YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!
aka Lindsay - this is such absolutely brilliant news!!! Really pleased for you. I quite like the sound of the wording of your letter!!!
Hope you’re enjoying a celebratory weekend with your family xxxx
I would love those flowers for real
Ladies thank you for all your lovely posts, I still keep getting watery eyes. Must be pollen from those flowers
just watched my youngest play hockey on a very sunny but very windy pitch. My luck did not rub off. But it was pure delight to watch her, her battle with the eating disorder is looking like a thing of the past as well
Right wine and fizz chilling. Steaks bought. Bring on Strictly

Back here again for hubby diagnosed with oesophagus cancer - Sept. 2021
You’re allowed to scream - You’re allowed to cry - But do not give up
MAMMOGRAMS save lives, I'm the proof!!!
7 rounds of chemo, finished 30th May 2018. 15 zaps of radiotherapy, finished 26th July 2018.
I Survived .......... Sadly my hubby did not.
Dearest
Sending you massive congratulations, so very pleased for you. I can only imagine how the waiting has been for you.
I am 12 months (today) since operation. I have an annual check-up and mammogram in two weeks - it such a scarey feeling.
Plus, felt so down today - yet, I thought I'd be in a good place mentally - but no, quiet the opposite.
Again, so pleased for you - massive well done xxxxx
WhatHappened and all those heading for nastiversary
This could be We Survived thread
I know exactly how you feel, plus my illness, just felt I was being pushed back into the poop
More needed. Hope I've got enough bottles in for the coming weeks
Lindsay
Leolady56 - Yes we are all approaching the Nastiversary and I hope you had a few glasses to celebrate the good news!! I wish mine would hurry up as for the past week I've had a mild muscular ache inbetween my shoulder blades which of course I'm thinking is the nasty returning and then stressing like a lunatic making it worse! Well I've now got a bone scan arranged for next Friday to know for sure which I know il give myself scanxiety! arrrgh this poop is a right pain literally but hoping all will be ok as is with you! Xx
Very sorry to hear you’ve some pain at the moment. I’ve just been reading some guidance about exercise after breast cancer treatment. It prompts me to suggest you look at what exercise you are doing. Some stretches post exercise might also be to blame.
Apologies for sounding know all but guidance has helped me to moderate what I do and take more care. I hope that helps
Best wishes for good news after the bone scan.
