Tuesday 4th - Thursday 6th July 2017
Fairly uneventful couple of days. Attended the Breast Clinic on Wednesday for a wound check as mine seems to be taking its time to heal over in a couple of places! Then went on to a physiotherapy class (6 of us altogether) where a physiotherapist just went over the exercises we all should be doing and to check that we were all making good progress (I can almost get my arm straight up above my head!) Then one of the volunteers from the Macmillan Centre came in to talk to us about all the different therapies and classes which are available to us. Really interesting to hear what is on offer including reflexology, massage, nail care and makeup classes, exercise classes and many more!
Friday 7th July 2017 - Results Day!
Woke up feeling quite anxious about today I would like to think that I was ready to hear anything good or bad and that I would deal with it, but deep down I knew that if the cancer had spread I would struggle to cope. Reno had the day off to come with me, Sam went to school, but I know that she was really worried.
My appointment was at 10.15a.m. and we arrived at the oncology department in good time. I never mind how long I have to wait because I know just how important it is for the oncologists and nurses to have time for each patients questions and concerns. We were called through to the consultation room at 10.45a.m. and there we waited for a while until a breast care nurse came into the room to tell us that my oncologist was still with someone but she would give us the results and then he would come through just as soon as he was free. This was it - I almost felt I couldn't breathe these results meant so much to us all - the nurse started by saying to me that it was good news! Considering that I had had an aggressive cancer my recovery was excellent. No cancer was found in my lymph nodes and the breast tissue had all been removed. We were thrilled of course, and my tears started to flow, I was so relieved that finally I could move on and would not have to face anymore chemotherapy - the one thing that I was dreading so much. The nurse left us and I found myself thanking Reno so much for all that he had put up with during the last 6 months. We text Sam so that she would worry no more and she replied "So proud of you mum - I love you" those words said it all. After a short while my oncologist came into the room also with a smile on his face as he knew that we had already received the good news. He explained that it would be a wise choice to go with radiotherapy just to be absolutely sure. This would be treatment everyday for 3 weeks (except Saturday and Sunday) but treatment only lasts 1 or 2 minutes! A doddle compared to chemo! He also explained that as Herceptin had already had an adverse affect on my heart they would continue to monitor this by scan and should the time come that they needed to stop the Herceptin before the full 17 doses were completed then some doses were far better than none, but they would not put my heart at any unnecessary risk. I asked about my numb fingers and feet, and he explained that this is all due to the chemotherapy although it has now stopped being given, and I could expect these symptoms to gradually go after 6 months to a year. At least I know things will slowly improve over time!
The oncologist then introduced us to a member of the radiotherapy team who explained more about what happens with radiotherapy and then took us to the department to show us around. Once again the staff there were lovely and made me feel really at ease. Once my wound has healed and the breast clinic are happy with the scar I then have to contact the radiotherapy team who will start the process to get my treatment started. Hopefully by the end of the summer all my treatment will be complete (except Herceptin) and we can all start to relax a bit more and move forward - maybe even plan a few days away!!!
Today turned out to be a really good positive day - the best in a long time - I am so thankful to everyone who has helped me over the past six months - I haven't always been the best patient - I know I have been hard to please at times - and I know that I still have a way to go, but without my husband, daughter, sisters, family and friends I could not have done this - I needed and am thankful for the encouragement everyone gave me and the support when the going got really tough - THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH - WORDS ARE NOT ENOUGH XXXXXX.
Saturday 8th - Sunday 9th July 2017
Restful weekend celebrating the good news! I even had a couple of glasses of wine Saturday evening (something I haven't done in ages!) whilst having a meal out with Sam and Reno - I think possibly even my taste may be improving - or was that just the wine!!!!!

I give thanks to Dr onokun for helping me get a permanent cure to Uterine fibroid. I have used different western medication without any improvement, And I could not have a child of my own. I had heavy bleeding, frequent urination, a bulky stomach, and cramping. My bleeding is sometimes so heavy that I can’t go out. I go through 9-10 pads in a day. It is so uncomfortable. I have tried everything you can imagine because I’ve had my fibroid for 18 years but none of them have really worked. They just make you feel like you’re doing something but at the end of the day its not really much of a relief. People advertise all sorts of “Fibroid Cures”. I’ve tried all that you can imagine and they worked for a little while, but it’s not working out you have to keep on going. You cant really stop taking them. I got the contact of Doctor onokun from the testimony of people on the internet, and I contacted him through the Email and explained every thing to him. then he sent me his product which I used for 2 weeks. Now am completely cured so I really want to tell this to the world that there is a permanent cure to Fibroid. contact him on dronokunherbalcure@gmail.com or whatsapp: +2349064844957 he can help on any health issues
