Just had a nice long chat with B after she had to have further surgery to take all of the cancerous cells in her boob yesterday
She only got the results on Monday from her lumpectomy the week before Christmas
So things are going really fast for her
I can only give her love and be available to let her talk and ntry to support her
Her children are 19 17 and 13 so are doing the housework and cooking
I am just the daft old bat who cherishes her friendship
In general, the faster the better as far as I know. I thanked the Lord for the Royal Navy when my son noticed a Lump; four days from first appointment, via cancer diagnosis, to single orchidectomy. He rang up on a Wednesday and told me heād give me the bad news and the good news in that order: āIāve been diagnosed with testicular cancer, theyāre operating on Friday.ā
Heās had no further trouble.
The Lad had to go to Leeds for his surgery. They moved very quickly once they realised that it was cancer.
He is one of the youngest people in the country to have had this, so they werenāt looking for it in the first place.
All good wishes to B, Twellsy.

It really seems to be the speed of intervention that helps with survival
B was at a routine screening and the girls there didnāt let her go until various extra photos had been taken and appointments with the surgeon made
So the message is get squished girls (and boys keep an eye out too)
B thinks she is going to try and outdo with the quantity of her medsā¦
What this says to me is that lumpectomies are relied on too heavily. A little more lead time and it could have been one surgery, not two, for your friend. But the conservative approach is currently fashionable.
I hope the second op is successful and wish her a swift and uncomplicated recovery.
Thanks Gus
B is happily declining on the sofa by the fire with a bundle of yarn from the alpaca farm in the west of our county
Last seen knitting socks on 4 needles and working in Fair Isle just to up the difficulty
In which case a GA might feel like a nice rest [grinnity]

I used to have rubber riding boots wivvan heel as my wellies. They looked & felt great.
I canāt get into long-legged anything without a zip, or opening since the feet went funny, so they went to the Charity shop.

Size 3 only, Twellies. Drat the luck.
Feral has written an Thing which takes the horribly complicated Traffic England web site, pulls out some specific data, and calculates current travel time by each route between the M40 (towards the Nest) and the M6 north (towards several conventions a year). Nice and simple.
If you say so, Dunnockā¦
Beers fer Feral
I ordered a size larger having read the reviews, & have also put a pair of gel insoles in them, so that the feets are comfortable. Gel insoles are very shock absorbing, which izzan Good Thing.

There is a lot to be said for warm comfy dry feetās
Supper here was cauliflower cheese
The cheese sauce was the lay of the cheese board and was gorgeous
Tomorrow is a simple meal of beans on toast
Or a baldie knees with pasta sauce
My feets are kept warm and dry courtesy of Fly London (several pairs, which have never leaked) and I lurve them.
Sis and BiL called by, this afternoon, which was good. I made spaghetti al tonno with salad, this evening. Tomorrow involves a trip to Embra and back. I must post a pic of Poodle!
