I see I haven't given you the good news


I went to see my GP on Wednesday .................... and the resident and the Clinic doctor (his supervisor) huddled over the pathology report, and then came to tell me that everything was now clear. They also said that I had made the right choice in deciding on the mastectomy, as there were also pre-cancerous cells in the ducts ..... in addition to the lobular one that we knew about.


It does seem though that I might be having a prophylactic course of radiation, as I got a phone call from the Cancer Agency on Tuesday telling me that I have an appointment with a radiation specialist on November 7.

Hopefully, I will find out more about that when I do eventually see the surgeon on October 31.


Physio went well on Thursday ............... I came home with some exercises to do, and appointments for twice weekly sessions with her for the next 4 weeks



It is a beautiful sunny day today .......... but it was about 3C at 8 am this morning! It's now about 13 or 14C in mid-afternoon.


Fall is definitely on the way!!



Take care everyone

Fall Sylvia? Please don't.......you may injure yourself :-)


Cor....Arthur is being spoilt......TWO of our good researchers on his case. Write it down and follow it through Arthur.........I just have to say it but......Fans and Sylvia are usually right in their findings. :-D


Not that I'm jealous of course! By the time I've found the right page to look at, they've got everybody's relationships worked out!! However, I do the sort of stuff they don't like. Not sure what it is but I do it anyway :-)



Hello Sally, nice to see you. Tell us a bit about yourself.


We spotted you Ven. Robert.....you put your head round the corner and waved! Lovely to see you and to know that you are having such good weather.


It's very grey and damp here today. Can't wait for April.



Hope Anne is having a good time in the Kent Archives and isn't buried under too much paperwork.


Must go.......early start to a busy day..........take care all. Cx.
:-D <3

Hi Everyone

Wow! the site has been busy of late,I see Arthur is getting a lot of info from the best,you are really lucky we don't usually do look ups on this thread.
Good luck to you Arthur.

We only got home a hour ago ,we thought seeing as we did so well with the painting we deserved a few days away in the big smoke ....it gave me a chance to catch up with my Dad,he is well sometimes I think he has more energy than me.

Josie nice to hear from you again ,I see on our TV the Australian and New Zealand teams are playing as we speak for the World Cup ...good Luck to both teams I don't get into Rugby much ,Aussie Rules is my game.

Sylvia so happy to hear you have the all clear....do not know much about Radiation ,my SIL had Cemo after her OP,is Radiation as invasive as Cemo.

Sally nice to hear from you again ,don't be a stranger,tell us what you have been up to.

Now our Robert who pops his head in every now and then,I am for one very happy you do as it give us another weather station abroad to check in with .....now if we can just get Frank back and maybe Wayno,we do need some males to help us with our Computer problems.

My Grandaughter is feeling a lot better now ,she has had terrible morning sickness so much so she had to go up to the local hospital a week ago.
They put her straight onto the drip she was so dehydrated and some better meds to help her keep her food down.

She is 3months now and getting over the first stage of the pregnancy,I can't wait to have another baby around the family and to be a Grt Grandmother for the first time .

Well I had better get unpacked and think about Dinner,it is hot today Perth had 29c but driving home today to where we live ...it is further South and much cooler.

Try to check in tonight.
Love to everyone <3

Suex :-D

Edit
Congratulations Josie.... New Zealand won handsomely

Fans

you posted the following on October 14th.


"What it boils down to is that "I believe"that William Quick 1831(ish) who dies in 1915? as William S Quick may be the same man as William S Quick born 1837(ish)?
They both have same birth place and Occupation and William Quick 1831(ish)does not want to be found on census prior to 1881(by me anyway)."

I found him on the 1841 Census - name wrongly transcribed as Emick, and on the 1851 Census - name wrongly transcribed as Quint. Cannot however find him on 1871 Census - and I have looked and used * etc but to no effect.

Well it has been busy here

Arthur - looks like you have a few things to get on with

Well done FBG & Sylvia - sorry i haven't had time to do anything - again it looks like the Surrey record office for info.

