Thanks
@outlander @Bow 💜Thank you so much
@Snowie, I know you are really strugging yourself right now. Yes its been a long wait to see my psych this time. I dont recall the last time its been so long since I saw her. Normally I would see her every 3-5 weeks, depending on how I am at the time. I know you understand that, with your psych leaving and your inability to get in to the new one for such a long time. Perhaps you may still get in sooner, with a cancellation .. I hope so.
Yes @Former-Member ... I very much understand that desire to escape to a cave during the tough times. And I am very sorry knowing that you still have a difficult anniversary coming up on 14th Feb. Sometimes avoidance is the only way to get through EOR ... I honestly believe that. And yes I agree with you that its important to reduce any additional stressors as much as possible. Which is why I am happy that my radiation treatment is soon to be completed. I will then be able to concentrate on the anniversary more capably I hope. Even though I still have a stack of medical and specialist appointments right through February for both myself and hubby. But we'll get there. Thank you for the reminder EOR about keeping up the fluids. I do tend to not drink enough water at times. How has your day been?
Gorgeous Pea ... you are such a lovely friend
@greenpea and I appreciate you very much. Yes you have always been around for me, and I want you to know that I am only a tag away for you also. Any time sweet Pea.
@Peri ... sounds like a busy day for you today and the weekend, with your grand daughter staying with you. Such a blessing, arent they .. our grandchildren? But gosh .. they can be so exhausting! Yeah silly me ... I let my imagination run away with me sometimes I think. Of course I would not feel cells dying, would I? And you are quite correct .. radiation does cause inflamation of tissue. And that is no doubt what it is. It is painful. And so too are the surgery scars, which I was told has a reaction to the radiation. Its 11 weeks now since my surgery. And the pain from that had essentially gone. Until the second week of radiation, when it all came back again. Its quite depressing. Gosh ... its 11 years for you since your surgery. And here am I complaining after only 11 weeks. I also have a lot of scar tissue, I tend to scar easily. I'm really sorry you still get pain. I appreciate knowing that though, because at least my expectations now are more realistic. Yes exactly .. thats the important thing isnt it ... you are still very much alive! I'm happy that my experiences now, enable you to look back at your battles at the time .. and that it makes you proud that you managed it as well as you did. Especially when you were working full time as well back then. You are very right to feel proud. Yes sadly ... I am very much aware that this is a lifetime thing ... with regular scans and xrays etc and always that concern that the cancer will return. I presume that your mammogram was all clear?
