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

  • 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 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

    Please please get your dog into kennels ( there are sone great ones out there) and get yourself back to the hospital. Don’t punish yourself for someone else’s stupidity. I know your heart aches but it will mend but your health may not, You feel like you don’t want to go on now but that is letting him win! No man or woman for that matter is worth that. Please please help yourself now. Deal with him later....

    I’m there in virtual reality. If I could I would be there,  by your side in person.

  • Completely agree with Sundial. He doesn’t matter, you do. There are many people on here who would be devastated if if any thing happened to you. Without being rude, get your rear in gear and get back to that hospital. 

    If necessary, your dog can stay with me until you’re fit to be out and about.
