This was the name of the television programme that was on last night as I sat at this very computer contemplating what to put in my latest blog update. The programme was about women who had large breasts and weren't happy about it, so they underwent cosmetic surgery to get them reduced. Needless to say I was never contacted to appear on the show. However, it did make me rethink this whole 'cancer' thing. And I have decided to rebrand. I'm not having surgery to remove cancer from my body. I'm having cosmetic surgery to remove my thymus (having one is soooooo 2009) and then additional cosmetic surgery to have half of my liver removed because it's too big. Just like those lovely ladies last night with their big breasts.
We met with the registrar oncologist yesterday who confirmed that the first of my cosmetic surgeries (thymus removal) will take place within the next couple of weeks. A brief recovery period of a few weeks will follow (typical for that particular kind of cosmetic surgery) then my liver reduction surgery. The recovery from my second round of cosmetic surgery will again take a couple of weeks. Once this is all over (which will be soon - I promise!) I'm not sure I'll be getting a call from the BBC asking to appear in a documentary called 'My Liver is Too Big'. And my breasts are just fine thanks.
