After my melt down the other day after seeing my surgeon, I'm pleased to say I'm back to my positive self. Well, getting there.
He didn't even tell me anything bad but I think I was so strong for so long that I was due a melt down. A good cry can be quite relieving. I've told myself that my illness is my new normal and that if it returns then it's a flare up. It will be dealt with. I plan to keep myself healthy and strong and keep my mind focussed and positive. Easier said than done sometimes.
I'm just soooo thankful for all you lovely ladies on here . When I read positive stories, it just does me the world of good.
Just wanted to check in and say thank you 💐
Suzanne - here's me at my scan yesterday. Got to keep smiling 🙂

Hi Suzanne Great photo, though as Lyndy says it's never going to make it onto the catwalk!. Glad to hear you're positivity is returning. Keep smiling! Kathy xxx
Brilliant photo hun! You're looking great! Fab to hear you're feeling more positive...it's always ok to have a good cry, but you're coping with everything so incredibly well. Much love xx
Whoohoo! That's the spirit be positive and kick its arse.. we have no room for the Alien... well that's what I call it! Lovely pic of you.. next Summers fashion statement eh!!! 😂😂😂 Love Michelle x
He he. I think those gowns could become a fashion statement. We probably all wear them enough. Lol. They're quite comfy. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😂😂xxx
Looking good!, stay positive and keep that lovely smile, as for the gown being on wrong way, I always put mine on that way, I hate it when open at the back!! My turn on Wednesday.xxx
When I was admitted with neutropenia, I hadn't got a nightie or pjs with me, so I was offered a delightful tent...sorry, nightie to wear. It was bright pink, the size of a beach shelter and with the obligatory 'reveal all' split at the back. It was a joy to behold!
It is hard. Very hard. I know I have a high chance of recurrence. I've not even finished treatment yet and I'm worried about it. But it will be a flare up. I think we just have to view our illness as a chronic illness. Maybe it won't go away but we can live with it and keep being treated. Every day there's new research and treatments. We are here and mustn't let our illness take over. Much easier said than done I know. It's scary but I'm remain g as positive as possible.
Great to hear you being so positive, but don't feel you have to be that way all the time. We all need to crash sometime. And how can you look so good in that gown? They look like a sack of misshapen potatoes on me x
Yes it's very normal to crash. Sometimes I'm strong but times like last week I felt like I'd been whacked with a sledge hammer. I just couldn't pull myself together.
I can't wait to get back to work next year. Will feel a bit more normal. I feel a bit like I'm under house arrest at the moment . The trip to hospital was a nice day out last Sunday. 😂😂😂
Those gowns are horrid but I sort of pulled it tight so it didnt look too much like I was dressed like a sack of spuds. lol
Hi and thank you. Yes I'm slowly getting back to my positive self. Am out with friends for dinner later so that will be nice. Especially with a glass of vino. 🍷
