Moving On

It’s been a while, hasn’t it?

I’ve written before about being turned away in tears from a local spa during chemotherapy in 2015. All I wanted was a massage during my good week before I went back for round 2.

Almost a year ago, I wrote my last cancer-related blog - 'Who am I?'

This is not the blog I thought I was going to write today. I know it's been a while since I last posted, and quite a lot has happened.

Firstly, I realise that I've left those of you who don't follow me on Twitter or Facebook anxiously waiting to hear the results of my tests, and I'm truly sorry.

The Independent and the Daily Telegraph published articles yesterday saying that less than half of all GPs knew that Tamoxifen can reduce the risk of breast cancer.

If you remember, I was waiting to see my surgeon to have my neck nodes looked at.

As a breast surgeon, I was always vaguely aware of World Cancer Day, but the significance of it passed me by.

I'd never heard of the word scanxiety until I was diagnosed with breast cancer and started talking to the breast cancer patient community on Twitter.

I've just come back from a fabulous few days in Switzerland, and got to spend time with my family over Christmas.
