Update On Mrs Janz Cancer..

[janzman]

...For those who may be interested Mrs Janz had surgery, a left breast mastectomy back in February, followed by a two week follow up then a CT scan to determine whether the cancer had spread, it had not, thank Godd.After various sessions for blood tests, Muga heart scan, counselling and other procedures we have arrived at the beginning of treatment. Her first chemotherapy session is to be next Thursday the 24th March. This will be followed by three more sessions three weeks apart and then four more sessions spaced three weeks apart of a different cocktail of chemicals. After that comes three intensive weeks of Radiothrapy every day and finally reconstructive surgery. Big year is this 2016 for us, wish us well, please.

that's true Mamy - cancer is pretty much in my family. Right now my nephew's wife 41 years old got a tumour removed in December and when they took it out there was another tumour beneath it. She is going through chemo and to top it all their little girl of 5 is autistic. Horrendous really!!!!

I wish her well, a dreadful journey for any family to travel.


I was glad of mine close round me when Bill was suffering and then it beat him.

that's what I sorta mean - a person goes through the trauma of chemo and radio only to eventually "go". Everybody worries about that.

In saying that another friend of mine has been through the wars for the last 7 years and is still here and looking forward to being a grandmother in June. Hooray - she sure deserves it.

I did think of Janet today, I hope she took to her chemo ok and wish her a speedy recovery Janzman, my relative will be receiving palliative care and thank you to all who wished our family well.
