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

  • Gonna be off somewhere between 2 and six weeks. Only had six weeks off during the whole of cancer treatment. 

  • Take the 6 lol. Tbh I would cos if someone at work knocked me foot I’d plant them;)

    Can’t even imagine you being inactive for any time.... got a feeling you will be pushing the line of how soon you should be doing things :) x

    bad:- none

    good:- first school run done ... I enjoyed the walk ( that will prob wear off lol).

    lovely day but forecast to rain school pick up time... of course it is. 

    Just changed pharmacy where I get my meds. Old one was so bad. Rpt dispense but never ready.. always can u come back tomorrow. Never been in without someone other than me having a problem too. Asked them a question once nd the answer was “fingers crossed” not the right response regarding mediation. My needs were few - meds ready to pick up once a month.... who knew that was a big ask lol. Anywhose... picked up from new one no bother and they will now send me a text when they are ready to pick up in future. Just had 1st text welcoming me to the new pharmacy nd future text will be sent. Now there’s a win already. Guess it’s true If service is rubbish change provider. 

    Have as good a day as you can peeps x

     

  • Hi all 

    Brenda slightly better, but still in pain especially when I clean her I'm as careful as I can be but she still jumps but at least she's not screaming now so its a start. She's not had any pain killers since yesterday morning so she's slightly awake (just).

    Just got weekly shop done so no more galavanting till next week, day looking good so far,

    Hope all is well as can be,

    so happy to read Brenda is a bit better. Did the dr examine her and tell u what the problem is. 

    Main thing is she is s bit better. 

    I popped t shops too on way back from school run.... got a casserole on the go for tea tonigh ( when I say making I mean I’ve chucked everything into the slow cooker lol).

    take care x

  • Morning dragonfly 

    just wanted t say thinking of you and hope all is as well as it can be. 

    Hope you are kicking back getting well watching movies, eating chocolate ( I know u don’t drink wine so some heart warming cup of teas order of the day:) ).

    take care lass x ️X

  • Hi Sandra Dr didn't examine her I was a bit surprised, I told him what 111 said told him about the swelling and the pain he did say if doesn't improve hospital but wants to see if less pain takes the swelling down, so we wait again, it just like on forum wait wait and more wait.,... Billy

    hope u nd Bren had a good nights sleep.

    i am so surprised the dr did not examine her too. Not sure what to think about that. 

    If she is not getting better nd in pain you might need to think about contacting the dr again..... but you are there and I am not so you will know best :)

    take care x
