cyber slap time then ...lol

1 minute read time.

I have taken a drive down Paranoia Street and found a nice big parking space on Nervous Avenue, results from my lumpectomy are due tomorrow and I can feel that horrible dread I felt last week waiting for the biopsy results. It hasnt helped that I saw a few of my notes on computer screen and one subject was do not delay diagnosis (what is that all about) but that note wa made before I had my op so trying not to run too far up neurosis road with that one.

Thought it would be a good idea to try and shake myself out of this by going to M n S to treat myself to a new bra as the ones I have are not very comfy. The assistant (a lovely lady called Victoria) measured and after explaining the dressings went off and brought back what she thought would be most appropriate.

Well I am now offically my mother.......this bra was huge and would fail to raise the temperature of any male other than through too much laughing. She saw the look if dismay on my face and then I got the sympathetic look and she explained that once everything had settle down M n S do a really good range of pretty girlie bras for women who have had breast surgery with matching knickers but not at that store as it was too small. I thanked her for her time and patience and had to admit that the granny bra I was by now wearing was really comfy so threw pretty out of the window and went for the comfort. 

I hate feeling like this as normally I am a really happy, slightly quirky type of woman but this thing seems to have robbed me of my sense of humour for the time being, however reading all your blogs I am starting to realise that I will get back that side of my life in time.

Enough rambling from me and I have given myself  good hard cyberslap Debs, will speak to you all tomorrow once the dreaded results are in, mind you if those terrible twins can get through on X factor then there must be some hope for me...lol

take care love Terri xxx

    Oh Terri, no cyber slap needed....I think you were pretty brave at M&S, I have never been measured.....gawd the thought of getting my boobs out since they lost the will to defy gravity is wayyyyyy too scarey - without surgery!!!!!!!!!

    When I was admitted for brain surgery, the guy who was sent to go through a questionnaire and get blood got called away and left my notes on the table - of course I sneaked a peek it said "PROBABLY MALIGNANT" I burst into tears in front of 3 other women on the ward and could hardly speak.......no one had even raised the possibility of this before me.......tut tut shame on them for hiding such scarey stuff.  Learnt my lesson that day - don't go reading things you shouldnt LOL

    Waiting for results of any kind is the worst, I go into panic mode after having a bloodtest!!!!

    Whatever it takes is my motto, you can borrow it if ya like ;)

    Keeping busy (even if it means getting ugly, comfy bras from M&S) is best till your results tomorrow. Aren't we funny? You sneaked a peak, so did Debs and so did I. All I saw on mine was that I was triple positive. We're gonna find out anyway, but still, the need to know ANYTHING prevails I guess.

    I wish you all the best for tomorrow. Keep us updated and good luck hun...

    PS I'm officially my mother too now with my own ugly, comfy bra from M&S - purchased the day I left hospital. But wow, it's very comfortable lol!

    Ha ha - had to laugh at Debs saying about getting her boobs out - I had a breast reduction 5 years ago and now, with scars underneath them, and huge scar right down my middle, I look like something out of chainsaw massacre. Would give someone nightmares.

    Seriously though, sometimes the anticipation of bad news is just bloody awful. Hoping it isn't bad, but if it is, take a deep breath and say 'ok - so what's the plan?'  Just having a game plan can make you feel better. Keeping fingers crossed for you, Jeanie x

    I got measured for new bras in M&S shortly after my surgery and was astonished at the size she told me I should be wearing (much smaller back size but much bigger cup size). I have had to resort to full support bras, and although not the sexiest looking, by God they're comfy. Getting older is very hard!
