Hello just been diagnosed with breast cancer as am falling apart
I just keep thinking that’s another one done , yes I did say just get it done it’s piece of mind for you and for me ..I never actually knew that about hormone type cancer wouldn’t be genetic , but good she’s getting it sorted xx
I'll er, make you grimace/smile. Last time round, not long after surgery, I developed thrush. Both ends.
Told the nurses, someone, I thought a doc, came around. Opened mouth, as requested. Then said "do you want to check the other end?".
Poor cow lost every bit of colour in her..
She was a dentist
Love & hugs to all xxx
Morning oh I can just imagine her face I would have laughed so much… I’ve got a weird sense of humour, it’s even worse since the stroke … well I didn’t sleep well again lastnight I’ve still got this awlful huge black cloud over my head thinking about the cancer being everywhere and I go Friday and they say sorry it’s too far gone there’s nothing we can do for you … my mind is all over the place , I might go to my work to see my manger and get the ball rolling for my pension , I’ve decided I’m going to take it now rather than wait … just incase what I’m thinking is true … if you don’t mind me asking how far on this journey are you, I’ve read threads and I love your positivity it’s inspirational… xx
Been on not happy pills for years due to, er, issues? Spinal condition 3 ops, hubby suddenly died. In laws died.
Then 2015/6 the granddaddy of them all. SCC on my tongue. Thought it was a spot or I'd bitten it on one of my regular falls... Docs antibiotics. 2 weeks. Docs different antibiotics. Then referred to max fax.
Then the sentence out of no where. "You're on the target cancer pathway". That was end of November. So within a month that includes Christmas, multiple tests of umpteen different types and up to McMillan UCLH + UCLH for surgery on the 7th January
Christmas was fun that year. We all have dips and we will all help each other through them
Love and hugs to all xxx
