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

    Great to hear from you and might I say Vinnie is adorable. I'm so glad the doctor got involved and you are now treating the depression. Good that you are beginning to feel better, And never forget despite the losers that might  touch your life, you are a winner and they are only attracted to your shining light, You have Jamie and Vinnie so you are double the winner.

    Take care

    Hi Dizzle,

    I am so relieved to hear from you and to discover that you are getting back to normal. We all have lows and 'low lifes' in our world, so there are times that we need that extra helping hand.

    Just a thought, but this person is in breach of his restraining order if he is trying to contact you on Facebook. Does this give you grounds for getting the restraining order extended? Good luck with Slimming World tonight. The wedding should be a good incentive to lose weight.

    Vinnie is growing up fast - what an absolute cutie! We've missed the updates. You've made my day today to hear that you are feeling better. There is a lot going on in your life. Instead of dwelling on all at once, try the one thing at a time,that I'm sure you had to practice during treatment.

    It's really great to see you back!.

    Kind regards,

  • Yay Sandra, result, everylittle helps, and sometimes the fates smile your way, have a great meal out with your family, and if you are having breast surgery but havent yet got one, my top tip is to go on the Jens friends site and find out about their breast cushions, heart shaped and on ribbons, they are a godsend when your are wearing a seatbelt, in bed, or feeling jostled in the shops, I just sent them 51 or the ones Ive been sewing, so know they have some in stock. xx all best, let us know how it goes x

  • Hi Sandra

    Good

    Hubby on the mend after four ops for kidney stones just before Christmas.
    I'm fine, keeping going, stil all clear, next appt. April.  
    Joined watercolour classes which I've wanted to do for years and never had time.
    Looking forward to having fitted wardrobes with matching dressing table and bedside tables and bedroom redecorated and carpeted next month.
    Looking forward to cruises in July and October and a trip to London to see a show with a great friend I met on this website.   
    and definitely looking forward to warmer weather and no severe flood warnings in the town where I live.

    Bad

    None of any consequence.

    i hope everyone can find something good in their day.

  • Hi Poland and welcome to the thread.

    im delighted to say I have been in one end and out the other 3 yrs in August since my diagnosis. I was very lucky in as much as the op wasn't as big as I had made it out to be in my head and had no problems at all post op. 
    I was fortunate so keep up the good work lass it is appreciated ️

  • Get in... love love love ... it allllll :)

    I'm glad to hear hubby as you yourself  are doing well. I have my next checkup in April too. 

    Enjoy.... ohhhh everything.... its why persevering though what was thrown at us was worth while. Live it all to the full lass you deserve it all ️
