    Hi honey, yep, an old timer right here xxx its good that you've got a date, and its less than a month away now. I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this - but you're doing it *so* well. Just keep your focus as you are, weight loss, immune system, enjoying life - I'll be coming back more regularly to check how you're doing xxx

    I don't think I'd be coping so well if it was me in this situation - you are being so strong and focused despite of all the worry. You are amazing x

    Thanks everyone..have missed all me old muckers..please don't disappear again..LOL.

    I don't see it as being strong just as getting on with what has to be done.I'm scared that it is the big C again and will need every strength I have if I need to have chemo again as I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
    I hope all you ladies are checking your boobs and under your arms at least on a monthly basis and don't ignore any puckering either.

    Been to WWs this morning and have lost 4.5lbs this week so am happy with that.My WW leader is fantastic and has even offered to bring the scales to my house after my op if I can't get to meeting...she's so lovely x

    Went to PO this morning and ordered some Levs to be picked up tomorrow...can't wait for this holiday and will be lovely for DD2 and I to have some quality time together..poor DH gets to stay at home and work and look after the dogs

    Its your DD2 and you that are away! Excellent! She's the one I met that time? ... how long ago that seems, sigh ...

    Taxi, I'm not surprised you're scared its the big C, as you say ... I honestly believe that your approach, to talk about it, to get all the support you can, is the best approach to any illness, and that includes the big C. I'm glad your WW leader is so helpful.

    Take care xxx

    I'm not on here much these days and yours is the only diary I'm still subscribed to but I had to come out of lurkdom to send you best wishes and lots of positive vibes, + a (((hug))).

    At least they are being proactive and not taking any chances.

    Enjoy your holiday.
    But how can you know what you want till you get what you want and you see if you like it?

    hi Taxi, i truely hope that you have a wonderful holiday so you can recharge your batteries ready for what's ahead. If it was a case of nothing can touch people who are much loved and supported then nothing would be able to get near to you because that's what you are.
    fingers crossed they don't find anything serious when you have your op.
