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 

Sandra x ️X

 

  • Hi dragonfly...waiting for app ointment to come through. They said I would be seen before Xmas so that's good in a way but if it's bad news I don't want it to ruin my Xmas. Mixed emotions. I'm quite friendly with my breast care nurse so will maybe give her a call Monday to see if results are on the system x

  • Morning peeps 

    bad :- none yay!

    good :-  nothing like the smell of a tangerine to get u feeling Christmasy :-)

    daughter finished last of this years exams. 1 online nd 2 written - got aother distinction - well proud. 

    Yesterday opened cupboard door nd my lil £1 tree I used t use on desk at work (before retirement) fell out...awwwww. Dont care if its nostalgia....pimped it up nd...It’s a keeper ️

  • Morning ladies. Very cold so stay warm.

    Glad to hear when results come back of not spreading. Dizzle - keep going. You got this. It's been checked and I know easier said than done but try to keep busy and do something you really enjoy. It is what it is and beyond your control. I cannot even imagine what you must be going thru but you got this. 

    It's tough when our worst fears come to the forefront of our minds and we are constantly reminded about cancer with the familiar pains and all the tests with worry about results. But we are here so let's enjoy each day regardless of the pain we have both physically and mentally.

    You ladies are amazing and if we didn't have the strength, this wouldn't happen to us. So try to adjust your crown and soldier on!

    Enjoy your day ladies and keep warm.xx

  • Sorry dizzel what have I missed ( gone back a few pages nd last I saw was all was ok nd waiting t start radiotherapy). What results are u waiting for ? So sorry I missed this x

  • Ah sorry Sandra. Just I been having a similar dull aching pain but on the opposite side so went for an ultrasound yesterday and she found a shadow she didn't like the look of (her words) so had 3 biopsies. Again another waiting games. Just wanted a nice worry free Xmas and there's always something that gets in the way it seems. It could be nothing but you know when you can tell by someone's face....it was a really sympathetic, poor you, really sorry for you face. Seen it all before. Just pray it isn't bad news x

  • Ah bless I didn’t know ️

    I will add my prayers to yours lass.  I’m surprised they didn’t give u a date for the results mind. If u hear nothing I would definitely give your nurse a ring.... it’s the waiting that’s the pits . 

    Sending the biggest of hugs lass ️ X

     

     

  • Life just comes along and bites us on the bum, doesn’t it! So sorry Dizzle. But at least they’re onto it. You can do this. Just give your head chance to catch up,

    A humungous hug....
