Hello all,

Just a quick update as I have had so many beautiful messages of support and I have the time to do this today.

I have had a nasty headache since last Tuesday, I do suffer from these, usually either sinus or tension related...this time probably both. I could barely walk last week due to back/neck pain, so I knew I needed some relief of some sort rather than just meds. I booked in a massage and finally had it today. I feel better as far as the pain goes but a bit nauseas now as my lymphatic system is sluggish and I had a lot of fluid retention build up which she worked on....so drinking lots of water and as quiet a day that I can manage.

Still more work from me re my boy's NDIS plan review but we are closer to getting there. I don't think my anxiety will settle until we have the conclusion around their decision. (A couple of weeks)

I did see my pdoc yesterday and most of what I had to report was positive. She said "I have been busy and worked hard" 🙂

Tomorrow I have a gp appointment for a lump I found, I have been neglectful in checking so being in here has reminded me to do so. (Thank you x ) Hopefully it is just beginners lack of skill and it is nothing but I'll still go just to be sure.

Dad's finished his second round of chemo for now, scan is end of November and then we learn the outcome. His Dr believes it should be a good one.

My boy's support worker just turned up and they are going to put the Christmas tree up, I am actually a little excited and don't even care that it's not December yet. This year needs to be smacked in the face so waiting for December to come is not happening. Plus I am grateful as I usually do it on my own so it's kinda nice that he wants to.

Need to go, work is calling. Sending love and light to all of you xox

Update...

Well I'm glad I went to the Dr. Sadly not my imagination. Booked in for a mammogram, ultrasound and possible biopsy on the 1st.

Just want to thank @Emelia8 for making me diligent for the first time in my life xxx love you 💞

Tagging just to keep those that I feel would want to know in the loop. I'm not freaking out, no point. So no need for replies. XxxX

Thinking of you today re your GP appointment @Anastasia . So glad you are getting it checked out. The likelihood is that its nothing to worry about ... but you wont know that unless you get it checked. Sending love your way.

Emelia 💝🌟🌺😊🌷

@Anastasia 😔💜🧡💛

In response to your edit today to your post of yesterday.

Well, I was told that for anyone who got a call back for a suspicious mammogram ... less than 1 in 10 will end up being cancer. So your odds are good that it is something benign. I gather that you havent had a mammogram before, or recently? I've had one every 2 years since I was 51, so they had previous scans to compare for me.

Its very possible that once you have the mammogram, they will be able to rule out anything sinister, and you wont need further testing. But if thats not the case, they will do the ultrasound for a closer look. If they are still unable to rule out the bad stuff ... you will move on to a biopsy. Fingers crossed they can eliminate cancer with the mammogram and you wont need to have the rest. Allow plenty of time at the testing clinic though ... just in case. I was told to allow 2-4 hours, and ended up being there more like 5 hours. But I had the full gammit of tests, hopefully you wont need that.

I'm trusting that you are one of the 9 (out of every 10) who will be cleared. Put it this way ... I'm the 1 in 10 to have cancer ... that means you'll be fine. 😊💞

Thank you for updating us. It is very natural to worry, so its good you arent freaking out. As you say ... there really is no point. And hopefully for you ... there is also no need to.

If my recent experience has jolted you into getting checked out ... then I am happy and my job is done.

Love you too Myboy. 💓🤗

Emelia 🌸
