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

  • Hello my dear friends,  first I wanna apologize for being a way for sometime but my finances have been being really good so I’ve been working like crazy trying to make ends meet  

     Plus my health problems keep piling up .I am so depressed I need a little bit of words of Encourrangement .  Last Friday I had a very big chest pain and it was too way up on my chest I didn’t think it was my heart so I took two aspirins went to sleep felt a little better in the morning but the pain didn’t go away so I decided to go to the hospital where they did an EKG and at first they said everything was OK but when I looked at the EKG report it said I had a myocardial infarction !!!!  Anyway I left the hospital because I was there 24 hours a day didn’t do anything it was by then it was Sunday afternoon so I decided to leave the hospital in the next morning I went to my doctor and he sent me to the cardiologist where they did another EKG it showed something on my heart but not the same as in the hospital so now I am waiting to have a stress test and an ultrasound and a holster for 24 hrs. Anyway cardiologist said my heart sounded OK but we need to do the tests.  And today I have to go to my surgeon  to see the results of my six month ultrasound of my breast  ,  and I am so nervous about that . 

    I hope the results are good news!!! 

    I will update you guys this afternoon. 

    I see we have new friends on the chat , I want to welcome everyone and send you a very warm friendly hug!!

  • Hi Liliana I hope the results are good. We are with you all the way!

  • Thank you Dragonfly. I’m at the surgeons office waiting to go inside . Nervous as heck 

  • Hi Liliana x

    hoping you have good news xxx 

    big hugs xxx

  • Hey liliana I do hope results were ok. Hang in there - we are here with you.

    Finances are the evil of our lives - if we could just have to take care of ourselves and not worry about money it would make it easier but reality is not as such. But work also makes us get up, get out and keep moving. 

    All you ladies going thru treatment  - you got this.

    Enjoy your day and stay well ladies.

  • Thank you everyone, great news , Doc said  results are normal and healing great and no seromas . All fluid is gone and I couldn’t be happier!!!! You guys have been and continue to be great friends and such an awesome group and support!!  I want to hug everyone of you and to everybody going through treatment hang in there there’s light at the end of the tunnel  . 

     

    Now I  will have to wait for my test for my heart which I don’t think that’s going to be a big deal.  I’m not that worried about that one just wanted to give everybody the great news  

    Yey!!!  I’m gonna sleep tonight  :) 

     

    xoxo
