Two years & two breasts later…

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in January 2016. This post describes my treatment, including two mastectomies, and how I decided not to have reconstruction after mastectomy but to live flat.

How lucky am I?
I’m still doing Facetime therapy & I still prefer face to face. Only 3 more weeks & I can go back to the familiar room with the familiar chair again. Sleep not so good right now.Pain gets in the way #covid365 #coronadiary #coronajournal #iamwriting #writingthroughlockdown
I was quite content on Day 3 but seemed to be worried about a stuffy nose. It was unclear what the symptoms of coronavirus really were so thought that every cough or sniffle could be the virus. Volunteering came to nothing. They couldn’t verify my ID. I remember being really pissed off about that. How dare they reject me!! #covid365 #coronadiary #coronajournal #iamwriting
I love this logo for the new @5kyourway podcast. Can’t wait to listen to it & the guests that they’re going to have. So many wonderful stories of the lives touched & supported by the charity & @movecharity. There’s ready a YouTubechannel where you can watch loads of videos of previous inspirational interviews & exercise ideas.
So now the worry about dying is coming through. Staying home as instructed. #covid365 #coronadiary #coronajournal #writingcommunity #writingthroughlockdown
I felt really fed up, low & emotional today. Too much writing about difficult times & worrying about what my future might look like. And despite this being very superficial I’m not enjoying having really long hair, bags under my eyes & wwearing elastic waisted trousers because I can’t fit I to my jeans anymore.
