going to be tricky for me. I must take it easy and let the feelings of 'must tidy up and get dinner and unpack and arrange flowers and check the washing' pass me by. I feel great. My arm is gaining mobilit...

Had a pretty good night, despite the nighttime nurse check-ups, and managed to sleep on my side for a bit which was glorious as my back has been getting very stiff and sore by the morning. Was told before breakfast that I could go home today but ended up having to wait til after 1pm as they didn't h...
