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'm sure you will all adore the baby whatever happens and he's sure to be a resilient little boy if he's anything like his grandma!

  • Make sure you elevate those legs when you're sitting down and compression stockings could help (the flight socks type) if you can stand them on.

  • Hey Sandra, 

    You can come and sort my hammer house of horrors out after you've done your place! You're obviously the next Anna Ryder Richardson ;-)

    WQ xx

  • Most definately warrior. He's very much wanted and waite for. Hopefully the scan next week will give more in depth info about the extent of the problem. Hope you are doing well. I know you are or have had a scan recently. Did this go ahead?

  • Congratulations Cornish!

    Good and bad.....results day. Could go either way. Will find out if I have to have radiotherapy today. Got about an hours sleep last night. Brain Just can't switch off. Sooner 3pm comes the sooner I'll know what I'm dealing with. Fingers crossed.

    Have a lovely day all x

  • Morning ladies.

    Dizzle hope appt goes ok.

    WQ - this is the worst wait. I got my results via appt with consultant and they only do that if sthg is wrong otherwise it's via letter so I was convinced it was really bad. Sigh....what we do to ourselves. It'll be ok and you got this. It's human to be pessimistic. It took me months to cope with fact that I'm ok and every little issue wasn't cancer coming back. Keep busy.

    Sundial glad to hear you're ok and swelling will be sorted.

    Congrats Cornish- it is very difficult seeing our children upset but it can be fixed and baby will be tough like it's granny so it'll all be ok. Your daughter has you so she'll make it thru this.

    Life throws many curveballs at us. Sometimes it's just unfair and so sh**. But we soldier on!

    Hope everyone enjoys their day. Stay warm.

  • Hi all

    Thanks to everyone one for their kind posts. Yes feel a bit better about swollen feet. I’ve just got to convince my gp to change tablets, :-(. Let battle commence,

    WQ Keep fighting....

    Cornish. Congrats. I’m sure the little fella will battle through just like his granny.

    Dizzle. My thoughts are with you. These late appointments are hell! Hope everything turns out well.

    Good

    Im alive and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Yay.

    Bad

    None of any significance. All doable but very moanable (not a word I know but it  so fits those irritating little problems). Isn’t it funny how we don’t moan about the big problems just get on with it!

    Hope everyone can find something good in their day,

  • Morning dizzel....everything crossed for u ...good luck me dear.... nearly there ️

  • Ah sundial I’m sure u will persuade yr gp ... I had swelling for about 6 mths but just if I did a lot of walking ( 4-5 miles) then it just stopped happening ( like many things can tell u when started but no idea when it actually stopped lol).

    my girls said I had gran feet....well I am a gran so no argument from me but did give them the evils ;-)

    hope u get sorted soon  x

     

  • Eeee congrats t u nd yrs Cornish. Of course your daughter is upset her motherly instinct has kicked in already ️ It’s so easily treatable. Lil one will not know or care nd will b sorted before he is of an age to. X
