Mupdate

November 1, 2006 by

My mother is New Zealand’s latest titless wonder. (She’d really hate reading that, it’s my little inside joke… so if you bump into her… Mum’s the word ok?)

This month’s been a bit of a roller coaster and I know, mentioning the ‘C’ word actually makes things feel bigger than life. But here’s the thing. The really good thing is that at no stage have the surgeons or doctors given us any reason to believe that this cancer is going to kill her. She’s only 60, she’s got a few years left in her yet… A V good thing I’m sure you’ll agree. And an advertisement for early detection… (on that note… have you been checked? Are you doing your self checking? )

ahem… as you were…

Having said all that, on Tuesday my brave little Mum chose to have a bilateral mastectomy instead of a lumpectomy and ongoing radiotherapy. In anyone’s book I reckon that’s a pretty bold move… I mean, seeing off your girls like that isn’t exactly an easy choice…

At least it isn’t for me at nearly 40 and never been … well… you know…

It’s a thought that comes up in my mind now and again, given our history and all, I wonder if it’s the wiser choice but with the exception of my grandmother the age of onset has always been much later than 40… so I feel like I’ve got time and I’m having the boob sandwich again early next year… It’s that first one that was the hard one…

So, there you are… the update… thanks for your generous thoughts and prayers from one side of the world to the other and points between it’s extraordinary to have such positive vibes at such a time…

You guys rock… no seriously… you are rockin…

Just thought you should know…

You’re the best.

    Really should go to bed. Called myself you, if you get my drift, when it was meant to be a kind of greeting.

    D’oh!

    Sorry have not popped by recently, so did not know that stuff was happening re: your Mum.

    Is so hard when someone so close is not well. You are def getting some prayer power from me.

    Hugs

    (Bother, I keep forgetting to answer the spampreventory question.. they’re too hard!)

    My love and prayers to both you and your mum – a very courageous lady indeed (and you can apply that to whichever of the two of you you choose! ;) ) My sister had a lumpectomy five years ago now and is doing well, so I know some of the torment involved.

    Hope your mum’s soon on the road to full recovery.
