Onwards and Upwards: Staying stale in the teacup of life

[biscuitsandbandages]

This is my 3rd thread as I go from a shock diagnosis of leukaemia towards what will hopefully be a cure.

Life is shit but I am strong and there will be happy times again.

Thank you everyone for your ongoing suppport x

Congratulations! !!!! Thats brilliant! :-)

Have a lovely holiday and it would be lovely to meet and put a face to the name when im in :-)

If anyone deserves a little favour from Allah, 'tis you biscuits. I'll put in a little request too.

Stay stale

Biscuits,

Have been away from MN for a bit and lost your thread from my actives. I am so pleased the transplant is imminent and will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Onwards and upwards indeed! X

My anxiety levels are definately up but ive had a lovely weekend nonetheless.

Baby girl has learnt to crawl so thats another milestone ive been there for and ive sold the crib and pram on ebay so end of an era for us! No more tiny babies (actually quite relieved) been doing homework with my boys and generally pottering and organising the house for when im not here.

Hi biscuits sorry I haven't checked it for a while but im still rooting for you. Great news that your baby is crawling, my first is just walking but it only seems seconds to me since he was just lying there. Glad you got out to legoland, im sure I will have to go at some point.

Are you watching our zoo on tv? Great feelgood telly if you get bored when you are recovering from your op. Wishing you the best of luck with it you will be Christmas shopping from the comfort of your armchair at home before you know it (sorry to mention the other c word in September)!

Keep calm and dunk biscuits :)

cups of tea and 2 jammy dodgers to you this morning Biscuits

hope I haven't ruined your lunch by lobbing biscuits over at this time

All biscuits gratefully received :-)

Chilling with baby R. There should be a photo on my profile if it works. She is loving being able to crawl. One week to go. Still impatient and anxious.

Ooh, she's LOVELY! Look at the cheeks!

One week to get through, you've come so so far. I'm contributing an Orange Club biscuit.

I just had an Orange Club biscuit Womb so second that one.

De-lurking again to say your daughter is adorable and so glad you are getting to spend some time with your family. Good luck for next week. Will be following your progress and cheering you on (if somewhat silently!).

Baby R is absolutely gorgeous

Your post about wanting to thank the donor both before and after the procedure, just in case brought a lump to my throat. What a lovely person you sound biscuits.

Offers Tunnock's tea cakes and caramel wafers.

What a little cutie! Think of you regularly - glad you're enjoying your time at home.

Impatience and anxiety are so completely understandable. Feel impatient and anxious for you! But it's going to be ok, Biscuits. Try to assuage your fear. Look how far you've come since that dark day in April. And look how much you've tolerated. You're still here and you have everything to play for. Keep those spirits up.

That picture of baby R is just scrumptious. It's no wonder you're loving being at home. WHAT a little poppet! That alone would bring a smile to my face and provide reason to keep battling on.

Stay stale X

Nothing like a huge baby grin! She is so sweet, and she has a brave and amazing mother.

Ooh, little R is gorgeous: what a smiler!
Enjoy what you can of the week, my dear. Little things and all that xx

Following your story and wishing you the best of luck every step of the way. I signed up to delete blood cancer on Tuesday and donated money as well. I've been following Margot's story for a while and have everything possible crossed for both of you - and for everyone else battling this awful disease.

Thank you loveis and bundles of for signing up

hi Biscuits, I've not been around for ages so I don't post much but I'm really glad to see you are doing so so well. I hope the week passes with lots of baby smiles and joy. Your little R is absolutely gorgeous.

I got my Delete Blood Cancer pack today!

Oooh, biscuits, just finally got onto MN on the pc instead of phone and seen your lovely baby. Adorable!!!

Oh my, how gorgeous is baby R? Biscuits she is so lovely

Thank you, she has been viral and feverish today so we have been playing peekaboo from a safe distance while my mum looks after her. I miss my cuddles. How hard is Wednesday going to be

It must be awfully difficult not to cuddle her when she feels unwell, biscuits. You are being incredibly strong.

Wednesday will be tough but, like today, you'll get through it with a smile on your face in front of your DCs and you can fall apart once you're at the transplant centre.

Once you've allowed yourself that moment of self indulgence you can get on with the job of beating this leukaemia into submission and getting back home permanently.

We're all still thinking of you.

xx

Poor baby R. And poor you! I can only imagine how difficult it is to watch someone else look after your poorly baby.
But you know this is temporary, you will have plenty of fevers and vomits in your future to clean up and nurse once you are well
My thoughts and best wishes and all the things in one mums heart to another are with you
