Which bench can we play âfireworkâ by katy perry for? Makes me feel better for a bitâŠ
norberte - maybe your right, though Im not sure 2 weeks with 2 kids to walt disney in florida will allow for much rest!!! Im sure I be ok when we get thereâŠperhaps itâs abit of ityâs been hanging on a string for so long that I donât really believe it will happen???
Yes please ask Choccie to keep the guilty bench warm Im sure I will need it when I come back and disrupt the kids again with more treatment⊠they have found chemo tuff!!!
Tina⊠soon be firework season⊠X JXXX
Not too sure if this is music for the âfeeling guiltyâ bench, or theâf*****g furiousâ bench - but Alanis Morissette does a good line in angst!
Or perhaps the âthanks a f***ing bunchâ bench?!
Thank you DaisyGirl for making me laugh out loud, good bench!!
OH was off last week and so just caught up with this today and couldnât stop laughing, best thread we have had for ages! Good to lighten the mood! In fact I think it would make a good sitcom!

In which case we should have a REALLY BIG bench paint it bright colours and call it âthe really sillyâ bench or perhaps âthe especially cheerful todayâ bench??? mind you we had better keep it away from the furious/sad/guilty benches dont you think???
I agree DG gotta have lighter moments!!!
JXX
this bench idea is sounding so much better than Big Brother ⊠can you imagine what great tv it would make ⊠just waiting to go in and the chat on the catwalk ⊠us all fat and bald ⊠then going in and nobody having any appetite and days when some of us couldnât do the challenges cos we felt like s**t⊠oh the visuals are fantastic⊠all of us on our relative benches each day âŠthough doubt nobody would watch it!
Angielav, I think this is a great idea! Can you imagine the scene when we all go to bed and take off our wigs, pressure sleeves and prostheses? Or someone crawling to the toilet after their second TAX?
And would certainly give the general public a more realist view of breast cancer treatment and how we are all âbeatingâ it. The article in this months Good Housekeeping has really made my blood boil, I think I need to go and sit on the âabsolutely f***ing furious benchâ until I calm down!

Oh dear seems like I need to spend a while on the guilty bench for even considering joining the âmy OH is an a***â bench, because of course it is all my fault that we are not going on the holiday that I wanted - - I âmisunderstoodâ him, and he thought I didnât really want to goâŠNo stuff that, will be joining the appropriate bench after all. And then will be jumping to the âabsolutely f**king furiousâ bench until I calm down.
But thenâŠactually the guilty bench is oddly where I feel I belong just now having finally finished chemo.
DaisyGirl,my curiosity is getting the better of me, when you feel calmer and less ****ing furious can you please let me know what is in the article???
Maybe it was this article katytc. Nothing new there then!!

Well, well Bobbin2 now we all know what our problem is??? Everyone leave your current benches and take up residence on the âItâs my faultâ or âGuiltyâ benchesâŠSo have you got that girls âŠcure for breast cancerâŠlose weight, stop drinking and eat cauliflower!!! Now I understand the point on diet and health and weight etcâŠbut really how patronising for a good many of usâŠI for one rarely drink eat loads of veggies and certainly wasnât overweight when BC struck for the 1st time!! ( am now, 2 kids 14 years and one round of BC later)Not to mention the BRCA 1/2 gene carriers??? What next!!!.. Iâm off on me hols feeling better knowing that!!! Choccie keep that bench warm,!!!

I have just received my copy of the latest GH mag, it has a nine page spread on the âGood News (that) Weâre beating cancer togetherâ and âhow the experience can be surprisingly positiveâ. All under the pink ribbon banner.
I actually had to stop reading it, it p****d me off so much!
Donât buy the mag unless you would normally, it is not worth the money just to read the spread. Nothing new but gives the impression that once treatment is over you are OK and specifically advises to get plenty of plant (phyto) oestrogens, even though the evidence as to whether this is beneficial or not is still inconclusive.
I am still spitting feathers!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Ha ha if I was as thin as I was when I was âhigh schoolâ age people would think I was anorexic (around 8stone then and I am 5ft 8"), so it is definately therefore my fault that I have breast cancer as I was 10.5 stones before diagnosis ⊠somehow think I wonât bother buying GH this month!
Thank you Bobbin2, J, think we should have another bench âfeeling really confused and donât know where to sit benchâ as âguiltyâ and âitâs my faultâ are equally relevant here. So hereâs to the fat, alcoholic, non cauliflower eaters, perhaps we should tell GH about the yellow wellies too! X
Iâm putting water in my wine nowadays so can i sit on the smug b**tard bench or is it just way, way too late?
