I am fine David, had the all clear from the hospital today after my op in Feb so feeling great.
Glad you are feeling good to. Is that why you haven't been on? I suppose we shouldn't worry really if we don't see people on here as it means we are not needed.

Dentist trip was fine, thank you for asking Twinkle.Sorry, I don't know your name.We only had to have our teeth polished,or is it de-scaled? No, that's what you do to a kettle,isn't it?Normally,the dentist does this himself, because I have to take anti biotics before he can really do this job properly, due to having open-heart surgery years ago.Nuisance, because it means two visits.This time his daughter did it, we were all in and out within about 17 minutes, so it wasn't a really thorough job.Lovely girl though.
Ann, what is a "rodent ulcer"? This is almost turning into an English lesson.lol
Mary, your work sounds very demanding and strenuous.Make sure you get enough R & R at home.

Eileen a rodent ulcer is a basal cell carcinoma. i.e. a type of tumour that doesn't spread and once removed is no problem. Mine, which I had had for some years was fairly big so the scar is quite big too. Rodent ulcers are as a result of sunburn at some stage, or are activated by sun. Mine started as a patch from biological washing powder in the 70s but stayed dormant for a while before the tumour formed. They are fairly slow growing but do grow and mine would have got bigger and I assume could have turned nasty if left.

Hi Carolina - very worrying for you but bear in mind that the vast majority of lumps are just that, lumps and nothing else. Just keep positive - no good saying don't worry, cos of course you will but try what I always do - usually works - expect the worst and hope for the best, it never turns out as bad as you imagined it would be!!! Also, if GP is waiting two weeks that surely is an excellent sign, if he thought it was the worst he'd have you whipped in immediately - think on that!!!

As for the court case hun, be strong, I know you have it in you to be strong, you can do it and you are very brave indeed to stand up for wht is right

My thoughts are with you for both these traumas honeybuns. I'm off the boards for just over a week now but will look in on my return to see how things are

All my love, Ann XXX

Morning all

I have 1st session of counselling today - not looking forward to the trip, if it gets too upsetting I will not have a 2nd session.

Take care all - be back this afternoon

Gill

thank you ann hun xxxxxx

love and hugs to all

thanks rach xx

love and hugs

Gill, hope the counselling helps you, good to se you post, have you changed your medication now?

Rach, so sorry you are not coping, it must be so hard for you and nothing we can say will make you feel better. Hope that counselling will help you.

Shaz, sorry you are not feeling well, hope you will be better soon.

Anne is it a holiday? If so have a lovely time and come back refreshed.

Carolina A stressful time for you. I know how you feel as I had a call back from my mammogram 8 years ago, I had not found a lump but they had spotted a very small one, had it aspirated and thankfully it was a cyst, but waiting to know was horrible. As anne said expect the worst and hope for the best news. and try not to worry too much (easier said than done I know). It must be very unpleasant to have to attend a court case where both sides involve family members so lots of ((((hugs)))) for you.

I agree with ann it's our imagination that scare's us the most but we must dare to dream in order to get out of our nightmares . carolina its hard to watch the one's you love go though bad thing's but by the sound of it they have each other to standby which is better than standing alone and we will be here for you! gill I hope your appointment went ok. it's abit like peeling an onion the more layer's the more you cry but it's worth it in the end I found the hardest bit was trusting the person I was taking to. hug's to all

Just back from the doctors had a lovely three quarters of an hour with a very nice lady who told me it is ok to feel like I feel and that I am suffering with severe depression but we have agreed that I will see the councellor and not have anti depressants it is such a relief to be told how I feel is normal and my blood pressure has gone down too

Can I ask if anyone has used LITHIUM or has any
experience of bipolar to pm me please x


Read up to date with you all.
Rach hope you get some peace of mind with your counselling. You must be finding it so hard. My cousin is the same as you. She still (she's 49) looks at babies. Feels hurt when friends have grandchildren and knows she will never have them.
Wish there was something I could say to help you.
There isn't really is there, but you know you have all of us here to talk to when you need to. PM me if you don't want it in the open but need to talk xx

Carolina pm'ed you. 90% are cysts so be positive xxx

Morning all, looking at a dark and dreary morning, there's nothing for it but the dreaded hous----k. The one dog is a bit nuts so I guess there's thunder in the air - when I feel migraine starting, she responds by barking at everything in sight, just what one needs with a headache. . Had a very good sleep for once and raring to go by 8:15am.

Carolina, we are in your corner, what a horrible situation to be in when it involves family. If your hubby believes what he is doing is right, tell him to hold his head high and go forward, with your support.

I panicked for 2 weeks over a lump and was relieved, but embarrassed when the report was that it was FAT. Seriously - thank goodness we have technology which can detect lumps at early, tiny stages, you are in good hands I am sure. You have come so far - you should be very proud of yourself, and I know the strong lady inside can get through this. We are here to support you.
Love and hugs
Mary

Thank you Carole for you kind words and support
love and hugs
