Non medical but worrying day off that I can't cover wwyd ?

[AngelaChill]

My CM has found a lump in her breast which obviously she's worried sick about and has booked herself an appointment at a private hospital for Tuesday, she's told me this, not asked if it's ok iyswim. Now I know i'd be worried to death about finding a lump but I really cannot take this time off and DH would be unpaid which we can't afford. I don't want to sound like a heartless cow but she had Friday off at short notice for an uncles funeral and now this, would it be completely awful to ask her to rebook for Wednesday ?

Well if she's not a troll then I'm even more that anyone could be so heartless!

This was another really annoying post!

Well the outcomes is that of course the lump is a cyst which needs removing on the NHS at Christmas.
I actually blame the CM's mother for the hysteria and panic but there you go.

This is all going a bit Jerry Springer now. "She called me a slag...I'm norra f*ckin slag" "I nevva said you was a slag..."

Please! There are ladies present

I'm sorry but IMO Happymumof2 was just trying to catch her out thinking she was a troll! I don't personally think what she said was anywhere near as bad as some of the cold, heartless posts by the AngelaChill.

When I first joined MN, there was a thread started by someone called Vaunda, about her son, which developed rather like this one: people trying to catch her out, and posting things which would be incredibly hurtful to a real poster. I don't know how it panned out in the end, but then, as now, I wondered how it kept going so long. If I were a genuine poster and I had received some of the comments that AC had, I would not still be here. That is odd. And so is the constant goading and testing. What is the point?

I'd forgotten about the golf comment. Yeah, I'm back to thinking she must be a troll. Would anyone really think the things she's saying if it was true. So so worrying if it is true. And you're suppose to be her friend!

I have a pretty thick skin and am not one to be called names and meekly put up with it. I admited a long, long time ago that asking for the appointment to be moved was not the best idea I had had this year and also that relying on one source of childcare clearly wasn't working - and btw neither will I be next month much to my relief.

400 odd posts it utterly ridiculas so I am not continuing with this but neither do I except to be chased around the board being called a troll

OK ?

Ok then, you're not a troll but a very cold and heartless person IMO. You're CM is well rid! I'm really pleased she was ok.

Well I can live with your opinion honey, now move along

See, I told you! Jerry Springer

She ain't all that

Oh, thought you'd gone

Talk to the hand

Being serious now, I'm not the sort of person to be nasty in RL or online and usually ignore nasty threads but I couldn't hold back on this one. I usually worry about hurting people feelings, even if I don't know them but I don't care whatsoever if you're for real and any comments you've read upset you (although I doubt they would anyway as you said you are thick skinned). I'm just so saddenly to see that there are people out there who could be sooooo insensitive.

I know Angelachill what it is like to be earning lots of money and still not exactly be rolling in money once you paid the nanny, mortgage on your over priced london flat, service charge etc... You don't know what it is like to actually have no money to get through the week (luckily neither do I) and no way of getting some.

Your total lack of compassion and understanding for people who survive on a pittance compared to you is gobsmacking. Sadly when I lived in west london I met loads like you.

Kazz33 - when I was in that position I did not want somebody who (you think) has no idea what is like living hand to mouth gushing with sympathetic noises, they could write me a cheque if they liked but lip service really isn't want people on a pitance want or need is it.
I have lived on income support with my DD1 and made £40 last longer than you ever think possible which is why when faced in a situation where we still don't have much I am fighting to save every penny and ensure that the days DH is offered work I move heaven and earth to make sure he can take them.

can someone tell me who C is? (batters?)

angela, i am pleased it was only cyst btw

cant believe this threads still going!!
its hillarious!!

btw whats a troll?!!!

lol at Greensleeves Jerry Springer post!

A troll is someone who comes on and posts something to get shocked responses and/or makes up stories adding info that makes no sense (is untrue) and just after attention! HTH

As someone who spends a lot of time working with people with breast cancer I am gob smacked by this thread.

To correct AC's comment, whilst breast cancer is far more common in older (post meno pausal women) it is by no means restricted to that group. Lumps should be taken seriously regardless of age - just ask Kylie, or jayne Tomlinson, or the 24 year old I recently met.

Thank God the majority of people going through this trauma have more sensitive and caring employers, and I hope AC is never put in the position of requiring an employer to be sympathetic to a crisis in her life
