After being given a incurable stage 4 metatastic cancer diagnosis during lockdown in April 2020. It has come fro a recurrence of breast cancer which I had 10 years ago. It is affecting my lymph glands, lungs and bones. I wa commenced on targeted Palbociclib therapy. My last C.T scan showed a good response with shrinkage of my lung tumours, so i can eat better as the tumour was pressing on my oesophagus causing an obstruction thus persistent vommitting. I am feeling very good at present and getting minimal side effects from the medication. My main concern now is pain control. I had oromorph but it makes me very drowsy so unable to do any of my hobbies. my G>p gave me codein phosphate instead but again it causesdrowsyness and constipation. I take either so fae have found this to have some effectof these at night and rely on paracetamol during the day. I was given a TENS machine for Christmas and so far have had some benefit.
Maybe we could do some craft things and donate to Macmillan and have an online craft fayre,

I love designing and painting ceramics. It solved many Christmas present ideas.
Maybe the Macmillan team could set up a online craft fayre to raise funds.
We did this at The neuromuscular centre I attend, which is also a charity organisation and we raised a consiferable amount of money

Hi everyone
I thought the group was lacking something, then after I had made some birds I remembered that there was quite a bit of crocheted and knitted work done by our dear Daloni among others.
biddy51, your knitted doll is wonderful looking, any little pair of hands would love to hold it. Well done you
