I am a Warrior Princess!

Totally agree

Personally I find just walking along the beach is magic for me, I’m very lucky that it’s about 10 minutes from my house.

I feel calm, yet invigorate, energised but at peace. It doesn’t matter if it’s sunny and 25 degrees or a freezing cold Boxing Day walk which I did with my children  last Christmas, hubby thought we were bonkers. I knew I was starting chemo in the January and I thought right I want to be able to walk everyday I can, blowing those cobwebs away, it’s definitely helped me through my first half of chemo treatment. 

I like to take photos too so I guess the beach and photography go hand in hand for me. It’s done wonders for my mental health. 

Awww that’s amazing! I wish I lived closer to the beach. I do believe you’ve definitely got to make the most out of every day as well and feel the sun on your face and the sand between your toes. 

Your picture is lovely, you should have that framed. 

Hiw are you feeling now, part way through? I hope you’re not too tired.

Hi ladies, I am here for the advice. I have dilated ( prominent) duct in the ultrasound with clear discharge. Clear discharge comes out when I squeeze the nipple only from right breast and only one duct.  Surgeon is suspicious. They will do the microductectomy to rule out if it’s cancerous or not. I am really scared. 

Hi Neha, 

yiuve done the right thing by going to your surgeon. Once you’re in the ‘system’ you’ll be seen very quickly. I’m afraid I don’t have any advice on the discharge as that wasn’t anything I experienced but do try not to worry unnecessarily. I know that’s easier said than done.

let us know how you get on. 

Thanks

Im feeling pretty good. Didn’t have much of a problem with EC, a few days after first Docetaxel I got some aching painful legs and had to have bloods to rule out Neutropenia but was ok. Penultimate treatment next week!

Hi Amy, 

thank you for replying. I have an appointment with surgeon after the microductectomy biospsy on Thursday. Just want to know does surgeon tells the good news too? 

Really worried.

Hi

sounds likeim going to be having the same as you.. EC then docetaxel... I’m having 4 of each.. last day 23rd August hopefully.... fingers crossed, touchwood etc etc! 

Did the leg pain sort out with the docetaxel? X 

Hi  

Just seen this. Thankfully yes didn’t get it as bad on 5th Chemo which was 2nd Docetaxel. I developed Hand foot syndrome (red rash, sore and itchy) instead.

 Seeing oncologist on Tuesday ahead of last chemo he said  he will see about reducing dose for the last chemo

Hope you are doing ok .

Hi ladies, 

i had EC and Docetaxel too. I didn’t get the hand foot syndrome that I remember but I found it harder going than EC although that could have been general chemo fatigue. 

Let us know how you both get on xx
