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

  • Hi Dragonfly xxx

  • Ah bless lass. When we say do things to keep your mind busy we most certainly did not expect this. You must b exhausted. I so hope things improve soon and your husband is on the mend. 

    Hope you can get some much needed rest today. Thinking of u ️X ️

     

  • Hi Dragonfly

    Hypo attack’s in the middle of the night are very scary for everyone. I’ve been type 1 diabetic for 58 years and it’s happened to me only twice where paramedics were needed. I usually wake up before it gets too bad. I bet your husband will sleep for most of the day whilst you try ... with one eye open to make sure he’s ok.  Diabetics and their families just get on with it and as I have yfound with very little support from the medics. When I was undergoing my cancer treatment, my gp would not refer  me back to the hospital because my blood tests were good ( before the treatment). I see a specialist nurse at my gp who is only available one morning a week so she was neither use nor ornament.  I pretty much had to sort it out myself despite two serious incision infections and dangerously high blood sugar after my second op, Ah well after all these years I should know what I’m doing but it would have been better with a little support.
