Hi - we’ve met on another thread. Hope it goes ok on Tuesday - wonder if you are having fulvestrant. Glad you are starting treatment. I think there are people on the forum who have had these, if you need to aak anything or vent. Xx
I shall be thinking of you on Tuesday. How often do you have to have the injections?
Sorry for the strange words in my message earlier which should have said still in bed. The vagaries of predictive text making up nonsensical words as I press send on the message.
Just walked into town to do some shopping. Had a disagreement with my OH and ended up sitting on a bench having a massive meltdown. I would never have done this pre letrozole!
Lacomtekp hope you are improved.
good you’ve got a treatment plan
Northerner hope your touristy visits were good.
Mag123 I think of meltdowns as pressure valves. I hope you’re feeling a bit better.
Ive just confessed to hubby I twanged the cover off one of the side mirrors ... I blamed the gate !!! I got it back on ok although think one of the inner clips snapped off. Clear repair tape does the trick and the wing mirror is in keeping with the rest of the car !!! I’m watch 6 Nations today. Calcutta game good. I’m hoping England win this time. Wales didn’t play well earlier.
Ive had to do stretches again for shoulder/surgery area as it’s giving me a bit of jip. I can tell structures are getting a bit adhered again. It’s my own fault as I should have done them regularly even when it improved after having physio.
“ The only constant thing in life is change “
I should be interested very to know what stretches you have been advised for your shoulder. Mine is totally seazed up. Any suggestions please.
My OH promised he wouldn't shout at me again as I am so clumsy on letrozole. Then just doing the washing up I knocked a plate off the drainer onto the new cat food bowl and smashed both plate and bowl. He just yelled and yelled at me for being stupid. The thing is I can totally see it from his point of view. I really am clumsy and itbis so frisrmtrating for him. But shouting makes me cry and I have never been that sort of person. I accept Cancer changes us and we can never go back to being the person we were but I truly hate the new me.
Rant and moment of despair over. Thank you for letting me splurge it all out. I tried a diary but just felt stupid.
So sorry for your bad day Mag123 but you are not stupid!!!!! Washing up now OH’s job.
You are such a caring person, please do not say you hate your new you, YOU are still in there you just have battle scars that take their toll. I’m not on OH’s side at all for shouting but perhaps today has just been that pressure cooker moment for you both.
please put today behind you and curl up on the sofa with a good book or whatever you fancy on the TV.
I for one have benefited from your kind heart and I’m sure I am not alone in saying you are a benefit to the Fruit Loops, huge hugs xxxxxxx
