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 

Sandra x ️X

  • Hi there Billy...

    So so sorry, will keep everything crossed for Brenda... can't believe how much is thrown at you, and still you take it on, without a moan ... but you know, it's o.k to vent every so often ... though I've a feeling, you get more sad of a situation, then the need to vent ...

    I'm always here most days Billy.. if ever you want to private message me, your welcome .. let us know how you go ...  sending you a vertual hug.... Chrissie  

  • Hi Chriss and thanks for your concern for Brenda I'm hoping his wrong but she's had problems for years down below this last couple of months she's really been struggling and she's been in so much pain Dr been no end of times, she's crying and screaming with it I had to keep getting on at hospital people to do something about it she went in Sunday and finally Tuesday about 5 o'clock someone started checking her, they tried enema nurse couldn't get any fluid in at all that's when they finally realised there's a problem hopefully we'll see Dr today and get a scan and find out something, again thanks chrissie,. Love... Billy

  • Hi Chrissie

    I know.... abandoned ( the traitors ;):D;)

    I totally get it....wanting to move on. Lot have work commitments too. 

    Guess I too should be thinking of hanging up my finger typing (I just can’t get the hang of the 2 thumb typing my daughters do lol). I kept on posting because I wanted people to know we can continue with our lives after a cancer diagnosis. That being said ... I am getting on so like u say if only writing to yourself then... really don’t need to :D

    oh my though how much did everyone step up and be there when I needed them..... ️ 

    I never post when on holiday ( guess that’s my walk away   moments). 

    Reckon a wind down is in order. Used t post every day so will pop on every now nd then instead. I’m off on my jollies next wk anyway ( eeeerk the excitement :D).

    ah chrissie the lil ones ️ ( mind wasn’t thinking that this morning when the lil one was screaming her lungs out cos she couldn’t find her mermaid doll.... nope still not found... sigh).  I love the conversations we have with them now... yup how we love em eh:)

    anywhose ... here’s to all who came nd went nd those who are still working their way through. We did it didn’t we lass... go us, go us, go us :D x

     

  • Actually felt quite weepy,  ; ((  

    It feels like the last day at college and everyone has graduated at moving on ... so we'll throw our gradation hats in the air ... and promise to keep in touch .. but many don't.. a big vertual hug to all .. 

    But anyone that reads these last few texts, will know all who came and started here are still standing .. and that they will still get help knowing it's more good endings then they thought ..

    So for as long or little as you pop on .. thank you for being a wonderful vertual buddy .. .. I'm going off now to she'd some happy tears , wer all o.k ...  YEP WE SURE DID IT ...  ; ))

    Always kicking cancers *** ...  Chrissie
