Oh BB, I am so sorry sweetie Have they given her any kind of prognosis?

BeMyLilBaby · 12/02/2008 09:06

Thanks both of you, she ahs had it before and up till now has been clear for a year so im being positive, im sure she'l beat it again, just outrages me that she has to deal with this crap, i want to stamp my feet and shout its not fair!! Im sure she'l be ok tho they are taking it out on 10th march, its just all so unfair cos, shes always worked so hard and been so healthy x

kayzisbroody · 12/02/2008 09:09

If she has beaten once she will beat it again.
We're here if you need to shout and scream!

NatalieJane · 12/02/2008 09:12

Where is the cancer?

I am guessing she would have still been under fairly close obs for it returning? So I am sure they will have caught it quickly, which is obviously much better.

As Kay says, shout and scream and stamp your foot on here, anything we can do just yell

BeMyLilBaby · 12/02/2008 09:15

thanks, its all just frustrating! Its in her bladder, and as you've said it'l just be a case of catching it now and removing it, i sort of feel guilty for feeling bad myself cos i think how scared she must be im just gonna stay positive and believe

kayzisbroody · 12/02/2008 09:19

You shouldn't feel guilty, I'd be terrified if it was my nan

NatalieJane · 12/02/2008 09:21

BB, cancer is such a scarey illness. People tend to think cancer equals 6 hellish months before you die in agony, but it normally doesn't mean anything as dramatic as that. It is perfectly fine for you to be feeling bad for yourself. Someone you love is poorly. And I am sure your Nan would understand any of her family and friends feeling bad, although if she is anything like my Gran she would rather cut her own toes off than make anyone feel bad!

Staying positive and believing are the very best things you can do, but make sure you don't bottle up any of the other emotions, that is when things go wrong.

Can you maybe take her some nice pressies (not talking about magazines and grapes here!) Maybe some new PJ's or some nice bath goodies so she can have a nice soak in the hospital or whatever? I think bringing nice things makes you feel better, almost as though you are doing something to help.

BeMyLilBaby · 12/02/2008 09:23

I think im just gonna stay positive, anyway lets change the subject! WHo has a recommendation for a baby book i can buy that i havent already read?

Ive read both of vicki iovines (best friends guide to preg, and BFG to motherhood)
Rough guide to preg and birth, rough guide to babies, G-F contented lil baby, NCT book of sleep, and mums on abbies by mumsnet...any recommendations? i like reading it helps me do something constructive with my excitement

BeMyLilBaby · 12/02/2008 09:24

Thanks for that aswell NJ posted while you were posting, i think i might pop in with a few gifts like you said

kayzisbroody · 12/02/2008 09:27

I have the pregnancy for dummies book and its really good. It found it a great help when I was expecting ds.

NatalieJane · 12/02/2008 09:28

Don't feel bad for talking about it on here BB, the thread doesn't always have to be led by Diege's humour

Sorry I don't do baby books..... have you looked on t'inernet? Just be careful what you put in google to search for....! I was searching for Thomas the Tank Engine not long ago, and what came back WAS NOT Thomas the Tank!

kayzisbroody · 12/02/2008 09:33

LOL I've had that many times, I look for things and what I want doesn't come up

BeMyLilBaby · 12/02/2008 09:34

kayzisbroody · 12/02/2008 09:40

Im dreading tell work when I'm pg, there is always someone pg at work, and its normally always someone on the deli which I work on. My supervisor will probably cry. She has lost 3 members of staff due to pg

kayzisbroody · 12/02/2008 09:49

Help!!
I really want to try to ttc now. But I must wait til May.
Someone slap me please

NatalieJane · 12/02/2008 09:50

BeMyLilBaby · 12/02/2008 10:12

kayzisbroody · 12/02/2008 10:32

I love working on the deli, except when i was pg the smell of the chickens we cooked made me feel really sick.

Diege · 12/02/2008 11:10

Morning . Just a quickie from me as snowed under at work!!!
BB, sending lots of sympathy for your nan . Be strong, and as others have said we are all here for you . Think NJ's suggestions of some nice nightwear and smellies is a lovely idea .
Oh and if it's OK [diege ducks and cringes] can I go back to May please??

kayzisbroody · 12/02/2008 11:12

Back why??
I thought no one was allowed to go back??

Teuch · 12/02/2008 11:54

BB - sorry to hear your news. If she is the fighter you say she is then she has that on her side, along with a very supoprtive family if you are anything to go by!

Diege...you better ahve a very good reason m'lady!!

BeMyLilBaby · 12/02/2008 11:55

Diege thanks for your sympathy im sticking with the midset that she's beaten it once and will again!

BeMyLilBaby · 12/02/2008 11:56

Sorry teuch posted as you where! Whats the tractor related drama then? sounds juicy!

Diege · 12/02/2008 11:57

Oh yes, my own rule too . Just worried about sickness and effect it will have on my work etc (things get easier work-wise in June). Will that do? .
TEUCH, intriqued by tractor-rescue! Tell us more!

kayzisbroody · 12/02/2008 11:58
