Exciting news!.. APRIL 5TH 2011…

Dave Sheriff has written a song for Jan…

She is feeling very privileged!

The dance is called 'The Waltz Queen' and the step sheet is now available..

 

HERE IS AN UPDATE ON JAN'S CONDITION ON 6th January 2012

THEN

Her diagnosis is Breast Cancer HER2 Positive Grade 3.... (aggressive)  Diagnosed in October 2010

Jan had 2 operations to remove the cancer, a lumpectomy and removal of the lymph nodes under her arm

Chemo started on 17th January after a few false starts because of the infection which persisted in her second operation site.

 

The chemo wasn't as bad as she thought, up until day 3, then it all started….

Gastro intestinal pain, colic, chills, altered consciousness to the point of passing out, 7 kg weight loss in 3 days, peeling gums, sweating, constipation initially followed by profuse diahorrhea, bile discharge ++   extreme pain in the ankles and wrists (heat helped) and a general feeling of lifelessness.  She is deaf in the right ear and is experiencing blurred vision.

 

The Oncologist stopped Jan's chemo, it was way too harsh for her and would have seen her off the planet had it continued.

 

She did lose her hair, and that was after just one run in with chemo drugs. 5 months later, her hair is about an inch long all over.

 Some of the symptoms are still hanging around, decreased hearing, blurred vision, digestive problems, tiredness, joint pain.

To add to that, she now has lymphadema of the right arm. Her Mum (85!) is her physiotherapist and works on her 3 times a day

 and she has to wear a a lymphadema bandage at times… you can imagine how thrilled she is about that!  (-:

 

Her current treatment is iv Herceptin in hospital, every 3 weeks. A recent echogram of her heart showed

some minor changes but not enough to stop the Herceptin.  (a side effect of Herceptin is heart failure!)

She has also taken it upon herself to take Essiac, a natural herbal medicine that is reportedly an old Indian cure for cancer.

One of our friends in line dance, Judy Heathcote, died in hospital from cancer a few weeks ago. She was 61 and loved life!

Jan was in the room nearby having her own cancer treatment at the time. It was a very sad and depressing time.

 

Radium therapy started for Jan on the 14th June. It was so sad watching her drive away from home, on her way to Brisbane.

 Having radium means she was away from home for 6 weeks.. she hated that idea! She stayed at Charles Wanstall Lodge which is a an accommodation for cancer suffers, and a 15 minute walk from the hospital where she had  radium every day Mon - Fri

 

OCT 2011

Jan is still coping well and says that although the radium treatment was a bit scary at times, it was really not so bad. 

By the end of the 6 weeks of radium treatment her boob was pretty well burnt and had holes in several places.

Those holes  have all healed up now.  She still has lymphadema of both the arm and the breast and that is

quite painful at times… but she thinks she is lucky to have just that!

A recent mammogram and ultrasound (September) was all clear!    Her herceptin regime continues until about March next year. 

Jan has thick curly hair now and it grows very fast. She has just had her 3rd haircut!

 

The class she took over in Maroochydore while she was having her radium in Brisbane, is going very well and she is enjoying the challenge of having her own class again.  It’s been 10 years since she gave up being an instructor to concentrate on her workshops and choreography, so she had a bit of brushing up to do.  Still, she always rises to the occasion and this has been no exception.

 

As for me, I am very glad to have Jan back home again… it’s been a worrying time.

Life is still good…….Annie

 

6th JANUARY 2012   JAN HERE!

 

Yeeeeehaaaaaaaa!  I had my last treatment today!! 

Ok, so there is still a few appointments with the Oncologist and some regular tests to follow,

but basically, I am a FREE WOMAN!  (-:   OMG!  I can’t tell you how good that feels.

 

I did have a scare a few weeks back when another pea sized lump raised it’s ugly head, but lucky for me,

a biopsy showed that the lump is not malignant…. but we are keeping a good eye on it!

 

I am feeling well and still appreciating having some hair… I’ll never take it for granted again.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO SENT CARDS AND GIFTS AND THEIR VERY KIND GET WELL WISHES.

I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET BACK TO EVERYONE (it’s impossible I can tell you!) BUT PLEASE TAKE THIS

AS MY VERY GRATEFUL THANKS TO YOU FOR YOUR ABSOLUTE GENEROSITY OF SPIRIT!

LINEDANCERS ARE JUST THE BEST!!!

 VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR WISHES TO EVERYONE, I HOPE THAT 2012 IS THE BEST YEAR YET!
