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

    It had taken me a good few days to get my head round my results again definitely feel like I went back a year which in a way is quite funny as is exactly a year on Friday that I found my first breast lump! Where has the time gone. Anyway had a good walk today which cleared my head! 10 and a half miles to be exact! Feel better for it! 

    Hugs to you all x 

  • Hi ladies.....Well yesterday was my first annual mammogram. Feel fine about it and my middle name is positivity!

    So  today there is no bad and only super good. Yesterday before hospital my eldest daughter took me in to central London for a surprise. Well we went for a manicure in john Lewis. To cut a long story short this was all part of a huge staged set up between my daughter and heart fm breakfast team. Apparently Maxine had nominated me for a special mothers day treat and heart fm chose me after hearing about mine and my partners year. Jamie theakston and a film crew turned up and I was given loads of luxury gifts and shopping vouchers. Apparently Maxine, my second daughter Mel and my partner Lee were all interviewed live by Jamie theakston this week every morning while I was at work. I'm totally overwhelmed by it all. I feel like the most loved person right now.

  • Morning ladies

    Cornish what a massively lovely surprise for you. You are lucky to have such a lovely family and you are truly deserving of all of it. That made me smile reading that this morning :-)

    Good: had midwife yesterday. All is still fine then met my little sister for her birthday lunch....the only member of my family I still talk to so that was nice although she did let slip she was having a family meal out which I obviously haven't been invited to. I'm guessing she doesnt want any awkwardness as noone installing to me. How dare I get cancer and get pregnant. I'm so selfish lol. Still baffles me as to exactly what it is I've done wrong. Guess I will never know!

    Bad...... probably some of the above. Oh and start full time work on Monday, although in a way it's getting back to normality I'm so used to being at home now its gonna take some getting used to. Isn't long before I go on maternity though lol.

    Have a lovely day everyone 

    Dizzle xx
