Zombie needs her limbs holding

[Valpollicella]

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

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

Fingers crossed for Friday.

Squeezing zombie's hand.

Keeping everything crossed for friday.
((Hugs)) for you zombie, so long as you don't try a nibble or go for my brains obviously. (Not that my brain would make for anything more than a very small hors d'oeurve)

Big pinkie bosie from me,

(Tissue glue on standby)

Limb holding from Chez Fuckery too. I'll even stick them back on if they drop off

Gentle hug Zombie and positive thoughts for Friday.

(Tissue glue on standby)

Don't feel stupid for being worried. It's a totally normal reaction. Fingers crossed that all goes well on Friday for you

Limbs and fingers crossed that it will be positive news on Friday.

Thank you all so much.

I'm a bit calmer today.

I had my annual check-up appointment with my surgeon on 31st January. At last year's appointment she had told me that the protocol for mammograms had changed and I wouldn't need one before this year's appointment. On the 31st I was advised that the protocol had changed again and they would send me an appointment for one. She then examined me and all seemed well. There was absolutely no mention of another appointment this year after the mammogram. It was all "See you next year" chat.

I had the mammogram last Tuesday, 25th February. The radiographer told me that if I hadn't received a letter with the results in about 2 weeks I should ring my surgeon for them.

I had an Oncology Clinic appointment last Thursday. The oncologist also examined me and all seemed well.

That is why I was so shocked and upset yesterday when I opened the letter from the hospital to find an appointment for this Friday morning. All I could think was "Oh, fuck, the mammogram must have shown something that they're concerned about".

I'm doing my best to be positive. If there is a problem it's been discovered at a very early stage.

I'll know for certain with 48 hours.

Zombie, with all those examinations, as you say, if there is something it's early, or it'll turn out to be nothing at all (I really hope the latter)

Xxx

Oh Zombie. How awful

And I'm holding an arm and a leg x

Another limb-holder here.

I am propelling positive thoughts and mucho love, Zombie-way.

I have that bottle of Buckfast on hold for our roadtrip, Zombie.

Best wishes Zombie x

Y'know, Zombie, it crosses my mind that since they keep fucking around with the protocols, it's just possible that you've been sent an appt letter by mistake. OR that it's the new protocol, that you HAVE to have a consultant appt after your mammogram, regardless of outcome.

I love the NHS, but their administrative processes can get seriously fucked up sometimes

All possible positive vibes, and gentle hugs, Zombie

Yy, Thumbwitch. My terrible health anxiety flared up when my GP called me in after some blood tests. I didn't sleep for 3 nights until I went in to get the results. WHICH WERE FINE. Stupid fuckers.

Limb holding & positive vibes xx

Lots of Payers and limb holding from me too.

I really hope its just a NHS mess up.

Have never wanted to hold a zombies hand till now.
Positive vibes are on their way.

sending hugs and squishing a hand xxx

I'm sure they would've called you in sooner if it was anything to worry about

Oh Lorks - hoping so much it's nothing to worry about. Can you ring the hospital and ask why you have been recalled?

Lots of positive vibes coming your way. Hope it turns out to be nothing serious. .
