Yesterday I was flat as a shit carters hat. Having an early morning Dr's appointment on Friday 13th is not a good start.
Made a pact with myself to wake up happy this morning and get active, and i did. Sun shining, beautiful spring day helped.

What a difference the sun shining and not freezing makes to mood - while mine at least and you as well it seems!
So happy mum had her procedure done the day before the debacle at the Austin started. I'm not sure what I could have done with her if they cancelled - being able to breathe is pretty important.
Biopsy results this week - so after a little reprise from anxiety it's back - fingers crossed!!! |

Good stuff with your mum, and yeah, my mood tends to deteriorate over winter. Sunshine makes life worth living.
Had the son and grandson over tonight. Lucky I decided on indoor BBQ and salad for dinner as Sharknado was in his "I didn't have my nap" mood and was a real PITA. Still, great to have them come over.

Doesn't do things by half my mother! Turns out she had a massive myeloid sarcoma related to her AML almost occluding her entire trachea - very rare and looking at the photo I'm absolutely gob smacked she could breathe at all! 
They debaulked but now needs radiotherapy to curb the myeloid infiltration - that's not brilliant but happy it is not stenosis as that's harder to manage.
What made me happy is that she will start radiotherapy for 10 days on Monday so that is brilliant. Not so happy that I will spend the first 2 weeks of my holidays at Peter Mac - don't seem to be able to stay away from Health Services  |

English translation?
I'm guessing cancerous growth near blocking her windpipe?
Hope she's OK. Radio therapy is no picnic, my Dad described it as getting sunburn on a sunburn on a sunburn. he did 6 weeks on his face, did fine for the first 2 weeks, by week 4 he was eating panadeine like lollies and week 6 was swigging morphine syrup from the bottle.

^ sorry so used to speaking in tongues 
She has acute myeloid leukaemia and rarely the myeloid tissue from the bone marrow decides to more or less invade other areas and grow - hence the large tumour that basically grew in her windpipe she also has a small growth in her nostril - same tissue.
Think about looking at a tube that basically has a golf ball size obstruction - there was like a thin crescent that wasn't blocked that was basically her whole airway - never seen anything quite like it and I'm very old and been in this game a long long time
The radiotherapy is not as aggressive as radical treatment which sounds like what your dad had. The treatment planning today included making a under head pillow and a mask that they molded to her face and head that will keep her in the exact position for the treatment. Fascinating and quite brilliant - who comes up with these things!
Much different than the radiotherapy I had many many years ago post cervical cancer.
She is incredible with what she can endure - she really is!! |

Good on her.
Dad had his surgery at Peter Mac in 96. A blind drunken man with a chainsaw would've done less damage (allegedly a plastic surgeon bought in from St V's.) cut his bottom lip off, built a new one and sewed his tongue to it so he'd have a pink bit on his lip once all done.
Then, once he'd healed up, 6 weeks of radio at Peter Mac, on a weekly basis to work around the funding. I'd take him in Monday morning, he'd stay there for the week, I'd pick him up Saturday morning and take him to my place and return him monday. Poor bastard, the kids were 7 and 5 then and he never showed the pain he was going through to them.
Anyway, enough about my past, hope all is good for you and your mum
