  • Surgery results

    Posted May 11, 2011 by tanya

    Had a positive meeting with my surgeon this afternoon to review the surgery pathology results. All in all it was really good news: 1. No tumour involved in the 26 lymph nodes that were take out. 2. The right breast lump was a fibroadenoma - not cancerous. 3. With the main lump removed there was b...

  • 1 June PJ is home

    Posted May 11, 2011 by tanya

    Jode and Steve here again to do their whip around (dishes, washing, making beds, playing blocks, drawing giraffes). My wonderful friend Saffron took Fraser for the whole morning leaving me wondering what to do. But then had two visitors for tea and coffee which was really nice. Received an unsettl...

  • Nearly fainted today

    Posted May 11, 2011 by tanya

    Mark left at about 7am to go to work this morning leaving Fraser and I. Fraser plodded through to me shortly after letting me know it was time to get up. Which I did, feeling just a bit of normal nausea. Anyway a short while later I was overcome with cramps, waves of feeling that I was going to pass...

  • Fraser's birthday

    Posted May 11, 2011 by tanya

    Fraser had a busy and very fun day today. He awoke to balloons covering his floor, and he and Leila killed about half an hour playing amongst them. Adored Leila's present - a Toy Story Woody doll. We gave him some Lego blocks and wheels. Somehow we managed to get the house, with streamers and balloo...

  • Leila's on holidays

    Posted May 11, 2011 by tanya

    Leila's last day of school yesterday. Played with Fraser a bit in the morning - I think little ones have a sixth sense. He was quite adamant that I sit with him while he ate his morning tea, and then wanted to sit on my knee while we coloured in. Mum came over and then took Fraser back to her place ...

  • Sleepy head

    Pretty good day. PJ came over and took Frase and I out for a cuppa and a muffin. Then we went to the park and I did a few laps while Fraser played with his friend from daycare who was also there. They had a wonderful time on a big swing together. Napped while Fraser napped. Left Fraser at home wit...

  • First day after first chemo

    Posted May 11, 2011 by tanya

    Had nearly eleven hours sleep last night. By 8pm last night I felt very achey and sore, kind of like when you're coming down with a bad flu. Went to sleep with my trusty wheat heat pack under my lower back. Awoken by a little body crawling into bed and smothering me with kisses and pats. Mark did ...

  • First chemo today

    Posted May 11, 2011 by tanya

    Anxiety levels only started rising when we were trying to find the right building at Hollywood and feeling more and more frustrated at getting lost. All these great new buildings and absolutely pathetic signage. A tip to the CEO of Hollywood if you're reading this: Take your mum or best friend to Ho...
