     - good luck for today - hope everything goes well! 

    Hope everyone has been as well as possible - sorry for the absence of support from me - have been away in deepest Devon looking after my Mum - no internet there!

     As I was taking my Mg supplement this evening, I thought of you. How are your magnesium levels?

  • Quite liked this one, 

         and this...

    How long can we use this as an excuse???

    Mind you, in my case I think it is the lack of oestrogen, and letrozole that make me permanently forgetful (it look me three attempts to spell  permanently correctly)......

    Happy Monday everyone.

    I am off work recovering from my oophie op till next Fri - at the very least. So I am obviously putting this time to good use by sorting, cleaning, packing....OK....I am sat on my arse playing on my laptop :)

  • Hi , that sounds like productive use of your time and no doubt in line with your surgeon's wishes! Lol. Xx

    Hi , I am in for a blood test again today, as I am twitching and cramping up in my arms! I have been taking oral supplements but have remained low at 0.6 but not severe. I think it might have dropped though, so will know later today or tomorrow. I start my Herceptin again soon, (onc appt on Fri), so need to get this up again as the 'uzumabs can cause the mag wasting. Fingers crossed! Xx

    , I thought of you at 4:30 this morning when I couldn't sleep! I was desperate to pick up the iPad, but it disturbs Dec and he is a moody so and so if I wake him up, lol. Hope you managed to rest well, as it doesn't look like you slept much at all. Xxx

    , good luck today with the chemo! I don't envy you, but you seem to be getting through it so well. Good luck to others too; just hang in there and keep going. It'll be done before you know it! Xxx 

    I am seriously back at work! All the accounts with real problems seem to have been dumped on me with big sighs of relief from those that were looking after them! I already feel bombarded with emails and actions! What have I done? I don't have a clue how I will feel through rads. Fingers crossed that I can cope! Xx

    None of us wanted to be in this group, but we are glad we're not alone.

    Diagnosis 2/8/17 IDC Her2+, 22mm, with spread to several lymph nodes. TCHP chemo started 23/8/17, Mx with immediate, temp recon 24/1/18, rads 20/3 to 10/4/18, Herceptin by IV until Nov 18. RR Mx Jan 23. Still waiting for reconstruction, but opting for simple implants, as opposed to Diep, due to long waiting lists for diep.

    Doh! Post got eaten!

    I am tearing up...somebody missed me : )

    I am still here and OK. My man liked the cottage, it is less than 5 mins walk away. Bit trashed by last tenant but tidy-upable. Few steps down to back yard but handrail so could manage.

    Now we are waiting in Citizens Advice for info on Housing Benefit as he will need to be able to afford the difference between HB and the actual rent.. will they deduct £14 for second bedroom from the HB they will pay etc.

    Shattered yesterday from carrying shopping and housework.... scraping carpets with feet while wearing trainers...this gets my and dog hair up prior to hoovering. Fan for butt n thighs etc but exhausting.

    Man made a curry feast... Yum but ...every pot, pan, utensil in world used...never heard of wash as you go : )

    So tired was in bed before 10 and slept!!!!

    Awwe pals dog got more painkillers and Devils Claw etc but if still limping can't do Crufts. Pal is doing well as she is making list of more houses  to view.

  • Nice you are ok ....your memes are so funny(are they called memes?)well there can’t  be any better place to be on your bottom playing with your laptop...but I do know it does have a habit of keeping you away from real work...and..and interesting theme on memeory loss...I hadn’t realised that being on Letrozole affected it...THAT explains everything....xx

    have been to Knit and Natter today...and then went with my friend to get a whole lot of groceries(she is so kind,I don’t have a car)and am now going to batten down the hatches till the weekend xxSee Ya xx
