O M G !!! HIGH 5 TO YOU .... I'm over the moon ... those boxing gloves are really amazing ... that cancer takes one look at em and he shakes in its shoes ...
That's exactly the same as mine ... except I didn't have radiotherapy coz of my bones ... but you know it couldn't be a better result ... you go girl ....
I'm mega proud of you .. you stuck with us, even when it was getting overwhelming.... now hope we don't loose ya ... now you know how scary it all is ... there will be others that are scared witless that you can help ... it's the worse part ... that horrible wait for everything ...
Hey Chrissey, you are an amazing woman! I feel very weird today, but I guess it takes a while to sink in. It was 'quite a meltdown' for sure! Nurse was saying "breathe, breathe or you will pass out" Poor surgeon, but I'm sure he's seen it a hundred times, if not thousand's. Bonkers women with their dodgy boobs. Lol. Blessed to have such a wonderful friend to be there to support, help, hug, let me get it all out of my system last night.There was a lot to get out! Feels like a new start now, a new beginning.Think the sheer power of the 'meltdown' was the release of 2 months of wall 2 wall stress and fear. For me, the fear has been unbelievable hard, clearly I'm a wimp in comparison to others. I have truly never experienced fear like it. My way of describing cancer is it is a terrorist who has hijacked a plane and you are the passenger. I do try to support others on here ( some satisfied customers it seems)......I think it really is a fantastic thing to have and if I help anyone, even if only a little, that's a good thing. Reassurance, both getting and giving. There are times you think you are literally going insane, but it is the terrorist working on you. So Chrissey, you are the equivalent to the SAS, Harrison Ford, and the 6th Emergency Service, all rolled in one, mama hen! So, where's the Plum head today? Tricky this as I can't cope with details about treatment , the science of it, I think I have rationalised that I aren't going to die ( never was but it felt like it - how Stage 3/4 peeps cope is beyond my comprehension). I know I am unbelievably blessed in many ways, the friend who has given so much support, abandoning her dog and fella to come stay with me for 'the big days', like yesterday, the skill of the surgeon, neighbours, colleagues all rallying around. But truth be told, you just wish deep down that it had never happened; you never boarded that plane. Life changing circumstances and all happening so quickly. But you and others on here are testament that you adapt, survive, learn to live with the new life you suddenly have. Laugh when you can. Now a matter of accepting the new life, getting on with it and making the most of it. Glad I have a few weeks gap between treatment to do this, constantly up/down to Hosp was an onslaught. Hate the sight of the place, yet it saved my life - that's a hard one to square in your head too.... terrorist at work again , probably! I'm not sure I am a boxer, but yes we are all fighting and what can be done, practically, positively to make a real difference. Goes without saying I'll be donating to all the cancer charities (some more) , but it seems so little, you feel so useless strapped into that seat at fifty thousand feet. I have colourful prose, so don't worry, I'm absolutely fine, just trying to articulate how it feels. Hope everyone OK today, too.
I'm with you on the plane ride ... but to me, I felt like I was up in the clouds on that plane .. then I got pushed out and had a parashoot on .. and not knowing if would open ...
Never been called Harrison Ford before ...lol .. lots of other things in my time .. but that's a first .. I'll take that ... you did good ... bet you sleep better now ... Chrissie xx
