AWAKE.........

Judith  

Really pleased for you. Understand why you can't take it in. I think we condition ourselves for bad news and then good news seems too good to be true. It's like "okay, what's the catch?"

Wonderful news , so p,eased for you xxxxx

I have been feeling very low and tired lately, but beginning slowly to improve hopefully. I hesitate to post it on here, as I feel there are others much worse than me. There have been so many things going on recently, and in March I have my 2year CT scan ,bloods, colonoscopy, breast follow up, and bladder Botox. (Feeds a little into the beginning of April.) I have been feeling so dreadful that I am considering stopping the Letrozole. Been on it 9 years and soldiered on with the awful side effects. I will ask at my breast checkup.

Had a lovely lunch today with my very dear friend of 40 years. She is being seen on March 1st on the 2 week rule for possible colon cancer. She has kept it to herself for fear of upsetting me. I do hope she doesn't have to go through what I endured. She is a tough cookie though, even at 80. 

Thanks fior listening, lovely fruitloops xx

Firstly,Congratulations,...and totally understand the “while it takes to process”

And it might be worth mentioning the garnish salad to the Hotel where you ate...grrrrrrrrr...dont get me started.....i have worked in Hotels in my misspent youth and get mad at the costs and quality of Service... have they even heard of food hygeine Certificate???

dear ...so sad you are struggling and wish you had said all earlier for us to try n help you..(.you are forever helping us,and probably getting more exhausted than ever,I should think.)

You have been a Letrozole warrior...keeping on keeping on for 9 years!!..I keep wanting to stop it after 3,but..I stay on it because it may be saving my life...Who Knows.

So it is everso hard to know what to say...but somebody here will be able to help 

and I do hope your friend can come thro her 2-week rule with NAD.As you know so well,catching it early is the answer...things could work out really ok ?xXXX

I agree with Violetsniff. seaspirit44, you are always so kind and supportive to everyone. Don't worry about posting because you think others are worse. It's all relative and individual. I know the thread can seem a bit chatty and informal sometimes, but that doesn't mean we don't want to hear how everyone is feeling, good or bad. We are always here to help in any way we can and I'm sorry you are going through a tough time at the moment.

Big hugs

Sending another big hug to dear Seaspirit, so very sorry you’re struggling at present, you’re always so helpful and positive in your posts.....

Hi Judith,

Just read back, that’s really lovely news, and yes I do so understand the ‘sinking in’ takes a while, the shock of it all takes your mind by surprise! 

Hugs xxx

Thank you Violetsniff, and moomy xxI think it was who said 'this too shall pass' xxx

Just want to echo what others have said, seaspirit44, you're always posting encouraging and kind suggestions and comments, but we all have to feel able to say when we're feeling cr** or down, it's the whole point of this wonderful community that we share the highs and lows. Your year has been packed with lots of action which you'd never have chosen, yet you still seem to manage to enjoy activities which some people in 'full' health would struggle with! Many hugs, HFxx

Great news jmp , it is always odd isn’t it that we can’t seem to immediately accept good news , it is like we are expecting a catch ?! 

Well done toxophilite too ......

seaspirit 44 , sorry you have been feeling low , lots of tests coming up just reinforces the reality , and having a friend who might be diagnosed too brings all that anxiety back to the surface .,Hope the spring weather helps ....?! Tomorrow is another day ......

there was another mix up with my tablets today , I seem to be jinxed .......after waiting in pharmacy nearly an hour I came home and went back 4 hours later .....I suppose those 4 walks can  count as my exercise for today .....no interesting scenery though ! 

Hope I have not said anything tactless ......best wishes to all of you  x
