SubscribeThere’s no better day than a Cancer Free Friday to tell you about my visit to oncology, yesterday, because I heard the magic words ‘everything’s fine’ and got my ‘watchful waiting continues’ box ticked again. Oh yes I did.
Dr. Handsome (for it was he) was helpful and answered all of my questions: no sign of my mammogram yet, no, it’s not a geniticky sort of a cancer (I’d always assumed someone would tell me if it was, but assumptions can be dangerous), and the best thing to do with my tooth is to take it to my GP and get him to refer me for further treatment.
My breasts behaved impeccably during the examination, which is more than they did last year – I don’t think anyone was convinced by my asking whether it was cold in here – and we were leaving the hospital half an hour after we arrived.
The sun shone, and I spent the rest of the day feeling relieved and knackered and thinking about writing while knitting.
So. It’s a lovely cancer free Friday. Here’s a little song to celebrate. I find it ludicrously, delightfully cheering, and I love Paul Simon’s little cross-chest dance move, which transforms him from a musical genius to a boy trying to hard with a girl he likes at a party, in a second.
That’s good news. I went to the oncology clinic this morning after my lumpectomy 2 weeks ago and to my relief everything’s fine – well I have to have radiotherapy next, just to make sure, but the good news is no chemotherapy!
Oh, Margaret, wonderful news!
Great news
Yess! And to celebrate, feed your wool addiction at http://www.barramewe.co.uk (I think that’s the site, or just put baa ram ewe leeds into a search engine

I had my one-year review last Wednesday and, having been worried sick since I received the appointment letter last October (!) was thrilled to be given the all clear. Apologies to anyone who knows me and who has suffered my increasing tetchiness (understatement) leading up to the review date!! A week and a bit down the line and it still hasn’t quite sunk in yet but I must admit to enjoying telling my friends and seeing their reactions. It’s lovely to be the bearer of good news after 16 months of worry. Congratulations to everyone who has received similar news recently – it’s almost impossible to describe the feeling of relief after such a difficult journey.
Wonderful news, Colette. I can imagine how happy you and yours must be. x
