Hi All,

The Good- I received news from work yesterday that they will support me as much as they can during the treatment period i.e. paid my salary in full. I am so very grateful with this as we i dont have to think of financial issues during this bumpy journey.

The Bad- MRI found another 2 new suspicious lumps and last night me and hubby decided we are not going to go through with egg/embryo feezing. The toughest decision we have to make so far in our 13 years together. I've been strong(ish) since i was diagnosed but last night i broke down and cry. We are supposed to go through our IVF treatment ( received dates and all) but found out i have cancer 2 weeks before procedure :(

Thank you [@Sandra123]‍ for creating this discussion thread.

Bad....none :)

Have a lovely day everyone 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 Sandra.

Garden room won’t be finished yet awhile but when it us I’ll post some pics with the new pond as well. I’ve treated myself to a new suite for the lounge so my old (not so) leather recliners are going down there. Got to sit in luxury. It should be up and running by the start of spring months. Can’t wauut to sit in there and look at the garden. :-)

Morning peeps 

bad :- blinking freezing here. Snow that’s left has turned t ice.

good :- no child care to do so. Duvet day. I’m dressed but gonna watch tv on bed. Crafty day for me nd can spread everything around me on bed lol. Got delivery coming so brought door bell upstairs so don’t miss em ( love that I can move door bell around particularly in summer and I’m in the garden - put it in conservatory..... but oh my it is the most miserable, wingy, whiney sounding bell I’ve ever heard- it has a ..whatever mannnn..sound like a sulky teenager telling me someone is at the door. Lol

anyone ever done decoupage... fancy going all Fahrenheit 451 but instead of burning books tearing em up to decoupage some eggs for my Easter tree.... not sure if should use polystyrene or plastic eggs of if it makes no diff lol. #retirementproblems  

Anywhose.... have as good a day as u can peeps 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.

Ah honestly you will love it sundial. Exactly what I did ... new suite in sitting room nd old one in conservatory. U are right if it’s comfortable it will get used.... lots :-) 

are u getting electrics in it? The lil ones have a play house... son in law asked daughter when he built it.... do u want electrics in it ....no.... are u sure..... yes.... last chance... no. Then the winter came.... can we put electrics in for light nd heating lol. She’s a woman her prerogative gets used all year round tho. X

Hi Sandra

There is already electricity down there, All the pond equipment runs off it and it has irs own supply and board. It needs upgrading, more sockets and lights changing but the supply is there so not a big job. I agree lighting is important and the opportunity for heating if necessary. Hubby is starting a train layout in there so electrics will be needed.  In truth I’ve been talking about converting it since the pond was built. However it was only when the idea of the train layout came up, he said yes, I’m paying for it though. How does that work? :-)

Hi Sandra x

a tree for all events...sounds great! Looking forward to seeing the finished tree :)

radiotherapy starts next Thursday ....also dentist same day :( ....need to do both :(

the wound is looking a lot better, much less angry looking and I can moisturise it now (was told to avoid that bit until antibiotics finished) so I’m sloshing it on and wondering how far to slosh!

Had physio invite today for shoulder prior to RT starting so that’s next Tuesday.

Will look into Netflix, thank you :)

happy crafting day xx
