Totally get the exhaustion. Who knew that feeling so stressed and low in mood could be so draining and exhausting!!!
Yes, I must admit...it's the margins that my mind keeps pulling back to.....I pray constantly they are clear margins and that we don't have to go through all that again...please god we both have clear margins! Xxxx
Lack of sleep don’t help either! I remember saying to one of my friends that I was going to ask to be put out longer when I had my operation just so I could sleep! X
Since being diagnosed I had to stop hrt which I had been on for 2 and half years. Now the night sweats are back with avengance which is making sleeping impossible. Even the wine doesn't knock me out!! Lol.xx
Poor you that’s not good. Maybe you need to try whiskey or gin!!!!! X
Hello Ladies. Hope you are all ok. What a strange journey this cancer roller coaster is. On finding my lump I was looking for reasons as to why it could be cancer. I have had moments where I have felt the lump is bigger, smaller, the same and moments of thinking I have months left.
Tomorrow I have my appointment and not going to lie nervous but relatively calmer than what I thought I would be (ask me again tomorrow morning, I think I will wear the brown knickers!!!) I am now looking fir reasons it can NOT be cancer. EG lump is moveable (I think) soft-ish (I think).
My BIG worry is if it is cancerous cells in lymph node it would move anyway?? Whereas an actual cancerous lymph node would be hard. I don’t know if this is making sense but this is where my mind is at.
ULTIMATELY - I am scared but need to know!!
Hello Chucky egg, you been on google again? Tomorrow is a big day, funnily enough when I got my diagnosis (albeit a cancer one) it was a relief to know what I was dealing with finally and not have to wonder anymore. I hope you manage some kip tonight......will be watching for your updates tomorrow!! Xxx
Ha you guessed it - unfortunately I have been googling again! This time looking fir why it can’t be!! I know - I am a silly moo!
How are you?? X
Thought you may have had a consultation with that awful dr again....he ought to be struck off.
Im not sleeping that well, I feel so tired when I hit the sack but as soon as my head hits the pillow my brain wakes up shouting...." oh no you don't! You've got margins to worry about and hormone inhibitors to take that will screw you up" lol....you see...your not the only drama queen here! I take a lot of beating!! Xxx
Are you challenging me Marlyn!!?!?!? Let’s see where I am tomorrow!!!!! But on a serious note I can not imagine how you must be feeling. However I know five people that have had several years breast cancer free. My friend is a GP and has assured me that a lot of money is spent in this area and it is one of the most treatable. XXX
