		<description><![CDATA[My hair is growing back. I&#8217;m not exactly tripping over it yet but it is definitely on its way. Martin reckoned there was one strand that must have been an inch long. He calls me &#8220;Tufty&#8221; now! Prior to this he was wandering round saying &#8220;My precious&#8221; and imitating Golem in Lord of the Rings!! [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I came to a grinding halt yesterday. There was no major, dramatic reason for this. I&#8217;d felt pretty tired on Tuesday night and had a reasonably early night. I suppose I&#8217;d had a fairly busy few days, and yesterday I had no plans. I knew there was something up when I didn&#8217;t get out of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thankfully, dad finally got out of hospital yesterday! His test showed something that wasn&#8217;t quite normal so they did a CT scan but they still won&#8217;t know if there&#8217;s anything to worry about until the results of the biopsy are in. Mum is still getting over whatever bug she picked up, but insisted on being [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m continuing to do well. We went to see my surgeon yesterday. He had to drain some fluid from where the last drain had been, which is to be expected, but other than that he said I was healing very well. He removed the steri strip dressings and said I could now soak in a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When my surgeon, Mr Carpenter, came round at 7.15 on Friday morning and said the last drain could come out and I could go home, I was very pleased indeed. He&#8217;d always said I&#8217;d be in for seven to ten days and Friday would have been the eighth day, so this was as early as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since I started writing this blog I have talked about my treatment plan openly. I knew virtually from day one that I would have chemotherapy to shrink the tumour and then a mastectomy, or rather a double mastectomy because of the risk to both breasts from the radiotherapy I&#8217;d had at 18 for Hodgkin&#8217;s Disease.

Have been chatting and joking with Martin, mum, Lou and Bev all afternoon and texting people. Talked to dad on phone, then Paul and Mary. Everyone including [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve had four major operations since the age of 18 but I think this is the hardest to come to terms with (although hindsight does not allow me to remember exactly how I felt before [...]]]></description>

It really is very strange that we two, who shared a room while at university in Sheffield 33 years ago, are both fighting breast cancer at the same time. Singing in the Rain was [...]]]></description>
