The good and the bad

Hi peeps

I have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. Taking the excellent advice on this website I pretty much started by taking it one day at a time. This does indeed help. 

I thought to share the good and the bad and would love to hear anyone else's should they wish to share.

Today I had both a good and a bad moment. I received 2 letters in the post.

The first was from the hosp confirming my op date (my bad moment) cos my stomach dropped and I had that now familiar feeling of anxiousness take hold for a moment but shook it off cos I know it is needed. 

The good - my 2nd letter - as if... a tax rebate - boom  . Not half put a much needed smile on my face . Reckon a my treat family meal is in order.

Eeee it's the little things ain't it. 

Take care peeps

  • Hi marike

    thank you for dropping by to share I am so sorry to hear you have had twice:-(

    Do u still work marike ( you are a 50s lady like myself so yr pension goal posts will have changed too grrrr). 

     I don’t know why some people ( like me) are fine and others not so much. 

    Hope u have as good a day as u can. X

     

     

     

  • Morning everyone:-)

    The bad...reading  with a heavy heart all the new people posting on here. The pain of coming to terms with diagnosis is so palpable in everyone’s written word I can almost touch it:-(

    The good... the people posting on here giving support to others is heart lifting. Some still in the midst of it “all” and the ones years after the “event” and still coming on here to show others what can b achieved. 

    Have as good a day as you can everyone x 

  • Hi everyone so I go to the doctors this morning to see if I could get to see a doctor to be told I had to wait till the 17th if April which is my operation date so another  receptionist heard me and got me in tomorrow morning had a long sleep this afternoon xx

  • Evening:-)

    oh no sounds like my drs! Mine has a system but if u don’t know it u will never get an appt. 

    At least u have an appt tomorrow now. 

    Glad u slept today grab sleep wherever whenever u can. Your body needs it. Let us know how it goes tomorrow. Here if u need us x

     

  • afternoon ladies ive been the doctors hes given me some iron tablets and he was going to put me on the sick but i told him i would rather work until my operation comes around so fingers crossed these will help xx

  • Afternoon 

    Ah good- fingers crossed they are the boost u need. 

    hope u are feeling in a bit of a better place today. X

     

  • No bad for me today yeahhh:-)

    the good:- had a great day with the granddaughter while other lil one at school...harder shift than work mind;-)

    Love the gadgets in daughters house. Alexa switch table lamp off, Alexa- switch kettle on. Alexa turn heating up to 22. Alexa play grans playlist ( music). Luckily school drop offs nd pick ups are  just under 4 mile walk or might not be able t justify the cake nd biscuits I’ve demolished:-)))

    have as good a day as u can peeps x

  • Once these tablets start to work I should feel better and not tired all the time mind I'm struggling yo keep awake x

  • Lol true but... will b like a house end if don’t even get up yt put kettle on ha ha.

    todays bad... 2 yr old granddaughter diagnosed with  cold urticaria:-) basically if she is warm but touches anything cold ( ie bare feet on tiles or wood floors) she comes out is huge hives ( nearly her full feet going up her legs). Gets them on her face even if warm but a breeze etc. So now on daily doses of antihistamines. Her sister got it around this age too luckily she grew out of it by 4 yrs so hoping lil one will too. Can b very debilitating hoping the antihistamines control it. 

    The good...cold but sun shining. Playing the patient for lil one ( she has her drs coat nd bag nd checking me over:-) stories next ( with cuddles) love family time:-)

    have as good a day as u can peeps x
