Hello friends and watchers.
"Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it is about Learning to Dance in the Rain."
Its been almost 4 months since I made a journal, I haven't thought about how much time I have been busy with this evil cancer. Actually I had TWO cancers in the same breast, How special am I 
But I'm not feeling sorry for myself, im looking for all the positives. And there are many.
I've had the surgery, and I still have both boobs even though one is well butchered. It doesn't bother me, just another set of battle scars, and I've still got the view even though I dont have any hair. Actually I have some of my hair, I kept it in a box 
Im not superficial though, I did ask for them to take everything so there is no risk or worry in the future. They wont do it (which is why i have the cancer in the first place - because they wouldn't remove the lump before it turned to cancer).
I thought chemo was a doddle when I started, it turns out it does catch up with you. And the new batch of chemo I had this week had a bad reaction. With 2 more sessions to go, Ill have to see what they have planned for me if I'm allergic to it.
- Chemo should end in March
- Radio therapy will take me up to summer
- I should start feeling better around September
- I'm taking part in some experimental programs which may help me and others to receive improved therapies
- Ill be back
When a smart phone won't do
I've been managing without a computer for many years, but there comes a point when a smart phone just won't do the job. So I've been dabbling with personal stuff using different software. Even Photoshop has changed a lot in the last few years, but I'm working up to artwork again. I'm determined to learn new software while I save up for Photoshop and get back to the good stuff :D I'm determined to learn alternative software while I save up for Photoshop and get back to the good stuff. Gimp really isn't the same. I need to let my dark side out to paint Where have I been? Dealing with my health mostly. Lots of new stuff added to that long list of conditions. I didn't make a full recovery from cancer, but I was pretty good for a while. Independent and positive as always. But its back, and its untreatable. Stage 4, Terminal. It spread to my lungs. I was still doing great until earlier this year when I had double pneumonia. I survived but it has left me needing daily oxygen and
Beating Cancer
I havent been around as much as id like. Illness and frequent new diagnosis. It's been a big year for hospital procedures and diagnosis. Almost non stop since Easter. But there was 1 result that puts everything else in perspective.
I have breast cancer.
It's stage 3c, her2 and has spread. Ill know more next week when I go for surgery. I'm not sad. I'm finding simple pleasures and facing whatever comes with out tears.
Ive also dyed my hair bright green because I can, and im going to lose it very soon.
Wish me luck for 18th September. My surgery is on my birthday
Thank you for the dedication from creativemikey (https://www.deviantart.com/creativemikey), much appreciated,

Puppies and exhibitions
Spring
Its definitely spring! We have had weeks of unseasonably good weather with lots of sunshine, and I've been in the garden enjoying it with my pets. Typically, now that the school holidays arrive, its cool and cloudy with promises of SNOW
:snowing: So Im back indoors. It has been a while since I updated my page. My PC crashes randomly, so I didn't want to start something new and lose it (or part of it). But I'm going to risk it because I have a confirmed exhibition coming up and I need to make new art.

Thank though for your kind words. I didn't realise how much the battle continued after the treatment. I don't have the energy I had but I'm still here. I'm now a sloth
