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 Sandra, (mother superior) hehe hee,. Carers help makes it easier to wash bren i hold her up while they wash her, before i was trying to hold bren up and wash her. So no spare time really apart from when bren goes to sleep, if day Time i try to clean up house a bit, or vacuum while she's awake. You know Sandra there's always something to do,. Meals, tablets, clothes bedding, we manage that's main thing,... Hope your still well and enjoying family time,..... Best wishes to all especially this time of year..... Love Billy xxx, ;-) ^_^

  • Hi Dizzle

     

    i hope you are well. What were your symptoms if you don't mind me asking? 
     

    thank you 

  • Hello all. Hope you're all doing as well as can be. It's so cold! Hope everyone is keeping warm.

    Thanks for well wishes, Sandra. Dunno why but had a meltdown on mammo day before I entered hospital. Then had mammo taken on cancer breast twice to add to the awful day. Been a week and no letter yet so no news is good news! A letter arrived from breastcare unit yesterday and I couldn't see it properly as went into blind panic and deja vu.  But it was for physio appt! Phew felt so relieved. It was exactly this time 3 years ago it all started so am not my usual in control self. 

    It just doesn't end - the panic and worry waiting for results. Am still suffering with fatigue and the rest but we carry on. For all you fighting and going thru treatment/ tests/ recovery - we are all here and we got this!!

  • Hi jbsins bless I really get where u r coming from. Each time I'm due my check up I get twitched. I'm so surprised I do because all the way through I was .,,, ok. I guess it's because I had no symptoms at all and it was the mammogram that caught it ( thankfully). The worry is history will repeat itself. 
     

    yup always on our minds. Hope all is well when your results arrive ️ X

  • Hi to all its nearly that time of the year when people make a fool of them selves and burn the dinner,, but a good time is had by all, (hopefully) just incase I'm busy later I'd like to wish everyone a merry Christmas and a happy New year.. And hope our mother superior doesn't loose her habit,. Don't forget to open your presents slowly and enjoy the surprise. Love to all...... Billy xxx
