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 glad all Christmas went well,. If you didn't burn meal you definitely didn't drink enough. Don't forget to keep your habit straight to welcome in the new year, (mother superior). Are you sure you didn't buy plenty but ate to much.. Hope everyone had a good Christmas and are ready to welcome in the new year not long now hope you have a good time welcoming in 2020. Thinking of you all...

  • To all us gorjus people on here - happy New year. I hope and pray that 2020 is a better year for all. Hang onto the good and relinquish the bad. This lige is tough but so are we. Love and strength to you all.xxxx

  • Afternoon all

    bad :- none yayyyy

    good :- a moment to wish everyone has  as good a new year as they can. when I was first diagnosed I didn't think I would be seeing another new year ( because in the early days our minds go to the darkest places) and yet here I am 2 and 1/2  yrs later looking forward to  2020. My thoughts to all who find themselves in those dark places and a hope some light can find its way into their day ️
     

    my plans for the new year is all the family meeting at daughters have a takeaway together then sip a bottle (or 2) of champagne in the hot tub to lay back and watch other peoples fireworks :D :D :D

    new years day will be us all again siting around daughter's table sharing a family meal. 
     

    all the best to everyone for the new year ... do it all the way that's best for you. ️

    Big new year hug ...  Chrissie  

  • Just wanted to wish you all a very happy and healthy new year! Thank you all for your support Xx

  • Evening everyone. If you get a few minutes could you please give a few words of advise to Ch1963 she has just joined and was at the hospital today and had her first appointment, mammogram scan biopsy and the doctor said he thinks it’s the dreaded c word. She could do with your wonderful help. Thank you xx 

  • Hi everyone,

    I'm hoping someone can say something to me to keep me going for the next week... I had an appointment at the breast clinic Tuesday, they did a biopsy and said it was what they call "indeterminate". I'm thinking the worst already because I've been feeling so awful lately, I have pains in my back and shoulders etc. I'm terrible for googling symptoms and I read some stuff I shouldn't have. Took myself to A&E with my partner last week worried about bone metastasis. They did a few blood tests and an X-ray, they say there was nothing to suggest that and that I must be stressed. I still have these pains all day long and even when I'm feeling more positive it drags me back again when I feel the pain in my body. Because of this I am fearing the worst from my appointment, unlike my partner who keeps repeating the positive stuff we've been told so far. It's harder for me being in this body and feeling like I know what they're going to say. Can anyone relate to this? I don't want to be too positive because I feel it would be harder to deal with if the results weren't good. I have 3 children, the youngest is only 4 months old. It's tearing me apart.
