So in 5 days time I have the operation to remove the tumour - randomly known as Ian.
Evening ladies
Well whilst on the crying topic I’m afraid to admit that that’s just what I’m doing now.
Oh boy I look through the posts and I’m off. It’s not because they are sad, it’s just so bloody wonderful that I found myself in this group with you all.
Frog pictures, frog song, stories of mothers who are difficult, lovely ones about daughters, kind caring words, the list goes on and on.
Thank you ladies for sharing your lives with me it means more than words can say xxxxxxx

Goodnight and God bless
It’s obviously a good teary night around this thread

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
Hi ladies,
I have discovered this page tonight and hope it will help me through the next few months. I will be honest I'm still in flight mode rather than fight mode so hope with your help I can kick ass with this whole chemo schedule. Will know more on Monday what treatment and cycles required x
Hi Jbee 66
I think they will take it as a great compliment that I think the ladies here are a little bit barmy in a good way of course.
Welcome. I am sure they will be posting again possibly in the morning.

Hello Jbee
Welcome to the group.
There are ladies on here at different stages, some just having had surgery, some waiting for results, others already started their chemo. I’m sure we will all be here to support you through this.
We are all kick a**e ladies, watch out for LL because she will have you crying......but with laughter.
We are now known as froggies thanks to the lovely Leolady and the frog song is our ‘we all stand together’ song.
Xxxxxx
Jbee66,
I definately don’t mind admitting to be quite a big bit barmy!!
I read a few threads but only usually post on the Chemo, the Awake one and this one. Those 3 feel like I’m chatting to real friends not just ladies that live in my phone and i-pad!!
xXx
Welcome Jbee66
Sue G is correct we have our Barmy moments and our barking mad moments . We also have our rant times and our WTF times too. We have tearful times and licking wounds times
Everyone on the thread - indeed on the BC site - is on a different but same journey. As yet I’m not sure if I’ve got the RT and CT journey or just one of them.
But advice comes by the bucket load. Daft stories but the page load. And hugs by the cuddle load.
So welcome once again.
Post and we will reply
Morning all the usual suspects I’m flushed with success again. At least I slept in between the flushes though.
So I should fall out of this pit and begin the day or nod off. Eeeny meeeny miny zzzzzzzzz
Take care
Leolady xxxx

Me again
Just seeking support and guidance
Regarding housework and when I should start again.
Are there: NHS guidelines, NICE guidelines, BC guidelines, TheOperation thread guidelines, Macmillan guidelines, Trump guidelines or do I Twitter or the classic WTF does it matter guidelines?????
Just that instead of writing on here I could use the layers of dust to write a sequel to War and Peace.
Sunny days do show you up as a domestic slut!!
Take care and ponder at will

Haha a question i am pondering too, been nice to let dh take up some of the multitude of tasks i do,, one of which is housework, but hes still not as quick off mark as me, but there comes a time when one has to return somewhat more to normal, well as normal as i can be anyway.
Must be the sun shining there is something in the air as i have declared today a clear out all the crap and tidy up day, have enough crap in my life as it is currently, as we all do, without hoarding more of it in drawers and the like.
Hello to all the new faces too.
I do read other posts but like bigguy, tend to only post in here with this fabulous bunch of like minded, equally sane, and medically similar ladies (gents not excluded) or on occasion the awake group.
I myself sometimes find it difficult to comment on other posts as my journey is somewhat different to most in terms of type of BC, but if it's something i have experienced then i will try to offer advice, and my shoulder is always open
