What a Difference a Day Makes.

9th September 2009, should be and is considered to be a lucky day especially in the Chinese calender.  People are lining up to get married on this day and Gretna Green had 47 couples waiting to marry on this date.

Why was it not lucky for me, this was the day I was told I have Breast Cancer.  I consider myself to be a lucky person in some respects, I have a wonderful husband of 35 years and 3 wonderful children, all married to lovely people who I love like my own.  I have 5 grandchildren who are the apple of my eye and who I would lay down my life for.

Was I frightened when told this news, no not really.  I was more nervous about how to tell the family, especially my daughter in New Zealand. 

I will take what life throws at me, I love life and have had some great experiences along the way, but this is one journey I have no control over. 

Over the next week before I have my next consultation, I need to tell friends that I need their support, I need to write down any questions that come into my head, I need to speak to my GP to understand what this all means to me and my underlying auto-immune illness.  What are my options, my fears and my hopes.  These all need to be met full on and dealt with. 

So you see my friends.......  September 8th 2009 blissfully unaware........September 9th 2009 ?????????????? What a difference a day makes.
