So in  5 days time I have the operation to remove the tumour - randomly known as Ian.
Blast them for not getting a letter out to you yet.
Pleased to hear you’re all sorted now. What a fiasco that was though lol.
Leolady56 Ooooh I had a friend with that, she said it was really painful, I hope you’re on the mend soon.
Had a counselling session today, not sure if it’s for me if I’m honest. I will go to the next one and then make a decision as to continuing with it or not.
Consultant tomorrow for nuclear scan results and more info on what happens next. I’ve got a list of questions for him
Hope all is good with everyone else xx
Agree plantar fasciitis is no fun at all. Hope it subsides quickly enough for some galloping to resume
Finally letter arrived, scans next weds. As it happens my 6m check up appointment had already been scheduled for the following week, before it all kicked off again, so guessing that will be retained and used for surgery date planning appoint, well hoping so.
Good luck for tomorrow jacks77
Hi all!! I’ve not been getting notifications either until the other day
So good to know how everyone is but sorry to hear that and jacks77 are still experiencing the poop. Sounds like Leolady56 has been going through the wringer as well, hope your skies will be sunnier again soon.
JammyR - Pleased to hear you’re doing so well at work, but it’s a shame it’s because your friend is on the C train. Hope Libby and DH are both ok.
I’ve been struggling a lot with PTSD type symptoms since the end of treatment last summer. My BCN was not the best on empathy or compassion so I changed after doing the Moving Forward course. I assumed the course would bury my demons but it didn’t. BCN referred me to Macmillan for CBT which is really helping sort and process “stuff”. My daughter is still struggling with anxiety and an eating disorder and son has had leg surgery and still needs 3 ops. Not ideal but has to be done. I wasn’t coping well with working shifts on a random pattern so Occupational Health have made several adjustments which should mean I can continue working.
Take care everyone xXx
well at last you’ve got your letter with scan dates. The sooner you get them done and your surgery date the better, LJJr is not welcome and needs to be got rid of once and for all.
It seems we’ve all started getting notifications again, long may it last. I did the Moving Forward course and like you it didn’t help me in the way I thought it was going to. There was actually far too much about chemo, RT etc when we’d already had all of that treatment. I did meet a couple of ladies that I’m still in touch with so that was an added bonus. I hope the CBT continues to help you. Sorry to hear about your daughter, it must be very difficult for you. My granddaughter is struggling with the whole world at present too. She is just 14 and doesn’t go anywhere alone due to anxiety, they are saying she’s on the autistic spectrum as high functioning but my daughter is waiting for an official opinion, it’s only been a 15 month wait so far!!
I saw my BC consultant today as planned who began the appointment decidedly sheepish trying to cover over the length of time it’s taken to get to this point. I did feel the need to say that I knew something was wrong from last September and that I was surprised nobody had thought it could be this. I’ve now been referred to a consultant in Haematology to deal with the UEDVT as they will set up a plan of action and monitoring. He said it will be a long term process and if anything else changed to contact the BC unit straight away.
Unfortunately the nuclear scan pictures were there but the report hadn’t been written up so he couldn’t give me the green light that it was clear. He said he will let me know as soon as he gets it so it’s a bit of a waiting game still.
Love and hugs to you all xx
how many of us have done that in the past hey Leolady56! Highly annoying.
Scan been done, now got a cheeky afternoon off work, was planning on going back in, but cannula cap came off in scanner during set up so then had blood on my top. Came home to change and grab my lunch, text boss to explain had to come home 11st and they said they weren't expecting me back in the afternoon anyway, so win win.
Should hopefully find out the plan next week as I had my 6m check up appointment for then already, so looks like just using that one as the find out the plan appointment instead.
Now what to do with the couple of hours extra I have now gained for today......part of me thinks I should be productive and get stuff done I'd have to do anyway and free up other time elsewhere, but the other half of me thinks I should just do sod all, except what I want for me whilst I have the opportunity.
Hope all the others dealing with some kind of poop at the moment are all hunky dory as can be
Hope you’ve gone with sod all and watch crap tv or teary movie or call a pal for a catch up
Sod all is good
Leolady56 also doing sod all in Spain
Life is like a boxing match, defeat is declared not when you fall ..... But when you refuse to stand up again ....... So, I get knocked down but I get up again. x
Hope it was a teeny bit of doing jobs
Im listening to hubby snooze
And the sea crash
I’m battling pericarditis again
poop and double poop
But here I got my tablets for 3 Euros at the pharmacist no questions asked
Strange but .... well
Sleep well
