Tuesday post bank holiday means: everybody gets back to work!
And means 500 calls to do and answer. I wanted to get answers, so I went to get them!
New appointments booked - Bone scan next Tuesday to check for metastases and stage the cancer. And appointment at Guy's tomorrow at Genetics department has been confirmed. - That will tell us if I've got the BRCA gene or not, and that might slightly change the treatment.
Then got the main answer from my breast care nurse about my hair. It will definitely fall and I should be ready for it. So I grabbed my "nuts" an decided that in that case I might as well go wig and scarf hunt - So I did.
Grabbed the name of the place the nurse gave me and decided to go there to book an appointment and see what it looks like. As I'm ever so lucky - not! - the lady that deals with wigs had just left - so I just told this girl about my diagnose and I didn't have too! And she gave me the pity eyes!... - anyway the girl gave me the direct contact number for the lady and will definitely ring her to book an appointment with her as soon as possible.
Now I've decided to do it in stages, first cut above the shoulder before chemo. Then cutting it short on the first 14 days after chemo. - There!! I've made a decision. And that felt good! I'm taking control - Slowly.
This cancer won't take the best of me - although M wants it to take a bit of my sarcasm away... not a chance!! - I will take control of my life, I will take control over you and you're not going to win. I have been a stubborn person all my life, can't see a better situation where the stubbornness will be well applied.
All of this topped up with a lovely catch up with friends, made it a very nice day. Oh! And the sun was out!
Eddie inspired me today so here it goes something from him:

"I'll paint the picture, let me set the scene
I know, I'm all for people following their dreams
Just re-remember life is more than fitting in your jeans
It's love and understanding, positivity"
