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

  • 6 weeks you must have been going out your mind. I knew it was coming as it’s a year since I first went just wish it had been after next weekend as it’s my 50th birthday and could have done with out that on my mind! Oh well that’s life! Hope your feeling better  today x 

  • Hi Ladies,

    Just reading through the posts and it sounds like this dreaded cold and cough has got everyone. I had it at the weekend and sneezed and coughed my way through graces performance in snow white i went to watch at the local theatre. She saw me clapping with tissues in my hand and got upset as she thought i was crying bless her! Hope you all get better soon.

    Liliana...I guess its normal to feel depressed every now and then after the battles we've all had. Surround yourself with good people and hopefully it will pass :)

    Im typing this at my work desk after starting my first full week back full time. Suprisingly I am enjoying it. So nice to be back to a normal routine and feel like the old Dizzle again. I had my 20 week scan on Monday where they had a cardiologist involved to rule out any heart defects on the little man due to the Herceptin treatment I had when I didnt know I was pregnant, and the little troopers heart is perfectly normal. Even more good news :) Couldnt get any decent pics to show you as he was doing a weird head stand and scratching his ears with his feet (Now theres a talent). But Sonongrapher said he was growing beautifully and is above average weight and has very long legs. Hes definitely Jamies (Jamie is 6ft 4...Lol) He must be taking all my food at im almost 21 weeks and put on a grand total of 2.5lbs. Id put on about 2 stone by now with Grace. Im truely blessed with this little miracle. Im living proof good things can happen....sometimes you just have to be patient. 

    Beachbabe.....hope the mammogram goes well...sure you will be fine and hope all the poorly ladies are better soon!

    Dizzle xx

  • Thanks ladies. 

    Liliana, I felt anxious and down after the appointments stopped. It was like my safety net had been taken away. Those feelings have gradually reduced and I feel much more like the old me now. If these feelings are not getting any better and you are getting stuck the suggestion of support groups, or a moving on after cancer treatment has stopped course might help....if available in the States.

    Beach....wow what can I say. I cried all over again when it all aired on friday. They had my daughter on live again and at the end she was tearing up and just said I love you mum. I can honestly say that just to have those messages was enough. There is a video of it all on the heart fm (london) and john Lewis Facebook and instagram pages.

    Dizzle am so so so so so very happy about the little one....a true blessing, and being back at work full time now. You might find by Friday you are completely drained. Hopefully not but be prepared to be kind to yourself over the weekend. 

    If I've forgotten anyone I'm sorry. Keep the good fight going ladies x

  • Here is little Teddy with his casts :p

  • Can totally identify with the tax rebate. We keep winning the lottery at the moment. Only as much as £30 but it's so ironic you've got to laugh!

  • Just watched your video Cornish wow that’s amazing! So deserved! X
