So it's March! I really don't know where time goes...I swear it was Christmas last week! The weather is more like that of a December though, what with all the snow we've had this week!
My operation results were good :) it was a reactionary lymph node (whatever one of those is) and there was NO cancer in sight at all, which was lovely :)
This means...drum roll please...that I have OFFICIALLY been Cancer free for a whole year! A massive achievement, and a good mile stone to reach!
It doesn't stop me from being obsessed with every slight twinge or ache, or being convinced that me being out of breath has nothing to do with the fact that my exercise regime is severely lacking and if my stomach hurts, it has nothing to do with the horrifically greasy fish and chips I had last night!! I guess that paranoia is something that comes as standard with a cancer diagnosis! I am all to aware of how quickly things can change though, and sometimes I think celebrating might not be the best thing, as if something bad happens, the fall will be even harder.
I rang my nurse in a state of panic last week after receiving a letter from my (shoddy) Doctors telling me that I needed to contact them RE: a scan result. MY mind went into over drive, convinced that they'd read the wrong scan and things weren't looking good. Turns out that they had only just received the scan results from the scan I had in January, which had already been dealt with! So my slight breakdown was just because of their lax record keeping!!
I really do need to change doctors...
