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

  • warriorqueen, Glad you are having that checked out, I'm sure you'll be ok but better be safe. Stay possitive. :)

  • [@Dizzle82]‍ keeping everything crossed for you; yes life does seem unfair at times!

     

  • Good afternoon to all my dear friends I have been away from the chat but thinking about you guys and saying to my self that you guys might think I have forgotten about you. But no, I have been so busy at work and also with my Airbnb It has been overwhelming!

    I went to Las Vegas for 3 days and I had to take my laptop with me , to continue working part of the time from my hotel room, gggrrrr. :( so I didn't feel like I was relaxing at all . 

    I try to take a little vacation" to rest because I"m feeling soooo exhausted I didn't know what was wrong with me and I just thought I was overworked, I'm probably are, and also dizzy so I started to get worried, thinking oh oh, more cancer? well now I'm reading the side effects of the Tamoxifen and those are some of the side effects. What am I going to do? 

    I need to work, can't stop.I take my vitamins, try to eat healthy,but nothing seems to work. Has any of you has any magic potion there somewhere?

  • Sandra...you've got to watch S Discovery of Witches...tall dark handsome vampires lol! 

  • Hey Liliana!  Some of what you experiencing are also the side effects from radiotherapy. Your body is in the rebuilding phase now and that takes a lot of doing physically. It can be draining. It does get better, I’ve been there but in a lot of ways this is the hard part of radiotherapy now. 

  • Hey liliana I have been coping with those symptoms up to now - 18 months post treatment. Been dr's and my consultant and they tell me what rileyroo has said. Tried everything as like you need to get myself working, etc.

    My blood tests reveal I'm healthy as a horse so I'm afraid we have to listen to our bodies which is the hardest lesson of all. Your life has changed for the time being so you're going to have to slow it down temporarily. I'm getting better in the sense of more good days than not. Eating healthy helped me - little but often and exercise. It's the most frustrating bit.

    Dizzle gorjus pic! Crossing everything for you.

    Hope all the rest of you are doing ok. Enjoy your day - sunny but cold here in London.

  • Afternoon all.

    Liliana hope you’re feeling better soon. 

    Rileyroo I i feel absolutely whacked most days at some point and I only had three sessions of internal RT.

    Dizzle you always look stunning and your daughter obviously takes after her mum.

    Good

    Off to Southampton in about an hour for overnight stay before cruise to canaries starts tomorrow. :-)

    Bad

    Packing has just about floored me. Haven’t even got the energy to get clothes changed.lol

    Have a good two weeks everyone. I have internet access whilst I’m away so I’ll orobably check in now and then.

    Bon voyage!
