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 ... you must be poorly not having your grandkids ... lots of R & R and masses of T L C is the order of the day ... you take care ...

     

  • Good, you’re resting. Now be a good girl and rest some more!

  • Oh well, the good, last bit of outside painting completed so good to go as far as putting house up for sale goes. 

    The bad, had to have the drains unblocked, gross, not to

    mention expensive!

  • Morning peeps 

    day 5 of the lurgy nd def on mend. Done the school run but missed the park out. Still coughing but head no longer feels like it’s gonna explode with each cough... yay. Not sure if getting old, weakened by treatment , a wuss or just a bad virus but blimey this not half floored me ... bizarrely the slightest soppy thing on tv had me filling up too!! Anywhose best foot forward nd all that :-)

    Oh no Rileyroo bless hard lines on the blocked drain :-(  My garden main drain blocked but daughter asked on Facebook if anyone had drain rods nd was surprised at how many blokes said they did nd were happy to bring em nd clear it for the  s**** & giggles of it all. I kid u not the one that came landed with a van full of friends nd the all looked like excited  kids. Took them an hour but did the job. They were lovely... no charge nd told me no bother if it happens again they were happy to come back. Fbook working at its best :-) 

    Not heard from Liliana or beachbabe for a while... how u doing lasses... hope all is well with u both? 

    Have as good a day as u can peeps x

     

     

  • Hello ladies sorry haven’t been on here but have been keeping an eye on you all but not writing anything. I have had to go back to doctors today as I found another lump in my right breast. Hands up I found it 2nd July and kept an eye on it as didn’t want to appear paranoid about it. After a shower today I thought this can’t go on need to get it checked. Doctor said as I had a mammogram not long again (April) shouldn’t be anything but she could feel it although small. She’s getting in touch with the consultant to see if he wants to leave it or see me but she said probably would relook at my first mammogram. Any advise ladies would be great x 

  • Hi hun

    so sorry to b reading this :-( You however know better than most there is a very high possibility this is nothing rather than something. That being said I bet u r worried sick.

    I can’t remember  (sorry) was it yr right breast last time. U have been very diligent finding it nd if the same side as last time I am amazed cos the feel of mine has changed so much I struggle to baseline what it’s supposed to even feel like now never mind identifying something different- nd yr op was more recent than mine! 

    I wouldn’t b surprised if the consultant want to see u again for your peace of mind more than anything else. 

    Once again u find yourself with a wait bless. Hope u hear soon and I have everrrrything crossed for u. Sending huge hugs hun nd u know we r always here for u ️ X

  • Thank you, it’s right this time was left last time. I am holding on to the thought it was April I had mammogram although didn’t have ultrasound on that side, but still not long ago. Just feels different as well more solid and not movable. It is smaller than last one though. So for the moment I am firmly back in that emotional rollercoaster x

  • I bet bless I would b exactly the same hun ️. Try to remember all the wonderful advice you have given other knowing that what u were saying was absolutely true.... most lumps r not cancer.  Did u have an MRI on ya boobs too? X

  • [@Beachbabe]‍ , I'm like you , been following everyone but not writing anything. I'm praying for you and hoping its nothing important. I know this rollercoaster we go thru and it's not fun. best wishes. 

     

    xoxo
