I haven't posted for a very very long time, sometimes things just creep up on you and before you know it you may not have been looking out for yourself like maybe you should have.

I have recently been diagnosed with Breast Cancer needless to say, thats why I was so tired, thats why I found myself not being able to keep up with project deadlines and thinking whats wrong with me, I just felt so run down.  I was totally totally shocked, all of a sudden things that were......... aren't quite the same.

I have a long way to go, but life goes on and I do what the doctors tell me and keep my life as normal as possible, feeling very positive and I have the wonderful support of my family and friends.

Its taken me awhile to create this post I stopped everything without telling a  soul, and I felt I really needed to explain why now.

Take care everyone.

Lizzyc said...

oh dear, I hope things are going as well as can be for you now.. the diagnosis always knocks you off your feet and you have to process it all... and then when you get a plan it makes it a bit more manageable..(i have sat in a doctors office and heard the words cancer and surgery and treatment in the one sentence so I understand a little ... mine was thyroid..) Do take care of yourself, and I hope you are feeling much better soon... hugs and love to you.. from a scrappy bloggy friend!!
