It’s good to have cry … so needed. I do the same. Bird song is so therapeutic. Being in nature is the answer. I love standing under one of the trees in our garden and feeling the breeze.

Thanks for your reply

Hoping to stay strong 

Take care

Evening, I cried the day the told me but that was out of frustration as I was meant to have bariatric surgery because I also need my knees replacing. However due to the diagnosis it was delayed and I’d worked so hard to get to that point. Even now I’m due to start my radiotherapy I still feel like it’s not happening to me. So far all my results have all been positive but I just feel numb to the whole thing.
occasionally I get into my own head and when that happens I tend to sleep. I’m struggling with joint pains at the moment. 
Hope you’re journey goes well 

I’m sorry to hear how hard you had worked to get to the point when you could have  bariatic surgery. Then to have that delayed because of a diagnosis of cancer. That’s really tough! It’s good that your results have been positive so far. If it’s OK to ask has anyone let you know how long after radiotherapy you could have the surgery that would help with your joint pain?

Thank you for replying to me.

Wishing you all the best for the future at this difficult time

Thank you Henri

Today there were lots of birds in the garden. It was so lovely to be outdoors in the sun.

Take care

Hello again. I’ve just woken to birdsong. I can hear them outside my window. Don’t feel so good after my mini operation today. Loads of self care today. Oh and rest. I hope you can get rest too and peace of mind which I believe is equally important. I feel as if I’ve been thrown in at the deep end and nothing prepares you. I hope you can enjoy the outdoors.i will be staying out of the sun as much as I can now. 

wishing you all the best

Hi Henri

Birdsong …. what a beautiful sound….               I hope bit by bit you’ll start to feel better….

Having an operation does take it out of you.

Being thrown in at the deep end is a good way to describe what’s happening.

I’ve been standing out doors in the garden under the shade of a tree, with a cup a green tea…. that helps…

Tomorrow I’m going to a hospital appointment to see one of the nurses. It’s to check how the wound is healing.

I’m attempting breathing exercises to keep as calm as possible!?!!

Wishing you all the best 

Take care of yourself 

Yes Henri, sitting in my garden listening to birds is soothing. Staying open to whatever helps is vital

I totally agree. I’ve just ordered a cd with birdsong I could listen all day. This time of year is so lovely. Sadly my Dad recently died, then my Uncle and now I have skin cancer????? But I will keep going, but taking more care of me now and I hope you are too. 

Good luck when you see the nurses. I hope you can keep strong. I’ve just ordered a cd with birdsong I love it. I’ve just recently lost my Dad and Uncle in the last two months and now carcinoma. But I will keep strong, lots of meditation and rest. Good luck to you
