Hey @Yellow_Daffodil I can relate. I have a degree in the pity party when they are on. I host and I am the only one at them. Yes I can eat but not sweets as much as savoury things. Then I like to have a glass of wine or 2 and tell myself aint it awful what happened to me. I can indulge this for a day and that's ok. But that's all I allow myself as I don't want to stay in that place as it doesn't feel good.
Instead I put my big girl pants on and be grateful for every thing I can be.
I am going to be 60 this year. I swear I have 9 lives and have used about 6 brushes with death already. I actually thought I was lucky to make it to 30 and then health issues started for me
I have had 5 malignant cancers including bc and been treated for them all. I also had a super bug at 40 which put me in icu for 15 days and another 5 weeks in hospital. None of them have killed me.
I feel grateful to be alive and with my husband Colin who I only met when I was 47. I am grateful too for my son, his wife and my little grandson.
My 50s were plagued with health issues, 4 surgeries including bc. Colin had just met me and then has nursed me through all my health stuff. I am not perfect but I am cancer free and here to enjoy new years eve.
We are going out for dinner to a little local restaurant. Never done that before so looking forward to it. I am going to celebrate being here and making it to my 60th year.
I hope 2022 is a better year for all. I hope covid dies, all breast cancer will be treatable and cured and I hope there is peace of mind for all.
