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 Sandra it's nice someone's heard of it, it does not like cemo when I was having cemo it stopped my medication working it finished up going into a coma luckily wife called ambulance, its called addesonion crisis if in coma for long you die, did you know it stops immune system working properly, even a cold can be dangerous, I've been told to keep a vial of medication at home always. Just in case, my first specialist didn't tell me that. Hope your cousin is keeping well & you,. Had a lovely sleep last night. Got to go get injection this morning (hormones) i just wish I could stop having it, but then the C starts spreading quicker some choice. Hope everything is OK with everyone on here. Best wishes.

    Good ... how lucky we are Sandra with our grandkids ... it was worth having our own kids to get them lol ..  but sure they are what keeps us going ...

    Bad .... I'm a pensioner from today who still doesn't qualify for a pention for another 7 odd months ... ; (( 

    Dizzle, how's the lump comming on ... need an update .... 

    Hope you all have a good week ... here's to kicking cancers *** ... chrissie

  • Hi criss no children of my own wife was widow husband killed factory accident at 28 three boys youngest son killed at 22 car accident his wife died 28 throat cancer and left one daughter,, a daughter now married +two daughters,. Other step son got married two boys, both married three boys each, so I'm a great great grandad six times gets a bit confusing sometimes. When younger i would never have believed what could happen in future. I always try to look on the bright side.a lot of friends don't believe I'm ill. But I'm not bothered.

  • Hi everyone,

    Hope all is good with you all. Thanks for tagging me in Marlyn....I hope ive made her feel a bit more positive about things.

    Bump is all good. Right little wriggler. Its exactly 3 months today til my due date. Had a 4D scan the other week but he was hiding behind his arms so couldnt get any pics. He's definitely a boy though as he wasnt shy about showing that part off lol. So we're going for a rescan on the 1st of June. Hopefully he'll be more cooperative. 

    Unfortunately though ive been suffering with my stomach badly over the past few weeks. The urge to go to toilet comes on so suddenly I had to jump off the bus on the way to work to run into a public toilet and its very watery (sorry if anyones eating). Could be pregnancy related but my midwife didnt seem to think it was as pregnancy usually causes constipation. Theres no infection as I done test for that so got to do another test to rule out any rectal or bowel cancers now. Doctor is just being cautious due to the cancer ive just had so better to be safe than sorry. Im sure its nothing though....probably the baby using my bowel as a football or something.

    Well I hope youve all had a good start to the week so far. Take care ladies xx
