Crossing all crossable bits for you, lovely Zombie.

marriednotdead · 15/04/2016 23:03

Hello dear Zombie and the Phlanx.

Another one crossing vaguely flexible bits in the hope that the appointment does not contain any spanners to be thrown into the works.

Really overawed thrilled at the possibility of actually seeing you at the meet up

magimedi · 16/04/2016 08:24

Also crossing fingers & thinking that allalone could be right re doctors strike and/or maybe your oncologist could be going on holiday & has to reschedule all appointments?

IamtheZombie · 17/04/2016 15:16

It has been exactly two years today since I have worn a bra. Today is the 2nd anniversary of my last mastectomy.

17 April 2014 was also the real start of the two most difficult years of my life so far. I had the chemo from hell following the Mx. I'm now on a chemo regime that I tolerate fairly well. I've had bits of my liver removed. I've been hospitalised 3 times for potentially life threatening chemo related side effects. I have become increasingly debilitated.

I will be eternally grateful for the love and support I have received from family and friends both RL and virtual. Thank you.

Despite this love and support, the fact remains that on a day to day basis I am alone in facing the reality of my life. That's hard. Very hard. I hate it.

Oh zombie I don't know what to say x

Mummylin · 17/04/2016 15:35

I can't begin to imagine how tough it is. Especially when it's the middle of the night and you can't sleep so you have so much time to think. I don't know how you cope to be honest. We admire you very much Zombie, but as you say. It ends up the same. Your battle is just that. Yours. If virtual friends could make you well, we would send you bucket loads of good health.
Please don't loose your fighting spirit. We are all here for you for the good and the bad times Flowers

Susiesoap7 · 17/04/2016 16:28

I think you are an amazing person and I will continue to ask the Angels to help you everyday X 🌸🌸

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 17/04/2016 17:22

I'm on Allalone's bench thinking that they are re-jigging appointments because of the strike; much better to see you early than risk keeping you waiting.

You never cease to amaze me with your fighting spirit and resilience, but of course it's hard facing it all alone. I hate that you have to.

Phalanx flags are fluttering, as always.

((((Bear))))

magimedi · 17/04/2016 17:25

I can just echo Mummylin's last post - I think of you often, Zombie .

Allalonenow · 17/04/2016 17:36

It is very hard and difficult, Zombie and you must need every grain of courage and determination that you posess to get through it.

I'm completely alone, so understand a little of how you feel, I often hate it too.

I hope you have got a chat session with ZLad lined up in the near future? And as the weather warms up, maybe a meeting with your DNiece? They usually involve champage in large amounts IIRC.

P1nkP0ppy · 17/04/2016 18:02

I can't imagine how it must feel, I can only say that my thoughts are very much with you.
It's a shit disease.

💐 and love x

FattyNinjaOwl · 17/04/2016 18:42

I think of you loads zombie I just wish I knew you IRL then I could give you a real hug.

Fiderer · 17/04/2016 19:07

Hell's teeth Zombie. Thinking back to the start of the Dustbin­™ I am in equal measure angry on your behalf - and, well, angry some more. That's no help of course.

Hopefully you can think of this virtual support as a sustaining & nourishing tonic. A few drops a day, just to take the edge off.

Much love as always Flowers

magimedi · 17/04/2016 19:42

Just popping in to send even more love - we are always here .

(((xxx)))

iklboo · 17/04/2016 20:04

I can't possibly know how you feel Zombie, but I do know you're an amazing, strong, inspiring lady and I'm proud to call you a friend - even though we may not have met (yet - I'm still hoping for a phalanx ginfest somewhere sometime I can get to!).

My thoughts & love are with you. Sending you virtual hugs till I get to give you a real one.

I hope you get another chat with ZLad soon & more catch ups with great friends. Also hoping the rescheduled appointments is for something like strike contingency or discuss new treatment.

Allalonenow · 17/04/2016 23:30

Hope you get some sleep tonight Zombie Thanks

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 17/04/2016 23:36

Hope you're sleeping Flowers

IamtheZombie · 18/04/2016 14:45

Ooh Zombie, I hope it's a tunnel ( dons pirate clothes to go down Zombies secret tunnel ) there may be a room with hidden treasures and all sorts > or maybe relics from the brontesaurus ! Grin

FattyNinjaOwl · 18/04/2016 16:24

Ooh. Maybe it's got bronze age loot in it and you will end up in the paper

Fiderer · 18/04/2016 16:27

Yikes. Hope you've anchored yourself to a solid & unsinkable structure. Maybe also a solid sailor Wink

IamtheZombie · 18/04/2016 19:16

The first 3 photos from today's excavation.
