...it worked! (you all did very well!...obviously all those kick ass thoughts helped)
I got my results.....and they are good.
The lymph nodes were clear.....so thats good news. (excellent news in fact)
There were actually 3 lesions in the one breast.....a little unexpected..... but...at least my initial surgery was the correct decision....and so we are thankful for that.
I have a little bit of treatment to look forward too.....both Chemotherapy and hormone therapy.... both of which increase my chances of a complete recovery.....so all in all I'm lucky...and grateful.
I did score myself a wound infection though.....which I'm a bit miserable about.... as I am bug phobic at the best of times.... but hopefully the a/bs kick in soon...and I can continue my recovery quickly.
So...Im lying low while my arm is sore..... letting the a/b s do their work.....
...there is one other thing I need to mention....and I cant believe I was so 'me me me me' the other day that I didn't mention it on my blog..... Briony has her bands removed yesterday ....she now has a mouth full of perfect teeth... the moment she had been waiting 18 months for...there will definitely be photos to come...

How can i wipe windows xp from my laptop and reinstall windows Me -the laptops first software?
ReplyDeleteI suffer with recently bought a in use accustomed to laptop that is old. The mortal physically I had bought it from had installed windows xp on it, indeed for all that it at came with windows Me. I fall short of to eradicate the windows xp because it runs slows on the laptop because it takes up more honour than the windows Me would. Also I wish to transfer windows xp because it is an forbidden copy. So when I tried to run updates on it, windows would not install updates because the windows xp is not genuine.
