Facing the Storm-3

I have concerns

Anxious to put our minds at rest we set about arranging a check-up as soon as possible.

During the ultrasound scan I sensed that things were not right. Ironic really that I was the one being scanned and yet I was able to scan the sonographer’s body language and know for sure that things were not right. I persuaded her to share her thoughts with me, and although she wasn’t allowed to be specific, we left hospital in the knowledge that she ‘had concerns.’

We decided not to say anything to our daughters (or anyone) until we had the biopsy result and knew for sure what the forecast was. The idea of friends and family on tender hooks with us, perhaps offering those re-assurances that they were not qualified to give, was absolutely not an option for us.

Memories of the previous episode in 2012 came flooding back like a tsunami. It felt as though no time had passed and we were still on that long treadmill. Playing that painful and familiar waiting game (for results) once again brought those raw emotions bubbling to the surface.

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.