Arthur - where abouts in the country do you hail from?

Sylvia I am so pleased everything is working out for you - lets hope you don't need the extra treatment

Sally lovely to see you back again & Robert - i saw you pop in

Well the kent archives are going to see if they ahve anything for Dover Castle for you Evelyn - i have taken the day off next week -s o OH & I can spend extra time down there - hopefully it may have something of interest.

If I get the chance to have another day off in November i will go to the Surrey one for you as well - I am sure we need something on ours as well - to make the most of a days visit


Evelyn - you need to get Ron to see the brighter side - How i have no idea as i have a F in L whio is the same kind of person - thankfully without the same problem - we are all thinking of you.

Cynthia - I love the colour scheme - sounds like you are going to be busy - you need to make your OH think he suggested the idea of a new carpet - works nearly every time.

Sue nice to hear you ahd a good brak away

Well done the all blacks - routing for you Josie

Well I must go back to work - had a whole weekend off - its manic here.

take care all <3 ;-) <3 ;-) <3 ;-) <3

Tabitha

I live in earshot of Brandshatch.

SKY Box failed totally on Saturday so could not watch the rugby etc. Waiting for engineer to visit, but in the meantime doing Family History - have killed off quite a few today!
Have a will from 1908 where my great grandmother was a beneficiary- really useful for finding the married names of female ancestors.

Good evening one and all.... :-D


Sounds like you had a good time Sue and it's good that your dad is so well.


Anne, I guess you have had fun at the archives..........hopefully something for Evelyn may turn up soon.


Arthur, Fans has been away for the weekend, not sure when she is back. Hopefully either she or Sylvia will be able to answer your query.



OH had his flu injection today. We saw an ambulance arrive outside the doctor's and then found out it was the nurse's previous patient to OH!! Seems he was okay when he went in but I don't know what went wrong !


Just going to settle down to watch Only Connect and then Doc Martin. Good Monday night viewing... :-D


Take care and love to all. Cx

TV Engineer not visiting before Wednesday, so will do more fleshing out of Family Tree.

Hi Everyone

I have been trying for hours to get onto the site ,does anyone know if there is a problem with Genes and is anyone else having problems or is just me .

Cynthia I don't ge flu shots anymore ,everytime I did I got a very bad chest cold so I gave them away.
I went to my opthomoligest today he told me my Glucoma is now in the rang of presure it is supposed to be in so that is OK and next Feb he is doing my cateracts so I sjpuld be able to throw away ny Glasses that I have worm since I was 2 yrs old ....fantastic news for me as I am now 61.
What I would have given to not wear them when I was a young girl.

I used to love Doc Martin but I don't watch it anymore ...did he marry the girl who had his baby,I think we are all behind here in OZ.

We seem to be back to Winter after Perth had 35c on Sunday,rain tomorrow .

Sylvia I hope you are progressing nicely,my thoughts are with you.

Off to start Dinner.
Love to everyone <3

Suex :-D <3

Morning all - 6am very dark & a chill in the air

Managed to get 3 days early morning OT this week - it will help keep the wolf from the door in November - OH seems a bit happier as he seems to be busy this week - but he has two tests & 1 passed yesterday 1st time - surprise for both of them. So thats 2 lessons a week he has lost. £40 in money - not a lot but every little helps - fingers crossed he will get a new pupil to replace her.

Still really busy here - which is good considering the recession - which only seems to be hitting us in the middle - not those at the top of the tree - they are still spending - which keeps me in a job.

Well better go & do some work

Sue I had problems yesterday with GR too - added a post yesterday lunchtime - its not on here - so guess it vanished. Who knows what is going wrong witht eh internet at the moment - its very slow wherever you are.

Take care all - will pop by later ;-) <3 <3 <3 ;-)

Hi everyone,
Have got all inspired again and have started another bout of researching my Family Tree.
It Might have had something to do with the fact that I was able to get into the 1901 Census for free for 3 days on Ancestry and thought I would check out all my Lancashire Ancestors.
I ran out of time and so posted on the To Find Board and Sylvia and Jax kindly helped me out,
not only giving me the 1901Census record but the 1911 one plus some other info about one of my 2 x great aunts Families.

