Hi All!

I hope everyone managed to get at least a little bit of respite from the fear and anxiety this weekend.

Vicki - how was the beach hut? Hope that fresh air did the trick for you.

Take care of yourselves xx

I took the kids to the cinema on Saturday, and then had my sons 4th birthday party on Sunday. So I've managed to keep quite well distracted!! 
 

The breast clinic just called, and they've moved my results appointment to 9:40 on Thursday, instead of 11:40. So at least I don't have to worry all morning. It will be school run, then appointment!! Praying for benign results!! Xxx

Glad you kept busy. Praying for benign results for you also

I've been rebooked at 10.30am tomorrow for my ct scan. Xx

Thank you Vicki,

Oh good! I'm glad you don't have to wait long! Have you had your MRI results yet? Xxx

No. I wouldn't get those directly I don't suppose. I've an appointment to see my consultant on Saturday at 10am with the hope that he has both MRI and CT scan results by then. Valium will be needed for sure. Xx

Oh ok. Bless you, I hope they're both clear and you can start to feel positive about your treatment plan. Xxx

All the best for your CT tomorrow. Sending positive vibes x

Thank you lovely people. Glad the biopsy wasn't so bad. Onwards and upwards! Xx

Thank you!

Can't sleep!! Never been a great sleeper but this is another level! Mind is whirring. Any tips for weighing down my eyelids??!

xx

Oh bless you!! I have some twining tea bags, called Sleep! They've been really helping me! Or watch a funny  film, read.

I hope you nodded off eventually! Xxx

Hello

So sorry you couldn't sleep. A whirring mind is awful. I've had a prescription of sleeping tablets from my GP for if I cannot sleep. I also had some valium from a while back and if I have a bad headache, I take cocodomol which has codeine and all of those things help to chill me if I need them. What I have found to be the MOST helpful though, is meditating twice or three times a day. That and taking an epsom salts bath daily as that is a great stress reliever also. Sorry I was not awake in order to message you back and help you. Deep breaths are key and reminding yourself that thoughts are only thoughts and aren't necessarily true. How are you now? 

I had my pet ct scan today. It was absolutely fine. xxx

Glad your scan was ok, Vicki! Xxx
