WHY?
One of my dearest friends is getting the results of her biopsy today... she MIGHT be OK, or she MIGHT have bowel cancer.... but won't know till this morning some time.... I have my fingers crossed for her.
My Mum had bowel cancer in 2000, it was awful for her, but luckily she is in remission now.... they can never give you the 'You are Cured' speech, but after 8 years she's doing so well!
Not sure what else is on the agenda today.... but it is going to be nerve wracking till I get that phone call from my girlfriend! Till then... maybe some housework?
I wish it was this simple... cos I would opt for the safe option.... *sigh*.... till later....
While walking the kids to school this morning.. who should I see running down the street towards me .....
Lynise! (she's the tart with the hat on).... so we had a lovely chat on the side of the road..... it is so lovely to run into a friend! And it helped pass some time before I had to go home and nervously wait for the phone to ring! Poor Joel didn't think much of having to stand around while his Grandma yakked! He's taken himself off to bed now... poor little bugger is tired - must be the pox taking it out of him.
DAMN....IT IS BAD NEWS. She has cancer....operation is in early/mid December. I feel sick for her.... but hopeful that they can fix her just like my Mum.
Just got home from the Doctor's... I was concerned about Joel's pox.... some of them looked infected... AND THEY ARE... so now he's on antibiotics to help him get better. Glad I took him.
The lovely Lynise called in this afternoon for a coffee, which was so nice.
I am feeling very sad and 'flat' this afternoon though.. I'm sure because I am so worried about my girlfriend and what she must be going through/feeling right now. I wish I was with her, if only to give her a hug.
End of Day: has been.... sad, but I am choosing to be positive. nite nite.
Oh, my, I sure hope your friend is ok!!! I also hope she has a lot of support, bless her!
ReplyDeleteHEYYY!! Just noticed your top commenter widget! You mean I'm in the top 3??! I feel like I just met ya! Time flies, or something.
ReplyDeleteCome to think, have I known you long? Not that long?
Hope your friend results are positive.
ReplyDeleteOh and wanted to say that cake looked so bloody nice and if I had had it here, I would have had the lot.... I am so craving junk food right now thanks to TOM!!!!!!
ReplyDeletehugs and a prayer for your friend!
ReplyDeleteI'll say a little prayer for your friend.
ReplyDeleteI mean in the previous comment about the results being positive I meant that to mean that I hope she gets a good result... :-)
ReplyDeleteI also hope your friend is OK and her results come back negative to bowl cancer.
ReplyDeleteI understand how she is feeling right now. I have a few more days to wait till I get my biopsy results back and also wish that they are negative...
I am praying for your friend, you remind me of when Megan had the chicken pox and wagging her through Houston, she had the best time, but got a lot of funny looks.
ReplyDeleteHope your friend doesn't have the big C ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteI hope you friend has a quick recovery and everything will end up fine!
ReplyDeleteOh, I am so sorry. Praying for quick recovery for your friend.
ReplyDeleteoh thats terrible news, I think the one blessing (when going through difficult times) is to have good friends.
ReplyDeleteI hate to think how tough life would be if we couldn't share our tough times with those who care about us, so thankfully even though the news is awful, just having your friendship (as she battles to get better) will be a help.
Have you got time for a coffee around 2pm ish. I have looked up CP on the net and an fairly certain I must have had them as I have had shingles which I've learned is something 20% of people get at some stage in their life AFTER chicken pox. (its a similar virus)
So I should be all A, O. K.
actually, make that 1.30pm so we have time for a coffee and chat before you need to head off to school and me back to Tga.
ReplyDeleteI still owe you a lovely lunch out somewhere, but know you have Joel and this is flying visit up and home again, but I will be back early Dec so we will DEFINITELY do lunch then.
Sorry to hear about your friend. I am sending positive vibes her way.
ReplyDeleteOh Chris! I am so sorry about your friend! I will be praying for the best outcome!
ReplyDeleteI can see you are a good friend.
ohhhh... sorry it's bad news.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your friend. My friend had this a few years back and he is fine now - hopefully she will be one of the lucky ones :)
ReplyDeleteOh and my shakes and "Celebrity Slim" and are absolutely delicious.
Sorry about the new on your friend, it must be a gutting feeling.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Griffin for yesterday as well, I was salivating over the cake
Sorry about your friend's news. Wishing her lots of luck for a fast recovery.
ReplyDeleteWrong, housework can kill. I hope everything works out for your friend.
ReplyDeleteOh such sad news for your friend. Prayers for her and her family and YOU!
ReplyDeleteCan you believe my mom brought me caffine free diet PEPSI!?!?! OMG going to have to have a talk with that woman. (although I'm still happy she brought me something with bubbles)
I am sorry to hear about your friend, Chris....I am sure the treatment will work for her. Must be one of those days.....I feel all sad cause my aunty died this morning!! Bloody hell....life goes on doesn't it!?
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so sorry to read that it's bad news. I hope your friend will keep a positive attitude, it really can make a difference. My Mom is a 22 year cancer survivor and a heck of a fighter. I hope your friend is too. Warmest wishes.
ReplyDeleteOh Chris, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. {{{HUGZ}}} Much love to you, her and her loved ones.

ReplyDeleteOh Chris my stomach lurched when O read the bad news. That is terrible. I hope it all works out ok for her. I am sending all my loe to you guys.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the others that one of the most important things for your friend is the support and love from her friends.
ReplyDeleteDuring her recovery she need them for strength - both physically and mantally.
We will all have to pray for your friend. I am sorry that you are feeling down but positive thinking always helps! It will help your friend too if you are positive!
ReplyDeleteYou are a great Grandma - taking Joel to the doctor! Kudos to you!
I am so sorry to hear that the new was bad and I hope they can remove it all via surgery.
