AWAKE.........

What happened, family is often like this, agree should not be xxxxxx

Hi jodect talking of weight at oncologist appointment last week the nurse weighing me asked if I usually kept my shoes on for weighing. I said I didn't mind so kept them on. I'd gained so much weight !! She said well maybe take them off then said it made no difference   I said so in other words I'm just too fat ! She just laughed. Hubby found it very amusing but know he's pleased as I was just losing weight every week at diagnosis he was so worried .Now I'm worried weather changing and my trousers from last year will be too small. It's a nice worry to have though xxx

JoDec wishing you a safe journey - nice and steady :))

I love that little picture, slow and steady - thats the way forward for us all. 

Night Night everyone xxxx

Well it's time for a certain Little Chap to be back doing his thing. So here he is........

Little Green rucksack packed and ready to go.

seaspirit44, wishing you well. L.P will be with you overnight. He has all his bits with him, please make sure he brushes his teeth ;-) I'll be thinking of you. YOU CAN DO THIS! xxx

, L.P is happy to pop along to your CT with you. Slow deep breaths. You'll be fine hun. I just hope the wait for results isn't too long! Xxx

In case I don't get on on Tuesday morning,  L.P will be with you every step of the way when you go for your results. So please think of him there in your pocket and let him be a reminder that we are all thinking of you. I apologise now for not putting this message on on Tuesday morning, but I probably won't be online and I didn't want you to think I had forgotten you. I shall be thinking of you and sending lots of love. Xxxxx

Oh and Jo, JoDec  you are a Beautiful woman both inside and out. You go with your head held high, you'll be fine. They loved and supported YOU as a friend and colleague don't think THEY define you from your hair!!! 

Plus, you know when we all said that your hair suits you? Well we meant it, it really does! 

Drive safely xxx

Thank you LondonLass and LP. What would we do without you!! Xxxx

Hi toxophilite (and all the other AWAKE -ers obviously)

As GBear said - similar to my experience. Mine started in my hands and I noticed swelling in my fingers and tingling (maybe like the sandpaper thing?) Quite different to the PN I've had.

What I would say is get it checked sooner rather than later. Your area may be different but for me it was about 6 months between calling my BCN and seeing a lymphoedema specialist. It might not be that but if it is - the sooner they start treatment the better!

Fingers crossed it's something less bothersome though!

@SnowysMum..No,you dont need friends when you have fruitlooos and a guinea pig...my heartfelt sympathies to you......xxx

sorry am having a bit if a break too,but just came in to see your post...anyone who loses friends or esteem will always have my sympathies...BIG HEART ❤️❤️

Jmp, how are you doing? At the hospital yet?

Big hugs xxxxxxx

Morning All, Thanks to all for your love and support. Still crying so went to gp earlier and got seen but not my usual gp... he said you're depressed-- not rocket science.

Anyway he gave me diazepam now for short term. I took a bag with all my morphine tablets and liquids, kept the zapain tablets. I gave them to him as I said during the night I thought I've got enough here to end it all in one go... I wouldn't... but who knows what anyone will do when you're in such a state. Home now and taken the diazepam so hope something stops this constant crying and panic.

Love to you all  and thank goodness you're here.
