UMV90 - A longer wait and a boob check
Рет қаралды 12,194
3 ай бұрынI've been in a bit of a funk all week after aving my appointment cancelled last Tuesday. I understand why but the overthinking has been out in force with the nuances of wording used in the phone calls.
It's also been a strange week of a run of early shifts, Payroll year end and a visit to a different hospital for the Breast Clinic and helping out at the campsite so I've been a little all over - not quite the good all over for getting travel in but the slightly messier internalised version.
The link for Solidamie is below - I'm not too sure if the discount code still works but it's worth a try.
The Solidamie Plant Based shampoo bars are amazing and I managed to get a 15% offer for you guys if you wanted to try - the offer code is MANDY and the link to the website is here www.solidamie.co.uk/?ref=ffob...
If you would like to buy me a coffee to keep my levels topped up then the link is here; www.buymeacoffee.com/UAmandy
I will guarantee a happy dance for every coffee I receive ❤️

At least they didn't call you and say they needed to work you in earlier. Them being willing to delay is actually a positive. 🌺

I agree its about change & not screening. Most screening tests cannot determine whether someone will get ill. Many people wrongly mistake screening for “prevention,” and some think that having regular screening tests can protect them from a disease. But that is not the case: screening tests usually cannot prevent diseases. Doctors also tend to be too optimistic when it comes to the benefits of screening. Please do your own research into this topic... Like you l also use natural products. Your outlook is great, a positive mind can do wonders. I'm still praying 💜

I don't think I have commented on any of your vlogs before although have been following you and John for quite a while now. Just wanted to say all the best for your appointment tomorrow. You are a true inspiration - your attitude to what is going on with your health is phenomenal and you are truly strong and optimistic in the most challenging of situations. I truly hope that things will go aw well as they can for you and of course for John xxx

You are the best! I love the way you are able to express your feelings and what is going on. Your honesty is refreshing. I liked the example of the vortex with you in the center and everything flying around you. I am like you when I am in a situation with medical stuff and just do what they tell me to do. Your recommendation of watching for changes is so spot on. That is why I do annual testing because it can show changes that I might have missed. You are a special lady with your needs and desires just where there need to be. You are strong and know that you will get thru this with flying colors. Sending hugs and prayers.

That phrase, "nothing they didn't expect to see" was exactly what they said to me before my treatment started, so I don't think it is anything to worry about.
@sewjojosewingandcrafts3679 3 ай бұрын
That's my thoughts too. Because the clinical staff deal with this all of the time, they sometimes forget us patients aren't used to it, and then we worry. They also need to cover their backs and not tell you something they're not supposed to. Its all about crossing those T's and dotting the i's 😊 I'm only 4.43 into the vlog so I'll get back to it. ❤

Lol. I roared when you said about the boob fondling.... 😅 It's defo a strange experience! A story to share about black humour. My ex's boss had some form of cancer (it was a while ago now), and he had to have an op. Now he was a very, very, very hairy man (except on his head, bizarrely) but when he was about to go under, the last thing he heard was the guys wondering how many razors they were going to need to shave his chest!!! He said he laughed or tried to. He thought it was hilarious. Keep your pecker up. Black humour helps. 🤣

Feel for you Mandy. You are being so positive, Like the message that you are putting out about change and how important it is for both men and woman alike. Nobody likes to be poked and prodded, i have recently been though an exploratory procedure, having a camera put where you should never really have one. Good news, goods news it did reveal a very small tumour that was removed and treated very quickly. Embarrassing, but has to be done. As you said the doctors and nurses are doing this many times a day, its the patient that feels uncomfortable. Love you openness. Thinking of you, all my best wishes and big hugs to both of you.

Well, it's wazzing down tonight as I watch your video, hoping it's better weather for your appointment tomorrow. The dog looks like he'd be happy if I didn't take him out for last orders; and I'm reminded by you in the vidio that it's the changes that signal a call to action, and that my late brother took too long to go and see his doctor about changes in his bowel movement. Thanks for the reminder. Take care, big hugs to both. 👋 🇬🇧🇺🇦🇪🇺

Love, love, love dark humour, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. When I told my gorgeous Northern friends I had breast cancer, I said give me your worst most inappropriate comments, as it won't be as bad as some of the things myself and Adam had come out with. Humour is a good tonic. The analogy your cancer nurse came out with is exactly the term I used. You have a cancer diagnosis and then get thrust into the tornado that is appointments. Funnily enough I was having a conversation today in the changing room after swimming about how I'd rather have a mammogram any day over getting my vag out 😂😂. As I've said before you're smashing this out of the park. No point fretting as you can't change it. You've just got to ride the wave. 😘😘

It’s good to keep checking and be aware of any changes but mine was only picked up at breast screening as was deep and couldn’t be felt. I love how you are keeping positive and your sense of humour is amazing.

Here in the USA the nurses and technicians aren't allowed to say anything about what they see on scans or reports before the doctor says it. That's why they say things like she did and just keep repeating the same thing. Not something to worry about it. Hang in there.

The long process of examinations and appointments and new examinations and new appointments etc. was also something that frustrated me a lot. I do also recognize your way of dealing with the examinations: when I was in hospital, my time belonged to the hospital, we'd just wait without complaining, and do what I was supposed to do. The only time I really hated to bare my breasts and I actually refused to do so, was when the insurance doctors wanted to examine me. Come on, I didn't ask for all this shit, and I refused. Other than that: well, it is what it is, isn't it. Best of luck tomorrow!
