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

 

  • My appointment is next wed too....will be thinking of you.....yes, we just need to get on and do it don't we....I hope and pray for a good positive way forward for you xxx

  • Morning peeps 

    hope u got some rest last night Marlyn ️ Dragonfly hows things with u.. hope hubby is feeling better ️

    Bad :- cold but let’s face it I’ve got plenty of coats lol

    good :- gonna pack for few days away... looking forward to it. Other daughters boss has offered her use of their cabin as a long weekend freebie.  So her, hubby nd lil ones are off there for a few days too ( it’s a rather posh one, on lake front, done out reallly fancy with jacuzzi, log fire etc) I’d have been with them like a shot if not already away lol. Nice gesture from her boss. 

    Have as good a day as u can peeps x

  • Morning peeps,

    the bad.....woke up with a banging headache.....yuk 

    the good.....got appointment mon to see about getting my eyebrows done and another appointment thurs to try on wigs.... do I go for the manroe glamour look or the miss money penny look??? Replies on a postcard please xxxx

  • Morning

    I would go for the disreputable and have a purple one!

    Sundial

  • Bless ... the headache will b stress. I too got banging headaches nd my mind went t dark places thinking all sorts.....no.... it was stress.  Things will settle down.. often when we get our actual treatment plan. Will b thinking of u nd dragonfly on Wednesday ️

    Well the hair....u do suit your dark hair. I would get my brows done first( shape nd colour of brows can totally change our look)  then buy the wigs I suit. Not often we get t choose .... any colour and style for our hair ... embrace :-) I go t hairdressers with a picture nd say.. cut my face like that ;-) x

     

  • Yes! The purple will match my eye bags..lol , think I will defo be rocking that look! Xxxc

  • Yes, it is stress, I actually slept better last night....but oh by eck this morning!! But Jeremy Kyle cheered me up no end...

    yes, thought the eyebrows were a good starting point, they will be micro bladed(!) sounds worse than chemo lol! Xx

    ps loving your flowers xx

     

  • Thank you Sandra. Hubby much better although not fully recovered.

    Strangely I am feeling worse about things - swings and roundabouts.

    I have discovered my dear children do not want to talk about my condition and it doesn’t help that they are both 3 hours away.

  • I am so sorry to hear your children don't want to talk about your condition, that's a tough one to get your head around.

  • Hi Guys

    It's been a while since I popped by so thought I would drop in and say Hiya to you lovely lot.

    Hello to anyone new :)

    So I had my mastectomy & full lymph nodes removed the week before Christmas. Appointments after appointments, sick of seeing the bloody place.ha.

    Today was my first chemo! I tried the cold cap and wanted to rag my own head off half way through but I persevered. God really knows how I did!

    1 down. 5 to go. 

    Loving your little crafts Sandra! On with Easter decor already, you are organised! Hope everything is still going well with you dizzle. ️

    The good : First chemo under the belt

    The bad: Waiting for the side effects to kick in

    Love to all ️ ️
