Morning Alison

have a great day out and enjoy your meal later,  don’t worry about the op,  think we all agree that that was the easiest part of the process.  Don’t let the staff chuck you out if you’re not ready x 

6B are here to help you and hold your hand 

Sending you love

I agree with Sheena we’re with you tomorrow. We are all thinking of you and sending you love Dawn xxxx Dee?

Good luck with your “walk” for life Dee.Alison good luck tomorrow as Sheena says stay in hospital til you feel well enough to manage.get waited on for a couple of days. .Mael please can I play the tambourine ,been practising on keyboards and the neighbours called the police…

Mael

I’m just killing myself laughing at your,I no speeka the eeengliish veri good,can I try that on Tuesday whilst pulling the gel shoe pads out of my sports bra? Haha x

Jill, I’ve got a padded triangle for you,  last thing we need is for the police to come along and frisk us down, what a surprise they would get! X

Padded triangle is that in case I hit someone over the head with it?If any one pushes their luck with me at the moment…

Oh oh who has peed you off today? X

Doesn’t take much ,think living in state of extreme anxiety for 6 weeks has taken its toll mentally ,either want to cry at slightest thing or head butt people.I am also obsessed with looking at my armpit trying to work out if seroma has come back.I was going to go back and get it drained again and then it disappeared ,where did it go?Can it just vanish?Is my body actually dealing with it itself ,that would make a nice change…

Hi June

here’s my take on this issue you raise

I think that some couples end up staying together because it’s easier to do that than part, financial reasons at the core I suspect

It’s very difficult being left alone financially on salary s paid to average women workers

frankly I am glad that I don’t have to put up with what some, not all, of my friends do from their partners

was married for a long time and somehow I always ended up having to go his way

now I do what I want!  No one to disapprove!  of course it’s difficult financially but Ivemanaged x

Dawn, I was thinking to something you wrote below, re: chemotherapy “we agreed with my surgeon to not go down that route”. It’s just a curiosity – did it go down well? I am node-positive and I’ve stated from day 1 that I was not going to have chemo, even as a last resort – but it seems a… hmm, unpopular decision. I am willing to stick to my guns but I feel very lonely. Even my friends (except two, bless 'em) see this choice as a death wish (it’s not, it’s mere optmisation of risk vs benefit given my lifestyle and mindset).

 

having a nice Sunday? hugs, x

PS June, re: couples that stick together whilst hating the guts out of each other: some people can’t just imagine themselves in a different situation, they see the problem and the habit but they just can’t break free. Or they don’t have the money to do so, like Sheena said. x

Hi girls I survived the race for life :slight_smile: Intersting question June. My take on that is yes it is easier for a single woman in a city like London and my friends are very much 50/50 of those that are single. I couldn’t live anywhere else. Their is so much opportunity to meet people here if you want it. I am happy being single for the time being. But girls I met a fab guy from San Francisco at The Ivy on Monday. He was on holiday and brightened up my day no end!!! I seem to attract American guys… don’t know why!!! ? The last thing i want is to be in an unhappy marriage like my twin. Think thats why i’ve stayed single xxxxx

Hey Dee!

Well done to you x super proud!

Hopefully bit of a lie in bed for you x

sheena xxx

So agree June. I’m determined not to let life slip me by.
I’m sure we’re all sending Dawn out thoughts today. Dawn - cant stop thinking about you and hoping all goes well for your mx. Massive hugs Dee xxxx?

Absolutely Dee, hopefully she will be up and about and NOT  coming home today but taking her time x

off to gp this afternoon for one last dig for any more info prior to onc app tomorrow,

How’s the fatigue today Dee?
