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

  • Hello Everyone

    Just a quick update to those kind people who wished my husband well. Surgery took six hours but he was then in recovery for a further five hours. I rang to see what was happening a few times but nobody could tell me. Finally recovery rang me at five o’clock (because he insisted) to say his blood pressure was low and he would be going to HDU instead of the surgical ward as planned. Two phone calls and two and half hours later I was told he was going back to the surgical ward as originally planned. I left him to go into theatre at 9 am and I finally saw him again at 8pm! A very tough day as I’m sure many of you know. Far tougher that the two lots of surgery I had last year. He’s ok, still sleepy from anaesthetic but had to have open surgery rather than keyhole although we don’t know why. Hopefully we’ll find out more tomorrow. Very tired.....

    Seriously I’m so glad this part is done. It is  so much more stressful when it’s someone you love than when it’s yourself.
