Keeping My Fingers Crossed

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

My Friend is Cycling Kenya to raise funds for Breast, Ovarian & Cervical Cancer

I met Sandhy over 2 years ago through the Ovacome website. I had just finished all my cancer treatment and Sandhy was starting hers, I sent her a message of support and our friendship grew.

Anyway You should all go to see her blog as its fantastic and lists all about her up and coming Cycle Ride . I’d really appreciate it if you could sponsor her too as she needs heaps of money, which she mentions about in her blog. I have added a Just Giving button to my blog which takes you to the secure fund raising page.

Feel free to steal this post from me to put on your blogs as i know a lot of you are affected with either Breast, Ovarian or Cervical Cancer.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and don’t forget.. Go see Sandhy's Blog
