AWAKE.........

Awww, lovely, but no, I didn’t get there Northerner , spent much of my time in Borrowdale. 

Now, Catbells…..I got hubs up there on his 60th birthday weekend, in February when we had all 4 seasons on the same day only 3 hours apart!!!

Helen how lovely to see you in Sunny Devon! Not far from me! If only I had known, we could have met up!! 

So I am wide awake as I have got a Gastroscopy tomorrow and although I have had numerous ones before. I still feel really anxious about it! 
I know once I am there and am cannulated I will be fine, it’s just having had one experience where they couldn’t find a vein and I went ahead without sedation, due to feeling I would of wasted their time if I didn’t! I don’t want to find myself in the same situation!

Then Wednesday I see oncologist to sign paperwork to start new treatment! Once I’ve had blood tests and an ECG! 
Feels like the start of another rollercoaster ride, except this one is added to the one I’m already on and I don’t come off it until it stops working!! Assuming I get along with it okay! 

Anyway I really should get some sleep! Tomorrow will be here and over (hopefully) before I know it! 

Apologies for just hopping on and bleeding on about myself. I haven’t had chance to catch up with everyone. I will try to read back through some posts later this week! 

in the mean time. Hope you have a great holiday Snowys Mum 

 Lacomtekp sending best wishes to your son! Sounds like a nasty accident.

 Mag123 hope your mammogram results are in soon and of course ‘all clear’!

 moomy hope you are continuing to heal well.

 WhatHappened sending you a BIG HUG! Also seaspirit44 and Northerner hope you are both doing well.

Think about all you Fruit Loops and really wish we could do another meet up at some point! Love to you all. Sal xxx

Dear LondonLass  so sorry to see you are awake in the night as well. It is natural to be anxious before such a procedure anyway, but after your experience in the past, of course you will be more nervous. I think the way to look at it is that these things happen rarely, so to happen to the same person more than once is extremely unlikely. It reminds me of The Importance of Being Ernest. In fact you won't allow it to happen again. 

I received my mammogram results yesterday and they were clear. To be honest, I've not had a chance to let that sink in properly yet as I'm not feeling well with this heat, on top of which, zi am so anxious about starting a new job that I feel sick! 

We are on the roller coasters with you so please don't feel alone. We are just a few seats back ( probably for the best if I'm feeling nauseous!)

Sending love and hugs xx

Dear LondonLass , will be holding your hand from afar, and know LP will ensure they get a vein for your sedation. 

Healing is going ok and those extra exercises the physio gave me really are stretching out that cording.

 Mag123 , SOOOO glad your results are good. Thinking of you for the new job.

 Mag123 woo hoo good news about the mammo. You're right about the roller-coaster, every one of us is with LondonLass in spirit xx

Next challenge is the new job we will be holding your hand xx

 LondonLass sending lots of love xxx

Thanks Mag123, moomy and Snowys Mum 

Gastroscopy went okay. Took a little while to find a vein, but got there in the end. Actual procedure was okay, I was definitely more aware than last time. However not to the point where I was distressed. Lovely team of ladies doing the procedure! 

Results so far show that the area of Barrett’s has increased in size. So was biopsied again to make sure it’s just Barrett’s!  Results in 2 wks! 

Now it’s on to Oncology appointment tomorrow to sign paperwork for new treatment! Plus possibly the blood test and ECG! We shall see.

Thanks again ladies for all your support. Sal xxx

Glad it’s done but gutted they needed to biopsy again

hope all goes well tomorrow
