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

  • I guess everyone needs something different or just don’t know this is here. As soon as I was diagnosed I searched for a forum nd found this one best thing I ever did.

    not just to feel not alone but the support and.... everything else.... helped me a lot.

    bad :- none

    good:- well the Italian meal yesterday was as always delicious ... yum:)

    new craft - I’m making cr** ...erm.. decorative pieces for my Halloween tree. Yes, yes I know it’s early but never had one before so got to make lots (eee I love being retired :D).

    so... meet Ariadne ( the good witch) 1st shot at making a clothes peg doll... aw  she’ll do:) ️

  • When i was diagnosed i didn't know there was anything like the forum, i didn't use Internet at all until last December. I still only us Google to do things,. Still learning,

  • Hi girls, iwas going to say and boys but i think I'm only one, dodgy day yesterday,,thought going to have problems from getting up she was like a jelly, no support at all couldn't move her legs properly had to pick her up to move her, she was like it all day wanted to call 111 but she was in tears, i promised not to, luckily she's back to normal (normal for her) this morning still not good but at least she can move her legs again,. Be glad when find out whats going on,. Going to phone Dr next week stir it up a bit, she's been like this over seven months now,. i know things are slow (but), hope all you girls are doing well,. Best wishes,.

  • Really sorry to hear this dragonfly. Must have been a huge blow. He sounds like he was a true fighter though. 13 years is a long time to be ill and sepsis is a sneaky little sod...creeps up when you least expect it. I guess some good to come is after 13 years of fighting he is now at peace. Sounds cliche I know but myy thoughts are with you. Stay strong xx

  • Morning Billy 

    blimey you posted early or was it late.... hope you got some quality sleep after.

    sorry to hear about your wife... but glad it was a wobble nd she is getting back on track. You are of course right ... you need to speak with the doctor ️

    Maybe try nd catch some Zzzzzzs later x

  • Morning peeps 

    bad :- none yay

    Good :- lovely day out with family yesterday ( early till late but oh my what a lovely day).

    We went to a Priory that’s just 15 min drive away... not been since mine were little... very nostalgic for me watching the lil ones play there as mine did ️ Finished off at a pretty little market town nearby for picnic nd river paddling for the lil ones who both fell in fully clothed.... this is so standard for them we always keep spare clothes in car for such occasions lol.

    lil ones stayed at their nans last night so takeaway, wine nd hot tub to finish the night for the grown ups good times .:)

    gonna get my butt in action now nd make some cupcakes. 

    Have as good a day as you can peeps x ️X
