Class of '18 nervously waiting.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

They've left college, now we are trying not to think about a certain date.

Hopefully Derek it won't come to having treatment. At least they have to give you an appointment within two weeks. I am quite positive it is fine but then you have a little thought - oh what if?! Basically the same as waiting for A level results!

Good Iuck to you not Have derek and marmite.

Hopefully they will both turn out to be harmless and you can soon put this all behind you.

Not Have should say both

Clearly was not wishing you ill :(

Bloody butter fingers and autocorrect

derek and marmite anxious times but I hope it all turns out well.

Thanks everyone. Feels like virtual hugs. Mumsnet is great sometimes.

All the best Derek and Marmite. Xx

Thinking of you both Derek & marmite.

Graduation ceremony went off well then a late lunch afterwards.

Top tips for attending graduation ceremonies:

• take a bag into which all the things people don't want to hold for photos can be dropped

• take a fan
• allow the full time proposed in the pre-read. Registration, gown collection, photos etc all take longer than you think.
• don't clap too enthusiastically for the first few graduates. There's a lot of clapping to be done, pace yourself!

Very best wishes to derek and marmite - I hope all will be well with both of you.

LJ that sounds like a great plan to take the pressure off

kitten can I come out of the naughty corner yet?

Sending good wishes to everyone dealing with health issues and worries at the moment.

derek and marmite hope things go well for you both.

Ursula - DS had a dental appointment this afternoon. He was driving himself today and said he would use his satnav to get there - it is literally a 5 minute drive down a straight road and he's been going there since he was a baby! Your DD is doing far better than he is!

Gnome - glad graduation went well.

DS has had his accommodation offer today...prepayment made and we now know which flat he'll be in...it's all getting a bit real now

Good luck to all those with hospital appts. Had bc six years ago, and am still standing (or sitting, to be more accurate)

Suddenly realised that August is next week, and that means the big R day is getting closer.

Also, it seems th nights are getting darker earlier, even though the normal,school holiday has just started.

Can I join? DS did his BTEC (anyone know when those results are released?) and is off to uni in September. Please!!! He’s working away for an agency this week so house is quiet. DD graduated last but has already been in her job as a Mental Health Nurse since the beginning of July.
Oh and I’m a student nurse in my first year.
A bit of a theme going on !!

Welcome Lolimax :)

Let's still pretend that nothing important is going to be happening soonish.

Just checking in on new thread as still on hols here. Lots of lovely sun, beaches, food & a few nice cocktails & aperitifs (well, it would be rude not to partake of the local culture! ) So nice to unwind at long last!

Best of luck to those going through breast check-ups & hospital appointments - hope everything is ok for you.

Lovely reading all your posts about graduation & feeling a tad emotional. I am well & truly parking Results Day for when we return.

My very best wishes Derek and Marmite

Best wishes Derek and Marmite. I hope all goes well for you both.
Chocolate, I think you might have to stay in the naughty corner a bit longer.

I hope you are rocking the superwoman cape today Marmite

Derek I've been thinking about you this morning. DS is on day three of a non-residential thing, days one and two have been fine but this morning I've had a stream of texts. They've all been unhappy, not coping, can't do it, how will I get through the week and then they stopped. I have no idea whether he's hiding in the toilets or laughing with his feet on the desk. I feel sick, I can't settle to anything and I have no idea what he thinks I can do about any of this.

Signing back into new thread. Now waiting for both results and to hear about apprenticeship applications as well.
Thinking of you both marmite and derek.

So not the best morning. Had mammogram and scan. They found small dark area so then had a needle biopsy. Get results day after I get back from holiday. It wasn't even in the area I thought was dodgy so I suppose it is good I went and they found it as I am not old enough for routine mammograms.

So now I am swinging from feeling that it will be fine to total panic. Trying to keep calm and not tell my DDs as don't want to worry them.

Bugger Marmite. I'm sorry that you are going through this. I hope it turns out to be nothing. It's really good that youve had it checked.

Knitting I'm beginning to think mobiles are a curse. He may well be actually fine really and be clueless that he's left you feeling on a state.

I'll hold your hand Marmite. I think the waiting phase in anything frightening is the worst because you haven't a clue what you're dealing with. The result will be whatever it will be whether you assume the worst or stick your head in the sand, at this point I'd be attempting full ostrich. That's what I did the year when DH was out on his ear after a company merger, he found out on the run up to Christmas that he would be redundant. I told myself that I'd worry about it after Boxing Day and by that time he'd found what turned out to be his dream job.

Xpost OYBBK I have had a perfectly reasonable text about the time of a concert so I'm hoping that he's past his wobble. He has no idea what this does to me, starting with the anxious fight or flight toilet visit and progressing from there. It doesn't help that there seems to be a total disconnect between his therapy sessions and real life, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that he doesn't do his homework.

Sending hugs marmite. The waiting is definitely worse. I am waiting for the letter following my check up and my nerves are getting increasingly frazzled.

There is a support thread in General Health if you feel the need.
