AWAKE.........

 Very apt for world book day, Northerner . 

I bought a new book yesterday, always have a few ready to dive into. I used to be so deep into books that an elephant careering through the room wouldn’t make me lift an eyebrow. Not so much now, but I do like to keep a stock ready for Goldie-van trips, in case of rainy days.

Hello Fruit Loops,

Hoping everyone is as well as they can be - thinking of you all and sending lots of love and hugs.

We have tree surgeons coming to reduce top from willow tree and also neaten up the conifer hedge and the laurel hedge - let's see how this goes.  I really am hoping that its not to late in the season for the willow tree - I didn't want it earlier due to the frost - trouble is we now have tiny green shoot sprouting.  I so pray the tree will be okay.

They are coming at 7:30am ..... yes 7:30 A.M.!!  so I best be going it's just turned 10 past 1 in the am.

Sending love and hugs to everyone xxx

Hello, I joined this community around September last year and 6 months on I’m still in active treatment. I I’ve had a partial mastectomy and have remained positive for the most part until recently when I had nipple discharge from the breast being treated. I have been seen and they’ve taken swabs and as you would all be too familiar with- I am waiting for the results. This situation is weighing me down and am struggling a wee bit. I just wanted to say it out to people who understand. Even though I have family and friends supporting me, they don’t always get it. Since this has happened and on a few occasions I feel re traumatised and going through all the emotions I experienced when first diagnosed. It’s been a week since I was seen and results usually take 2 weeks.

Waiting for results and potential treatment is hard. We carry fear but have to cope to hide behind the brave face for some. It is so easy for someone to say the wrong thing, which can lead to ruminating on what they meant. I put people straight if I can. Hope for the best outcome and acceptance of treatment, if it's needed is the way I play it. Fingers crossed for you it has a simple answer but if not you'll deal with it in the way you did last time. 

Just read some of your bio. I was a Nurse all my working life in some capacity. Retired at 60, I started work at 16 yrs and I had 2 to care for, one being my Mum at retirement. I had my surgery 15 mths ago and am trying to live again. I think the first year was about recovery and working out what I wanted. My son has an inborn error of metabolism and is Epileptic. Nursing and health visiting has helped me work with the support services and medics to keep him alive, I s how it feels. 

You are still quite young and hopefully have a lot more life in you. I've just had my first Zoledronic Acid infusion, I have osteoporosis and I take Tamoxifen. I dance when I can and try to stay fit. 

Loose women today discussion about secondary treatment or rather lack of !

To lighten the mood and remind you of the troubles we get on the roads….
