AWAKE.........

Lesley63 hope mx went really well, and you are not in too much discomfort.  Take it easy for a while.

i had some good news this morning from oncologist.  Chemo is 3 weeks shorter than I thought, as they are including the abandoned docetaxel as cycle 1.  Which means I’ll be all done on chemo before Easter.

Less good was the prosthesis fitting I had later on, which I found inexplicably upsetting, and found myself in floods of tears when I got home.  Definitely grieving for my boob, but also annoyed that I wasn’t offered any choice. I have been given a size I don’t want, and I did try and question it, but was sent away with ‘this is right for you’.  Now I wish I had been more assertive and insisted I try out some different ones.  I feel I have wasted the opportunity.

Luckily I have booked a ticket for the Shelter online carol service this evening, so that will cheer me up.

Impressed with all the baking that has been going on. You must have large freezers to accommodate it all.

Hello Fruit Loops, thanks LondonLass, PET scan all done, only running 40 minutes late, hopefully when I see my new oncologist on Tuesday he will have some answers for me and hopefully a new chemo. 
Hope everyone is managing to cope with all that is being thrown at us, hopefully this new vaccine will help us to get back to a new normal xxx

Hope all went well and you are feeling alright, glad you found us when you needed us xx

LondonLass So pleased Bella's lump was just a fatty area, bless her she looks so sweet as a reindeer. Sorry you have to trail back tomorrow xxx

best of luck for Tuesday xx

ring them up about the prosthesis, say you're not happy being fobbed off with something too big. Know it is easier said than done when you're feeling upset, but comfort is important and they could try harder xxx

I am also impressed with the baking, well done to all bakers xxx

Wow, I'm so impressed with all the baking. (Not a skill I possess.) I might be able to manage a fruit cake, but all the pastries? Nope.

I hope you are comfortable, @lesley63, andvrelieved to have your surgery over with. 

I remember Ali Owl, but I haven't read anything from her in a very long time.

I love the pissed-off cat, LondonLass , and Bella looks good in her antlers. I'm glad she's ok, and that your sleepless night was unnecessary. 

Yes, , I agree,  phone to say you’re not happy; have given it a chance but can they urgently see you again? I hope that works and you get a prosthesis that makes YOU feel ok, that really should be their aim.

Hi , The " service " you had at the prosthesis fitting is deplorable. Don't they have any empathy at all ?.I am so cross on your behalf. Please get in touch with them again and state clearly but firmly that you need to be seen again ,rather than being fobbed off  with an unsuitable one.I am sure others in your position have been upset and the floods of tears are a release valve and part of coming to terms with the enormous shock that this disease causes. Sending you very big hugs and encouragement xxKwissy
