Anniversaries..

Sorry I haven’t updated in a while but as we all know, life is busy and life goes on! But I’m here, I feel well so long may it continue. The 5th of July was my 6 year cancerversary with secondary breast cancer.  Which in itself is a milestone many do not get too. People say oh Ali you’ll be here for years, and I bloody hope I am. But I feel we are heading towards uncertain times. 4th July was my first year anniversary since my first awake craniotomy. In that year, it has been a difficult time with not knowing what was going to happen and hey ho I was back under the knife 5 months later as the bugger hadnt gone but grown. This time it sounded more positive but in my MRI in February the tumour had grown back AGAIN. So what now? We are starting to run out of options but I was still able to have radiotherapy 5 sessions over 1 week. My following scan in May showed that the tumour had significantly shrunk but was still there, so now it was felt to wait and see what it is doing in my next scan. My next scan is mid August and we shall see what that brings. To say I’m worried is an under statement! I feel well. I’m losing weight! And above all my sheer determination to live is stronger than ever. My granddaughter has just turned 4 and starts primary school in September. Another milestone ✔️. Its been an up and down year so all I want is a stable scan. I dont care if it’s still there but please let it be stable and not to have grown. Scan 19th August  and hopefully results by the end of the week. Please keep me in your prayers. Love to you all and I will update you all in a couple of weeks.
