Awake and up all night

I am always amazed at the inner resources of people who are really ill and go through such testing times and who find smiles and are still wanting to reach out and hold hands (or kick backsides) with others who are troubled.

It is not right that we often have to be our own advocates and fight for appointments, information, options, support etc 

Having said that, my previous cancer treatment journey was swift and I happened to have one of, if not THE best surgeons.

Good to know you are still in the driving seat ha! Quite literally

Cheers 

Hi thanks for chatting, I am going to try a snooze. Great welcome 

Take care

I hope you do not have to wait too long to have a diagnosis. Once the way ahead is mapped out it does seem to calm the mind a bit as there is something to focus on. I'm pleased to hear that your earlier experiences were good. I must also sign off soon. Thank you and goodnight.  Ray xx

Helen, love the term 'scanxiety'.

A very good morning Shimmering, and a warm welcome from me, too 

Your conversation with Soc and Ray was really interesting, but as it was 3.30am I didn't want to reply until a more respectful time. Fingers crossed that your eventual diagnosis won't reveal anything alarming and also that you recover quickly from your injuries.

As you've already found out, the members here are amazing and we chat about anything, from Muller Corners to the more serious issues, so jump on board and fill your boots - including the bondage boot issue!

Sending you lots of love and hugs, sweetheart xxx

Morning Steve

Scanxiety is a good one - it sums up the feeling in a nutshell.

Hope you're doing ok today fella xxx

Morning Gill, I'm still falling to bits, literally.  When I opened emails this morning there were 60 new emails on the 'Awake and up all night ' forum.  Wow!!!

I'm trying to catch up with them.

It was eddiel who said people were asking about me.  That's nice! 

Are you going to watch the World Cup?  I think I might watch some of the games.  I've got a prediction who will win... Brazil v Spain in the final with Brazil edging a win.

Take Care 

Hi lovely lady. Hope you're ok. You're a strong Yorkshire lass for sure, but wanted you to know it's ok for you to have a moan. God knows you've supported me and the Awake crew millions of times.Pippin aka Piippsqueek Pudding sends you all his furry love.

Aw sorry to hear you're falling apart Steve - can the broken bits be mended? I got an image of C3PO's legs coming off when I used to play with my lass at Star Wars. Or was that R2D2?

Anyway hon, take things easy and hopefully you'll get yourself sorted. Aye, a couple of us were worried about you but Eddie put our minds at ease.

We had a bet on the Mexico v SA game last night but when in the bookies I poked my nose in and urged OH to go for a draw, as opposed to the win, as the returns were higher. It obviously didn't pay off so I'll keep my beak closed in future. What I will tell him is your tip, so thanks Steve, and fingers crossed.

I hope you'll feel better soon my lovely, and here's a big hug xxx
