Hi everyone,
as you may have noticed im not here much these days but i do pop on now and again to look and sometimes the odd comment,
Firstly it was because i find i cant type as long now with my tendon probs but i can live with that.
More recently i had to undergo a test and expected it all to be ok as i didnt feel ill,
Not the case, i had cancer growth removed from my bladder and some chemo treatment which hopefully was a one off,
Anyway i dont feel ill im just having a bad time comming to terms with it after 13 years since last cancer, it was a shock.
Results for the growth and CT scan i had yesterday will be in about 2 weeks, hopfully before xmas.
Anyway i want to thank friends who have already sent me cards for xmas and also appoligise for not sending cards back, im not being tight lol or unfriendly, i just cant deal with christmas and everything that goes with it apart from looking forward to my joe comming home next sunday.
so i wish you all from the bottom of my heart a wonderfull christmas and newyear with all your friends, family and pets, and anyone who may not been up to form themselves may you have better 2013.
I will be back to peep at blogs etc but sorry if i miss anyone when commenting.


Keep well and have fun,
love
sandra and casper

Bless your heart Sandra, I have wondered where you were, thought perhaps you`d got gremlins with your setup as there seem to be a lot of probs going around lately, I`m sorry to hear what you`ve been going through and I hope all goes well with your results, I`m pleased to see you are back at your art class, as you say it helps easing the mind away from the bad things.

Hi everyone,
im overwelmed with all the beautifull msg`s from all my GOYer mates, it means so much to me to have read them even though it made me cry lol,
It shows even though we all only know eachother through pictures and words(except the lucky ones who get to meet) that friendship can be made this way, we get to know about eachother and share happy and sad feelings,
each one of you has brought some happiness to me over the last few years with help answering garden questions, gifts for me garden which i try to keep alive and the laughs we all share on GOY.
i have my appointment through for 27th, so i will enjoy spending xmas with joe, and Baz, also my step children and granchildren, also will spend time with my troubled son johnny who i love dearly.
so eat drink and be merry all of you and dont worry about the pounds we will put on haha

Joe arrived home and thats made my day, lovely having him here for xmas.

16 Dec, 2012

 

Hi Goy friends,
just to update that i will be going to have a further 6 sessions of chemo into my bladder starting 28th, one each week, not looking forward to this but being high risk with cancer they feel i must have this to help reacuring tumours and regular cystoscopys one after treatment and then on when consultant recomends, maybe yearly not sure.
A bit of a shock but iv got to get through it one way or another.
take care friends xxx

19 Dec, 2012

 

Thanks for letting us know,San..and sorry you have to have more Chemo,but like you say,it has to be done to protect your health..You WILL get through it,as you have done before..stay strong,and positive..and have a wonderful Christmas with your family,and look forward to better health in 2013 :o)) xx

19 Dec, 2012

 

Dear San, sending loving wishes to you to keep strong, get through Christmas, have some fun and then go for it, you will be in all our thoughts, roll on spring, when it will warm up and we can see the first flowers of hope poking through. xxx

20 Dec, 2012

 

Sandra me love, I know you'll bravely go through with the chemo as you know it will help keep you healthy. An older friend of my sons has had injections of chemo into his bladder and he said it didn't cause too much of a problem for him though obviously not pleasant. He's fine now by the way. I'm sure we'll all be thinking of you on the 28th. Enjoy your lovely family this Christmas, next year is bound to be kinder to you. Do let us know how you are when you feel up to it. x

20 Dec, 2012

 

thankyou sandra, Grandmage and BA for you kindness,
iv been given something by my Doctor to help relax me for treatments and like you said BA isnt a pleasant thing to have done.
hoping to change the day from fridays to wednesdays so i can carry on with work thursday and friday, i want things to carry on as normal if possible.
Happy christmas and see you all soon feeling better i hope.
love
sandra xxx

22 Dec, 2012

 

Just don't get too tired San, rest in between treatments and work if you can, great idea. Happy Christmas. x :)

22 Dec, 2012

 

Hi Sandra ..
we've exchanged messages, so just to add, have a lovely Christmas and I hope your treatments go very well and you're soon fully fit again. xxx

22 Dec, 2012

 

thanx Grandmage will do, merry xmas xxx

Hi Terra, thankyou for all your support, Merry Christmas to you and the boys xxx

22 Dec, 2012

 

Got my CT scan results and all clear for my kidneys and liver, so 6 chemo treatments start 9th jan then cysoscopys every 3/4 months till they feel im ok, then every year or so.

Need to get myself fit for next years gardening now lol xxx

27 Dec, 2012

 

That's really good news Sandra, so pleased for you. Thanks for letting us know. How was your Christmas?:-) x

27 Dec, 2012

27 Dec, 2012

 

I am so pleased for you,San..that's the best Christmas present you could wish to have...and for the New year ahead...get the Chemo over and done with,and it will be spring before you know it..sending you a virtual big hug :o) xxxx

27 Dec, 2012

 

Bless you San. what brilliant news, that should give you the strength to get through your chemo. enjoy the peace and quiet now and enjoy the things you love to do. xxx

28 Dec, 2012

 

Hi San, I haven't been on here much either, so I missed this somehow. So sorry you have been having all these problems, and hope you will start to feel better now. I shall be thinking of you. Keep smiling.

28 Dec, 2012

 

So glad you have had good news, Sanbaz. 2013 is looking brighter already, I hope it will bring you much more happiness, you deserve it.

29 Dec, 2012

 

thankyou so much sandra,, Grandmage,, Xela :o))) xxx

Nice to see you back cinders and thanx for you kind words to :o)) xx
hope you all have a happy newyear xx

29 Dec, 2012

 

Good to hear that scan results came back ok. The chemo will take it out of you physically & not be pleasant, but working towards a satisfying outcome. I have a brother who was diagnosed with prostate cancer several months ago ...the same week his wife broke up the marriage, so he was in a mess emotionally. He's now living with a niece of ours & has been on hormone treatment for four months ...says he has mood swings & gets all emotional & now knows how women feel! He will start having radiation therapy early February. Sandra, Happy New Year from NZ

30 Dec, 2012

 

thankyou so much Dwyllis and so sorry about your brother, awfull enough having cancer and the treatment without everything else, poor man, do hope life deals him something better next year.
i had radiation theropy last time and chemo which made me feel so ill but this time its direct into bladder and no bad side effects unlike it going into veins.
take care and hope your brother makes a full recovery xx

30 Dec, 2012

 

Hiya Sandra, so pleased for you, the results are ace and such a relief for you, it doesn`t matter how many times you have to be checked out does it, now its onwards and upwards again, take care, the chemo sessions will soon be behind you and you`ll be out there with the rest of us tweaking and changing, looking for the new shoots and delighting when you see them.
I`m ever hopeful Sandra and hope the sun shines on us all, Happy New Year to you and yours XX...

31 Dec, 2012

 

Hi Sue and thankyou so much, i keep popping out to see whats happening in the garden but far to boggy to even tread on the lawn, we even have lots of awfull bog type grass in the lawn probably with all the rain last year even in summer.
