Regardless of how far away we live, it takes only a #hug to bring us right back together. And no doubt we have had ups downs sideways and in betweens but we get through it all better for one another. 40 years later here we are in #NorthernCalifornia in the #sierra mountains on a glorious day looking healthy but hiding all the pain it took us to get to this one moment in time. Was it worth it? You bet your ass! #metastaticbreastcancer #breastcancer #fuckcancer🖕 #livingwithmetastaticbreastcancer #stage4needsmore #stage4breastcancer #bcsm #bccww #sisters #family #stepsister (at Auburn, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHoFqhHgN5z/?igshid=1xfyk1kwftv1n

I love you Tita Lisa. Seeing you last night was so hard on me. Woke up today and was hoping everything from yesterday was just a dream. 😔 I'll always remember you by your big smile that always lit up the room, always saying silly things, and laughing all the time. I can hear your little voice right now as I write this. There was never a dull moment with you and I mean NEVER. Your energy was always bright as the sun. We share a lot of memories I cherish and I thank you because those memories are the highlights in my life. I thank you for taking me into your home when I was a teenager and treated me as your own with open arms and a warm heart. I thank you for all the laughs and fun times. You are so freaking strong Tita and I look up to you and your strengths so much. I've never met anyone as strong as you for someone who is so tiny! You have no idea how hard it was just to write this. How many times I edited all this. 💔 I look at these photos and smile like it was literally yesterday. I love you so much and thank God that I got to know you and be a part of your life. I pray that you pass peacefully with no pains. You deserve that and more. ❤❤❤ #fuckcancer #myhearthurts #imissyou #iloveyou #cancerawareness #stage4breastcancer #beautifulsoul

The Really Rather Annoying Day it wasn’t the Menopause

The Really Rather Annoying Day I Realised it wasn’t the Menopause

 I had my mastectomy in March 2017 and, apart my clumsy stepping on the drain tube, everything was going o.k. Until complete and utter disaster and devastation. The next couple of weeks are the stuff of nightmares and ‘what have I done to deserve this’ days.

In the summer of 2016, I had visited the doctor complaining of leg pains and trouble sleeping, I was advised on two or three occasions because of my age it was likely to be the menopause. One doctor actually told me to go home and google alternative remedies. Skip forward eight months and I would discover how annoyingly wrong they were.

It’s not even a week since my surgery and I am very, very ill, I’ve been vomiting all evening and am running a temperature. My husband bundles me into the car, with a steel bowl, previously used to make coleslaw in, as an enormous sick bowl and we set off for the hospital. Every bump in the road is agony and I sit in the waiting area of A&E for an ordinate amount of time feeling as if I am about to slip into unconsciousness. It really is rather frightening. I am finally seen by the triage nurse and moved upstairs into a cubicle. Various doctors pop their round the curtain and ask me the same questions over and again.

It’s late in the evening but there is no chance to doze because one of the other patients is kicking up all manner of a fuss. We’ll call her Dominique, because that’s her actual name, I know this because in between her yelling for drugs and threatening to call the police the nurses attending her are yelling ‘be quiet Dominque’ and threatening to call the police. Security are eventually called but I miss the outcome of the drama as after X-ray results prove inconclusive, I am taken down for a scan.

I’ve convinced myself the issue is scar tissue from previous operations attached to my bowel, I’ve suffered from this before. So, I am only joking when I say to the doctor ‘As long as it’s not more cancer’ and when he replies ‘you’ve asking the right questions’ I think nothing of it.

Big mistake, huge.

I’m admitted to a ward and when I wake up the next morning and Volky (let’s use his proper name, it’s easier and he deserves a shout out) is already at my bedside telling me the doctor has asked him to come in early, I realise things are probably not going well. The surgeon arrives, sadly not her with the stylish cigarette pant wardrobe, and without preamble tells us the cancer has spread to my bones, fallopian tubes, ovaries and peritoneum (outer lining of my stomach). I also have a blockage in my bowel which is in danger of perforation and I need emergency surgery to fit a stoma before the whole thing bursts.

I have metastatic, or secondary, breast cancer, I wasn’t even aware it was a thing, but clearly it is and a very terrible thing at that. ‘Will I die?’ I ask the surgeon. She tells me I will ‘at some point’ so, not knowing the facts of metastatic cancer, I am reassured I will make my earlier promised recovery and carry on with life. Volky is a bit more alert, he is admittedly more of a morning person than me, and realises I’ve gone overnight from having a cancer that I will get better from to having a cancer were only 22% of patients live beyond five years.

