Hi everyone,
I have been trying to find the right time and way to make this post. This board is such a happy and magical place that it is difficult when you have to share bad news.
As a lot of you will remember, I first found you all in 2012 when I was having treatment for breast cancer. My aim was to get well and get to Disney. I achieved this and had two amazing trips. 15 days with my husband in 2013 and a big family trip (9 of us) in 2014. Then Disneyland with my sister, BIL and niece in 2015.
Now the radiotherapy that I had to treat the cancer has caused a tumour on my lung. It is a well recognised side effect of breast cancer treatment but it is still very rare. As the tumour was pressing on a vein, I was very ill and this culminated in me being rushed into hospital and having an emergency procedure to stent the vein. I was in hospital for 10 days. I am now home and feeling much better.
I am starting a new chemo regime. My aim is to get well enough to get back to Disney.
As you know, I was initially very excited about the big 2016 meet up, we were planning to do the cruise and land portion and we're looking forward to meeting you all. Obviously this has now changed and that is why I disappeared from the discussions about it.
I haven't been posting but I have been reading all your trip reports - keep them coming.
Oh and if anyone has any spare pixie dust - please send it my way.
