    My lovely friend passed away this afternoon after battling the C. I don't want to say she lost her battle as the C didn't win as it didn't claim her - her personality and humour always shone through.
    :( So sorry.

    Evening


    Just skimming before we go out and had to mention this

    Breast Cancer awareness month - give em a squeeze
    i found a large cyst last year which really worried me, had a mammogram and the cyst was drained. soon after found another the dr sent me back and i felt i was told off by the nurses, they got quite 'short' with me ......... it felt more like a threat for time wasting so i told them not to bother got dressed quickly and vowed not to waste their time again

    I am so angry and sorry that you were made to feel like this and think you should have registered a complaint, it's not too late to say anything to your GP about the verbal treatment you received, it's outrageous. Don't let them let you put your health at risk.

    OK off out now will catch up with rest later, hugs as required to one and all x

    I completely agree. You must not let this stop you getting anything checked. Both of my friends who have BC have previously had cysts.

    Decko sending love to you and your friend's family at such a dreadfully sad time. You friend sounds like she added a lot to your life xx
    The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair

    I quite agree. With all the publicity about checking for lumps how can NHS staff behave like this. This member of staff needs to be disciplined or at least retrained. If nobody complains nothing will change.

    So sorry, Deco. Hugs.

    Did ironing left over from yesterday's washing.
    Sorted warm clothes so I know what I'm keeping.
    Now have a new pile of ironing!

    Never mind, at least my hair's shorter!
