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

    Hello , good morning. Well morning for me , lol. It’s nice to  read all this good posts. 

     Good :  my radiation therapy will end next Friday yay ! 

    The Bad: This past few days I have been suffering from what I believe is like anxiety, never had it but I believe that’s what it is I get shortness of breath my chest gets tight then I feel anxious and start thinking about all the things I have to do and if I’m going to accomplish them in if I’m gonna be able to work pay my bills etc. etc. I have also been suffering from my right knee because as  this past few days I have been suffering from what I believe is like anxiety, never had it but I believe that’s what it is I get shortness of breath my chest gets tight then I feel anxious and start thinking about all the things I have to do and if I’m going to accomplish them in if I’m gonna be able to work pay my bills etc. etc. I have also been suffering from my right knee because as  I mentioned before I also have rheumatoid arthritis and I have fluid on my knee and I can barely walk . All that has piled up and I feel like I’m in a  hole when I can’t get out.  I don’t know if I should call my oncologist my general practitioner or my rheumatologist on my God. Sorry peeps to be such a downer on a Sunday but I don’t know who to talk to. :(
