Hi Rhonda, How great to hear from you and I am so pleased things turned out well after that awful scare. I can imagine how you felt. I am envious that you have curls...mine has a slight wave but I keep it short....it's so much easier to deal with. I haven't had reconstruction yet as my husband has been poorly. He has had a gastric ulcer and has been in hospital but is doing fine now. I have an appointment in April to discuss reconstruction. All in all I am feeling well and happy...so pleased all is well for you and wishing all the other Jems health and happiness. Irenee xxx

Haunted Houses My husband complained of the pictures 'Haunted Houses'...the nurse declared On the walls of my Breast Clinic I used to gaze at them in despair. Now a year on I felt much stronger, But old fears within me burned I gripped my husbands hand tightly What if the cancers returned? My turn now and the nurse smiled politely And once more I face my fear..... A ray of sun fell on those haunted houses 'You're fine...we will see you next year!' Irenee

Well done for your group getiing a gold in the singing contest Morwenna. One of my friends has recently been dx in her other breast after having a mx 7 years ago, We can only live each day to the full no one knows what is round the corner. Irenee xx

Dear Santa It's nearly Christmas Santa, And there's something I want so bad I've got my front teeth, I now have some hair, What I need I suppose is quite sad. You see what I want is selfish And some say I'm misguided But since my mastectomy I really am lop-sided. So..... with boobs so pert and rounded I could go to the social affair I'm sure my husband would be pleased If I had a decent pair I know your busy Santa But please help me get up the gumption To tell my dear ole surgeon He can now do reconstruction.

Hi Everyone Glad all is going well for you CurlyChris, I was grade 3 with 1 node affected. Rhonda, you must be well pleased, you have had reconstruction etc, and mammograms are clear,, great news. Morwenna, Glad you are doing so well. We have all come quite a way since this time last year. I might have reconstruction if all is well after mammogram. Hope everyone else is ok. Irenee xx

Moving On This time last year I thought I would die, I was numb with shock, I couldn't cry Afraid I entered a world unknown Scans and chemo, and feeling alone. Now I have a new head of hair Thicker than ever and I dress with more flare I'm grabbing life and on regrets ....I'll pass And as for cancer... Lets all kick its ****. Irenee

Hi Jems, Hope the cording issue improves soon Rhonda, and it's great to hear that the physio worked so well Jan. I have also found out who my real friends are after going through this.....and the one thing that got me down was at the beginning some friends and members of the family just said how shocked they were I had cancer and I found it was me comforting them and not the other way round. 😞 My husband and daughters have been my real support. I also have a mammogram coming up shortly...can't believe its nearly a year since that awful visit to the doctors. Hope the rest of you Jems are moving forward. Irenee

Just back from the onc. and feel pleased as I am free until March and this poem came into my head. GOODBYE CHEMO BLUES Oh! What joy, (tho' I look like a boy) To wash and dry my hair. Oh! What delight, to go dancing at night And not attract a stare. Oh! What sheer bliss, to get past all of this Chemo sessions and days of despair. To laugh and have fun, like everyone And to feel I haven't a care. Oh! What glee, to have found ole me And to say to you ladies out there. Go dancing, romancing, have fun, but think on Most of all... hear my call, be very breast aware. Irenee

You helped to calm my fears My hand you held at my scan So to all you ladies I take of my wig I am forever a fan. Irenee xx

Know how you feel Tracy....I am coming up for my yearly check ups and I get paranoid about any little pains...I do live in fear of secondaries.

Glad I found this poetry thread. While I was going through chemo I did write a few poems...this one I forgot about...it was my first one and I was so fed up with what the cancer and chemo had done to me...but I did see the funny side of it. START OF THE DAY I put in the squibby booby, My lashless eyes are bleary, The sleeping cap has gone askew Oh! deary, deary, deary. The hickman line has strayed, The plasters gone astray..... This chemo fog is thick as hell Another chemo day! The wig it will sit upright Upon my balding head A smile I'll fix upon my face As I face the day ahead. I'll ban all negative thoughts And try my old self to be But my whole world is upside down Whatever happened to me! Irenee

Hi Chrissie, well done for making the right choice about your other breast...this has really has got me thinking! Sorry about the cording issue and hope the physio helps. I do have a feeling of pulling under my arm sometimes. The grand total of the fundraising event is £1055...all thanks to my friend Sam who is about to start chemo. I haven't been to crazy hats yet but I do intend to do so.....hope to go to the one in Wellingborough.. Is there one in Northampton? Hope you have a great holiday. hugs to all. Irenee