To say life has taken a grim turn is the understatement of the century. Let’s remember not six days ago I was believed to have primary breast cancer; I had no detectable lump in my breast and I’d had my first clear mammogram at 48 years old. In two years, cancer had set up home in my body and raced around it at an alarming rate. I don’t have the time to dwell on this awful situation as I am wheeled down for my emergency bowel operation. In the waiting area I discuss the ridiculous orangeness of President elect of the USA Donald Trump with the nurses and try not to worry about what the future holds and indeed how long that future will be.

Things are about to get really rather painful.

There are approximately 35,000 mostly woman living with metastatic breast cancer in the UK, 1000 of them dying every single month and yet on average only 5-9% of the funding for breast cancer is allocated to it. Those of us with metastatic breast cancer are literally dying for a cure.

If you would like to support people living with metastatic breast cancer visit WWW.Secondary1st.org, where you can also donate to help find a cure.

Well to say we had a difficult week would be putting it lightly! It started with our trip to City of Hope where we receive lots of educational information and have to sort out what we have learned. It’s going to be a few weeks before we are ready discuss future plan for my cancer treatment and when we do we will update everyone. John and I decided to take a day off and stay at the beautiful Langham Huntington hotel in Pasadena. When we got home thank goodness Jackson arrived from college to stay the night. Because when we woke in the morning our poor baby puppy google was acting really sick and would scream every time I try to pick him up. So we rushed him to the veterinary hospital only to find out he was having acute Pancreatitis. He ended up staying 2 1/2 days on IV fluids and anabiotic‘s. The same day I had to have small surgery. So turned out to be quite a bit more stressful than we had planned. Now that Google is doing better and Jack is off to his dads into visit friends things are calming down!! And of course just throw in the middle of the Knicks my dearest friend Mollie Macarthy- Openshaw was in Southern California and we had to visit! You know as girlfriends have to catch up! Thank you for your prayers and support… It is so appreciated it’s hard for me to even express how much it means to me. #cancersucks #stage4breastcancer #sickpuppy #friendsmatter #lovemyfamily #bunnyloveshoneybear #lovelaterinlife (at Ladera Ranch, California)

2016, my #Beautiful #Mother was diagnosed with #stage4breastcancer . Out of nowhere this diagnosis came. Just BOOM! Stage 4 Breast Cancer. Devastated, and incredibly heart broken, I put everything on hold to move my Mother down #South and be her caregiver...#hoping #praying #researching that all would be well. My Mother was the #parent the loved me unconditionally. She not only gave her all in every way for me, my Mother was also my Biggest Cheerleader..even when it came to #gjellyboo using nothing but my #productline ❤❤. 5 Weeks & 2 days ago, she passed away due to another complication (not Cancer)😢😢😢. Although this #instagram page is for Gjellyboo hair care line and #naturalhair I felt it important to introduce you to the Woman that carried, nurtured, supported, believed in me even when I doubted myself, and loved me with her innermost being. To my Instagram #Family that has been diagnosed with Cancer, I am praying for you. For the selfless people that put everything on hold to take care of a family member that has fallen ill, I understand how beautiful and emotionally challenging it is. If I had a chance to care for my Beautiful Mother once more, I'd do it with joy in my heart ❤️, and big smile on my face😊❤❤. Thank you Mable Garcia (Mama) for loving me. ❤❤❤. Until we meet again 💔💔. May you Rest In Love 🕊🕊❤❤❤ #rih

Hello everyone! Just a quick update. The question that I’ve been getting from everyone lately has been “How are you doing?” I’m so sorry if I haven’t had a chance to respond to your message directly yet. I’m having a hard time keeping up with responses and keeping track of the medium in which I was contacted. I’m going to try to be better about that though. Right now I’m super quarantined with the exception of doctors appointments. Treatment has been difficult with covid 19. The clinic that I’ve been going to is out in Palm Springs, so it’s been a bit difficult with the commute but having no traffic has been a plus. My pain has become more tolerable since starting IV therapy and my energy has been increasing which is ahhhhmazing!! You really never know what a blessing health is until you no longer have it. To even be feeling a bit normal has me on my knees in tears with gratitude and joy. Pain is a daily thing for me but much more manageable now. I have amazing people in my life who have been showing up for me and filling my life with love and encouragement. We are currently doing a 30 streaming concert series that has been going really well! Thank you so much to all of the amazing and beautiful artists who have donated they’re time and talent to help me. I am so thankful for y’all!! Thank you so much everyone who’s shared and donated!!! So what’s next: I’ll be heading out to the desert soon for about 3 weeks of continuous treatment. It’s safer as there are less people so lower risk of contracting covid. I’ll have more updates next week. And I’ll be playing a steaming concert too sometime this month with a wonderful friend!! Just waiting on treatment schedule. If you have a chance, please check out some of these amazing artists that are donating their time and talents to help me raise money to fight cancer. I feel so blessed to have discovered so many amazing artists and I would love for you all to have the same experience 🥰 That’s all for now!
