What A Busy Few Days

[debris4spike]

I had to be MIA as Dad's pc had died on Friday ... but then as the rest of the day progressed, and the following day things got even worse!

So ... here goes for a quick catch-up ... lots, briefly!

• Went back to my doctor as I am still tired and coughing.  I have had x-rays, and have blood tests and lung function tests booked for Monday week.


• Got back to Mum & Dad's to see that Dad's scar on his cheek was bigger than predicted ... he had a mole taken away last week, and the scar across his cheek is over an inch long. .... Although by now the scar is a bit easier as he has been living normal life.


• Had a phone call from Claire (Tim's wife) on Saturday morning.  New Year's Day she was OK ... she heard on Friday she needed a mastectomy!  She had a small lump and saw her doc, went to the hospital and had a mammogram ... only to find the lump is OK, but that she had a "silent" cancer in the breast.  So, to say it was a shock, was an understatement.

So in the midst of Claire's news things got a bit lost ... so need to catch up with you all ... and with previous comments.

Hope you had a great weekend ...



And, belated Happy Birthday slaymesoftly ... I hope that you had a great day.

Oh poor Claire! Sending good wishes that all goes well for her

And I hope that your tests find out what's going on so that you can get well too

Thanks Deb ... Because of your earlier post I had hoped you missed this one ... I pray your answers are better.

Good to know that my GP is going to check things out - although I don't think they will find any answers.

I hope so too but whatever, the earlier you catch it the better the outcome.

I will hold Claire and your family in my thoughts

Oh my goodness! Would you like me to put her on our prayer list at church?

[debris4spike]

Thank you so much ... and yes, please, that would be lovely.

I'm so sorry to read the news about Claire. I wish her all the best.

[debris4spike]

Thank you very much.

I hope everything turns out alright for Claire and am so glad they found the cancer. I'll pray for her. (And say, yet again, how I wish we had your National Health!)

[debris4spike]

Thank you, so much.

Yes, we are so fortunate to have the NHS ... I hope I never take it for granted.

How sweet of you to worry about my birthday with all that stuff going on! Crossing my fingers for you and your family and hoping to here updates with good news soon.

[debris4spike]

Hope everything is well with Claire. My thoughts and best wishes are with you and your family.

[debris4spike]

Thank you so much Debi - I know that you can understand what we are coping with. Hoping all is going well with J now.

Oh, poor Claire. I hope her op and treatment go well (I've never heard of a silent cancer) - what a shock for her and you all.

And I hope your dad's scar heals up soon, and that the tests help to get rid of your cough and tiredness.

Sending love and good thoughts to you all *hugs*

Thanks Carolyn ... she has got some calcified milk ducts (which give no symptoms) ... and they have become cancerous ... doubly rare.

My cough just lingers, doesn't it? Still, at least the tests will confirm that there is nothing else going on.

*hugs*

Oh my. *sends get well wishes all around*
*hugs* (because hugs can never be wrong)

[debris4spike]

Thank you so much ... the hugs are great.
