What do you think though of those G.P.s who won't see anyone who coughs, as reported in Daily Telegraph today ? I went for Physio today; next door to a Dr's surgery in another town to where I live. My man was just wearing a mask, but the other two Physiotherapists had both masks and plastic visors on. Clerical staff not wearing masks but behind a sealed screen. G.P. Surgery still not open. I'm not complaining about my own G.P. as I asked for and was given a face to face appt with him as I wanted to be referred for some Physio. Then I cancelled it as I heard from Physio Dept in the end after a long delay. Apparently many cancer patients' tumours have developed to the point (stage 4) where they can now do nothing, due to the fact G.P.s refused to see anyone. I consider myself so lucky as spotted on screening (stage 2-3) and one breast stage 1 but multifocal. A mammogram unit (lorry thing) has been in our local Sainsburys car park since January 2021 and still seeing people.

Thank you to all that replied.... I was going to reply tonight, and after reading the various posts and replying to one I have just noticed the time, so my lovelies I'll reply tomorrow and get myself off to bed after the obligatory cup of tea
You really are all amazing and make life so much more pleasant and seemingly a lot more carefree.
Grabbing some sleep dust from the fairy - Thank you xxxxxx
Thank you so much Londonlass.
I do have siblings but I’m the one living with mum at the moment, plus I am a nurse ( but never really worked with cancer patients), I’m sort of expected to know more and do more which is pressure!
also I’m not too sure how to add you as friend just trying to figure it out
Morning Daizy03, if you click on my name it will take you to my profile, then on the right hand side of the screen there’s a green box which says +connect, click on there and it’ll have I think two choices Follow and Request friend? Or might say accept friendship request? Just click on that and it should make us ‘friends’!
Ahh I see now why you are trying to be super mum and super daughter and super nurse. But perhaps time to have a heart to heart with your siblings and remind them that you can’t do it all (even if you would like too). This could be a long journey and your mum needs all of you to support her. Plus in my opinion it doesn’t matter that you have no experience with Cancer patients, because you don’t need to be your mums Nurse, you need to be her Daughter! Don’t add anymore pressure on yourself!
You are allowed to feel as scared, vulnerable and upset as anyone else in this situation, just because you are a Nurse, doesn’t change this! In this situation it’s YOUR mum, not your patient. You sound as if you are doing being a great support Hun, but remember you don’t have to do it all. Please look after yourself too. Xx
Hi Fruit Loops…

Wishing everyone as good a day as possible! I have my Zoladex this morning, then meeting a friend for coffee and a catch up. Dreading the Zoladex as it’s with the one Nurse who has really hurt each time I’ve had her! I don’t know why but she just doesn’t do it as well as the others! But I can be brave for 2mins…….. I think!!
Well I can’t put it off much longer, I should get up and ready to go! Catch up with you all later. If I stay awake long enough too later! Sending Love and Hugs to all who need it. Thinking of you all. Sal xxxxx
I don't want to shout too loudly in case it was a one off but for the first time in months, I slept through last night and got 7 hours sleep. Woo-hoo.
Boob looks horrid all red and peeling and my scars and armpit are red although a darker red like too much tan which looks weird as I'm quite pale. Itches too but slapping on moisturiser.
Loving the tales, I think I need to get out more but not sure what to do with myself. I did notice when nipping to village yesterday that not a lot of people wearing masks where as I am - you get funny looks wearing one but I'm looking after myself and stuff anyone else!
Keep going all xx
Thank you so much finally did it! Sounds silly but didn’t even notice the green plus sign before.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Will see what I can do I suppose
