AWAKE.........

Had to post this picture seaspirit44 you made me laugh so much with the carp it cheered me up xxxx

The pic cheered me up too Optimistic, will have to keep on making typos! Xxxxx

LondonLass, so sorry this horrible situation is ruining your Christmas. Big hugs xxxx I think the advice given by Ruby Roseis excellent--you need some space to get all the info you can about your rights before you make a decision. And I think you will find it very upsetting indeed to continue with them , knowing it is coming to an end, knowing you will be saying goodbye to the little girl, and knowing how badly they havpve treated you. I realise you are worried about a reference. It is very difficult. Good luck xxxx

So true,...people do need to spend a while in our shoes....today,for instance,I had to cancel going to see my friend as I had stiff pains in my left hip,probably due to my letrozole.And it is 2 years since my op!!(DIEP)and I wanted to see her and visit the Sales!!(important for pensioners!)

I made the right decision .While I was in the bank standing for AGES in the queue,I felt very sorry for myself as I couldn't put my bags down,as it hurt too much to bend down to lift them up....and coming back down the road (no car)with food shopping,limping.

only other cancer sufferers know ,it is not all over when its over!!xx

please keep on making thetypos,

Glad you had a reasonable day xxxx

Loving your typos,

So very very true , xxx

Sorry you were weepyOptimistic, Christmas is an emotional time, even when it is happy. I spent quite a lot of the last day or two in tears, often at very short notice, and over nothing. Xxx

Optimistic, LondonLass gosh I think with it being a time of festive cheer it just makes it all the more harder to get through.  I am trying very hard to distract myself and I think it just seems to magnify the whole lot, plus it just doesn't help with having to nip into hospital for a blood test today and again tomorrow for pills.  Tomorrow it will be a year since I have been diagnosed.  I just don't have anyone really to talk to...j£3ust have to pretend everything is ok.  My sister in law gave us for Chirstmas £300 for a weekend with the kids.  I can't travel at the moment, hot that I want to.  I know she was trying to be really thoughtful, but I don't think a weekend away will make it any better, and it will not resolve or be a solution to anything.  Anyway, enough of me being a Grinch. Sending everyone lots of hugs, it's just nice to know you are all at arms length.  xxxx
