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

  • Brill on the healings front def quicker than last time. 

    I know waiting for important news as always is scary nd will drag yet b here before I know it. Keeping everything crossed for good news for you. 

    Lol you have painted such a good picture with your words of your pond I can almost see it :-) poor monty... cats used to sit on the high wall tantalising my dog lol. 

     

  • Lol lemondrizzle u r right had a go heh heh.

    well in short...no mine doesn’t sound hollow :-/

    mind u I didn’t base line pre op so don’t actually know if it’s different to before ;-)

    When I had my irritation from the 1st biopsy I just kept it clean nd kept moisturerising cream off it. Try not to scratch.. I noticed when I did ( even though it felt good to :-) the area was more raised nd would seem to get bigger. If too bad have a word with gp and ask if there is anything you can put on it. I didn’t go t gp cos found leaving it well alone it cleared up ... mind u it still lasted a couple wks before it finally went. Still can’t believe your team didn’t act on the info you gave the .... sigh.

     

  • No koi pond debacle is not good. Workman arrive ar 9-30 and are gone by 3 with an hour down tools for lunch. When we asked boss man he said they were paid for travel time as well. Mind you the mechanical digger was invoiced for three days and it’s been here a week. Again we queried this and were told that’s their problem not ours, Now the human diggers are complaining that they’ve got to hand dig two long deep trenches to the tap and drain because the digger has gone back! Well if they’d got their finger out and worked a bit harden or for longer then well....... Other problem is that they’ve moved our fish from the old pond to a temporary tank because the old pond is being used as a chamber for all the filtration system. The tank is the other side of the hole! There is a very very narrow walkway at the side of the hole which hubby or son have to balance along to feed the fish. I can’t get down there so I have to rely on hubby videoing them. Lol.

  • Blimey 4 nd a half hour work shift where on earth r they travelling from t yrs! Hope u have not pd up front nd only pay them the agreed price. 

  • Surely will. Travel time we reckon should be no more than an hour each way even in traffic.so I suppose that would make seven and half hours minus lunch.

  • That's excellent news Liliana! It's time to relax and take it one day at a time. 

    Hope the rest of you ladies are doing ok.

    I'm back at work and still jetlagged after hols! Sigh....wish I was back there. Nevermind am very happy I had my holiday and spent good quality family time together. Spent a fortune but we'll worth every penny.

    The heat hopefully is dissipating so maybe sleep and commuting will be easier.

    Keep going ladies. You got this!
