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 Everyone.

    Welcome back Sandra the Explorer. Sounds like you had a marvellous holiday. Good news about results too. And daughters house. We all deserve good times....

    Hi Jbains. Good to see you popping your head round the door. Glad you've sorted out the work situation, lunch at home...a luxury to be savoured.

    Chris... I've sent you a message. Nice to see you here.

    Well Sandra in answer. Yes I did lodge a complaint and got £1000 back. I know...I was surprised too. Hubby not long out of hospital.after emergency surgery for kidney stones. Not been brilliant since then...seems to have knocked him back a bit. He has to have surgery again in November to remove stones from his other kidney. Me I've just found out I have a vitamin D deficiency so on supplements.

    I don't have a beautiful Vinnie or grandkids to post pictures of or even lovely holiday snaps so here's a picture of Maggie May, my daughters puppy now all grown up!
     

    i hope everyone can find something good in their day.

  • Hi sundial she's smashing so sorry about hubby and his stones especially two lots, at least vit,d is just tablets for a while people reckon you need to be in the daylight more to help vit, d,, i bet Maggie may gets spoiled, best wishes.... Billy 

  • Welcome back Sandra...I think I can speak for everyone and say we've missed your posts. Glad you had a good time.....and thank you for all you're kind words about Vinnie. I've just give him a feed now and hes passed out. Hea such a good boy. 

    Went for my mammogram yesterday only to be told they couldnt do it as Vinnie is only 6 weeks old....erm they knew that when they sentenced the appointment so wasted an hour battling through rush hour traffic for nothing I have an mri on the 21st though as ly bowels are still awful. I pray it shows up nothing sinister.

    My mum has finally piped up and we went for lunch but it's just not the same. Have so much underlying anger. She said loads of things that annoyed me but I just turned a blind eye. Best way to be. But one day I fear I will just snap.

    Jamie surprised mewith a massive bouquet of flowers and a spa day for me and my little sister with cream teas and prosecco then a meal at the theatre restaurant and tickets to Motown the musical. It was brilliant and a much needed day and night out while he had Vinnie. He can be so thoughtful like that. Was really surprised....he wrote a lovely card saying how proud he was of me. Bought a tear to my eye. 

    Anyways....mummy duties to do like sterilising bottles yawn.......hope everyone is happy and healthy xx

  • Aw Dizzel it is always an emotional ride reading your posts ️
     

    Today that emotion was a smile from ear to ear of happiness for you. You deserve every single piece of pampering you receive lass. 
     

    A cuddle to Vinnie from me and warmth sent to you nd yours ️X

  • Hello everyone hope your all ok. Vinnie is just so cute! 

    Mum finally got her results from her ct scan on her lungs she has a nodule in her left lung and has to have another ct scan next month to see if it has grown. She is also being referred to respiratory clinic for her breathing. So the journey continues.  Hugs to you all x
