Facing the Storm-2

November 2017
Stood shivering with my friend on the side line of the netball court (whilst our daughters battled the elements to play netball) and debating for the zillionth time why netball is not a summer sport?

And then she told me I looked tired. Inside me, alarm bells started ringing. I hadn’t been feeling quite right for some time but I wasn’t sure why.

Later when I was sitting at the kitchen table as Ian cooked dinner, I dared to run my fingers over the ‘place’ where my previous lump had been in 2012. I became aware very quickly of a lump – but this was no longer the bumpy scar tissue that had always nagged me after my mastectomy and reconstruction surgery – this had been busy.

I wasn’t able to resist the temptation of googling this scenario, hoping to find another explanation for this new growth inside me. I read about fat necrosis amongst other things and kept that idea firmly in the wings hoping, really praying, that it could play its part.

My first book – ‘See the Colour in the Clouds’ tells the story of my first journey with breast cancer, when my daughters were just 8yrs and 5yrs, and how they played such an important role in my recovery.
