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

  • Eee rileyroo woman after me own heart lol. I actually get on well with my ex husband and yes his new wife ( she is really nice and it was nothing to do with her why I divorced my ex). I am being honest with no sour grapes at all when I say with absolute confidence my life was and continues to better than if we had stayed together.

    His food was cooked nd on table when he came in from work ( even 2am when he worked late shift...I was expected to wait up for him with meal ready). If he went to bed it was expected I went same time... even I was in middle of watching something it was switched off. I did everything for the lil ones... he only popped into their bedrooms to say goodnight. All housework had to be done while he was not there. Yet he was surprised I could manage without him being there.... probably why I take no **** now lol. 

    Yup def better we did not stay together.

  • Hey pippin welcome to us crazy sexy mamas thread!

    It's a tough time but you'll get thru this. One day at a time and one step at a time. Deep breaths and take it easy and listen to your body. Recovery from every bit is very slow but every one reacts differently. Do things you enjoy and have happy times.

    You will get thru this. It may seem very scary and very lonely but remember we are here with you so just come onto this thread and we will be there to help support as best we can.

    Ladies - hope you are all ok. Dizzle let us know you are ok.

    Got mammo results and all clear. Hurray!! That's a relief! I am flying off to Canada tomorrow so pushed for results and can relax now.

    Keep warm and keep well ladies.

  • Hi jabains

    bad....none 

     

  • Hi everyone.

    Out of hospital....well they wanted to keep me til the weekend but discharged myself. Was worried for my dog and my house. Marker went down to 284 so still really high and still in agony and feel really poorly. Not only that been coughing up blood all day. Petrified it's something sinister but also in the mindset I don't care anymore. Jamie answered saying it wasn't his problem anymore and not to contact him again. How can someone a week ago say the can't wait to call you their wife and how much they love you then be so cold and cruel. I don't understand. If I did this would be a whole lot easier. I'm walking the dog in tears, bursting into tears at the corner shop, crying when some song comes on the radio. I never thought my heart could ache this much. I now know how people can die from it. Never felt pain like it. I don't know what I did so wrong to warrant this. There's something more to it. There has to be. Just didn't see it coming xx
