HI Flossie25.....Thank you for your reply-I didn't mean to infer that you should stop the tablets,far from it ! I am sure that walking is the answer ,apart from it keeping us as fit as possible.When I first started taking Letrozole I had discomfort/pain in my feet but didn't connect it with the medication! I changed from wearing slippers to trecking type sandals and things improved. I crochet quite a lot and up to now haven't found that my fingers are any different -Fingers crossed they stay that way. I cannot take any of the anti inflammatory drugs usually prescibed for arthritis due to severe allergy to them. So keeping moving is my only option with the help of paracetemol.
Yes it was hard coming to terms with my diagnosis but thanks to my previous breast surgeon's advice I continued to request mammogram after I was 70. I thank him virtually, every day -this cancer I could not find on examination but neither could my new surgeon and he knew exactly where it was! So, I am now in the recovery stage of this and value the help and support of others like yourself and feel that hopefully we can all support each other on this site . (Just wish the techies would sort out the niggles!) Sending big hugs xx
Hmmm. I heard LP was on the ward early yesterday, but didn't see him for ages. He has definitely taken a shine to one particular nurse, and the affection seems to be mutual. He visits patients with her, checks the drug charts, and she let's him hand out the little pill pots. And he wore his white coat!
Now everybody wants him to do rounds. He us so much fun. Thanks for sending him, Sal.
Well finally managed to get on my phone, it’s weird I can only see my post once on here but the same post 3 times on my iPad, like most people say the print is so tiny.
Hope everyone is ok, still nothing from or hope they are ok, I know they both live alone, let’s hope they appear soon.
Have a good day if you can, I have had bloods done today ready for injections and oncologist tomorrow xx
I got into this feed but found myself down a rabbit hole which I couldn’t get out of as I got interested...a few pages back now.If you have gone to a new fb site,please could someone say the name?I will miss you if you gooooooooooooo!!
Kwissy didn’t think for a minute you were saying stop tabs although I know there are some who do because their quality of life is so bad. Yes ... keep on moving. Xx

That’s really bad, dear Seaspirit, am glad you told Admin how frustrating it is, it’s soooooo slow getting signed back in and I’m still not on on the laptop!

Hi All I'm back home from Cumbria to get treatment today . Most prob. Stay home for a week .
Luckily a good needle nurse today so not so much pain as herceptin going in . Useful hint I was given back in January was to arrive early and warm the herceptin up between hands . Also warm thigh up so much less pain .
when I was able to get online ( weak signal ) I've checked out new site . Found my way around alright and have bookmarked most things . I agree with you Moomy pain to be signing in all the time and I do know I need to be a member so the generic " join pop up "needs to disappear , I just ignore it and sign in .
I now open up with the breast cancer discussion forum which is the latest activity under another name , so new discussions are visible .
I don't thing it is very friendly on the eye but that is my personal preference for the green conversation box
Would prefer dates back on messages instead of how many hours / days ago . Will try to catch up on posts oops sorry replys
