Thank You For Your Kindness : A Short Update

I just wanted to say a huge Thank You for the wonderfully kind and thoughtful comments and messages we’ve received following my last blog post (a Mini Me update on my mum’s breast cancer diagnosis).

Breast Cancer : An Update

Following her diagnosis of two breast cancers, my mum underwent a single mastectomy, which went well. During the surgery they also took biopsies of the lymph nodes. I’m very glad to say the results were clear, meaning the cancer didn’t spread. As such, she doesn’t need any further treatment aside from continuing with the medication Anastrozole for the next five years, with annual mammograms for the other boob. Things have been a bit up and down since the op, which is to be expected.

She’s contending with heart failure after her heart attack a few years ago, side-effects from the heart medications which are worse than the condition itself, severe osteoarthritis in her knees, and severe spinal problems that cause considerable pain and mobility problems. We’re obviously both incredibly grateful and happy things seem okay now following her diagnosis, but these other things she’s dealing with on a daily basis still take the spotlight. I think that’s why I don’t feel the huge relief I thought I would, because there’s all these other health issues still there, problems to deal with and worry about. A breast cancer diagnosis was the last thing she needed but she’s done very well.

💜 Thank You! 💜

We both wanted to say thank you to everyone who has left comments and sent messages to wish her well. The kindness and good vibes have been gratefully received.

I also wanted to say thank you to all those who read InvisiblyMe and have stuck with me as I’ve been blogging so sporadically over time. Between chronic illness and life, I’ve not had the time or physical ability to write much or be active in the blogging community, certainly not as much as I’d like. I’m hoping to do a little more, but I need to be realistic that it’ll never be what I’d hope because the truth is I simply lose too much time being non-functional and I can never keep up.

Sending Good Vibes Right Back At’Cha

How’re you all doing? I hope life has been treating you kindly lately, though I know so many of you reading this will be struggling yourselves. I want to send hugs and good vibes to those that need them. Please take good care of yourselves. 💜
