Dear Sylvia I hope things will continue to go well. How wise to have opted for the mastectomy.
Wishing a gentle recovery and that you can and will remain so wonderfully positive.
Hugs
Mary <3

Sylvia, I am so pleased things have gone so well for you thus far and hope you will indeed need no radiation or other treatments now. You made a brave decision and I can only admire you for it. I watched a programme on tv recently where a mother and daughter had both breasts removed as there was a genetic link to breast cancer, so many women in their family had suffered previously so they decided to lessen all risks by having mastectomies before anything developed. They were so incredibly positive and you have been the same. Hope the medication can help with the spinal problems so you can be mobile and painfree with no other worries hanging over you now.

Take care and treat yourself very gently and kindly as you continue your recovery

love

Hello Sylvia,
I am so pleased that things are getting better for you.It does pay to be positive.I think the state of mind can affect your health.
Thinking of you.

I am slowly getting things sorted.....as well as getting things ready to go to OZ in Dec for 3 months to help son and grandchildren over the long summer holiday.It will be good for them and for me.My son says they need some "mothering".He copes very well since his wife died,but I'm looking forward to doing some"girlie" things with my granddaughter who is only 10 and my grandson who starts at a new school in Feb.

Thank you for thinking of me!

So pleased for you Sylvia and well done for staying so positive. I hope all goes well with the radiation guy.

Brenda, you too have remained positive through very sad times. I hope that you thoroughly enjoy your break in Oz and that the Grandchildren gain much benefit from you being there, and also your son.

Hi sylvia,
Just looking in to see how things are going.My very best friend had a mastectomy 25 years ago and she is now 75 and a very active person who is always helping others.She is always so positive.
I think that positive people are attracted to one another.It doesn't mean we are insensitive to others,but just get on with whatever we have to do and always there to listen.

I am not intending to move to OZ,I have an even larger family here and do like where I live.My son is hoping to come for a holiday here in July,so it may not seem as bad when I leave.It's over 3 years since I've seen them,but we talk every week.

Sylvia, I know I've already said on Mo's thread, I'm so very pleased about your wonderful news and am hoping that you won't need to have any radiation. You have been so brave and positive throughout, I really admire you. Good luck.


Brenda, I was very sorry to hear about your hubby. It's nice to know that your son and grandchildren want and need you with them. Enjoy your three months stay with them.....it will also be nice for you to miss our British winter.
Take care and have a good journey out to OZ.



Love, Sallie.xx
