Today marks exactly 6 months since I was officially diagnosed with Breast Cancer. The time has gone by so fast, flown by in a whirlwind of tests and treatments. I’m not sure I’ve even got my head around all that I’ve been through so far. There still hasn’t been enough processing time. At other times these 6 months feel like forever. I guess cancer life has become the new normal for me.

It’s an absolutely stellar day so we go to the Smales Farm Market and wander round in the sunshine. Afterwards we hang out at home, spending the afternoon on the patio with the cats, all 5 of us basking in the warmth. I do remember to apply a liberal amount of sunscreen and cover my now completely bald head with a sunhat.

In the evening we walk over to K and H’s house for dinner. It’s only a 20 minute walk. I’m slow, but make it without struggling. They cook delicious curries and we spend a lovely few hours chatting and eatlng. I don’t mention the 6 month cancer-versary. I just want to let it pass quietly by.
