Hi LondonLass

I'm late to the party as usual but just had to come along when I read your post. You have been a huge source of support for everyone on this sight and I am always in awe of how you manage to post so much and say exactly the right thing, all while dealing with your own problems and working! It's hard to make a move from supporter to supportee but I think everyone has shown you that you can do that - they are all ready with outstretched arms!

Sometimes, posts get to us and I think everyone goes through the "why wasn't that me" feeling though maybe not in the same way. This community is such a welcoming and supportive place and you have played a big part in it. Milestones may not be the thing for you but you should celebrate your achievements - how many people you have helped - this unique and mammoth thread - getting back to work - etc etc, you know what they are.

You will, of course, be missed on the main board but you absolutely should be posting where you feel comfortable and if you need to step back for a bit, or for longer then that's how it goes. 

I know you've always resisted the psychological help, but now that you've taken a step towards it, I hope it helps. It's time to focus some of your energy on you.

Have some downtime from the new posts, take what you need from the site and recharge yourself emotionally. You tell others to pop us in their pocket, now that's what you must do - everyone is with you and supporting you in the background whether you are interacting or not. You don't get rid of us that easily hahaha!!

Look after yourself

Mornin lovly ladies

I did sleep last night i shall tell you why its cos i wer leatherd , found rattler cider 3 f a £5er in morrisons. Thats after 4pints in pub i drunk 3 rattlers nailed sleepin hat on. And iv no hang ower cos i dont do um. 

Now i no im buttin in but i need a very gud argumet to get both theses wonks OFF . Like i sed b4 last year i was waitin f the heres the catch. Cos it was such a gud result it was a lumpectomy n tamoxifen. 

Im avin a bone scan this tue , had contrast last week , go f results on 30th. The surgeon was60- 40% on a bouble i did make him shake my hand to a double.

On fri nite i had a complete meltdown i cried that much i wer phisically sik. 

I cannot comprehend y they wont take both off, myself and optimistic think its a new primary , he did say they dont no wer its from. 

Now please tell me wat to say wen i go bak . They did hint about takin LT wonk later on. Well i need to wake up with NON. Im not mitherd about reconstruction or prostethses(spelt rong) 

I believe once ther off ill be reet , i dont think its cum from elsewhere im just unlucky. Sorry f put the mokers on a positive post , however im desparate and vergin on cookoo nest. 

Hope all you lovly ladies have a beltin sunday. Im off up rivington we my dog Roland, he never interups wen i talk. Bless hes a gud lad. 

You lovly ladieas each and all ar beautiful inside and out. 

Keep smiling . Xxxx

mrsox, it sounds like you have made the decision that you are happy with and that you can live with! Well Done you, as I imagine it wasn't an easy decision.

I think I would write down/type a list of why you want the double as apposed to Just the one side! Make it as detailed as you can, if you can include some statistics on the chances of it returning if you leave the one breast, then add that. Make it as detailed as you can to show that this is an informed decision and not you having a mini meltdown! Avoid adding any emotions, just keep it to the facts! 

Then I would email it to your breast care nurse, or to your surgeons secretary so they have it before your next appointment.

I will have Lucky Pants at the ready on the 30th! But for now it sounds like you could do with a very Gentle, but reassuring Hug....

Hope you managed to enjoy your walk with Roland. Xxxxx

Hi managed to go back off slept till 8. Don’t feel to good so lazy day today.x

Mrsox, 

Hope you enjoyed the cider lol  !

You seem to have made up your mind regarding your treatment and don’t lose that determination if you feel it’s the right thing for you. 

I didn’t sleep well at all last night after taking my first Tamoxifen. Instead of a few sweats it turned out to be one long continuous drip - phew. Fan is ready for tonight and Summer duvet back on. Hope it gets better. Will really have to learn how to post those piccies!! 

Love Shey xx

Well Shey you are right! If you are going to join in funny pics are a must..........

This covers my day today! Xx

Hoping EVERYONE HAS HAD A GOOD REST..........

BECAUSE it's time to PARTY again!!

Well Done everyone 

Another milestone reached :-) xxxx
