Zombie needs her limbs holding

875 replies

With Zombie's permission, I'm starting this thread

As many of you know she has had a hideous time through her treatment for cancer.

At the point where she was maybe out of the woods she has been asked to see her surgeon on Friday. Unexpectedly Sad

Can we all squeeze her together so her limbs don't go flailing
and do what we vipers do best?

I cannot bear the thought of her going through all the treatment s again after coming out of it before

Prayers, fingers crossing or whatever welcome right now

Thank you for sharing that photo Zombie. You're right, it does make the point much more vividly than a bare face. I hope all goes well tomorrow.

DrankSangriaInThePark · 20/03/2014 15:11

Good luck for tomorrow Zombie. xx

LizaTarbucksAuntie · 20/03/2014 15:18

MoominsYonisAreScary · 20/03/2014 15:36

Well done zombie, ive seen a few similar selfies on fb and also have lots of makeup less selfies and with make up selfies (men) poping up on fb, along with pics of all of them donating money.

I havent had a nomination for a selfie yet but have donated already.

All the best tomorrow Zombie, and what a powerful picture Flowers

WingDefence · 20/03/2014 16:00

Wow - I've never seen a photo of a mastectomy before. Thank you for posting it - for someone like me it takes away some of the mystique (if you know what I mean; this is not really coming across well).

Will be thinking of you tomorrow Thanks

AdoraBell · 20/03/2014 16:06

Everything still crossed for you here Zombie

Good luck and positive vibes for tomorrow.

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/03/2014 16:19

Sending hugs and love - beautiful inspiring pic of a brave lady Thanks

selfies are fine if also donate and seems
People are donating so that has to be a good thing as more money going to cancer research

Spero · 20/03/2014 16:26

I hope it goes well. I am still in two minds on this selfie thing, but if it's encouraging donations that's good.

blackcurrentjuice · 20/03/2014 16:40

Oh Zombie - we have spoken before when I was under a different name.

I am so sorry to hear this. May there be lots of love sent your way for tomorrow.

I hope it goes as best as it can and I will keep all fingers crossed for positive news that it's benign.

HesterShaw · 20/03/2014 16:45

Best wishes and limb holding from me too Zombie. I'm so sorry you're going through this again.

I also have been very hmm about the selfies thing and actually posted a massively twattish comment on FB explaining why. People like you have helped change my mind. I will donate for everyone, but especially for you x

ExitPursuedByABear · 20/03/2014 16:50

Great pic. Great lady.

I had no idea what the no make up nominations were about until I saw your comments on the FB page.

I have now seen people posting pics of their donations so I suppose that is a good thing.

Spent yesterday at the funeral of a man in his 30s who died of a hideous cancer. We are making a donation on his behalf.
