joined group

Hi 

Warm welcome to the group; blimey you have had some ride over the last year or so :-/

Lovely to see you have met Mike The Highlander and joined the Stem Cell Group which will probably be your 'go to' group mostly.

Have you any BC baggage or just concentrating on the Leukaemia aspect now ? as there is also a Main Breast Group which is very active with loads of 'chatty' discussions from gardening, baking, crafts and of course humour 

We are also self isolating but luckily have a half decent garden which we intend to make the most of with this 'promised' sunnier/warmer weather. Lovely seeing the birds taking coir from the hanging baskets and moss from the pond

Look forward to seeing you around the place, er' how did the home made bread turn out ?  

Take care, G n' J

Hi dreamthief pleased to meet you , i have joined four of the groups , chat, breast cancer for under 50s, emotional issues, and stem cell transplant, because they are all personally fitting to me. And people get unwell on these kind of sites and have commitments, so you need scope.

The breast cancer is ongoing checks, and my main goal is to get the rest of my reconstruction done if possible at a future date, i m also on exemestane. My breast cancer was hormonal that caused it, so i also had my ovaries removed.My leukemia took president last year, i spent all 2019 in hospital conditioning me for a stem cell transplant, which was a man ( god bless him). The worry for me is, will i have to much of the male hormone even though exemestane blocks it, a question for my oncologist. 

There is never a right time for anything, just before i got breast cancer my mum died, and not long after it sent my dad funny the stress of loosing his wife, trauma, Alzheimer decease set in . I know he wanted to be with my mum, it finished him when she left this earth and passed on to the next dimension the chrysalis of life. Then i got the leukemia . I am five months into my transplant and have done quite well apart from going in hospital a few weeks ago with a pic line infection. But then corona virus appeared. But after all said i am here, and i got my cat to my brothers, so he was nt trapped in my home, before treatment last year. So yeh i can still get to see him at times.I had him ten years before i could do no more. It broke my heart more , worrying about him at home and getting him help than being told i had leukemia.

My bread, got put in the oven this morning, and i am going to make myself a lovely sandwich for lunch, i sneaked the crust off the end, and my mouth drooled, oh lovely straight out of the oven. That satisfying moment of bliss for a few seconds, but forever in the mind.

So whats your story, and what have you been up to!
