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

Hi Claris

I was also diagnosed with DCIS after screening for breast cancer. It took a while to sink in. It wasn’t until I’d had an operation that it hit me and I had a day of bursting into tears. I hope you’re OK. For me it’s an emotional roller coaster.

I did need another operation and am trying to be positive about getting the results back.

I try to find something to do that is relaxing. Sometimes I just have a cup of tea. Other times I just sit in the garden and enjoy a sunny spot. I’m not sure if this is helpful because you might be feeling really tense.

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

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
