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

  • Morning all,

    bad-on my way to chemo although it’s the last bit of the horrible FEC chemo then they change my drugs for next 5 rounds so not all bad

    have a lovely happy positive day ladies xx

  • Morning all....dizzle well done girl. Fingers crossed the new chemo will be kinder to you as I know it's been a rough road so far.

    The good; daughter had her stitches out last night.

    The bad; really feeling knackered with the change in routine following my return to work part time. 

    Positive thoughts being sent to all today. X

  • Afternoon all

    Good

    Got nice clean teeth at the dentist. Feel lovely. Ready for next battering with oxygen tube, lol. At least I’ll have a nice smile for my lovely surgeon on Monday. Although I doubt he’ll be looking at my teeth. :-)

    Bad

    Nothing of any great significance. Just feel a bit down today. Want Monday over and done with.

    Sundial

  • It’ll be here soon. Only three full days left to wait. 

  • Afternoon peeps 

    thinking of our sundial nd beachbabe who both in waiting mode. We all know how sucky that is bless.

    pleased yr house is on market now Rileyroo  ( I know it’s something you have been itching to do. Kudos to u too for all the hard work u have put in t get it ready... hopefully u can kick back a bit... at least till u get yr new place. U r right ... yr son is def not having any luck bless him. All we can do is support them. It’s work vans getting broken into around here. Stops the ability to work if their tools are taken... just not right... any of it. 

    Cornish lass if it feels like it’s too much have a couple of more wks off. Better to nip in the bud than get yourself really low... make no mistake u have been through a lot. Sending hugs ️

    The good:- looking after lil one while son inlaw nd daughter work on their extension... there will b a divorce if they keep going.... all over a hole they r digging lol. Lil one napping ️

    the bad :-  none yay.

    Have as good a day as u can peeps x

  • Morning peeps 

    the good:- at daughters got lil one. Delighted t say no divorce lol. They amazingly have got all the drainage, water, electrics, waterproof membrane nd insulation in place ready for the cement floor to go in on Saturday... so proud of them. 

    The bad :- none yay!

    have as good a day as u can peeps x

  • The Bad- just phoned the hospital as haven’t heard anything and they know nothing about my new lump!! They have just phoned my doctors and was told they were going to “seek advise” but haven’t done anything!!! The secretary wasn’t happy and told them it’s a new case I should have been referred not seek advise on! They are now referring me so should hear early part of next week. I just can’t believe it. 

    The Good- hurrah for sensitive secretary! 

  • Oh for god sake! I hate hospitals making mistakes. It’s peoples lives they’re messing with! Makes me really angry. I hope it all gets sorted for you xx

  • Omg that’s appalling 

    Of course it should have been a 2 wk wait referral....idiots.

    so glad u have rung! I did not realise they had not done it as a 2 wk wait....but to add insult t injury they have done nothing...unbelievable :-(

    glad u will b sorted soon hun ️X

  • I pray it’s just a cyst but if it isn’t they better watch out as it’s a week that’s been wasted! Hospital were great it’s gp surgery that’s at fault! Not sure if I want to scream or cry at moment x
