Pleurodesis
Hello Ladies,
Just thought I would update you all about the procedure. I was supposed to catch up with a surgeon on Friday 3rd February to discuss the procedure but the weekend before everything took a turn for the worse!
I ended up at the Austin on Saturday 28th Jan with terrible shoulder and neck pain. Later that afternoon I was transferred over to Warringal.

Merry Xmas and a Happy New year
Hi Ladies,
Just want to wish everyone a Merry Xmas and a Happy New year. I know some may not feel too much like celebrating but the festive season will still arrive so we must try and make the best of it.
I hope everyone is as well as they can be at this time and I hope and pray that everyone gets some better news next year. I have my fingers crossed for myself and for everyone else out there.
Thank you everyone for your support throughout the year with advice and information on things I hadn't tackled at the time. You are all so valuable to me.
ANOTHER HICCUP
Hi ladies, went back to the Oncologist today and well it wasn't what I had hoped for. One of the mediastinal nodes has grown to two inches while I have been on Aromasin. Also my CT scan shows a pleural thickening on my left lung.
