    Two months today I lost Mum, it still hurts really bad. I miss her so much. I was looking at my old blogs and out came the tears. I was also in denial but I did realise that this was it.

    Hello again. Surgery went well yesterday without any problems. I'm glad the BCN warned me about the dye. My wee was turquoise! My underarm is a bit tight and the boob is a little sore. Now it's waiting time again. There were two other women in with the same thing and the BCN came in to see us....
