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 Sandra, just thinking about getting up! Today's programme consists of lunch with my friend in swansea, ballet tonight and I think some more box sets of Bitten (werewolf series with sexy guys in lol). I met a bit of a celeb last night in tap - a lady who does continuity announcements on BBC TV!

    On the bad side I'm beginning to get worried about my results on tuesday. I just hope my sentinel nodes were ok and that my Geno mapping is good news. Will have to prepare myself to kick some serious alien backside!

  • Hello lovely ladies.

    Firstly please can I apologise for going off grid the last 24 hours.....i needed a bit of time and space to find my positive mental attitude as it was playing a very good game of hide and seek. Anyways, as I am really good at playing hide and seek I eventually found it and all is as it should be. 

    Chrissie and Nikki I am so sorry I did not wish you both well yesterday following your ops. I'm glad you are both doing well.

    Also a welcome to sunshine...nice to have you in the group, although we would all prefer it be under different circumstances.

    So.....the good....the sun is shining. I can raise my elbow above 90 degrees and ive just eaten a chocolate eclair....

    Now the bad....partner saw his consultant today and now his foot and lower leg are in plaster....

    But the good.....partner is the hands and I am the feet....together we make a whole
