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

  • Afternoon peeps 

    bless jbains I think the will it come back will always be chipping away at our thoughts but even more so when waiting on results... got everything crossed for u ️

    WQ I wouldn’t give a .... what occ health did or didn’t say...yr own gp trumps them anywhose. So.. do the hours on the timescale u need to. You are the important one in all this nd only u know how u feel. So 2 big hand digits up to them ;-0 :-)

    the good :- everyone enjoying Scarborough. FaceTime call last night and this morning ( sure they are just checking I am alive lol).

    the bad :- Greggs used to do a French salad sandwich which I loved... I must have been the only one cos they don’t now. So... thought look on Pinterest nd see what’s in it ( tbh had a fair idea lol) they called it Irish Egg Salad. So off t shops I went... back home.... as soon as I put my bags down on bench I knew I had forgotten the eggs! Of all the stuff u could put into it the eggs is the biggy.... sigh. Have pie nd mushy peas instead lol.

    electric board rang yesterday ( I need my backboard changed... literally a piece of hardboard 30cm by 50 cm ) because electric  feeds into next door from mine and they won’t give access because they are moving nd don’t want anyone in the house ( I get that) the electricity board have said they have raised a work order to dig up the road on the corner (outside my other neighbors) and will cut off from their while they change my board... remember 40 by 50 cm piece of hardboard. Anywhose they are coming end of October to do cos that’s how long will take to get works order nd road dug up. All cos I’m getting a smart meter installed.... couldn’t make it up!

    have a goodin peeps x

    Oh Sandra, bet you little ones are really missing their nanny ... mine are in Turkey right now .. and I've got "emily" withdrawal ... nearly brought a ticket to go see her for a nanny hug ... so it won't be too long and they'll be back woo hoo .. x

  • Ouch that looks like it needs steri strips! Jbains....thoughts are with you x

    good - had date day yesterday at Go Ape. Chemo has messed with my muscles as I’d usually fly round something like that but struggled but finished the course never the less. Ended up with a few drinks and kebab :-)

    bad - ex is in new relationship and my little one is making his life a misery as she’s jealous of her and her little girl who’s the same age as her. She wants her daddy all to herself.....so this is gonna be an ongoing battle methinks! 

    Hope ur all having a lovely bank holiday x

  • Yes it's all strapped up with glue and steri strips now after a 3 hour visit to the hospital. 

    Bless your daughter dizzle. It will be a challenging time ahead for all. She will probably need lots of extra affection from her dad so she doesn't eventually feel like it's a competition. Never an easy road when families merge.

  • Aw ladies - thank you so so much. With all this positivity of course they'll be fine!

    Yes the fear is there but itll be whatever it'll be.

    Ouch - that looks like that hurt big time! Be very careful of airborne infections.

    I hate when that happens and know what you mean Sandra. Hopefully they'll bring it back. 

    Had a Starbucks- man it felt good! After hols and my son being here where we've been out and about and eating not healthily I have put on too much weight! Shall lose some weight crying my eyes out tmrw when son leaves. Sigh......

    Enjoy your weekend ladies and take care.x

  • Good lovely walk on Brecon beacons today.

    Bad nothing! 

    Oh Cornish that's a nasty cut, I should have popped round and bandaged you up! 

    WQ x
