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

  • Lol Billy ... u not fancy looking up some local groups you can join to get some downtime from caring, bit of a natter and recharge your batteries. We have loads of different groups that meet up at our local community centre. The Salvation Army up my way do loads too... one me nd my daughter often pop into is for soup nd a bun they put on every day. Loads of locals there young and old and everyone chats to each other. 

    Glad u are on the mend x

     

  • Morning peeps 

    bad:- not too well... up through night with stomach cramps nd feeling queasy. All in all feeling yuk!

    good :- gonna steer clear of everyone nd have a duvet day to pull myself around. Lots of hand washing, napping,  movies, book nd crafting. 

    Have as good a day as u can peeps x

  • Hi Sandra, the idea good trouble is I'm not much of a talker when I'm with someone i tried a group when Mrs had to go in hospital wished I'd never gone came out worse than went in that's why i talk better on forum and there's plenty of time to think what to say, till i got to know people I'm actually very shy, (thats the truth) hope you've got plenty of craft dolls ready for, Xmas it's not far off now like you said and Halloween,, hope keeping well, best wishes.
