Hello
there
If you have been following my blog you will most certainly be aware that 2014 started for Mr H and I with a new kitchen and a
diagnosis of breast cancer!
We surfed the huge waves of surgery, stomach churning chemotherapy
and finally radiotherapy with the support and love of friends and family. We popped out the other side of treatment just before
Christmas. Last week I had my first, post cancer, nail biting annual mammogram. Apart from the obvious changes that surgery left in its wake, everything else was normal. Yes NORMAL!
So now when people ask me what my breast cancer prognosis is, I
happily tell them that I am like a piece of ham, cured!
In
2015 I made sure the pendulum swung towards fun. I filled it with holidays, giggles, singing and hair cuts...
I now have a chemo induced grey and black change in hairstyle and I love it. Mom said
I was born with black curls so clearly I have regressed!! No one recognises me
anymore!
Writing
and researching have become my new world. I am now working on a historical project
relating to the Quakers and the Midland Adult School Union…
My
brain tumour changed my life but breast cancer has given me a new perspective.
I have learnt the value of Meditation in keeping stress levels low. I hang onto
a calm mind and enjoy what I have more than ever. I try to exercise more and our eating is the
healthiest it has ever been but weight loss eludes me for now...
Mr H and I are looking forward to seeing what 2016 dishes up
I
wish you a happy Christmas and a healthy 2016
Love
Dawn xxx
