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

  • Got my first chat with oncologist on Tuesday! 

    Already been informed they can arrange to have radio tattoos removed on NHS for me ! 

    Just hope my onco type alien is low score fingers crossed! 

    Looks like wee *** cat is going off to heaven today very sad.

    Been at work this morning organising other people's care which is a really good mind set for me.

    Over did it a bit yesterday with 4 mile walk and an hour of high impact tap.

    Got ballet tonight.

    Good royal wedding weekend to you all xxx

    Sad about poor *** cat... 

    Good that you’ve enjoyed work and exercise even if it was a bit much.

    Ballet tonight- you’re a glutton for punishment but you can do my share if you like. Lol.

    Im struggling to walk to the bottom of the garden and back - but then I am an ooooooold lady. I’ve promised that when I’m properly better that’s all going to change. So if I can get my arthritic joints sorted, I might rake up dancing again- something a little more sedate than tap or ballet though.

  • Better news about cat... She's rallying and able to weight bare now fingers crossed! 

  • Everything that is crossable is crossed...

  • Ha way man... took us up threw is down nd then picked me back up again lol ;-) Kitty kat is obviously using up a couple of their 9 lives :-) glad it’s starting too look good bless.

    my 1st visit i met the oncologist nd discussed treatment, possible reactions etc etc. I was then marked up with tats, met radiographer nd had talk with them about what to expect, given tubes of cream nd told to use x 2 a day ( actually used 5/6...nd had no problems with my skin) and given my RT schedule of days and times. I asked for mornings nd they accommodated me on that. Mind u during treatment they were always running behind lol. 

    Will u have results back by Tuesday? Either way everything crossed for them.

    not surprised ya feeling that way, i would feel like that at 18 if I’d done all that nd didn’t have 2 ops under me belt :-)

    look after yourself me dear x
