WTF 2020

Good evening everyone...I really thought 2020 was going to be my year! Anyone else? First the fires...floods...then I thought I was having a heart attack which turned out to be Takotsubo cardiomyopathy..say what! Then COVID-19...millions lose their job...and thousands lose their lives 😢...isolation and now they found a lesion on my skull and I had a MRI this week...to say I’m not worried is a big fat lie...and yes Dr Google has not been my friend...I’m just waiting to be told when I’m seeing the neurologist. If it is malignant what should I expect, I know every cancer is different but I’m thinking the worse...can anyone help with some positive stories please xx
  • I do have a friend with a lesion on the front part of the brain. It is monitored annually and there's no change and is benign. 
    Pleased to hear your cardiomyopathy is under control. 
    Best wishes for your appointment with the Neurologist.  That's one of the specialist I have picked up since BC.
    On a lighter note supplies are improving here at home!  Hope you are able to find comfort food to get you through!
    Take care
  • Oh fucksticks. Can't help with the lesion, but...***struggling to find something positive to say*** my water tank is full (but smoke tainted) and The Hound is living her best life since I'm home all day. She expresses her pleasure by following me around farting.
    Seriously though, what a shit thing. Mxx

  • I can't help with info about the lesion but keeping my fingers crossed for you - I do hope it is benign.  2020 has been a nightmare from start to...oh yes, quarter of the way through...  
  • @iserbrown thank you...yes I recently had my echo and cardiomyopathy has improved xx
  • Deep breaths!  2020 is challenging for all but for you more challenging than most. I hope your lesion is benign. Has your cardiomyopathy settled?
    Take care
