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 

Sandra x ️X

 

  • Hi Liliana 

    bless deep breaths. You know the process well ..... guess it’s back to waiting where you hope for the best nd prepare for the worst but... with the knowledge that most lumps nd bumps are not cancer. I will keep everything crossed for u nd send the biggest of hugs x

  • Hi Sundial 

    good to hear you are sleeping well...goes a long way to helping you heal. Might need to get me some of those fans :-) x

  • Evening peeps 

    the good :- went swimming with the lil ones today then food after.

    tomorrow my 2 yr old lil one becomes 3 :-). I used to make all the bday cakes but daughter is taking over that task now. I used to make all the figures with fondant but the last few cakes we have stopped cos well.... they r pure sugar. Instead put toys on cake nd they can play with them after but still have enough sugar in the cake. Peppa pig is lil ones pic this yr. 

    the bad:- none yay x

     

  • Hi Sundial, I want it to see  how you doing. I don’t know if your surgery is today ? 

    Well , I’m wising and praying that everything goes well for you . You deserve it . I am keeping you in my prayers. Me I have an appointment this coming Thursday for a pet CT scan to check that lump on my arm pit. The radiology  oncologists told me it’s probably post op fluids but he wants to make sure and rule out any malignancy, however I’m scared of the pet Scan in finding cancer somewhere else. You know how that goes they more they look there more stuff they find .  Already have some other couple of things to deal with it like rheumatoid arthritis . :( 

     Whenever you feel like it drop a couple nights to see how you’re doing please I’m sending you a bear hug

  •  Hi Sundial, I wanted to see how you were doing I believe you had surgery today is that correct? Just wanted to check on you see how you’re feeling. I am keeping you in my prayers and hope that everything goes fine for you. About me I have an appointment for a pet scan for next Thursday to check that lump on my arm pit. My RO Thanks it’s post op fluid collection but he wants to make sure. So I don’t know how soon I’m going to get the results I’m pretty sure it’s not going to be next day so I probably have to wait until the other week.  so when I thought I was halfway through and ready for my radiation here we go again, I’m so afraid of them finding cancer somewhere else, you know how that goes they mind they look way more stuff they were fined and I already have a couple of other things going on like rheumatoid arthritis .  Please when you have time or you feel like it let us know how you’re doing drop a couple lines here. 

     

     I’m sending you a bear hug

  • Oh Cornishpastie,  I now, when I was getting used to the idea of having my radiation and then my hormone therapy here we go again the waiting , nervousness the not eating the crying .  It’s going to be a long week for me. let me know how you’re doing ?  So you don’t have a beach near you? Come to LA, I have an extra bedroom and the beach 15 minutes away Lol

  • Hi Liliana
