Interesting read as i was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer and it wasn’t until after my hysterectomy that i was informed i also had endometrial cancer too.
Well the weatherman was correct in saying the snow would fall this afternoon. I have been laid in a gorgeous hot bubbly bath and suddenly my bathroom went dark with a pinky shade. The pinky shade was the snow falling.
Up to now we haven’t got a lot and i want more. I love the snow, the dogs love the snow.. So send me some gorgeous thick flakes please.
I woke up this morning to snow.. not a lot of snow, but snow all the same.
The weatherman on television informed us that tonight and into tomorrow we will get about 10 inches of snow.. I will be there with my camera awaiting the white stuff to land.
In November 2010 we had lots of snow, the first in years and lots of troughs in the grass had to be made so the dogs could go to the toilet without getting lost.
My shovel is at the ready, just in case we have lots of snow like 2010..

Last week i had my 6 month appointment with my Oncologist and all is still well. My CA125 blood results were 9…
He is still pleased that i’m ok in that department but not as pleased as i am!
My next appointment is in 6 months time.
Back in October, i mentioned that my Doctor had referred me for breast screening.
A few weeks later i received a letter from the Department of Clinical Genetics asking me to go to my local hospital to meet up with a Registered Genetic Counsellor. What an interesting appointment it was.
Firstly a family tree type format was done to see who in my family had had what cancer. My Dad had Bowel Cancer so rather than check for breast cancer just yet, they are examining me for Bowel Cancer. I had a blood test and should get the results as to if i’m ok or maybe need to be checked by March.
The condition they are checking for is called Lynch Syndrome which can predispose to bowel polyps and cancer, endometrial cancer and a number of cancers including ovarian.
So by asking for a Mammogram i am now been checked for Bowel Cancer, which is good.
I’m also having regular physio sessions on my head and the Vestibular Failure i have although to be honest i don’t think its doing any good as i seem to be more dizzy, nauseous and tired as the days go on.
Since moving home, i’ve had to register with a new doctor. Today i had an appointment with her regarding getting screened for breast cancer. A couple of months ago i asked at my old doctors only to be told that i am too young to be screened as i am not 50 ( i’m 47) and that no one in my family has had Ovarian Cancer or Cervical Cancer so i am not at risk!
Anyway Dr Stafford ( My new Doctor) had a good read of my massive file, which was about 1 page thick before i became ill 5 years ago, and is now big enough to write a novel!!
She informed me that i actually had 3 cancerous tumours and not the 2 i thought i had.. Anyway she found the letter that had come back saying i wasn’t eligible for the breast screening and is going to try to refer me herself and she is going to state that although no one in my family has had Ovarian or Cervical Cancer.. i have and i really don’t fancy having breast cancer too thank you very much.
So fingers crossed that i get a referral
