Hey JammyR, happy that you enjoyed the show with Libby. Been planning either Aladdin or lion king with my daughter... will probably do that over summer.
Please dont worry yourself re lymphnodes. Try to occupy yourself with Libby and school work . Its helped me a lot. Im in the 11+ mode and helping my daughter get into a good 2ndry. To be honest never thought id have to do maths work again, but started as my.daughter asks about it and i cant remember some of the equations ... hahah
Was that just 8 hrs uninterrupted not drug induced sleep I just experienced. Well blow me down it was. Phew I don't like to tempt providence but that makes me feel like today could be good.
Oh 11+ land. That was an element of my work I was happy to leave behind. The angst. The pain. The will they or wont they. The tears. The emptying of my tissue box. The beating of the brow. To tutor or not to tutor.
AND THE CHILDREN WERE FINE.
Guess you probably live in the south east where we still put children through this agony.
Whoops sorry my politics are showing.
Jammy I love The Lion etc . One of my all time favs which I came to when reading it to my daughters, plus the amazing BBC series all those years ago. And Lion King is amazing in that Craig Revel Horwood style. I have been banging on about Matilda for months. I think the penny has dropped with Mr Leo, as we may have tickets to see it in August through his old company who do amazing deals.
I have been supporting my big sis again. Seems like her hubby is struggling with the - nothing is going fast enough for me. Meetings about him - MDT - and he has not heard back yet. The results game we all love to hate and hate to love. For someone who is usually a gentle giant and sits and cries at Love Actually with me. This damned thing -Ivan the not so Terrible as it has been named - has really brought his aggressive side to the fore.Think she may be coming to visit on the pretext of seeing and looking after me.
Another day we can live without appointments so hope you all have good plans or plans that mean you can recharge your batteries physical and emotional .
Take care today

Hi! I hope it’s ok for me to hop into this conversation! I was diagnosed with stage 2 bc at the end of December and am awaiting my op for a lumpectomy on 23rd January. Last night I actually did go dancing and it felt fabulous to escape the madness that I’m going through for just a few hours. I wanted to be completely nuts and immersed in loud music and be surrounded by happy people, singing along to the tracks. It was a great tonic!
I suppose I did it because I don’t know when I’ll be able to do it again.
Sending you it hugs and best of luck for the next stage of your journey x
So pleased you had a good sleep. Sounds like you are recovering well from your "day out" on Friday. Didn't sleep too badly myself but still feel tired so a sunday siesta may be required later on. Must be hard for your sister and if anyone is amazing at supporting you are, but remember you have BC so need support too.
Bennie no 11+ up North but I dread the choosing secondary school thing. We live in catchment for one of the countrys leading acadamies but talk of boundaries channging and although its an outstanding school it is massive so will consider other options too. Couple of years before we get to that though. But 9am on a Sunday, we have to set off for swimming at 10 and Lib has what looks like full hour of homework to do as I want her to do nicer stuff this afternoon. Luckily she is very able so can do it easily but I do think its a lot when also need to learn spellings and read...I worry about the kids who are less able academically, lot of presdure so young.
So its swimming, supermarket and a play with new birthday toys kind of day. Then we have Brownie church parade at Christingle service this evening which will be lovely.
Right time to keep an eye on the homework....sounds coming from dining room dont sound like there is much being done!
Despite vaguely waking at usual get up time of 6.30 i actually managed to lie in til after 8.30. Weird dreams through, one involved my head being infested by giant nits and then one involving ys trying to hide from the authorities for a reason i have no idea of.
Ah the joys of homework mountains, i do think primary age kids do get a little bit too much homework somedays.
Quietish day planned here too before the rollercoaster starts again. Boys have tennis in an hr and I'm going to have to make a start on ys cake if hes going to have one. I have come up with a cunning plan to make life easier as next couple of weeks are a little unknown. I'm going to do the decoration bit to go on top as i can do that in advance then dh can help bake and base ice the cake nearer the time under my direction. I've not told him that bit yet, so could be interesting.
Hoping everyone gets a thought free day, we all deserve at least one a week!
Your BCN is right, a report that informs treatment is better than results which tend to have a +ve or -ve focussed outcome. I’ll keep busy in work this week but planning a nice day out somewhere Saturday whatever the outcome x
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger May you never take one single breath for granted God forbid love ever leave you empty handed I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
This is the song I sang to my beautiful daughters when they were young
I still gallop when I can and I suggest when you can you do a little dance to celebrate all the little challenges you will achieve.
Keep popping in and tell us how you are. Everyone on this thread and on the site are so non judgemental, caring and kind
Take care

Yes join the comversation anytime (didnt see you post earlier as think I was posting at same time). Enjoy doing normal things whenever you can. I worked up to few days before lumpectomy and carried on socialising, etc. In fact even now after 2 lots of surgery still try and fill the days when habe no appointments and feel ok with any nice things I can....to pinch a quote a life with cancet is still a life. Hope you are coping ok with your dianilosiscand not too worried about your operation....a number of us on here have had lumpectomy recently so fire away if you need to ask anything.
