Soggy laptop now dry, head in much better place, quite shocked at my reaction just shows even though you appear to be strong the vulnerability is still there and it doesn’t take that much to teeter over the edge. I think it’s because the worst case scenario always presents itself in your head first, so will have to try and calm that down! That’s why this forum is soooooooooo helpful, speaking to others and getting a realistic view from ladies with more experience is invaluable.
So a very big thank you from rational me who now def thinks it’s an error or just a case of looking after me and not something sinister. Worries now firmly squashed, hugs to you all xx
You are not going to believe this but I have just received this morning an appointment for a mammogram on the SAME day, it’s all ok cause I’m laughing not sure if it’s hysterically or not, has this happened to anyone else?? xx
This is starting to sound like Jeremy Beadle or someone like him is hiding round the corner… Goodness, does the left hand never talk to the right hand or to the relevant foot? I’m sure it’s all administrative… the only plus I can think up - and that’s if I work very hard - is that it’s all done on one day.
Big hugs
Katy - is your mammo at the same hospital? It may be deliberate that it’s on the same day. I know my REACT trial appointments are dleiberately made to co-incide with onc/surgeon appointments to save me trips to the hospital. Your appointments will all be on the competer system, so they can check when you are there and time other appointments accordingly.
It’s going to make for a stressful, scary day, but at least you’ll get it all over at once!! Don’t try and second guess the results - whatever it is, the sh*t going through your head won’t make ANY difference to the results, so you may as well not put yourself through the agony!!
I’m a fine one to talk! I wish I could take my own advice. My 6 months appointment with onc is 2 weeks today and I’m already getting stressed about it: Keep finding odd lumps, bumps, pains, bruises and sore places that of course, in my panic, indicate the dreaded recurrence, but are probably nothing at all!
Yes they are at the same hospital BUT I’m to be there for 8.30 am (mammogram), bone man 2.00 then onc after 3, looks like it’ll be a long day! xx
Just wanted to say a very big thank you to you all, you all made such a difference to me as instead of running around like a headless chicken I was very calm as your comments made me look at the whole picture!! So instead of worrying needlessly about bc things I went into the real world!!
Have arthritis, a lot, just have to find out which kind now. (CM was right)
So once again the biggest thank you to you all, sooooooooooo grateful xx
