gingeroots...how are you doing?

[Elibean]

I'm sorry, I looked for your original post but couldn't find it.

Hope the waiting is easier now, and that you get some reassurance soon xx

Oh you're all so kind , thank you .

More sedation this time around and I remember nothing .

I've already been referred to multi disiplinary team and had a phone call regarding more tests on Monday and a further one on Wednesday to consider results and discuss treatment .

I'm impressed by the speed and grateful to consultant for getting it through so quickly .

Myself ,I'm in cloud cuckoo land .
Mainly I feel immense relief that I'm not still in that awful limbo of expecting news any second ,endlessly fearing the worst but wondering if I was overreacting .

I can't really bear to think about what lies ahead and I'm finding ignoring it easier than the waiting stage .

Glad the endoscopy wasn't too traumatic for you today, ginger. It sounds like the consultant is really on your side now and he is pushing so you won't have to wait too long before they have decided on the best course of treatment.

It is still a terrible shock for you and I think you are right not to focus on all the possibilities of what may or may not lie ahead. I know it is a cliche, but just dealing with things on a daily basis may be easier? Once you are armed with all the information about the treatment options, hopefully it will give you back some control over the situation. It must be awful not knowing what is going to happen next. Still here and thinking of you.

thinking of you and pleased it went better today x

Zen speaks sense

I'm glad the endo went more easily, and consultant is behaving, and getting you treated fast.

You know, it strikes me that if/when you want more knowledgeable people who can advise about coping with treatment, the Tamoxifen thread is brill - lovely, lovely ladies and a whole variety of experiences which they're always happy to share (along with cyber-treats).

Thanks for that Zen ,kingfisher ,and eli.

I might do what you suggest eli - might pick up some tips on inducting DP and son ( latter not told yet ) as to the mysteries of the washing machine etc .

And what to do about DP who is not dealing well with this I think .
He says he doesn't want to talk about it and that therefore he can't help me and is a terrible person .

Hi ginger I couldn't find your thread yesterday.
Thinking of you.

Do, ginger. Really, they are lovely.

I'm sorry your dp is finding it so hard to talk about it...hope he finds it easier once the initial shock wears off. Perhaps once treatment is planned and underway, things will settle a little more and become a sort of 'new normal'...but again, the ladies on Tamoxifen thread would have helpful words on all that, I think.

Thinking about you x

Oh Ginger! I have missed all this. Sending very local warmest best wishes thoughts and am also about the suggestion you might want to browse the shops of Camberwell Green. What did she mean ... Peacocks, Poundland, Greggs ???

Darling ginger, hoping your weekend has been as good as can be. How is your DH, has he started to talk yet? After my op my DH had some strange ways of processing what had happened but settled in time. Different situation but hopefully your DH will settle too and be able to support you as you need him to.

Anyhow lovely, I am thinking of you and send my love xx

Am thinking of you too, and glad you've found the Tamox ladies

Will be sending good vibes all week, xxx
