Zombie's journey with breast cancer

[IamtheZombie]

The thread that Val started has now been moved to General Health. www.mumsnet.com/Talk/general_health/2016081-Zombie-needs-her-limbs-holding?msgid=46439734

Please keep posting there if you wish.

As most of you know, I'm having my second mastectomy on Thursday. I will almost certainly need to have more chemotherapy.

This is my thread for those who wish to walk beside me on my journey.

Thinking of you today and in the weeks ahead Zombie.
I hope everything goes well today x

You are in my thoughts and prayers today Zombie

Zombie I've just been reading the FYF thread and it has prompted a vision of you

You are standing outside the hospital, enjoying some "fresh air", wrapped in your Woolly Hug and wearing your no horsey scarf tied on your head like the Queen!

Could you please confirm when you have actually done this?

Selfie opp?

Waving virtual no-horse flag for things to go as smoothly as possible

Thinking of you Zombie.

Zombie, I am wearing my no-horse scarf all day in your honour (and it's a big honour, it's blooming hot here!).

I know you probably won't see this until afterwards, but you have held yourself with dignity and poise throughout this horrible journey. Hopefully today will mark the beginning of the end of that cancer that has you in its sights. If anyone can beat this the Zombie can.

You're going to wake up with that beautiful blanket, your daft scarf, and a future of friends and meadows (and if you're very lucky, stackable goats).

It's one of those "god I wish there was something I could say that would actually help" moments. Instead I shall ramble on. Soon today's battle will be over. And Zombie will emerge, tougher than ever.

Thinking of you lots. I might even start a game of "Zombies" in the field with the dcs (it's like tig/tag but with more lurching).

Xxx

Good luck today Zombie, hope all goes well and I'll be thinking of you x

I'm going to be quick as I don't really know what to say other than that I will be thinking of you all day and am also wrapped in the no-horsey scarf with horses on and I second everything that Chris said, except the game because I have no one to play with. Much love to you Zombie

Hen, you can come and play with us :) (still intrigued by the name!)

Hi Zombie

Been thinking of you all morning.

Lots of love and hugs

I don't have a horsey scarf, but I'm wearing my daft minions T shirt and hoping you'll have lots to smile about soon. All the best.

Thinking of you Zombie

Sending much love to you..xx

Thinking of you Zombie. Broken my MN ban just to hold your limbs

Sending you and

SayCool!! -

I was at the hairdresser this afternoon (under the heater thing looking like the wreck of the Hesperus!) and was thinking of you zombie.
Hope you are as well as you can be x

I guess is a bit frowned on in hospitals but I'm going to toast you anyway - santé

hmm, Z does have that nice private room ... and it has been known for her to be a little bit norty ... nah, I'm sure she wouldn't dream of it

I hope Zombie packed an Easter Egg, even if it's made of cheese!
xxxxx

Boozing it up indeed to the dear zombie

Evening all

Just to let you all know Zombie has come through the op well, has company and os doing ok. obv on painkillers and half hourly obs but all seems ok

Brilliant news, Val. Thanks. Don't know what more to say really. Feeling a little tear.....

Also in the hospital she is in there is an amazing online service where messages sent via the following link are printed and given to the patient daily:

www.sath.nhs.uk/patients-and-visitors/ecards/default.aspx

So if you'd like to send one I'm sure she'd love it

Thank you Val
