linsw, just wanted to say............
I am so touched by your kind words, when you are going through so much yourself. All suggestions are always gratefully received, but yes you are right I have tried most of them! As for learning to accept my limitations ;-) I am certainly working on it!
I am pleased to hear you have had another drain removed, now to concentrate on getting better and allowing yourself time to heal, both physically and emotionally. Just remember we are all here for you, if you need a RANT ;-)
I have got up enjoyed a yummy breakfast and walked the dog! Feel like cr*p but am going to go out for lunch, then come home and slob out for the rest of the day! My body is clearly telling me that i have already done enough today! For once I'm not going to fight it, i am going to listen to it!!
Hope you manage to enjoy some sunshine! Thanks again, you are a star! Sal xxxxx
Lynn, another thanks for bringing the sunshine with you!!
We went down to Portsmouth yesterday, looked around the Historical Dockyard and took a harbour tour. Was great to see the new carrier. She is HUGE (although not as big as the American ones!), and there are Police boats going to and fro all the time.
BCN called as I came out of the Mary Rose exhibition - worth the ticket price just for that!! I now have a cardio consult on 2 Oct - I was right, although it's unlikely to be too serious or I'd have been called straight in.
Today we went to Guildford and wandered around Dapdune Wharf as there was an exhibition there. Picked up some KFC on the way home - yummy!
10 000 steps yesterday and 8 500 today, but suffering for it now. Have to realise muscles need oxygen to work properly......
Tomorrow we're off to Salisbury to see Dad's auntie and cousins. He's not seen them for many years, so a good opportunity.
I'm getting far too much exercise at night kicking hubby to make him stop snoring. I end up waking around 10am as I'm not getting enough sleep during the night.
And he's being a bl**dy difficult sod at the moment too. Keeps having a go at me when I can't remember something. Hey ho.
Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the weekend!!

Hi Tox, that is a great number of steps considering! I have done 33 today, but that beats yesterday, lol! Xx

None of us wanted to be in this group, but we are glad we're not alone.
Diagnosis 2/8/17 IDC Her2+, 22mm, with spread to several lymph nodes. TCHP chemo started 23/8/17, Mx with immediate, temp recon 24/1/18, rads 20/3 to 10/4/18, Herceptin by IV until Nov 18. RR Mx Jan 23. Still waiting for reconstruction, but opting for simple implants, as opposed to Diep, due to long waiting lists for diep.
You HAVE been in hospital Jo - no steps allowed!!

Hi Londonlass
I am sorry to read that no one had asked how you are as you do listen to everyone else all the time.
I hope you are having a restful weekend and are a very great help to everyone else and you sure do have a wicked sense of humour.
Please have a good rest and sleep and take care of yourself.

Hi happy mum, I am a member of the Secondary Breast Cancer Club! Not a club I'd recommend joining, although there are some very nice club members! I am currently stable and having 3 weekly Zoladex injections to shut down my ovaries! Suffering with Fatigue and side effects of a mountain of pain meds. BUT on the whole doing well.
This weekend I'm a bit.......Well........let's put it this way........
WARNING......
Some days/weeks are just like that!
Hope you are having a good weekend and everyone else. xxxx
Hopefully Sal the Sun is  out today and I always feel better when it's shining ...hope you feel more positive as the day goes on xxx
