It's been a while since I visited so I wanted to say hello once again! Have just had the 2nd diagnosis in 3 years just as I thought things couldn't get any more complicated. Have fitted in a career change, 4 house moves and a divorce, and thought I was perhaps at that Rick bottom
Hello , So sorry to hear that you have just had a second diagnosis. I hope that your team are explaining everything to you as you go along. have you had all the tests or still waiting for some of them? Either way it is an even bigger shock I think second time around.- been there and bought the tshirt twice( Read my profile if you wish.)Give yourself time to start to come to terms with it all and above all be kind to yourself.Difficult I know in these times but well worth giving it a try. Sending big hugs xx
Oww sorry you are back here. I'm sure I remember you - you live Midlands way and was separated from husband - who was been a complete **** at the time, wanting you to move out or he had moved out (my mind is rubbish as such).
I hope your career change as been good, with all that's going on I think many are trying various careers..... 4 house moves!!!!! that's horrendous (I think this is where you started you had just moved or needed to move).
Where are you now with treatment? Have you a treatment plan in place yet or are you doing the dreaded wait? Have you got support?
Owww so many questions .... its only because we care about you.
Sending you love and hugs
G xx
Hello, that sounds awful I have been locked down with my soon to ex-husnad (awaiting decree absolut, police only came twice) so have a lot of sympathy for how 'other stuff' makes things hellish. Hang in there, one day (or night) at a time and when there's a plan things may ease a little, Get treats for yourself every day. Sending virtual hugs. <3
Hi all, it's only taken me the better part of a week to find out how to reply... WhatHappened, yes it's me again. I'm thinking of writing a book but I reckon it'd be mistaken for fiction. How are you lovely? Your kind words are as always so appreciated. Surgery planned to remove a 4.3 cm lump, and then 3 weeks of RT but yes, doing the dreaded wait like so many others! Tlania, I am so sorry to see you're going through such emotional trauma. I wound up in a hostel with the most incredibly brave and supportive people after a seemingly endless 8 months of police intervention and A and E visits. 4 house moves across 2 borders and an endless change of jobs sent me into bankruptcy and a spiral of despair, but I'm determined to find my feet again! My thoughts are with you. Kwissy, thank you for the advice! The site seems so much more complicated than a couple of years ago, or perhaps it's simply brain fade. moomy, thank you for the hugs! They mean so much. So many truly lovely folk on here, I wish I'd continued to log on and be inspired by you all. Love and light to everyone, J x (rather too many exclamation marks - 1 for every bar of chocolate it's taken to write this reply)
