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

  • Morning ladies. Xmas is whenever you want it. No right or wrong in my opinion. I sit on train and have watched xmas films on Netflix on my phone and commute is bearable.

    Going thru menopause with this tamoxifen so bleed heavy every 6 weeks - what is this bs? Was so happy last year feb when they stopped altogether. Making me feel awful right before and during.

    It's getting colder now - winter is coming so stay warm and stay well ladies.

  • My tree usually goes up the first weekend in December and comes down the day after Boxing Day. It’s a Christmas tree, once Christmas is over, it’s down. 

  • Afternoon all I used to love Christmas when the kids were little then years of doing Christmas in school, then not doing it but fighting to do.something has just rubbed the shine off it, Tradition In our household used to be that daughter and I decorate tree a couple of weeks before Christmas singing Christmas carols and usually watch a Christmas film afterwards. Now she’s not living at home so we try to grab a chance when she visits. We still have all of us here for Christmas lunch which Is cooked by my son. Good relaxing day on Christmas Day. :-) Sundial

    aw it’s lovely to hear everyone’s Christmas tree traditions ️ Mine goes up 1 st December nd down the day after Boxing Day :-) putting up tree tradition has changed over the yrs. when my girls were little the girls had bath said prayers beside the real tree and the Xmas fairy decorated it for them for when they woke up. As time went on... They they helped decorate. Then we drank baileys as we decorated then they had their own home nd tree to decorate so I do it myself now. Tree has morphed from a huge real tree to a huge artificial to a small real potted to this year it will b an led twigtree :-) 

    oh how times change eh :-) x
