My lump was found in late Oct/early Nov & not confirmed as cancer until Jan 5th & was lucky to have my surgery 10 days after that - so I know all about the waiting! :( ILC is usually slow growing ..... so shouldn't spread in that time. xx
I lead our local Uke Group, @annajjj - and it was with their support and humour (and family & friends & then this forum) that helped me get thru my active treatment and afterwards too. You'd be a 'natural' to join a uke group!! Most towns & cities have Uke Groups - check them out! :). We have a few uke players here, too!
I am in a total time warp re music - I don't recognise anything much after the mid 80s either ....... I just love anything from the 20/30s onward to the mid 80s! ;)
Just turn that music up LOUD & enjoy!! Make sure you take your ipod/music supply with you to the hospital too as you'll get sick of any piped music (and make sure you take all the necessary chargers for them & your phone - AND take them home again ...) Hospitals are noisy, brightly lit places - so take ear plugs & eye masks to wear at night too!! ;) Magazines and puzzle books are better to take if you like reading too - as it is hard to concentrate on a novel with all the constant interruptions! Take your favourite coffee/tea too, cos theirs usually SUCK! LOL
