Hi everyone,
Here's the new thread for October.
Hi Silverback
So sorry to hear that you are having some issues.
Have you spoken to your team about these issues? Do you have a “red card” number to ring?
When I had my chemo I was lucky to not have too many problems with my mouth but did discuss the problem with my consultant who prescribed me some heavy weight mouth wash which had a numbing effect, an absolute game changer!
Stay positive, be strong

Hi KrisPy, I've been vomiting 
a lot with diarrhea too. Don't know what has caused it but I haven't eaten anything apart from a plain biscuit and half a piece of toast for 3 days now. My tummy is making gurgly noises and I can't relieve any wind or the diarrhoea starts. I was taking one of my 23 daily tablets and coughed which started it again. I've noticed that my water bottle doesn't taste like water and I haven't slept much for 3 days also.
The GP sent a script through to the pharmacy (same building) and when Mrs Tvman went to get those tablets the pharmacist wrote another 2 scripts and gave her the meds for me. I'm feeling depressed cos there is no end in sight, doesn't seem like it anyway so I'm going to lie low for a while.
I didn't do one of my weekly injections properly yesterday and it still hurts at that spot in the tummy.
Sorry to hear that about Eddie, he's a good friend and gardening pal. Can someone send him my best wishes please.

Hi tvman
I’m sorry to hear you are so unwell- take care and take it easy, after such a knock back it will take a whilE to get fighting fit again.
I am up early as I can’t sleep due to excruciating pain in my shoulder- - I am hoping that it is just a result of the surgery ( sometimes they ‘blow you up’ a bit with air and this then migrates to the shoulders I am told).
I must say that the effects of hormone therapy and post - operative issues are not sitting well with me at the moment….
Best wishes and I hope you are feeling better soon
Stay positive, be strong

I'm very sorry to hear you're not at all well at the moment tvman and sincerely hope you feel much better soon.
With my best wishes, Derek.

I'm sorry you're having a bad time at the moment KrisPy , being on triplet therapy myself I can imagine how difficult it must be to cope with and recover from surgery as well.
I hope you're soon feeling much better.
Take care, Derek.

Hello Patrick, the leaves on the trees are turning here in North Yorkshire and bright sunshine is showing them up beautifully this morning.
Being very lucky we're off to the south west USA in a few days. There are deciduous trees growing anywhere in the desert where water is found and the colours this time of year are also spectacular, particularly when it is almost always sunny with little or no breeze.
Derek.
