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

  • Hi Ladies,

    Thank you for all your kind words regarding my rubbish family. You are all so right and I really should not let it bother me as much as I do. Need to focus on whats important and thats my family I have now... Jamie, Grace, Sophia (His little girl) and boy bump! What with this and the way they treated me through my cancer treatment, theres far too much water under the bridge to go back after this one so onwards and upwards and 2 fingers up to the ones that werent there. Its certainly right when people say a serious illness certainly highlights the people who matter in your life and its certainly not my so called Mother and sister. Was in two minds whether to send a Mothers day card or not. I think im going to as I dont wanna drag myself down to their level....but it will be the most basic crap one I can find lol!

    Bad....Not really anything.

    Good.....Sun is shining, bump is growing......that is all :)

    Have a fab day all

    Dizzle xx

     

     

  • Morning peeps 

    go u tell em dizzel lol ️

    Happy Mother’s Day to all who deserve  the title of mother. ️

    Bad :- feeling the absolute pits with this cold. Getting more hot nd cold flushes than the letrozole chucked at me lol.

    good :- lovely family day yesterday... out for a fabulous Italian meal as an early mother’s day. ️ Family time. Expecting a couple of bars of chocolate today ( I alway tell my girls I’d rather have a bar instead of a card) lol. 

    Friday I finished the load of knitting I had... yay. 

    Have as good a day as you can peeps x

     

     

  • Good - lovely weekend in London then came back today in time to go to Mothers Day lunch at golf club.

    Bad - had a panic attack in the middle of the night because I was away from home. I feel safer at home which is a pain because it is good to get away!

  • Hi Sandra. I feel your pain. Just getting rid of an absolute stinker of a cold. I still have a bark that makes the dog jealous!

  • Hey ladies hope all who are feeling unwell get better very soon.

    Dizzle - you go girl! It's tough because it's not in our nature to be that way but we learn. Please yourself and keep your conscience clear.

    Hope everyone had a good day.

  • So glad you had a lovely time away nd Mother’s Day meal :)

    bless hope you are ok after your panic attack.... presumably you have had before. Hope it didn’t spoil your time away ️

  • It sucks dont it! Honestly every time I cough ( which is every time I pretty much take a breath) it feels like my head might pop.  Like I say other than that I’m fine lol.

     

  • Hi.... hope you are starting to feel on the up a bit now you are not doing the commute. At least it’s starting to warm up a bit x

  • Morning peeps 

    bad:- still not well so had to cancel lunch with my friend.... optimistically we have planned take 2 on Saturday... fingers crossed.

    good :- at least I don’t have the lil ones today so .... duvet day it is :-) 

    have as good as day as u can peeps x

  • Sorry to hear you are still not so good Sandra. I hope you are better by Saturday.

    I had never had a panic attack before so felt very strange. Might have to visit the GP as very tearful also. Although not sure what they can do.
