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

  • Wow .....amazing cake Sandra :grin: love the candle clouds! Are the dolls edible? They look great :grin:

    Hope everyone is doing well. Bump and me are all good. Got an amnio on Wednesday to check for any chromosonal abnormalities so very nervous about that. Fingers crossed everything is fine.

    Started my phasing back into work today. Gonna be a shock to the system considering I average about 4 hours sleep a night on and off and not done a full days work in nearly a year. Oh well, only for 5 months then off on maternity leave so cant grumble. 

    Just got caught I  a freak hail storm. Ouch!

    Have a lovely dry rest of the day all xx

  • Hi Dizzle

  •  Good morning my beautiful friends, I’m still here Lol.  I have been so extremely busy, I don’t know how a person that lives alone can get so busy with so much stuff to do , just crazy.  I have so much to read on this thread I need to get caught up wow ,  I want to let you know that I haven’t forgotten about you girls and  you girls are in my prayers every night. I don’t know if anybody remembers but I have to go to the cardiologist and after all the tests Dr. said  the results were not quite normal but they weren’t too bad either. My left upper ventricle is a little larger and my heart walls in about 2 mm thicker  which is probably due to the high blood pressure or who knows what else so good blood flow So that’s good ,Anyway as I was getting back into my life  you know what? I come down with SHINGLES ,  Eight days ago Sunday night I discovered a little rash under my arm and I knew it was not a typical rash I knew it was something different so Monday I went to the doctor well he said you got shingles, I freaked out. Well he said it’s a good thing I went right away because if you go after 48 hours that the symptoms appear the medicine is not as effective 

    With medicine and all  I have been suffering a lot. 

     I want to come to this thread without having to have a bad news I just wanted to put chairs the good news about my heart but as soon as I’m done with one illness I go down with another one,  I wonder  what’s going to be next one 

     Tomorrow I’m going to  take a full day off, yay I’m going try to get caught up on this thread I want to see how everybody’s doing but I want to send you good vibes to all my friends here and tell everyone that are still fighting this disease my heart is with you ,  I am sending you a big hug and sorry I needed to rant a little bit . 

     I am happy that today we have a beautiful day in Los Angeles after some unusual big rains I’m going try to at least to have a coffee in my backyard to relax a little and take advantage of this day because we got more rains coming this week 

     

     

    xoxo

  • Love love love the hyacinths bit of a sunshine right there ️
