AWAKE.........

 spleens are so yesterday!  I do feel for you and your litthe family.  You all have such a lot on your plate but hopefully things will soon start to improvf xxx

LondonLass yay for good  news!  Hope you are both painting the town read though if you anything like me after a traumatic time I have a glass of wine and then I’m not happy till I have my bed!!

LondonLass Ahh, I missed your post, but great news, so happy for your mum! It must be a massive relief.

Thank you, everyone, for the welcomes back. I'm not too bad, I'm just getting very easily tired (and weirdly, very easily out of breath!). Lately I'm very achey but I'm not sure if it is the cold or the chemo! It has been keeping me up at night but I'm trying not to go too crazy with the painkillers!

Family are okay; husband is coping by taking his frustrations out on school annoyances (the latest being that the staff are having to grow radishes so that they can prove to Ofsted that they are prioritising staff wellbeing...). The girls are okay but we've had drama this week because they seem to have shot up and none of their clothes or shoes fit! And when it came to sourcing/getting new stuff, my goodness, what a fuss! Mainly that nothing was pink enough...

Time to be thinking about bed soon, probably! Xxx

Good news about your mam LondonLass .   Hope you’re doing good seaspirit44 and ... and everyone else xx

Night night all, sleep well, sending sleepy fairy dust

I want to say I am so pleased to hear about your mum's good news Sal, hopefully, you and your mum will get a restful nights sleep and good journey home tomorrow. 

Northerner, I'm loving all the pictures, especially the'Party dance' this did make me laugh.

, I hope you are well have you any campervan travels for the weekend - if so, will be thinking about you, your journeys sound wonderful.

, you didn't miss a post by Sal's (Londonlass), Grannylara posted on behalf of Sal.

Well Fruit Loops, following my instructions to un-wind and go to bed earlier, I am going to keep this post short and get off and relax and un-wind all as instructed.... you know who you are  and this is much appreciated.... (this week seems like the more I try to go to bed early the more I sabotage myself and end up going later and later arrrghh.

Dearest , Baxter sends his love and wants you to know he manages to sneak into the kitchen more times that I can count.... oww and he has a little video clip he wants me to send  (I'll post it tomorrow  )

Wishing you all a lovely weekend, please don't upset yourselves worrying - worrying will just tire you out.  Any time you get upsetting thoughts - push them away, if this doesn't work then make sure you come on here and post your worries or thoughts ... a problem share is a problem more than halved on here - we are a great bunch.

Sweet Dreams, Nighty Night xxxxx

Wonderful news LondonLass, so happy for you and your mum. Have a good rest tonight.

, sorry about your spleen, but hopefully it will improve your ability to fight this horrible disease. 

Thank you Flossie25, recovering well.

ThNk you WhatHappenedfor your lovely posts xx

Good night and love to all fruitloops xx     

Hi seaspirit44. 
The new targeted therapy Ribociclib tablets made me feel pretty nauseous for the first few days.

I have been on them a week and have another two weeks to go of first cycle. 

So instead of taking them in the morning, I’ve been taking the 600mg tablets before bed and in that way have slept through some of the side effects.

They also leave me feeling very tired ( like the second week of Capecitabine). 
Good wishes to everyone.

Judith xx

WhatHappened. So glad that your visitor cat is keeping warm this weather

It just seems to rain and rain Baxter has somewhere to keep dry which is great !
