Well. Welcome to this thread.
You may be surprised why it is here or happy it is here. Then again: ‘You have got to be joking! Do you know what is wrong with me?’ may be your response.
This all began on the Extreme Fatigue thread. On there several people wanted and needed inspiration/incentive to get out and walk. Many people see the benefits of it in their life and to help on this; mad journey, train ride, rollercoaster ride and other positively rude words journey called Breast Cancer.
It is not a thread created to make anyone feel less than they do at present. It is not a thread that will set people against one another. Being competitive with yourself or a simple challenge to yourself is the point, but not a race against others is a key premis.
The idea is that you can do any of these or none:
Well here goes.
Either it will grow and blossom, with lots of lovely people benefiting. Or I will have egg all over my face – not for the first time in my chequered life and career.
Leolady – may be adding in the odd gallop to my walks.
PS if you don't like us don't be cruel.
Hi everyone what a few days it has been...
Hope you are all OK, Leolady lovely to see your post, I hope things are OK with you. And thank you again for starting this one!
Get this, last Tuesday a close colleague went off sick, she had some symptoms and generally felt unwell. Fast forward to this Tuesday, admitted to hospital and diagnosed with Bile Duct Cancer which has made her liver go into failure. She discharged herself last night, waiting to hear what they can offer which will probs be palliative care. WTF?
She is a lovely lady, just turned 59 and optimistic about making positive changes to her life in her 60th year. I’m her supervisor and we have become quite close over the last few months, she has shared a lot with me and I have huge respect for her.
Soz to share this, still trying to comprehend and process it all. Went to see her in hospital yesterday with my manager then we went back to the office and had to tell everyone. I am blessed to have such a good team, we are all comfortable to share tears and hugs when necessary.
Its reinforced my belief in making each day the best experience it can be, whatever you are doing. Making sure there is something enjoyable regularly enough to keep a good balance and enhance wellbeing.
Fucking canccer.
Anyways I’ve had a quiet day thinking about her and had a good walk which was a tonic.
