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

  • Thanks for your reply, Sandra123. My partner has been great through all this and will come with me to the appointment. He's trying to keep me positive and I'm still trying to hold onto some hope but I feel like my body is telling me it won't be good news. Painkillers aren't helping with my aches and pains which only adds to the worry that it's something serious. I'll let you know how it goes, it should be Friday x

  • Hi Ch1963,

    I'm sorry to hear that's how your appointment went, sending positive thoughts your way, too, for Thursday. This waiting is driving me crazy. I think if it wasn't for what I feel like physically at the moment I would be feeling a bit more hopeful x

  • Hi sandra, nice to pop back to see how your all doing and see photos! Mums heart echo is 16th this month then lung function tests next month then sees the doctor early March we get the results of all that and her ct scan. As we know the waiting is the worse bit. 

    Christmas was nice although had to work Boxing Day but had new year off. Slight hangover Boxing Day  

    Hope everyone is ok and recovered from Christmas and new year soon be summer and back at the beach hut!! X

  • Hi everyone,

    It's been a while so please update me with anything and hello to any newbies. Promise I will be better this year. I havent had a chance to read everyone's posts just had a lot going on so just darting in to let you all know I'm still going. Happy new year to you all. Been told Vinnie has a heart murmur and has to have further investigations so has scan on the 13th. I know my herceptin drug causes heart problems and I was having them before I knew I was pregnant so cant help but think its because of that. Anyway will keep you all updated. Will have a read of everyone's posts in a few days when  I'm a bit more settled as I've feel ivr neglected all my cyber friends :-( anyways vinnie had a lovely xmas and loves his baths now so here's a pic xx

  • Hey all hope everyone is coping ok as can be. 2020 is here and am determined not to let anything get me down but my faithful companion fatigue has come to me yesterday and today with wide massive open arms and left me home lying here watching nothing and something when I can. Sigh.....

    So work was missed by me just trying to do normal things and still not able. But 3 years and still going so not all bad.

    Ladies cold weather is coming so keep warm and do things that make you happy. Make 2020 about you - not any one else.x

  • Oh my Dizzel what a little star he is ️ Love a pic of him ... so uplifting.

    hope you yourself is doing well me dear. As always it's lovely to hear from you x
