to ask you to send good wishes to goodnessknows for her operation tomorrow

[livelablove]

goodnessknows has a scary operation tomorrow, to remove a tumour on her spine. She is feeling a bit panicky, so I thought she might like your supportive messages to encourage her. Here is a link to her thread goodnessknows

Hope you get the results soon. The not knowing must be tough.

Xxx

Guess what I just did!
I walked the length of the corridor and walked to the loo! Washed and dressed myself, too! Pretty much unaided. I'm v proud n pleased.

Yay! Well done, Goodness, that's great! Onwards and upwards :) xx

Wonderful Goodness!

That's great! So soon.

Take it easy, don't go mad. Xxx

Tried again later n collapsed into commode wheelchair (nearest thing they could grab) and was wheeled back to bed just in time as was about to faint.
Was thanking stars didn't collapse on floor, catheter and all. This was WITH zimmerframe.

So unexpected after my 'long walk' this afternoon.

Too much too soon!
Rest up chuck x

You are doing fine, i was surprised you walked so far at first. I wonder if the second time your painkillers were wearing off? But the fact you can walk is great as this shows you can do it and just need to build strength and for wounds to heal.

On other thread i read nurses were not being that nice. I am to read that. Don't let it get to you. Sending you and

Nope they're scary an reluctant cows tonight. Have awful one from last night - but last night was a good one with her. Tonight she has gd knows what kind of nurse with her. Seriously. Scary shit.
Gotta laugh.. and pray they'll not b here again tomorrow.

I remember nurses were like this when I was in hospital having baby. The midwives were lovely to me. I know nurses are busy, but they shouldn't make you feel like you are an inconvenience to them, especially on a high dependency ward. Nevermind you can use them in your book when you write your memoirs. Have some more

just thought we should have a symbol for [prescriptiondrugs]

Live, made me laugh.
Must are ok but forget thjngs (like to turn the leg pumps ON), bug the stroppy ones... My gd!

Still on hospital. Walked today - up n down corridor. Get meeeee!

I'm expecting results any day this week - from tomorrow. Absolutely terrified. Highly anxious. Might help my low blood pressure though. Lol
Either low grade sarcoma (cancer) unlikely of further treatment or care but would be monitored for regrowth.
Or
Bastard aggressive type of benign tumour calked fibromastitis that re grows commonly as doesn't like to be disturbed and only resounds to high doses of chemo, radiotherapy and cancer-fighting drugs.
Please stand with me and hold my hands. If it's not good news, I dint think I'll be able to handle it. It'll throw everything into the air. Future. My DCs' lives. DH wig recently lost both of his DPs within 3 years. Everything.

Glad to hear the op went well. Boo hiss for scary nurses. I know you want to try and get back to normal as quickly as possible but if you push yourself too hard, your recovery could take even longer! So rest and take it slowly!

And fingers tightly crossed that you get nothing but good news tomorrow xx

Thinking of you GoodnessKnows - hope the results are as good as they can be.

Just woken up mid-nightmare of being given bad news by smiley 'minimising don't scare patient' surgeon.

It's only a bad dream, sometimes dreams mean the opposite of real life. Hoping its positive news for you

That's so true and I'm usually wrong about things (where I've parked my car, the answer to most quiz questions, what'll happen in the future) so I hope you're right.

I am home

Hooray

Don't be tempted to do too much now that you're out of hospital.

Xxx

After one helluvastressfuk 'homecoming', I slept until 6.30am. Thank gd the drugs work. Just need to make sure the wrongly written letter to doc is adjusted and that the right quantities are prescribed now!

Just got The Call
Low Grade Sarcoma

Telling you (all) first.

Crying now with relief.

This is good
Never ever did I think that I'd be grateful to be told I have cancer.

Because I don't.
It's low grade
Margins are clear (they got the whole thing out)

I need to be monitored. Not the end but could've been worse.

(Still crying)

But it's not the bastard benign type that needs chemo, radiotherapy, cancer drugs by the truck load as it's so aggressive and pretty much always comes back.

It also means I'll have support. Macmillan for a start.
I'm with the centre of excellence for these rarer cancers. My doctor was thrilled to have his first 'case'.
Lol

I'm here to please ;)

Sending good vibes and virtual

That is bloody fantastic news! I'm so pleased for you, Goodness and of course !
