I soon will have nothing left to write about, or even talk about for that matter. Today Mr Carpenter who shall now be known as the lovely Dr Rob, gave me the best news ever. My cancer has gone. None of the lymph nodes he removed were affected (even the ones that went blue - showing that the tumour was draining into them) and my margins are completely clear. This means that it is unlikely to have spread. We had another chat about his wonderful needlework and I'm all set for a precautionary 5 weeks of radiotherapy. Will talk to the oncologist about that next week.
I'm not sure that this would have happened without the support of so many amazing people over the last few months who have kept me together in mind, body and spirit and to whom I am truly thankful.
In true pre cancer style, I celebrated immediately with some extensive sale shopping in Marylebone High Street and a fab fishy lunch washed down with two glasses of Champagne with my sister (who needed sustenance after blubbing all the way from Dr Rob's office to the restaurant...) Have come home with oysters from Fishworks and two boxes of cakes from Patisserie Valerie...
Yippee!
