Hi all, feeling a bit down today as I have to have the core biopsy after all, the cells they took under the fine needle aspiration came back category 3. For someone without my history of breast cancer this would normally mean only a 10% chance of their being something wrong, for me it means a biopsy.

Just as I was planning on getting the reconstruction done for the one they have already removed, there's now a chance I could be losing the other one too

Quietish day- have just got back from enjoying a pastie bought for me by my boss in the park. Lovely and sunny. Am off to visit a friend this afternoon and the plan is to take our sons out for a nice long walk to wear the little tykes out!!
See you

Just wanted to say I'm thinking of you and sending you hugs and strength to get through whatever the next few weeks / months may bring.

Keep your chin up and remember "Never let the B*st*rds (sorry for the language) get you down".

Take care

Thinking of you moggins, sending you hugs and positive vibes.

And Mrs B, are you my Mum in disguise? That's what she always says and I always quote it all the time! Very good advice it is too!

Hi all

It's a red-hot day down here near the Thames. I got some more of the voluntary work that I do, keyboarding sections of the Bible into weird languages, so I did some of that while B went to the market. He brought back a load of lovely fruit, also 2 cauliflowers (cauliflower cheese later!) and some beans.

For lunch B just cut up some of the fruit - the peaches wouldn't keep much longer but were lovely in a fruit salad and that was all we wanted for lunch with a Yeo Valley fruit yogurt on top. We just had a glass of cold water, filtered tap-water kept in the fridge - we are lucky in this country that our tap-water is fit to drink! We filter it and keep it in the fridge because it tastes nicer.

Many of the older people round about don't eat enough fruit and fresh veg, they say they can't afford to. And yet there should be no excuse at this time of year, there's so much of it easily available, cheaply if you go to the market. They also don't drink enough.

I watched the 'Real Story' programme last night at 7.30 am on BBC1 about antibiotics and untreatable infections. Did anyone see it? Scary. Here it is: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/real_story/4142486.stm

And because I'll be having more major hip reconstruction surgery later this year I think it's even more important not to eat any meat that's been fed antibiotics during its short and 'industrial' life. Apparently these nasty antibiotic-resistant bugs can be ingested from meat and poultry and can live in the gut, ready to spring up and cause mayhem if the person needs surgery!

I've got towels etc all out on the line, I've topped-up the hanging bird feeders and I'm tired now. We both find we get tired a lot quicker and can't do what we'd like to do.

LOL Mrs Thrift - you'd think I'd remember a small thing like giving birth wouldnt you!!

It's my dad's favourite saying. That and 'Every day I'm forced to add another name to the list of people who really pee me off!'
