The waiting, knowledge of what you went through last time and expectations of what might come next must be driving you mad. Gentle hugs and positive thoughts coming your way xx
And me...
And lots more gentle hugs and thoughts coming your way xxThe time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time

The waiting is the pits.
The phrase "we will have to wait and see" is my most hated phrase ever

No results from scan yet but got Oncology appt next thursday.Spoke to nurse but results not through yet but should no more by friday as that's the day they have the meeting.
DH took the taxi to garage to have oil leak looked at and service...result something to do with the sump,part ordered,oil topped up and no service and will be going in fri am to be fixed so big bill to come £500/£600 region...sigh
Paid the taxi insurance yesterday so another £1100 spent...sigh...need to take the documents to insurance when I can get out....sigh
Ordered new beds the other day for the dogs and thought they may come today but didn't,just checked the online tracking and both arrived at Preston depot and were scanned in 3 minutes apart but worryingly one was put on van at 2.22 am for delivery but other parcel isn't showing that so could be stuck in tomorrow(well today now) and friday...big peed off sigh...seem to have been stuck in for ever....
I haven't been out of the door since monday as waiting for phone calls,deliveries etc am really fed up0 -
Oh sorry Taxi that things are conspiring against you generally and being stuck indoors can't be helping - life can such a sh*t at times
Hugs

Todays news nothing interesting as was stuck in all day again.
Both dog beds were delivered so that's good.
Got the insurance stuff through so need to take badge,DHs licence,reg document and taxi licence plus signed form tomorrow straight after dropping taxi off at garage.
Will need to come straight home then and await phone call from hospital.
Had to phone nurse again today as got another appointment through post to see oncologist on 3rd sept..this time my own oncologist....so needed to ask her what was going on..long story short I'll be seeing my own on 3rd sept rather than the appointment they sent for another oncolgist...and still no scan results yet...yet meeting is 9am tomorrow...they are really messing with my head now
Will be glad when saturday comes as won't be stuck in waiting for deliveries,phone calls etc..am going to go out don't know where yet but definitely out somewhere0 -
Bet the dogs love their new beds, sods law with the car, esp as hubby needs it for work.
Hopefully with the meeting in the morning one of the big wigs will get the results through for you.
You make sure you get out on Saturday, what about little man, sure he'll help get u into trouble xxxx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx0 -
I don't blame you getting out and about...all that sitting in must be doing your head in!
Enjoy it when you finally do. xxxPlease call me 'Pickle'

Had car fixed and serviced cost over £400 and they discovered another expensive job to be done..it never bloody ends
Hospital phoned eventually at 4pm and it's a mixed bag.
Good news is that it hasn't spread to organs
Bad news...2 suspicious solid nodes in sub pectoral region so need to see surgeon on weds to see if they can operate on it before chemo/rads...hopefully they can find a chemo to work0
