Positive biopsy results

So happy for you! But I was worried that your title of 'positive biopsy' actually meant something bad had been found!! Now go and enjoy Christmas xx

That is such good news!  And I will be wishing for the best possible outcome too with your PET scan.  I must admit to feeling more than a little envy at your positive mindset, I am a worrier.  However (as my daughter sent me) 'Worrying won't stop the bad stuff from happening, it just stops you from enjoying the good.'  Easier said than done for the worriers amongst us but I keep very very busy and that helps - and walking my dog!

Such good news about your friend too, and positive for those on the forum facing this surgery.

Now enjoy that beautiful day!

Hi Ally,

Great news on your biopsy results. So pleased for you . 
Obviously hoping all will be good on PET scan too. I have to say that I agree with Irene in that your positive outlook is just wonderful and inspiring. 
Also pleased to know that your friend is doing so well.

Enjoy the lovely day xx

I'm blaming that daft title on brain fog.

Have a lovely Christmas too xx

When I was a kid I never understood how my Dad could be so calm dealing with his ongoing health problems. He fought huge battles to stay with us, then enjoyed life as best he could in-between....I totally get his approach now and your daughter is right.

My problem is analysing everything, even the things that haven't happened, bats my better half's head and exhausts me. So I have set strict rules for myself or life would be hell. Both my GP and surgeon have worked me out and they bring me back to what is happening now, not what might happen in the future.

Like you I use distraction, hence 2 huge freezers full of food.

When I'm painting tomorrow I will think about you keeping your mind busy with your dog walks and fresh air.

As always thank you for your encouragement and kind words xxx

Thank you PEB24 for the kind words and supportive messages, it really means a lot to me.

This is great news AllyL , hopefully your PET scan results will follow suit which I’m sure it will. 

I'm a natural born worrier! Even now 7 years post treatment my mind still wanders to the what ifs sometimes. I find distraction is the best medicine. Like Irene I get out with my dog, I pop my headphones in, put on a podcast & walk as long as my hips/back will allow or a bit of retail therapy is always good

I’m pleased to hear that your friend is recovering & her surgeon is happy with the place she’s at. 

Once again it’s great to hear your good news.

Thank you so much Nicola for the support.

Totally agree about the distraction and our pets really stop us from dwelling on the 'what ifs'.

Like you, I love retail therapy, the couriers from UK to Bulgaria are kept very busy and Temu is addictive.

I'm pushing the PET scan to the New Year as I would like the biopsy site to be fully healed. Once it's done the results will be quick and they will act quickly if more treatment is required.

Have a lovely day.

Hi Ally

I was away having a post scan pre-Christmas break when I read the title of your post then my phone battery went before I could read all the details so I was a little concerned for a short while but then was very pleased when I read that your news was actually positive, I didn’t reply straight away as I didn’t have my login details with me, really good news about your friend as well.

So fingers crossed for the PET scan when you have that done in the NY, keep thinking those positive thoughts and it’s good to know they will act quickly if needs be.

I can really relate to the distraction and analysing everything, although I have a bit of an excuse as I get paid to do that anyway, I just have to shift focus!

Hope you manage to distract yourself all over Christmas so you can have a lovely time.

Can't believe the stupid title Monty, I'm blaming it on brain fog. 

Hope you had a lovely relaxing break with your family.

No problem with the distraction, it's now 4 degrees outside, so inside work starts. Little break over Christmas and then a new kitchen and bathroom on the drawing board.

Sending Christmas wishes to you too.
