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

  • Haven't posted for a bit. I hope everything is well with your results Beachbabe. It's really hard to wait for results, it's a long process. The best we can do is really distract ourselves with other things like you did, by going to the sea!

    Take care :)

  • Lovely of you to drop by to support lonelygirl. 

    Did you take the job? 

    Hope you are feeling in a better place x

  • The good: my life is getting better professionally. yes i did accept the new job. And besides that last week I gained a fellowship to go to an international conference in Italy. I have been applying for 4 years (they do it every year) and this year I won (as they choose 30 applicants to go from all Europe). I'm very happy to go, however, I'm afraid of the timing, it is in April and I'm scared my boyfriend will not be ok by then, causing me not to go...

     

    The bad: last week I went to the hospital with him and his parents. The doctor was very worried for his weight loss and changed his medication. In the end, I asked to talk with her alone and asked for the proper diagnosis. She told me that if my boyfriend lived 2 more months would be very good since his cancer is so aggressive and it's now all over his lungs. Less time, if he got worse. Tbh I'm not that shocked with this news, taking into account the way he has been deteriorating. If any, knowing what to expect gave me confirmation and got me less bewildered. I expect my emotions to flow a lot in the next months though...
    On the following days, he felt better physically and emotionally. I think the medication is working better, as he is now pain-free and went for some walks (something that he hasn't been doing), and I think I also have a good effect on his humour...

  • Bless a mixed catch up from you. I am sorry to hear his prognosis is not a better one:(

    I am relieved you took the job and huge congratulations on your success for Italy. 

    I am not surprised you feel more in control knowing what’s what with the prognosis. We deal much better when we know what we are dealing with...and gives you time to come to terms with everything.

    you do not give yourself enough credit for your strength...go easy on yourself you are dealing with a lot.

    tight hugs lass. Thinking of you x

  • Happy moving day and good luck in your new home :love:
