Awake and up all night

Thank you so much her appointment is at 10am .. I am really hoping that whatever it is can be treated like mine was .. I hope they just cut it out ... can't believe she had no other symptoms... and only noticed this lump because it was painful.. Dr said its painful because it is near a vein .... x mel

Morning Mel and good to hear from you.

So, less than three hours to go, so that's good.  Spend some time getting a little breakfast inside if you can and remain calm.

Aw lass, we'll all be willing it will work out like yours and her treatment will be painless and swift.  Fingers tightly crossed for that xx

Ok my lovely, I'll let you get on as a busy day is coming up, but thank you for letting us know what time your sweetheart's appointment is.

All the very best and take good care xxx

Morning Geoff, I also watched a couple of your You Tube videos this morning (thanks Gill for pointing me in the right direction x) 

Loved the aerial shots, you’ve got a talent hon! Shame that LittleHampton seemed to be closed for business How strange that all those businesses were closed on a Saturday morning. No wonder there was nobody around (apart from all those joggers - good grief there seemed to be an army of them). They’re not going to attract custom if they’re not open and made the place seem really sad. 

As my good friend GIll said, you’ve made remarkable steps over the last year or so. I even had my husband read your profile and he was amazed at what you’ve been through.

Be kind to yourself my friend, slap yourself on the back and tell yourself how well you’re doing. It’s amazing when we start to appreciate ourselves and lighten up the we attract people to us. Unfortunately the opposite is also true. Take each day as it comes and try to take note of the positive things that you’ve  achieved. Stop putting yourself down sweetie.

We all get our down times, I’ve definitely been in the doldrums over the last couple of weeks, hence I’ve been fairly quiet on the forum. Luckily I have Gill (wish bloody PM was working as I miss my HNC friends - Sian, Nige you know who you are and I miss you both). I’m a private person and am not comfortable sharing my feelings with more than a few people, so PM has been a lifeline. Hopefully it will come back up soon. There are a lot of people out there who need it.

So to quote an inspirational lady - I will sign off using her mantra (thanks Annette) - Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, Today is a Gift.

Strength and Hugs from west Wales xxx

Love your post to Geoff Debs!  I'm on a mini-mission to get more views and likes on his videos.  And you're right - the first person you should love is yourself, then others will follow suit.  Are you listening Geoff?

Hugs hon and chat later xxx

thanks .. we are not going to her appointment.. we have her 9yr old sister with us who is unaware of what's happening so we kinda have to keep it as together as possible

It must be a very scary time for you and your family. My heart goes out to you all. Best wishes for the appointment today.

Ah, right Mel.  Well I'm sure you'll manage to make sure her sister doesn't get wind of what's happening, even though you're bound to be on pins.  You'll do it, I just know you will; take it steady until you get the news.

The very best of luck being sent your way, with our love xxx

Hi Geoff

LWIC is the abbreviation for the forum called “Living With Incurable Cancer-Patients only”. 

Some forums are quieter than others, and sometimes people read a post but don’t reply or react. It doesn’t mean to say they don’t gain something from reading, just that they might not feel able to reply at that moment.

Morning Sarah and I hope you're doing well xx

Thanks for explaining to Geoff, as I forgot to say in my reply to him.  It's been busy here but I've kept wondering where you were.  It's good to see you back.

Love Gill xxx

Hi Gill

I’ve taken a few days not posting-we had a family bereavement last week so I’ve not felt like being here very much-just bobbed in and out of the community to check the groups I’m champion for. So I’m very behind on this thread, but just noticed Geoff wondering what LWIC was. Hope you and hubby are doing well.

Sarah xx
