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

  • Looks perfect Sandra.

    Just got back from trip to London and Brighton, was taken to immersive theatre with virtual reality, a lovely Asian tapas, lunch out in Brighton and visit to upside down house. Hubby not good so visit to the docs in order. Think we may have to pay for MRI to find out what is causing the pain.

  • Thanks dragonfly.... it’s good to have my chillax place back in use :D

    wow.... well so glad you have had such a fabulous time lass... you deserve every min of it. You managed to do so much...heartwarming to read.

    sorry your hubby is unwell tho.... hope he gets sorted at the drs cos you really shouldn’t have to pay for you own diagnostic testing. 

    Dont you be waiting too long before you have another trip and/or booking something you time ️

    Let us know how hubby gets on. Take care x

  • Hi Ladies,

    Sandra, you continue to impress with your creative geniusness (if thats a word) .... Looks Fab!!!

    Hope everyone had a good weekend. We had the girlies friday and saturday night so was full of trying to entertain a 9 and 6 years old. Trip to McDonalds followed by the soft play centre for a couple of hours and home to make their own pizzas. I took Jamie and his little one out for a meal for Fathers Day on Sunday as its the 1st Fathers Day ive been able to treat him because of the bump :) Was lovely. Then went to meet my best friend who was down visiting from the Lakes. She had her baby boy 4 weeks ago so there were lots of tips to be given (Ive not done the whole baby thing for nearly 10 years so forgotten a lot)!!

    Well its just started to rain here in Southampton...apparently Thunderstorms are forecast which im petrified of! Got midwife later on to see how little man is doing.....im guessing very well if his constant wriggling is anything to go by. Hope you all have a fab week. Heres a pic of the pizza making. Look how chuffed they look lol................
