Hi all

Pain in ribs driving me nuts and very chest so got X-ray done - gotta wait for those results but my son surprised me on Saturday and came home!!!! My best Xmas present ever!!!!!!! Lifted me up so much and thankfully before new tier announcement!

So I had to get some info about my sisters cancer and let's just say that didn't go too well and really makes me wonder why I even bothered! If it wasn't so important I would not have even told them but still no info so I have now written them off. 
Xmas  is looking very merry as I have both my children are with me. I couldn't ask for anymore.

I thank you all for the continued support. Feels a little bit harder this time around but I know I've got this.

You all keep warm, keep safe and enjoy every day.xx

Hi Billy,

I'm so sorry to hear this, but praying that this is just another cyst. Here's hoping that Brenda gets it seen to soon.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

Kindest regards,

Hi jolamine.

Take care and keep safe.

Hi Billy,

I'm glad to hear that Brenda isn't too concerned. It's not so convenient when you can no longer drive. We are just coming to terms with this with my hubby. He has recently been diagnosed with vascular dementia. This has followed on from a quadruple by-pass 14 years ago, followed by pneumonia, a stroke and several mini strokes throughout the years, resulting in heart failure. He has been told to stop driving, which he accepts, but is not happy about.

At present I do all the driving, but I have recently presented with a number of new symptoms which are pointing towards metastases. I am currently waiting to be seen at the breast clinic again, but may be stopped driving myself, as I have had a number of seizures for no particular reason.

I hope that nothing untoward is found with Brenda.

Kindest regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi Jolamine

Life sure does deal some curveballs! You and your husband are admirable - keep going.  I do hope that the breast clinic goes okay but please do let us know. When is your appointment? 
This *** disease just keeps going and going....

Sorry I'm not being very helpful but feel so many emotions right now. Need to get my act together.

I hope you are taking it easy and have some help. This site sure does help so big virtual hug to all.

Virtual hugs from me too Jbains Jolamine and Billy. Chin up and fighting face on. You know the drill. It's tough but you've all done it before. Positive vibes sent to you all.

Hi Jbains,

I will certainly let you know how things go. I don't have a date yet, as my consultant refused to see me initially, saying that my type of cancer was unlikely to recur. As it recurred 3 times in the first year after diagnosis, I wasn't convinced. My wonderful GP examined me, found a lump and offered to write back to her, so I'm still waiting.

I am delighted to hear that your son is home and I hope that you and your family have a great time together. This is just the lift you need and, I hope that it takes your mind off things for the time being.

Kindest regards,

Jolamine xx.

Hi Sundial,

Many thanks. I'm certainly ready to come out fighting again.

Will keep in touch.

Kindest regards,

Jolamine xx

Afternoon peeps 

People often refer to our cancers as a roller coaster and let's face it never a truer word. 
 

jbains, I'm so glad your son surprised you and got home for Christmas. I just bet that out a big smile on your face ️. 
 

Hope all goes well with Bren Billy. Sucks about your driving. Mind you I have hardly driven my car this year. What with most places closed one time or another. Tell Bren I'm asking after her and take care of yourself too. X

I was so sad to be reading your post Jolamine. I hope all goes well at your appointment. I don't get why we practically have to fight to be seen. Sending virtual hugs and got everything crossed for best outcome possible ️.
