@FLClover Pampering would be fabulous. Does it count if you do it yourself?!
Yeah I was impressed he found and immediately reported a lump. I've delivered the message so often, it's good to know it's sunk in!
Thank you @JanineG. I don't know about amazing. You just have to put one foot in front of another but I can tell you my stress levels have been higher than they have been for a long time.
It does get too hard sometimes @Sister. I feel that regularly. But I'm too sensible and responsible to do anything permanent. We just have to keep plugging away. I don't hope for anything better anymore. Maybe just quieter and calmer one day.
@arpie No mammograms on foobs, no breast tissue. Ultrasounds only if warranted.
@ddon I can tell you my heart straight out broke when my then 11yo niece (who I'm raising) came to me thinking she had breast cancer because she could feel lumps in her chest. They were her breast buds. When I was 11 only one person in my life had died, one of my grandfathers when I was four. I hate that my children's lives are full of cancer and death. I haven't told them they may have a genetic mutation, that their grandfather has metastatic prostate cancer. I just can't. It's unbearable.
@Afraser Yes, trips to the supermarket are the extent of all Melbournian's outings these days. Sometimes I just sit in my car just for something different. I'm glad your family are all well, but terribly sorry that your colleague has died. My condolences. Just so terribly sad.
Yes @iserbrown, the shitshow just keeps rolling along. Thank you for the virtual hug. I hope you're staying safe and warm this chilly weekend.
@Leia The highlight of my weekend so far:
Cleared out a kitchen cupboard today. At least I achieved something productive!
@Caz1 Might have a bath tomorrow. I am in SO much Letrozole pain at the moment it is insane... Will we ever meet irl?!
2020, another year down the drain...
Stay well everyone. K xox