One of the Son's of this family was jailed in the early 1900's for his part in de- frauding A Building Society,
so I tried' Googling' to see If I could find out more about the Scandal and instead of finding more on this Skeleton have now discovered that his Father was in Wormwood Scrubs in 1881.
A cotton Manufacturer, he had knowingly been in receipt of stolen Goods and got a 5 year sentence. I then discovered that 10 years later his businesses where declared Bankrupt.
However by 1911 he was still a Cotton Mill owner and living in a palatial 11 room house with 2 servants and the Son who's skeleton I was trying to find out about and who was the manager of his Father's business.

Great family I have! on one side I have a Poor convict sent to Australia for stealing a Turkey and on the other side Rich Mill owners involved in Fraud.
:-(

Though I suppose it's a lot more interesting having ancestors who made the 'Papers' than having a lot of 'Ag Labs' in my tree.

Well finnished my Cup of tea, must go and make OH some Dinner.
Catch you all later Josie :-) :-) :-) <3 <3 <3

Hi Everyone

Anne I am glad I was not the only one then I did get in touch with Genes but they said the site was fine so I have been having a good clean out today with CCclean and defragging that seems to have made a dif.

I also deleted my Genes form my Favorites and re added it again ,it is working good at the moment I hope it stays that way.

I keep popping into Evelyns thread but I don't seem to help much it looks like everyone has covered all areas to me ,I was wondering maybe Diane was fond of Leslie as that was her birth surname and not Macleod.

Is any of Dianes brothers or sister still alive I wonder.

Josie you can always post on here if you have a question you want answered ,,Arthur has done well from FBG,I am sure no one would mind .

I am of to start Dinner ,very relieved I can now get back on this site ....started to worry for a while there.

Overcast today and cool,enjoying it before the hot weather gets here.

Love to everyone.
<3 <3 <3

Suex :-D

hello
thankyou for asking cynthia

well to start with please excuse my spelling and tyeping use one finger i was born in london i haved lived in lincs since 1982 when i was young i worked in bond street as a dressmaker

iam now partaily sited and disabled

as well as family history i like listenig to talking books and playinga game calle bookworm at the same time

hat about sums me up

weather today has been very sunny but cold wind


my best to you all and thanks

sally w :-D

Morningall 6am again - very dark outside & cold this morning - no frost yet in the southern part of the country.

Welcome Sally - please join us - you don't have to be a bit barmy to join us - but if you are it helps :-P ;-)

We are a happy little group on the whole - we do have our moments but we are all there for each other when needed & we all care deeply about each other.

We even send out search parties when someone goes AWOL. We are better than search & rescue on the TV.

Bookworm sounds an interesting game - you must tell us about it some time when you are up to the typing.

Been so busy reading Evelyn's thread narly forgot to log in the phones - we should make it into a novel - if we ever get tot the end of it.

Happily munching my way through a large bag of popcorn (my breakfast didn't fancy anything else when I got up at 4 this morning) didn't fancy dinner last night either.

Had my flu jab last thusday - my arm has just stopped aching - i think she must have found an extra sensitive muscle.

Not a lot happening here - still busy - still looking for overtime hours - still looking for a fairy godmother/father to wave a magic wand over us or a wishing fairy - not even a tenner on the lotto at the weekend. keep hoping something will turn up - a flickering of light at the end of the tunnel etc etc. deep sigh

Josie - sounds an interesting tree - wonder how he still kept the house if he went bankrupt - very strange. I know on my OGH tree two of his ancestors sailed over to NZ to try their luck & set up a Fruit tree nursery - which was very profitable as they employed the local maori's 7 gave them a share of the profits if they worked hard - which they did.

OH would love to visit NZ & pop over to see if there is any remains left of the original Nursery. I think its a long way from where you live - its a place called Wanganui . Big dream of his to visit some day.

