My Little Drummer Boys: A Big Internet Hug and Long talks

A Big Internet Hug and Long talks

I can't begin to thank you enough , yes, all of you.

There aren't enough words to describe how buoyed I feel by messages of support , prayers / positive vibes, karma and family & friends offering to help.

My day started badly with a friend who , without any malicious intent, shattered my today is going to a better day ...

I know a FEW NEGATIVE words can cancel a thousand hopeful ones.

I can write it here , because she doesn't read my blog. She sounded upset and asked me a question which I answered (she is a breast cancer survivor herself of 10 yrs or so) and said something negative.

I told her to I didn't want to hear negativity , she said it again - I cut the call short , right then and there. I said "I have to take the kids to school". I ended the call abruptly.

Well I did ...have to take the boys to school.

Afterwards, I went to the gym for a paddle in the Hydrotherapy pool and a short burst on the stationary bike and treadmill . The pool is like a warm bath and relaxing. Exercise helps apparently.

Yesterday, I went for a long ~~talk~~ walk with my friend Lea , before I officially knew my ultrasound and mammogram results. I said nothing as I only had suspicions.

This morning , I messaged my Lea . Lea is a twin mum my age , with twin boys the same age as my boys. I've only known her 4-5 months , she said to come over. She gave me a big hug and she listened . She didn't ask those awkward questions. Lea gets it. Just what I needed.

Another amazing friend, Mel sent me a message , that her friend MM has been through breast cancer, MM's sister too. I started to read MM's blog.

MM messaged me and offered to talk to me . Within a minute of messaging my phone number to MM, she called me. She is the kindest lady, who gave me over 1hr of her time, gently answering some vexing questions. She eased my fears.

My head is in a better place because of all of you. Sending peace, light & love and thank you (s) to you all.

I love that first photo and quote ..... although it must not be easy for you to be thankful for the possibility that this may be a 'bad thing', but I am encouraged beyond words that you can even approach it from this angle!! You're an inspiration, Trish. I am still praying for you all.

Whilst I've never directly had breast cancer, having had a child with it I've been privy to some of those feelings over the years.
I can only send my deepest wishes for everything to be sorted for you. Fast. And for you to have the positivity you always need. xxXOoo

Trish, thanks for your kind words. I am more than happy to help, and thrilled that anything I said may have helped you. If I didn't say it this afternoon... you're absolutely correct... POSITIVITY is KEY!!!!

Remember to be kind to yourself, and let your support group be kind to you. You don't have to (and shouldn't) try to do this alone... actually, I don't think you'll be allowed to :)

Hi Trish, I've been thinking of you. I read your post the other night, but didn't leave a comment as I didn't know what to say. I still don't know what to say, but I also know that its better to say something than nothing.. if that even makes scene. You are very much in my thoughts, sending love your way.
