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 all good news bren going home this afternoon bed hoist has come carers coming this evening, just got to rearrange bedroom to get hoist in place think I'll have to sleep somewhere else figure that out later luckily got monitor so hear her no matter where i am best wishes to all 

  • I'm really pleased that Bren is home now Billy, that will save you al of those trips to the hospital although i know you would do anything to be by your Brens side.

    It doesn't seem so long ago that you had to rearrange your sleeping arrangements because Bren was downstairs, i hope you get it all sorted. x

  • Hi all hopefully last bedroom update to make most of room i put bed up against wall carers want bed away from wall to get round to get bren in bed safely so rearranged again, hopefully last time, bren still in pain and still running like a tap BUT not so much now still not heard from Dr, I'm certainly not taking her to GP way she is, but as long as she's getting better I'm not to bothered my main problem is sleep, carers are lovely people, really helpful, hope every one plodding on as best they can, love to all.. Even chrissie and Sandra.... Billy xxx

Hand, hope every one good as can be love to all... Billy 

  • Good afternoon to you all. Just popped on to catch up with you all! Any new photos of Vinnie?? He’s just so cute! Hugs to you all with everything you are going through good and bad.

    The Bad-mums ct scan has shown up something see doctor in two weeks as he’s now on holiday. Keep thinking of the saying we all use! It’s nothing till your told it’s something! Plus they haven’t called her back quick!
