AWAKE.........

Sending hugs London Lass - we will all be in your pocket holding your hand going through that door. As you have done for all of us. Thank you sincerely for starting this thread. 
Moomy - nearly done - hang on in there. 
Love to Seaspirit and wishing your son well. 
And to all the Fruit Loops out there ️

Anna - I would really love to get a tattoo as it’s still hard to like myself. But do I have the courage to even start planning ? Would love to see yours in November XX

Hi Jojodot body image takes such a knock, doesn’t it? Sending you love and understanding…

 LondonLass , thinking of you and sending much love for today

Thanks Fruit Loops. Just getting ready now! 8.30 appt! So hopefully all over by 9.30

 LondonLass just came on to wish you luck and let you know I’m thinking of you ️ hope lucky pants behaves himself

 Jojodot it’s a big step, I’ve thought about it ever since the first day after surgery. I’ve switched between just getting the classic areola and something different, it’s such a personal choice isn’t it? The lack of symmetry helped sway me but if I’m honest, my decision was finally made after months of searching images on line, by actually meeting the right tattooist. When I walked in there I was undecided and still fact finding in my mind, but I just thought yes, he gets what I want to achieve. I’m nervous, what if I do regret it? But it feels right for now so  I’ll definitely  share the results here x

 seaspirit44 hope your son is improving xx

Thanks Anna12345 Lucky Pants had a Fabulous time. I left him in the waiting area, helping the men setting up the little coffee shop. Did tell them he’s likely to nibble things, but they said that was fine!

When I got back to him 2hrs later, they said he had eaten through 20 packets of biscuits, but it was okay as he had made everyone laugh. So he could come again

My appointment went well. Injections done and start tablets tomorrow. Got the lecture on watching out for signs of infection etc and emergency numbers.

Will need bloods and ECG done at end of next week and then injections done again on the 9th August. Same day as Zoladex, so that’ll be a great day!! 

Being in the Chemo unit was really tough! Brought back a lot of memories! Th8nk that’s going to be the toughest part in all this, other than possible side effects! Weird how being back in these places is so difficult. (Yes I did shed a tear or two, just not sure why!!) 

Thanks again for all the support. I needed it xxxx

Awww, bless you Sal/LondonLass , has to be really tough firing up memories like that. 

Big hugs and hopes for virtually no effects from the Ribociclib apart from the one effect we all hope for.

Just reading through messages on here ... And sincerely wish each and everyone of you, strength and faith to get past all the things that you are having to personally face.

I do send you all hugs (man hug/group hug/yogi bear hug/etc and lots and lots of love.

I agree with Snowys Mum ,seaspirit44 .

how awful it must be for you to watch.I do hope he will manage,and that you will be able to rise above those awful memories.Sometimes people surprise us in their resilience xxx

LondonLass it is perfectly understandable that you shed a tear or two.Courage Mon brave!!!you will get through this xx

Thinking of you all, especially seaspirit44 worrying about your son and LondonLass as you begin the Ribociclib.

im really tired (but only got one radiotherapy session left) and already know my driver and thankfully it isn’t the one with a fidgety right foot on the gas!

got Henry-dog back from his lovely sitter (she’s a real find!) so extra duties which will prevent me from lazing too much! But I’ve got lots to do anyway (changing beds and cleaning) 

however I’m heading to bed now….

night night Fruit Loops, sleep well and stay safe, plenty of sleepy fairy dust for all who wish

hugs xxx

Good morning.....moomy  don't  do too much! Feeling tired at this point is so normal. In the euphoria of being at the end....don't plan to do too many things. I made that mistake. My OH wanted to treat me and organised a holiday about 4 weeks after. Disaster.....the fatigue hit me like running into a brick wall. I couldn't do anything when it came. It was nothing like being tired. So just be careful......rest when you feel you need too. It's  ok.....

 LondonLass ....I hope you had a good night. I  am hoping the silence last night means sleep......

 seaspirit44 .....thinking of you and hoping for your son

@ everyone else......I have to go. Mum is calling for help. Take care all. I do think of you often even when I'm busy!
