Thanks Northerner however my treatment won’t start until after I see Oncologist again at the end of June! We go away for 2 wks holiday in June for Mums Birthday and then on my return the following week I see him!
Now part of me is pleased that I have another few weeks to get used to the idea of this new treatment plan. However it’s not really working like that, in fact it’s been the complete opposite. It’s given me too long to think about things and ‘worry’ about things. Even though as moomy said the thought is by far usually worse than reality!
So I shall do my best to try and put it to the back of my mind for a bit. It’s not like I’m counting down the weeks……… 4wks till holiday, 2wks on holiday then 5days until appointment on return……. No definitely not counting!!
See, I’ve still got my sense of humour!!
Sending lots of Love to ALL the Fruit Loops. Night night Everyone. Sleep Well xxx

We have to be patient, having a life on hold is hard. You will be on the other side of this and have more time to work out what you want to do. Prayers and hope for it not to be too difficult for you. Xxx
Dear LondonLass , please be kind to yourself! And do try and not overthink all this. And just because you reacted poorly to Tamoxifen, it doesn’t automatically follow that you’ll react poorly to the next med they try? (Yes I know I’ve said it before!)
just take it in your stride as we know very well that you’re SO capable of doing.
lots of big gentle hugs xxx

LondonLass I agree with your memes!(is that what you can them?Try to do things to take your mind off things in your holiday…I know it is easier said than done…
Everyone…Try to get out and take advantage of this warm weather….if you can.My cousin and I visited Compton Verney yesterday and these are the grounds….xxtheses schoolchildren were helping to push a wheelchair with a disabled child in it…so Sweet xxx

Ooooh, Compton Verney Violetsniff ! It was an abandoned old stately home when I was a kid in Wellesbourne, very near. I’m glad it’s flourishing now as an arts centre.

Hello, nice to see you posting, a holiday to look forward to sounds great, dealing with niggling intrusive thoughts not so great. As yiu know my daughter has OCD which is all about intrusive thoughts. She's been working with an OCD coach on acceptance of thoughts, not trying to distract or bury them as that doesn't work. I've been trying this when I can't sleep - yiu know when you are shattered fall into bed & ping your brain is now going to replay the day, week, month, year and highlight 'what ifs". I'm clearly not very good at us as I still don't sleep.