Well i had better get some work done while its quiet - in theory i have tomorrow off - but offered 3 hours OT first thing - so will pop in the office & then meet up with OH - its his Babies first MOT - he is worried about how it will go - Bit like a childs first day at school.

Working for a few hours Saturday & Sunday & monday off - so hope to pop in some time - also hope to get a bit of family tree work done - its taken a bit of a back seat at the moment .

Well see you all later - Take care all <3 <3 <3 <3

Hi Everyone


Sally I see you live in Lincolnshire,I am trying to find the address of my OH's father .
I know before they left the uk in 1926 they lived in a house called Kennor in Healing Linc that is all I know .
Can you get into any Electoral rolls for that area.
Names of Arthur French and Nellie French,all I need is an address for that family in 1926 .
Thought I might try Arthur's trick.

Sally I also type One handed so don't excuse your self there are a lot of us our age all do the same don't we girls.

I get my cataract's done in February ,right eye Feb 20th left eye Mar 19th....I can't wait ,it will be the first time since I was two that I have not worn Glasses,I am now 61 so you can see how much money I have spent on Specks.

Sylvia I hope you are doing well we are all thinking of you ,I hope your physio is not making you work to hard.

I am off for a ride on my bike ,nice and sunny today and rain tomorrow.

Suex <3

Hi all
xxx


I think our lovely "Indian Summer" type of weather is coming to an end. It rained hard on Wednesday night, and rain is forecast for Friday.


Sue .............. she isn't making me work hard, but she is certainly working hard massaging all around where the scar is ................. and that can make me sore by the time the 30 minutes is over!!


However, I am getting more mobility back as she loosens up the scar tissue.



so I guess it is worth it!




Nice to see you Sally.

I was born in Lancashire, but left the UK in 1967, and have lived in canada since 1968.



Josie ...... I'd love some more interesting ancestors than Ag Labs and Lace Makers :-D


OH allegedly has someone who was murdered on his way home from Kendal Market after selling a cow there ..... allegedy for the money.


Problem is ......... I can't find anyone who has died prematurely, and not in his own bed!

Good morning all - sorry I have been a bit neglectful but most of you know that I am on and off Evelyn's thread in the hoping of keeping it up to date! My word, that Diane was a one!!

We have just embarked on a new Scottish search and could do with Frank for some advice.........sigh........:-(


Hello Sally, I love audio books and have a large collection of them. I use them when I am ironing. It's very enjoyable to zoom away with the iron whilst listening to a good old murder!




Ag labs????? Sick of them I am. And lace makers. And chairmakers. I would love someone with an interesting occupation to crop up. Quite a lot of military on one side but nothing really int-er-est-ing. :-D


Sue.......re Doc Martin......I won't tell you in case it comes back out there but it is enjoyable... :-D


This site has been having problems for quite a while now. Lots of complaints on the Suggestions board and also there were quite a few on FB. They always seem to be tinkering with things.



Anne....hope you get more than a glimmer of light at the end of that dark tunnel.........how about a searchlight???? :-D :-D



Arthur......I wouldn't miss the tv terribly much - except that it keeps my OH happy! I play around on the computer more than I watch telly. You say you live near Brands Hatch.......I am sure I had a gt. aunt who lived near there too......the words 'Kit's Cotty' come to mind. Does that ring any bells?



Well, it's Friday and I don't do that much on a Friday usually......may be able to get some 'bitty' things done.....you know the sort.......the things you keep putting off......



Love to all. Cx.

Thanks Cynthis - think I need more thatn that to get tot he end of the tunnel & the train to go with it.

Pottering around at home - feeling the cold :-(
Could say something else but won't

Enjoy not doing much Cynthia

Sylvia - keep up the good work - get that scar tissue moving

Arthur I pass the Bands Hatch sign on the Motorway every month - will start waving now - on our way to Thorpe Bay & back home.

Off for a potter around

Take care all <3 <3 <3 <3
