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

  • At least forum OK again, any ideas when Mrs asleep she's OK for hours when awake she wants to go on commode every twenty minutes for a wee she's no water infection been checked, i ask her is she shore she says she thinks so, she's not sure but she starts to panic about going on the chair, it's all day long unless she drops of to sleep, then she's OK, i checked with GP earlier in the year she didn't have a clue, any ideas welcome, i know she worries about it but how to settle her down with out a baseball bat i don't know, I've tried talking and explained chair does not matter, when neibour round she can last an hour or more, any information welcome please,

  • Sadly if dr don’t know a clinical reason guess we can just speculate. Wonder if it’s cos she is thinking of it a bit like when u are going out- you don’t need the loo but if u try u manage. Perhaps things that occupy her mind will stop her thinking.?

  • Good idea I'll try baseball bat.

  • Hi Sandra I'm being cheeky that cousin with addisons would you mind asking her what she does when she gets a cold (what she takes for it) different areas might have different ideas,. Mine works but can take ages to go away, and doctors don't know what to do I've tried them all at my surgery at different times, bless you,.

  • Hi Billy

  • Morning peeps 

    bad :- friends husbands funeral today... I rang my friend when I heard a few days ago nd agreed a meet up when she’s ready. I won’t be going to the funeral he is being buried so will visit his grave to pay my respects. I thought it was 2017 I heard of his diagnosis... was actually March 2018. The treatment did buy him the extra 6 mths as they said it would. 

    Good:- last night ...went to movies t see the new Spider-Man.... was actually quite awesome :)

    sitting in garden now gonna have cornflakes...with ice cold milk in the sun..., a moment of perfection right there:D

    have as good a day as u can peeps x

  • Just got Mrs appointment 16 October, they certainly didn't think it's urgent,, saw Dr about cold stuck with what I've got, had nice surprise phoned about my injection (hormone) oh and I'm about a 40B now, managed to get appointment straight away normally I've got to keep phoneing up,. 

  • Morning Billy

    its usually a good sign when they don’t rush appointments... it will come around in no time.

    glad u got yr appointment on 1st attempt :) mind u because it’s a routing rpt of the injection I’m surprised they don’t let you book 3/4 appointments in advance. 

    When I was being tested for hypertension they gave me my 3 booked appointments when I came out after the 1st. 

    No 2 practices the same are there . X

  • They usto book from when i was there before but new program on computer and they reckon they can't do it know so i have to wait till nearly time then hope i get appointment when neaded probably want something switching on in programing but they can't be bothered,, did you have rain this morning, hope you're feeling well,. God bless.
