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

  • Ah pleased you breathing is ok. Blimey it was clammy last night.... if I got burgled they would have run for the hills the state  I looked :D:D:D

    no let up today either but at least can’t say when I was a bairn the summer was hot unlike now ;) 

    Good news they are going straight to op rather than treatment first... get it out sooner. X

     

  • Lol Billy we’re probably just wishing it was Friday :D

    both lil one have an iPad and an iPhone. They mostly play games and listen to music on phones and watch kids YouTube nd movies on their iPad. That being said mostly used before bed for 30 mins or long journeys in the car. They love being out doors or inside doing crafts. 

    Tech has a place just not all the time lol. X

  • Afternoon peeps 

    bad :- none yay

    good:- finding shade yes....finding shade to sit in while lil ones are playing in garden nd hot tub. :)

    hope you have all had as good a day as u can peeps x

  • I've cooled our living room down five deg I forgot I had a cooler in the loft it's a fan in a box and at the back it has a small waterfall there's a tank at bottom and you can put ice pack in to get extra cold wish i remembered it earlier,, it bearable now before bed ill take it to bed room,, hope everyone good today. Just noticed a new ladies item for the hot weather freezing bra inserts to keep the bust cool, whatever next soon they'll have something for men but a bit lower down.cool weather,

  • Morning peeps

    good:- not got lil ones today but called in early to pick up hot glue gun I’d left. Managed to fil in a quick craft with them before I left ( plastic wine glasses that they put self adhesive jewels on - they love their goblets lol). Shops done lunch time me thinks

  • People been to see us said two three turned up, social services, physiotherapist, and a nurse, two hours of forms and explaining whots wrong as far as we know, they said hopefully carers within next two weeks then they'll order the hoist, hope every one tiptop as can be.

    Hi everyone

    Just been for full results and care plan and i have 2 lumps  one is stage 2 triple neg and the other is also stage 2 but not triple neg. 

    I’ll have to have chemo first then a mastectomy.

    iv now scared myself stiff reading up on triple negative breast cancer! 

    Has anyone else on here been triple negative??

  • That's sounds like good news Billy. Hopefully they all communicate with each other to get you some help. Why don't they just order the bleeping hoist now and it will be in situ in 2 weeks time instaed of having to wait. I think i should be in charge of their coordination, i'd get things moving along a bit quicker :D

  • Sorry Lisa, i am not in the booby camp so i can't advise but i'm sure the other ladies can help.

     I hope your care plan is agreeable to you ... that's a bit of a silly statement really because we don't have much of a choice if we want rid of the nasties that lurk in our bodies.

    The motto of CRUK forum is "stay away from that bliddy google" except they miss a word of mine out, lol [[ ]]
