  • Thats really interesting, I’ll have a look on HR intraweb. I doubt I’ll be offered it as I think others are applying for the new roles and there will be enough to be slotted in. 30 weeks pay won’t be a huge amount either and as I’ve been on term time contracts for a lot of the time, my pension won’t be worth much either. Disappointed

  • I’ve got presents organised!!!! I’m astonished to be honest. Some have been delivered, some coming very soon, (tomorrow probably!) and I’ve begun the cards as there are a few who won’t know about hubs. So they will get posted early. Which gives me a joke that hubs always giggled at……(and told every year at some stage or other)

    ’can I give you a top tip?’

    a, ‘shop early for Christmas!’

  • Dear 

    I used to wonder whether certain  occupations did have anything to do with getting cancer.I would be interested to do a little study.My GP said she knew of a few Doctor friends with it too.

    …Waht a lovely patient!What a Joy!makes it all worthwhile.

    Yes I have got started early too…and am enjoying the run up to Christmas as once all pressies made or bought,you can relax and enjoy.Your husband was right xx

  • Hi  I have been a Nurse for 22 years and a Specialist nurse for 8 of those. I did crazy shifts in hospital years ago, and now work 30 hours a week. I'm 55 but hope to retire a bit early, we'll see ! I work in Occupational health now and advise lots of ladies who had breast cancer and help them return to work, it can be upsetting but also lovely xxx

  • I found it helped so much that a lot of the Health Carers had had cancer themselves on the Unit I was on when I had mine removed xx

  • Night night Fruit Loops, sleep well and stay safe

  • Just wanted to say Goodnight. But thought I would end on a festive ‘giggle’! 

    Oh how true that is!! 

    But these two made me laugh…..I am easily pleased! 

    Well it was worth a try I suppose! One of mine could do with pumping up a bit Thinking But I wouldn’t put Santa through the trauma JoyRoflJoyRoflJoyRoflJoyRofl

    The last one…..

    Something children of today might say

    Hope those brought a smile to the face of anyone that needed it. Sweet Dreams Everyone. Night night. Sal xxxxx

  • Good morning 

    Your post cheered me up xx

    i was actually coming on to say I was leaving this forum as unfortunately I have had to join another support group BHF !

    I have had 2 heart attacks this year which were a big shock ! Nothing to do with cancer treatment . Just confirms that my oncologist was correct in limiting my Herceptin due to heart murmur. I’m doing ok but curtailed in my activities for now . No driving and no aqua aerobics . .been a bit of a puzzle as first heart attack was put down to me having sepsis in my gallbladder - never felt any gallbladder pain untill examined . But due to all the warnings while having chemo , I knew something was mega wrong as I had a temp of over 39 . I expected all to be well but wham heart attack no. 2 ! Fortunately no damage done to my heart and I now know the cause  - tiny arteries going into spasms . Got meds and specialist cardiologist nurse and physio .  Being well looked after by nhs and hubby and son . 
    I still visit the awake thread to see how you are all getting on . 
    emotional time as nearly 4 years since breast cancer diagnosis when my life changed  for ever . But then Covid came and changed all our lives for ever , so I better not moan . 
    I am going to start a Christmas jigsaw today , as you know jigsaws kept me sane during my treatment - wee bit of escapism and kept the brain fog at bay . Then I’ve a small jumper to knit for a Christmas present - again something I restarted during my recovery and covid . 
    take care dear Sal and all Fruit Loops 

    Love from
