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

  • Sorry Sandra didn't answer about working - all ok. Still working locally which is a blessing and still temping. That way can get out if can't handle anymore.

    Dizzle the little one is gorjus!!!! Forget the rest - drop the negativity in life (which includes family) and use all on the family you now have. Their loss hun. I haven't even had contact since Jan this year and am glad of it. Surround yourself with those who make you happy.

    I have my yearly mammo on Fri. Think a swig of sthg before is best medicine!! It hurts like a *****!! I still get anxious and have been trying to get on with it and am sorry I haven't been on thread as much. But I am always saying a prayer every night for anyone who is on this journey. It's a tough one but so are we.xx

    Take care and keep warm.

  • Ah I'm pleased you feel settled at work... as always play  it by ear nd do what's right for you.
