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

    Hey all hope everyone is doing well. Yep, Sandra, my tree went up over a week ago! Never too early. The shops are manic and sales are on so Yep, it's xmas! I've done alot of online shopping as I just can't take the crowds!

    I can see through the thread reading as far back as I could that we all face our many challenges. Life is a real challenge but we are doing well and we are all tough. Guaranteed these new challenges seen tougher but we are tougher also.

    It's absolutely freezing and I dunno about anyone else but am feeling that cold alot more! Stay warm and hugs to all.x
