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

  • Sundial your garden sounds lovely :) hope the sun shines soon so you can enjoy it xxx

    i wore my sports type bra for a good 3/4 months post op even in bed. Helped me with support nd kept  the cream I was lashing on offa the bedding. Not gonna lie... I found these type of bras soooooo comfortable that I more often than not wear them now (I did get some new cos others were stained from the cream nd the ink when they marked me up).  Enjoy ya day :-)

  • Good that you're going to big shops and Beachbabe to a walk... Everyone come across as so strong here in the forum. I hope everyone is ok  :)

    Take care**

  • Ah lass deep breaths. If I lived near I’d have come on that walk with you.... I’m there in spirit instead ️

  • As you know, supposedly my boyfriend doesn't have much more time now. It has been a bit tough lately, I guess more "boring" for us, because whereas I keep visiting him, he still doesn't feel quite well. Another weekend, this one prolonged due to carnival, and he is getting super grumpy, sometimes agressive with his parents, they disagree a lot with each other. 
    I think his deterioration caught us quickly... we were able to do a last trip to belgium in nye, but now there's not much we can do. He's bored and with pain... It's hard to wait for the death, because I don't want to treat him like he's gone, he's still here, but we cannot be the same couple as we used to be.


    In terms of the rest I cannot complain much, I had a meeting with the new supervisor for the new job and it was wonderfull, so professional. Also meet a few of the fellows of the team, people of my age, which is awesome because maybe I'll make new friends at the new job.

  • Bless you both... feeling angry may be the only way he feels anything that he can express that is not fear or sadness. Not good for those who care though who want any time they have to be warm and caring. You sadly are between a rock and a hard place... try not to let it wear you down ️

    So glad you are enjoying the new job... hopefully this time helps you recharge your batteries and lift your spirits to help you deal with the weekends better. X

     

  • Hi ladies,

    I've just got home from my amnio and it went fine. Just resting now. Wont get full results til either Friday or Monday so fingers crossed but consultant doing the scan said everything looked good, organ and structure wise.....and also said we are having a BOY! both really over the moon. We both have a girl each already so our little miracle will complete our family.
