Surgery & living alone

Alison on the vino front I guess it will be when you are not taking too many strong painkillers , although if you are already lying down and not going to drive or operate heavy machinery…
Sheena, yes I am also feeling very bolshie must be part of the anxiety hangover I think.Your job sounds very similar to mine,don’t think I could cope with work amongst all of this, if you can afford it get yourself signed off for the summer, give your brain some recovery time.Somebody pointed me in the direction of an article about the psychological impact of cancer when I was first diagnosed ,I must look it up she said it was a must read.

Dr Peter Harvey “after treatment finishes”,even though some of us are still going through treatment I think it describes really well the impact of having BC.

Mael cara, keep reading the book,  text me if you want any super extra support,  when you get home turn up the music and open the bottle and let the anxiety out a bit xx

Alison,  seriously, mgame of thrones, yay! Blood, guts, sex and violence,  will do you good!! certainly take your mind off things. I was a real addict thanks to my son as well,.

vino? go on girl, you’re worth it xx

Jill, yep I did read that and found it very helpful indeed especially about this being private and not up for every tom **bleep** and Harry to gossip over

I’m interested in what you do, pm me if you want to share

Jamie Oliver vegan burgers for dinner tonight with sweet potato wedges, all homemade darlings and the obligatory bottle of vino

love to you all

Fingers Crossed My relationship with Billy will be over by Monday…Yippee
Just difficult to lie down and sleep xxx

June, yes it must be difficult, I am off due to BC my colleagues have kept in touch and they are popping in lunch times…Don’t know how long they will keep it up, but they take it in turns and I work with a lot of people…
Billy had been with me since Monday!!!
We don’t even talk to each other!! Xxxx

Alison ,have you and Billy thought about couples counselling ?

Ladies, I’ve got a new tactic for dealings with folk I’m not fond of anymore,  call them by another name!!! Elizabeth becomes Emma,  Tom becomes Tim

gotta have some fun! 

mael, has the book been helpful? XX

Mael, Its always good to be kind to our bodies…
I have a confession, when I found out I had BC I started smoking!!!
I would have the odd cigerette before I found out etc, But I started smoking every minute of the day!!
It was awfull, I couldn’t stop and belive me I tried…
Good News Since Op I haven’t smoked 6 days
I am so HAPPY :relaxed:
Things just happen…
Billy and I have decided not to go to councillor as the guy I had a couple of dates with is poping in for cuppa
after Billy as gone Monday!!!
Whilst I was in hospital waiting for my op, my friend who is a top NHS nurse, found out about me waiting round found me, and kept me company…
We talked about anything to keep me mind free…
I did say to her Deb I will never have Sex again!!
Her reply has stayed with me
Dawn " you haven’t had sex for months if not longer
So having a mastectomy is going to make no difference to your life apart from making you live longer!! lol
Good Morning everyone xxxxxx

Alison, was taken so choose dawn!! lol
Well ladies, I have been on the phone speaking to a lady I met in hospital I told her all about
You bunch of tits!!
And said she should join…She is lovely single and like all of us got BC!!!
How about we form a trendy choir!! :relaxed::relaxed::relaxed::relaxed:

I second that Jill its a really good article. Feeling bolshie and ready to challenge mundane ramblings and such like at work. I’m biting my lip already!!! Actually feeling ok about it thanks to you lot! Hugs Dee xxxx

Dawn i like you thought right thats it no more sex for me after op. I couldnt have been mote wrong. Mr San Francisco has put a big smile on my face?. Perhaps we should compare notes between US guys and UK ones? Hell lets all just go and live in the States!!! Well opening night of world tour we can even go on the Oprah show!! Xxxx
