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

  •  I am so sorry you feeling down and I can relate to that. I don’t know what to say I  wish I was closer so I could hug you and give you strength just try to think positive I know it’s not easy but try. I know we all got our ups and downs I’m like you right now also with my new scan to see if something new showed up so I’m not very upbeat myself today but I just want to send you a big hug .

  • Let’s do cyber hugs :-)  i’ll Be ok just a down moment. Nothing a bacon sandwich won’t sort lol xx

  • Hey there! My cousin went thro the same, she’s now six months post all surgery (she had some more later for an unrelated problem) and is starting to lose the weight she put on because of the steroids, her hair has grown back, I like it better than before but she doesn’t so it’s going back to the status quo and her eye brows are back, she’s complaining about having to do them! Life can go on!

     

    are there any Look good, feel better sessions in your area?

  • Good luck Beachbabe, we’re all with you. 

  • Thank you ladies, had about an hour sleep but least I will see my doctor today and a step in right direction. I am crying writing this emotional rollercoaster kicked in big time last couple of days. Joining you in the cyber hug thinking of you all xx 

  • Yeh I went to one a few weeks ago. The goodie bag they give is amazing! Lancôme, Chanel, benefit, Clinique! The counter I usually bypass to go the collection 2000 range lol! I’m just having a funny five minutes. I’ll be ok. I just get times every now and then when I feel sorry for myself. As if I haven’t been through enough. Was in a domestic violent relationship for 2 years and he nearly killed me. Was on life support and he went to prison as I plucked up the courage to face him in court and give evidence. I thought that was my test for life and now gods thrown cancer at me to twist the knife! Sorry I’m just so bitter today. Ignore me lol xx

  • Hey Dizzle we don’t want to ignore you! Sending you a big hug. You are doing so well, it’s a blip get that fighting spirit going you have come so far. You kicked that awful mans butt now it’s cancers butt. You look so lovely in that photo you shared. Xx

  • LOVE the cyber Hug idea . Here it goes

  • Hey beachbabe good luck today. Fingers crossed it's nothing and you can move forward hun.

    Dizzle.....if you can't feel down and sorry for yourself at times, no one can. You go right ahead and get it out. Can I just say though that you did make me chuckle when you said you looked like an egg, then guilty for laughing as I know I would hate it myself. Get that lovely new war paint out girl and glam yourself up, get yourself out there and tell yourself how beautiful you are....because you are.

    Liliana Thursday will be here before you know it hun. Almost there. Keep going x

  • I think we are all allowed to feel down once in a while and like you said to get it out, I want to send a hug to everybody and thank you for the good words.  I want will have my pet scan on Thursday and hopefully I can get the results Friday but I don’t think so it’s too soon. 

     

    Xoxo
