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 Dizzle so good to hear from you and thrilled you are getting back on track.

    You will have good and bad days but I have to say that if this is how Jamie behaves he would not be a good support for you at the moment.

    Concentrate on yourself as they say ‘you are worth it’!

    And keep in touch because we all care about you xxx

  • Hi, yes have an appointment with specialist on 15th to discuss biopsy before Christmas and see how it is going with the Anastrozole. Also waiting for an appointment with the oncologist who wants to discuss additional treatment apparently. Not sure what that means.

  • Hi dragonfly 

    not too long to wait for the 15th. After starting my meds I had a 6 wk meeting with consultant then a 6 month nd I’m back in April which is another 6 month. He asks how I’m getting on with meds and I also get an examination.

    When u are there ask why u are back to see oncologist etc. Mind you when I asked my consultant what treatment did he think the oncologist would be advising he said ... he knew nothing of the dark arts of oncology so best to wait till I see them lol... 

    Keep up with the you time for now. Rest if you need - kick up ya heels if u fancy :-) the 15th is the next step then That’s another step out the way. 

    Any plans for today.... my signature position became lie in garden or conservatory with glass of wine nd book .... kinda how I envisioned retirement would be... minus the cancer tho. Have a good day lass x

     

     

  • Morning peeps 

    wanna check in dizzel?.... remember we are are here for everyone’s good and bad so whatever yours is today we are here ️

    Just wondering how our chemo ladies are doing? 

    The bad :- I wrote 2 reviews on items I bought nd they have both been rejected as not conforming to guidelines lol.

    I was fair glowing about the items but..did slate the customer service side. 1st review I ended by saying it took 3 visits and 4 wks for money to b credited to my account for items returned ... well it was a fact (  just not processing it right).

    Nd 2nd well might have overstepped a bit erm may have partook in some wine beforehand :-0 ....have a read...”ordered on line to pick up at local shop. Love love love both items I collected. Sooo comfortable and stylish, highly recommend, quality buy.  Staff at shop however... oh dear.... always feels like the shop scene from pretty woman when I collect. I do not know them personally....they need to get over their belief in their own self importance when dealing with paying customers” Again ... fact but hey ho  lol. 3 rd review for something else been accepted ... item nd experience top notch ... and... it’s the only one entered into a draw for a £500 vouch lol would b cracking if I won heh heh... tho not holding breath ;-)

    good :- worth spending time writing reviews 1 third success rate ha ha . 

    Have a goodin peeps x
