What's it all about?

Hello

As you can see this is my first post! The idea of this blog is so my Family and friends can check up to see how I'm getting on - that is unless the Doctor who told me last Wednesday that he thinks I have a potentially life threatening illness is wrong, if so it will no doubt become redundant, just another good idea gone to waste (I seriously wouldn't have too much of a problem with that though!)

When I lost my best friend and Mother at the end of 2003 I thought that would be the end of my association with Breast cancer, yet here I am 15 months later, having found a lump in my breast, having to visit the exact same hospital that she did and even being diagnosed (possibly) by the very Doctor who gave my Mum the bad news 16 years ago. Life's a bitch isn't it?

I can, at least, say now for certain that it definitely is more difficult for relatives and friends when someone they love is going through a difficult illness, I always thought so but now having been on both sides of the equation I know it for sure.

Whatever happens I know I'll be alright because I have great Faith, God won't abandon me, He'll give me the strength and courage I need, He always does.

Love
