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

    Bad ...  Had my phone assesment for op today ... She asked bout heart ... I could only guess ... Without a monitor I think it's still going  ; )) .was told I'm having a local anasthetic ... Oh bum just hope I don't jump off operating table when they start ..  ; (( . Long as I don't hear the words pass the scalple...  But said I'm early on the list ... And coz it's local at least I can have a coffee in the morning ...

    Warrior queen ... You take it easy as I did too much and got an infection that had to be drained twice ...  Just coz your brain thinks you can , doesn't mean you can over do it ... Take care ... X

  • The beauty of Wales is free prrscriptions, wonderful! Yeah my tramadol comes from having a rubbish back too! Xx

  • I'll try to behave Chris's! Now no jumping off the operating table unless it's into the surgeons arms after he had finished if he looks like Dr Mcdreamy from Gray's anatomy! Will be thinking of you and be waiting for live broadcast from hospital bed lol xxx

  • Morning! Yeah had better night and just up early and watching cool movie - Odd Thomas. I've read all the books and hadn't realised that had made a film. Am doing my dressings myself as I haven't got a drain in. If all goes well I should be strapping on my tap shoes later and doing a simple low impact lesson. Ballet tomorrow lol. Keeeeeeep on dancing lol x

  • Odd doesn’t look like I pictured him when I read the books- I really enjoyed the film ( love Dean Koontz) - have u read his Frankenstein saga...blinkin brill:-)

    D/n just looked at my dressing then asked a sheet full of very irrelevant questions bless her - I didn’t have a drain either ( good times) my dressing stayed on 7 days ( was told if clean to leave it) then I took it off:-).

    wow Tap dancing :-0... even I wouldn’t have done all that boob bouncing activity lol. Mind u I have all the grace nd elegance of an elephant;-).

    enjoy ya movie:-) x
