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

  • Well said everyone. 

    Dizzel I’m putting my mam hat on here nd saying you bliddy well get that hosp rung now and get your treatment appointments sorted. You are doing this for yourself and your daughter get that hosp rung now!

    Men.... honestly feel like putting me coat on coming over  nd slapping some sense into him! After hospital sorted ring him and ask him to come over and talk.... at the very least get him to look after the dog if needed. 

    Relationship problems are heart wrenching at the best of times so hardly surprising you are feeling the way you are. You are beautiful in mind, spirit and body....don’t you ever doubt that lass. He may be giving time to let the dust settle but at the very least he should have contacted you to apologise for being a ****. 

    C’mon lass like the lovely Jbains so wonderfully phrased it..... pull ya big girl pants up and get on  seeing to you nd yours ️

    Virtal mam hugs lass ️

  • Hi all,

    Well I was rushed to hospital last night as have a serious infection in my boob. Apparently my blood infection markers are supposed to be a single number but mine was in the 300s. In absolute agony as well as a broken heart. Jamie has seen all my messages and not bothered with one reply. Guess his silence speaks volumes. .staying overnight on  antibiotic drip. Don't need this along with everything else :-(

  • Hi lass

    not the best news but relieved t hear from u. ️..... at least you are being cared for by the best. Hurry up nd get well. 

    Deep breaths on the Jamie front. You are strong and can deal with this. So wish we all lived close to b there for you. We will have t settle  for virtual rallying around you. We are here. 

    One of the things my ex husband was saying to anyone who would listen when we first separated all those yrs ago was “she (me) is only managing so well to get at me”.  No - I never needed him..... I wanted him! .... then not so much even that.

    Hope things work out but if they don’t u show  him ...u don’t need him u want him...u can and will get on with life if that’s the way it goes ️

    U take care lass and get well soon ️ X

     

     

     

     

  • Dizzle right there with Sandra- virtual hug and loads of strength.

    I'm glad you're being cared for and I know the infection isn't what you need but you got this. You are a strong woman and I think you're doing great. File those emotions away and concentrate on getting better and your health. He has the problem - not you. Dealing with that is second - first priority is you and recovering. Perhaps try and get some counselling whilst in hospital to help deal with this if that's what will help. 

    We are here for you and with an army as you have behind you (meaning us) you can do this. One day at a time.

    Big massive virtual hug.xz

  • Dizzle so sorry you are going through this.

    As the others aid we are right behind you.

    i am just seeing how difficult my husband of 50 years is finding this cancer thing.

    Concentrate on you and the rest will sort itself out one way or another.

    Sending you love and best wishes. Xx

  • My ex came out with a similar comment when we split up. He said to his sister that I wouldn’t be able to cope without him, well, while he’d been with his other woman every evening after work for six months (told me he was as work, rang him one evening and was told he’d gone home an hour ago, clang, clang, alarm bells) I’d been working part time, doing all the house jobs and bringing up two young children one of whom had severe asthma and was getting a perforated ear drum every couple if weeks due to ear infections, yeah of course I wouldn’t cope. It was easier when he left.

    I am behind you too. I’ll even move in front in virtual protection mode if you want...

    Concentrate on you at the moment. Beat that infection, get your radiotherapy sorted and arrange some  counselling if you think talking to someone will help. You are your priority so as Jbains says  try to shelve those emotions and issues and concentrate on getting your strength back. Then you will be ready to face whatever is to come.  I agree it is Jamie with the problem and maybe he needs to square all this with himself before he contacts you. Silence doesn’t always mean not caring, it sometimes means I care too much and I know I’ve f***** up!
