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

  • Oh no :-( yet another sad story due to this horrible illness. They are becoming far too often for my liking. It's annoying when you see horrible nasty evil people walking round all healthy and decent people get hit with all this. Life is unfair as we've all come to realise.

    Sundial hope your husband is ok

    Just wanted to ask any ladies who have had radiotherapy.....does the tanned boob fade with time as mine is pretty dark and just looks odd....as if having no nipple wasnt enough lol 

    Hope everyone has found something to make them smile today xx

  • Hi dizzel 

    yes mine went a light brown 1yr nd 3 months and can just about still see it. It’s very very subtle now. X

     

  • Thanks Dizzle.

    Just waiting for more tests then hopefully the go ahead.

  • Morning peeps 

    bad :- none yay!

    good :- pop t daughters for cuppa, jaunt around northumberlandia with her nd lil ones, Toby Carvery for food and then home to read nd glass of wine. Love a good plan

    have as good a day as you can peeps x ️X

  • Morning ladies. Dizzle mine was very dark brown and started to fade in patches. Only have patch near armpit now - only took about 20 months.....

    So have family wedding next week - not in the mood. All the politics and having to dress up for umpteen functions - sigh....... I just cannot be asked.

    Off to London to see an agency and an interview on mon. It's temporary but will give it my best shot. Wish I didn't have to work. Am enjoying being home. My bro-in-law got staples taken out from brain tumour op. Next week scan will tell us more. Like Dizzle said - too many sad stories and too many who are suffering. 

    Well sun is trying to shine and my horrible next door neighbour is moving today. Hurray!!!! There is good in every day!

    Keep well ladies and enjoy your day.

  • Hey if you don’t want to go to the wedding don’t go. Life’s to short to do things u don’t have to if you don’t want to. 

    Got everything crossed for your brother in law ️

    My neighbours across the road have put their house up for sale... they have only been there 2 yrs. I’m surprised at how many times the houses around me go up for sale...they usually go within the wk though. It’s def not me cos I only say hello to them from across the road lol. 

    Having good neighbours can make such a difference in our lives so glad some negativity is packing up and leaving your life :-) x

  • Unfortunately I have to go to the wedding - it's my sis-in-laws son and they live near us. 

    New neighbours have moved in. Hopefully they'll be nicer than the last one. Very true - good neighbours make alot of difference.

    Brother in law may come to a low key function of the wedding - he's very strong and very positive. Just hope this ******* disease doesn't beat him down.

    Have a good evening ladies.

  • Hi, a nurse came yesterday to give me an ECG and blood test to monitor the new pills I am on. She uploaded the results and within an hour the hospital rang to tell me the ECG was abnormal and to stop taking the pills. I have to go in on Tuesday. Don’t know what to think!

  • Hi quick response cos getting picked up. I had a quick look when u said u were on meds and a side effect is raised.... can’t remember of the heart. Yes has prob gone up cos of meds ( but not a dr lol). Yr heart must have been ok before taking cos they checked before giving you. Sure it said goes back t normal when stopped. 

    So known side effect... I would try not to worry. I know easy for me t say ️X

  • Afternoon peeps 

    bad :- none yay

    good :- back t pegging clothes outside to dry yay lol.

    swimming with lil ones, shops, all t daughters for coffee nd cake then made up a spring flower box ( let’s see if the  bulbs live long enough t bloom cos I usually kill everything) hyacinths nd mini daffs will look pretty if they live lol. 

    Time for film nd glass of wine... and relax:D

    hope all have had as good s day as they can ️
