Since the previous update, it has been confirmed that I do not have lymphoma but in fact have breast cancer. The cancer in my right hip is secondary breast cancer located in the bone. So, what a whirlwind few weeks we have had.
Once the doctors had diagnosed breast cancer (last Friday) my treatment plan did not take long to put into action. I had my first hormone treatment on Tuesday and some radiation therapy on my hip and upper back today.
I also visited the breast surgeon this morning and will be having my operation on 21 December. Not the best timing but then I don't think any time would be a good time and I'd rather just get on with it.
Trevor continues to be my pillar of strength and very supportive (even though he's had to sacrifice Ashes tickets for the Adelaide and Melbourne games!)

Amy,
I have been so tied up with unimportant things I hadn't looked at the blog for a week or two and reading your news has shaken me to my foundations, I just don't know what to say. I have obviously only met you once (when I came to stay with you in Warsaw) but you and Trevor were huge support to me during my seperation and divorce and you have both felt like you are close friends ever since, even though you are so far away. All I can do is offer love from both my close family and I and wish you the speedy recovery your bravery will be rewarded with. With love, Bob, Di, George, Harry, Megan and Charlotte
Amy
is this better news than expected? can they deal with the hip thing and is the breast thing a complete mastectomy? Hope you're fighting hard. Thanks for updating blog, been logging on to find out what's happening coz graham is rubbish at picking up the phone!
