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. 

    Why are women so bossy. Hehe. X

    I think they are trained from a young age to put men in there place (under the thumb).

    I'm fine, apart from hot flushes and i mean HOT especially in this weather have to keep getting changed clothes wet through.. 

    Feeling alot more tired than usual aswell. 

    Voice hasn't changed, still shaving as much, no big boobs yet, time will tell. 

    Remember haven't been on new meds long yet, i hear from oncologist week next Wednesday if any thing is happening cancer count wise but might be to early to tell yet. 

    My too girls are still very bossy and keeping me on my toes, I'm still positive and fighting fit for my age well i think so, 

    Hope things are going well with with you and yours. 

    Love Billy xxx

  • Hi Sandra. 

    Brens psychiatrist came this morning and was really surprised how bren has improved, and can't see any reason why bren can't come off another tablet especially as she's improving so much, she's got a meting tomorrow afternoon so she'll phone us Thursday, 

    I've got the fan on but still sweating plenty, blood pressure is down so got to be careful talk to oncologist next week, brens having a few sweats now as well, bella's fast asleep still if she gets to hot she goes and lays in front of the fan. 

    Hope you and yours are well. 

    Love Billy xxx

    P.s only one tablet to go after this one 

  • Hello Everyone

     Chris I am so sorry to read your sad post sending you a massive virtual hug same to you Sandra as well. Definitely a cruel world but definitely the worse year so glad when it's over although of course what will next year bring? So much sadness this year.

    On a positive note my results from my mammogram came back clear! Least that's over with for another year!

    Big virtual hugs to you all xx 

  • Hi Billy well other than the hot flushes it's really sounding positive... so happy for you all. Fingers crossed for your meeting with the consultant ️

  • Chuffed to bits for you beach... great news ️

  • Afternoon peeps 

    bad :- so ... I have a mammogram annual ( had late but at least had it now and result..nothing of concern). I also see the consultant annual ..was delayed and supposed to be seeing this Monday but ... it's been cancelled and I get a telephone consultation end of December. Now tbh I'm fine with this but there are many others where this would not be fine. Really worrying sad times.

     

    Good:- enjoying my crafting and all in all ( despite everything going on Covid wise) life is ticking along nicely. :happy:

    hope everyone's day has been as good as it can be ️
