Well I sdtarted my first of 12 planned cycles of folfox yesterday and all went well apart from the fact that I have lost my mobile - probably at the chemo suite they are looking for it.My husband came to collect me as we live a long way from the hospital and he had to queue 30 mins for the car park and still couldn't get in so he phoned me.The parking for the hospital is really bad and makes the visit really drag out but the staff on the chemo suite are lovely so it balances out I suppose.
...Hi everyone... sorry not posted for a while...
Having been to the hospital to be told that i have gone from 85% healed to only 65% healed i was a bit depressed. I am now back on a dressing regime that worked 2 months ago before getting back to work.
I shower in the morning and then prontosan soak the wound for 10-15 minutes. then moisturise the whole leg with 50/50. then apply a small patch of acticoat to the wound. then a small wad of gauze then a surgipad and then the support stocking.

Well we have been back from euro disney a week and we are just about recovered.
We meet lil man on sunday and he ran up to me with a massive grin on his face. That was the most amazing thing ever. He had a fansatic time loved every minute of it. He got lots of pictures with the charaters and signuaters.
The hotel they stayed in was wicked. If it was raining the chararters would come in and dance on the stairs and take photos with the children. The only thing we didn't get to see was the parade...
Hi Guys Firstly i want to thank everyone for your wonderful messages of support and pm's.
Today went quite well, I has a 4 hour lecture this morning with various speakers from the trust, it was very informative but made my head hurt.
The Chaplain came in too but i was ok. I was worried about that part but i was fine.
This afternoon i got to visit my ward. I am on renal ward, we have a lot of dialysis patients but everyone including the staff seemed lovely. One lady prob in her 80's asked me...

Well anyway as a couple of very close friends on here know i was devastated by some stuff she did on sat , but do you know what i cant ask ju anything...
Hi All,
I too am new to this blog thing. I thought it might make me feel less alone to realise other people are out there going through much worse than me. I haven't been through that much and I should be more positive by far. I was diagnosed in April 09 with Lobular Carcinoma, underwent a lumpectomy and partital node removal, then RT. I decided after an ONCO DX test not to do Chemotherapy, as it would not benefit me (I hope that was the right decision) .
Now I am taking Tamoxofen and Zoladex...
please don't read this if you want to read something possitive.
It has been 2 months and 17days since my beautiful loving and brave husband passed away. It will be 4 months tomorrow since our wedding day, which makes it 4 months and 1 week since his diagnosis, which was terminal from the start, do not pass go do not collect £200. No hope of cure, but he was still so determined to fight it and it was all taken from him so fast it feels so unfair.
And now there is me, left behind, alone...
I have finished the active part of my treatment for BC (diag Jan 2010), it's been a whirlwind to say the least (surgery, chemo, rt).
I am a very positive person by nature and truly believe this has helped my on my journey and am somewhat surprised by my feelings at present, of will I be able to do this. In my heart I know I can it just feels a little odd at the moment.
This site and all my MAC friends have been amazing and I am thankful for all the support I have received. I guess these things...
