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 there got the hoist, I'm not allowed to use it till someone comes to show me how, there's a book of instructions and it's in English, that makes a change, just have to wait again, 

    Was raining when I got up but nice out now god bless to everyone, any one heard about bump lately, starting to worry, 

  • Good to hear your garden didn’t need much attention yesterday... I was sitting in mine listening to the neighbors mowing their lawn feeling smug I didn’t need to cos don’t have grass lol.

    great news on the hoist front... will make your life a little easier..hope they come soon to show you best practice on using so you don’t hurt yourself. X

  • Afternoon peeps

    Stranger things was fab.

    have as good a day as you can peeps x

  • Hello Everyone,

    Massive apologies to being rubbish recently. Ive been meaning to post for ages but then something always gets in the way. Have some private messages too that ive not answered. Really need to pull my finger out! Have been reading all the posts occassionally though....

    Beachbabe...sorry to hear of Mums accident, hope all is ok. Any news on your sons scan yet? Me along with everyone else im sure, have everything crossed!

    Chrissie and Rilleyroo....congrats on your 2 year anniversaries. Woohoo!!

    Sundial, hope the eye is getting itself sorted. Must have been horrible :(

    Dragonfly....So good that you are having an op. Really pleased. Did you have or are you having chemo?? Cant remember...but when I had chemo I had awful pain in my lower back and had to have a CT scan but was thankfully clear and put down to all the chemo meds.

    Billygoat....Glad youve now got a hoist. Used them a lot when I was a carer and they are very useful to have.

    Sandra.....there are no words for those dolls...love, love, love. You defo have a small business opportunity there!

    Well ive had my final growth scan for the little man and he is just perfect right now. was weighing 5lb 1oz on the 9th so is expected to be around the 8lb mark as birth so really healthy. They were happy at how he's growing so after a brief appointment with the obstetric team they have discharged me and are happy for me to wait and go into labour naturally which I was chuffed about. Had a bit of a relapse with my stomach again but it's much better now which leads me to believe its nothing sinister as surely it would have only gotten worse? So its 33 days til my due date. I really cant believe how quick its come round. I have everything ready, moses basket, crib, freshly washed clothes and bedding, hospital bagged packed so literally just a waiting game now. Im an emotional wreck though....cant look at the moses basket without welling up lol. Im definitely ready to meet him :)

    Also saw the oncologist and he's very happy with everything. I was a bit concerned as found a couple of lumps in my good boob but he was pretty sure it was all milk ducts. Got to go back in 4 months just to be on the safe side but im not going to worry. Whats the point? Concentrate on the here and now is my new moto :)

    Had lots of bbqs lately due to the lovely weather. Jamies family for the first one, my 2 aunties for the second and my little sister and kids for the 3rd. Sadly still no word from my older sister, brother or Mum but hey, they're loss. I just laugh about it now. I set up a facebook account.....yes very behind the times lol...but have managed to get in contact with lots of aunties and cousins on my dads side who all want to meet up do thats something to look forward to. Also, Jamie is in the process of his application to become a fully qualified paramedic so the degree should be starting next year. Very proud of him :)

    Apologies again.....I will not leave it so long next time.

    Big hugs to you all xx
