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

  • Well Good Morning Everyone.

    Dull and damp here in the Midlands. :-(  However flowers coming along nicely in the back garden. Have iris, narcissi and anemones blooming. Our camellia is absolutely full if buds too. Where’s the warm weather so I can sit in my garden room and appreciate it? :-)

    Good

    Hubby finally at pre op and anaesthetist today. Hopefully he’ll give the go ahead for the op.

    Bad

    Worried about hubby. He’s in a lot of pain. I dont kniow what he’ll do if they say he’s not fit for the op. Beginning to feel very jittery about my first four month follow up appt next Tuesday. Silly me! Roller coaster warming up ready. I can hear it whirring in the background.

    Hope everyone can find something good in their day, Hugs all round wherever you’re at on your journey.

    bad :- gonna do daughters decoupage eggs for her spring/Easter tree...the only joy this will bring is when they are done lol.

    Good :- spring box still surviving... hyacinth buds are just beginning t open...looks like they will be a pale yellow colour. I thought they just came in blue! Have I broken them.... somehow!?!

    The good- rain has now stoppped so going out for a nice long walk

    The bad- struggling a bit with the wait for my results 

    big hugs everyone x 

  • Bless....it’s all a worry isn’t it. Hope all goes well today for your husband sounds like the op can’t come soon enough.

    i know exactly what you mean about your follow up. I was so surprised how hyped I got for my 1 st mammogram following my op. I was worse than during my treatment. 

    Deep breaths lass ... try not to make it a bigger deal than it is ( like I did! ). All was well for me and I am sure it will be for you too.

    thinking of you and sending positive vibes for both you nd your Hubby ️

  • Ah lass you more than any of us know this is the worst part. You are doing what you would advise others already... keeping busy. It will drag then suddenly be here.

    enjoy that long walk.  Breathe in the post rain fresh air and the beauty of all around you. Hugs sent your way ️
