Message for quisie

Hi quisie,

Just wanted to say thank you for your support (I think I took over the first lines thread). It’s a pity that I can’t PM for whatever reason but hey ho!

I feel like I have been hit hard by months of pent up emotions. The final straw was that new report from the WCRF. I took some of it a bit too personally and it had a direct hit on my self destruct button. This crying lark is a long time coming and I have posted before that I cannot cry- but I am making uo for it now. I also heard this week that its ‘all kicking off’ at work and I have a big problem to sort out when I go back to work in January. I do not want to go back and this has just added to my anxiety. Confidence and self esteem is at an all time low. My friends cannot handle the way I am this week as I have allegedly ‘coped so well’ and people do not know how to respond to me at the moment.

Once again, thank you for your support and banter. It does cheer me up. I hope that you are feeling ok this week.

Hi quisie,

I am ok this week! Saw the Onc yesterday and talked a few things through. Everything is ok for now!
Hope you had a good weekend.

Hi there Kat
didn’t see this before! So glad you are feeling better touh - ugs especially for you. I’m glad our banter on friday helped - I had every intention of following it through - but I delivered some pans to my daughter (she has just moved) and the effort just wiped me out for the weekend, just recovered enough now to go for my “half way through chemo” scans.
I a really so pleased to hear your news.
hugs

Hi Ruth,

You must take things easy (well, as much as you can).
Hope your scan went well.

i am trying to! scans were brilliant - fred has shrunk from 1.8 cm to 6 mm :smiley: and fred is not where i thought he was - that is a custer of cysts - fred is tucked well back. Had it not been for the IBC and the cysts we may not have spotted fred until the standard mammogram - and that would be a long while yet as i had just missed being eligible for the last call from my GP
but off to sleep now, oh, so tired

Thats really good, reassuring news.
You threw me a bit re: Fred but I caught on…eventually!
Sleep well and hope to speak to you tomorrow

Hi Ruth,

Hope you have had a good weekend.
I had a better week. I went to a job interview on Friday and got it! Only problem is that I do not return to my present job until January and then need to work my notice.
I ran just under 6 miles today on my own as no-one else turned up. It was pouring with rain and I did think about coming straight home. Anyway, I decided to run and the rain just made me go faster! Got home soaking wet and absolutely tired but it will be worth it. I need to get the training in as I am doing the London Marathon next year.

Hope to ‘speak’ soon - can’t believe that I have no PM facility!

Hi there Katerina

What wonderful news - way to go you. I’m sure you’ll have no problems raising the money - if you get stuck i’ll come along and sit on anyone who tries to get away! Fingers crossed for the ballot though, it would be better to be there through that than anything, apart from being reknown as a marathon runner!!! Next spring holds much promise. hugs

my weekend with my best boys was wonderful. Granny was on top form, even cooked their dinner - toad in the hole! Much better than washing and ironing - how was your son? I remember the last week at uni, the younger students picking the cleaner items out of their laundry piles!!! What’s he reading at uni?

I don’t think you’ve any worries over your line manager and references. Your old line manager knows you, i think the reference is just a formality really. Just look forward to your new job.

hugs

Hi Katerina

Thanks for that … do enjoy Take That, I’ll not ask why you’re taking them three times in a week! I hope their performances exceed every hope you had. Have a great time. Are you going with hubby, kids or friends - or all three?

Chemo weekends are great, my daughters take it in turns to come look after me - then i spend the next week looking for things in new places!

Have a great night

Ruth
