[biscuitsandbandages]

When I woke up this morning I was a mum of 3 with an 8 week old baby.

Now im a cancer patient on thr coronary care ward.

This cannot be happening to me.

Hi biscuits,

Great photo, almost looks like, she's giving you a cheeky wink and a thumbs up.

Hope you have a good day today.

What a cutie she is!

Have a good day. Still thinking of you.

Hi biscuits. :) Just found this thread and wanted to add my support. You sound like a truly awesome woman with a wonderful family. Your baby girl is absolutely beautiful.

Lots of love and hugs and positive thoughts from me and mine to you and yours. x

She's gorgeous. Love that smile.

I found this thread yesterday and read every page. What an incredible woman you are. I didn't want to post as there are so many poster with far more to offer than I can, in experience and eloquence.

However I wanted to give you another hand to hold and for you to know I will be thinking of you and your beautiful family.

I am bursting with hope and every good wish for you all.

Ah, she's lovely. I love her little pistol fingers!

Happy 12 week birthday mini- biscuit.

What a cutie she is!!

Stay stale xx

What a little cutie! Beautiful picture biscuits. Call in the help of anyone you know - many of us mere mortals would love to know people who could help in times of need. You've done your bit, now you need a bit of help in return!

On a very selfish note - please biscuits (as you've clearly got nothing else to think about other than MN!!!) keep an eye on the numbers on this thread - we all need you to start the new one!!

Thank you, i think she looks like she is channelling the fonz!

Ok so just had a full and frank discussion with lovely registrar regarding my need for full disclosure and being kept in the loop.

I have explained that I am not part of their clinical team but they are part of MY clinical team and they need to include me in their discussions. They know my educational level and professional qualifications. When I'm well we have shared responsibility for some patients and have discussed their care many times. They all know I understand the issues and details. They are my issues and details and I will no longer tolerate being kept in the dark. This stops now.

Ps new thread in the morning on my 4 week anniversary of incarceration.

I promise x

Gorgeous pic Biscuits - she's adorable. (I have had to slightly amend my username - couldn't log in on my PC after the password changes!)

Good you are now going to get full disclosure - must be v hard being a HCP and a patient......I know my (surgeon) brother makes a terrible patient!

Well done for getting them to be frank with you. My mum was ill a couple of years ago and it was really hard to get HCPs out of the rut of euphemisms like "she's really quite poorly".

4 weeks. Each day is one you won't have to do again. Onwards.

biscuits she is far too cute! You are making me clucky, and I have enough children

I've read your thread from the first night you posted, although I didn't post straight away. You've come so far, you are so strong ... Keep up the good work (xxx)

Aww mini biscuits is gorgeous!

I like the new thread name to be, it's got a lovely positive vibe, and the 4 week deadline for this thread is great. 4 weeks in, lots of hurdles overcome. Full of admiration for you biscuits

Well done on the discussion. Keep as strong as that & kick the cancer.

Baby biscuits is just adorable - I feel broody & I'm not far off 60!

Looking forward to the new thread.

Great new thread title, Buscuits-may it be full of positives!

Love the pic of baby Biscuits- a dose of her every day must be good for the soul. xxx

She's a beauty, biscuits. My (now 19-week old) DD also has a Saturday birthday. Cuddles with her were a large part of what kept me going through the hard times.

Loving your kick-ass attitude re the clinical team! Being a (highly qualified & well educated) HCP must have its advantages!

Looking forward to new thread too.

Sleep well.

MiniBiscuits is just heavenly. It is mother's day here - DD and I just walked 8 k in a breast cancer fundraiser and I hope you don't mind and I know that your have a different disease but I thought of you and your family for much of the way.

Lost this thread for a bit but checking in now - off to fund the new thread now

Lovely photo!

Hoping you are doing ok Biscuits, just saw the photo of your daughter and she is such a wee cutie. Can't wait to see the new thread!

Fonz-baby is adorable. Hope you had a good night

Last night I fell asleep with my daughter in my arms as I did all those weeks ago. It was bliss.DH took her home at midnight and I slept soundly till two. Probably the best sleep since I came in even if it was only short.

It hurts this morning.

It hurts badly.

But I'm still here 4 weeks in and I fully intend to stay that way.
