Today is my Cancer Op/Fibro please behave🫣

[DoubleMalibu]

Hello everyone

I hope the sun is shining wherever you are😎

Finally got my cancer operation today, after 2 cancellations, one due to a heart scare.

My fibromyalgia has been off the scale flare wise, with the stress of it all.

But today finally off to the hospital, wondering if there’s a flight I could get in the opposite direction😃

Been as calm as possible over the last few weeks, mainly for my youngest son, he was scared with my diagnosis.

But he has an amazing sense of humour bless him, he’s been keeping me going.

Although I think he’s equally upset, by being told, he will have to do some ironing and other chores, while I’m recovering!

Could be a long 6 weeks recovery🤣

Got my priorities right & had my blonde highlights done, some nice new nighties, and got a shed load of M&S midget gems and biscuits in my hospital bag👍🏻

Don’t think I’ll be allowed to take my coffee machine with me though😆

I’m sure once in the hospital setting, I’ll be emotional.

My sons haven’t decided which one will accompany me to the theatre door😊

But when the eldest faints at the sight of a needle and feels sick at the smell of a hospital, I’m thinking he’s not my safest bet🤣

I was hoping fibromyalgia would do one and disappear for a while, but looks and definitely feels like it’s coming the hospital with me🙄

My big concern has always been how Fibromyalgia , M.E & sciatica will react to the operation.

Guess only time will tell.

To anyone else on here facing a major Op today or a big appointment that you wish you didn’t have to face….good luck 🍀

What else can we do, but go with the flow & face things head on💪🏻

And Momo, i’ll remember your sound advice & not lift even a teabag afterwards😃

And Dinkie I’ll try to be a good girl!

Hope it’s a positive Thursday for everyone on here🙏🏻

Morning, good luck, I hope it all goes smoothly, and they get it all.

Of course you are nervous, big healing hugs to you both. 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[Dinkie]

morning, wishing you all the best. Glad to hear you will try and heed my advice and be a good girl😁 personally never managed to practice what I preach however that’s another story. You never know the offspring may be a dab hand at ironing and set up their own little money making sideline - you may find the place covered in other folks’ laundry when you get back😂

Got everything crossed for you.

What a wonderful attitude you have and I am sure that helps with your major operation and getting through cancer .

I was diagnosed with a rare breast cancer 6 weeks ago and next week start 24 weeks of chemotherapy, immunotherapy and other treatments , once a week .

Like you I try to keep bright and positive and am determined to fight this head on.

Sending love and hugs and wishing you well through your operation and afterwards 🤗

Good luck and don't worry... I'm 3 months in recovery from having four lymph nodes removed from my neck after the cancer had come back after 8weeks of intense treatment last year . I found the specialist would always give me worst case sannarios which terrified me but all was good. had a check up yesterday still clear the worst thing for me now is that camera up my nose every 8 weeks don't worry take things in your own time and you will be fine take care 🤞🏻

Morning Double Malibu, I hope all went well yesterday and you are now set up for your recovery?

As with any traumatic situation support of family and friends is so important, so you need to let them take care of you and not rush your recovery.

There are plenty of heartfelt healing thoughts winging their way to you from this group xx💐

take care and hope all goes well x

[Maud-ie]

Sending big love, positive thoughts and wishing you ALL the very best. You've got this!

[Wobblygirl]

Sending special hugs+support to you and everso gentle hugs... xxxReminds me of my cancer op where I certainly didn't do my exercises proficiently, so take heed + do what's required but no heroics!

I found that when I had to seriously rest aftr long bout of pneumonia (3months!) my fibro improved considerably... So when enforced rest is put upon you with gentle exercises but no teabag lifting, maybe your fibro will benefit...

I do so hope this is the case 4 you...

Take it easy+enjoy the minutiae of recovery...
