@aliblue - Thank you for the hugs. I’m doing ok and feel a bit of a fraud sitting in the settee watching Royal documentries with cuppas provided on demand!! I won’t be telling my family that though. Lol!!
Can you remember how long after chemo you had RT discussion?? Hope you’re managing to send chemo se packing for good. Xxx
JammyR - I had a little chuckle when my drain and I went for a wee yesterday when I thought of you not dropping it in the loo!! Well ANC has been ok so far. I‘m on the settee watching royal TV while the boys in my life fifa. I’m provided with regular cuppas and feel a bit of a fraud as doing much better than I thought I would be, especially after my last op. Surgeon was happy with op & will get results in 3 weeks. Had a meltdown on the table as worried if more cancer would be found. Consultant held my hand and was so lovely. Met 2 ladies on the ward who are just at the begining of thier journey which was good. Hope you’re feeling a little better and slowly recovering. I’ve still got sore bones & skin almost 4 weeks on, just niggly but still there. We will beat this, we really will. Hope you’ve managed to get out & about today.
jacks77 - Thank you for taking the time to message when you’ve got so much on!! Hope you’ve managed to do something this weekend to occupy yourselves. Tuesday will soon come round and hopefully put your minds at rest.
I’m checking my hair frequently to!! It is coming back but can’t decide what colour it wants to be!!
Thanks Linda Aspen. I actually feel much much better than I did after lumpectomy, even managed to do my exercises twice already. Drain not filling much at the mo but nurse said it will from tomorrow. I’m still bugged with chemo se, mainly the bone pain, taste issues & fatigue :-( I’m sure it will leave us very soon.
It’s good you’ve managed to get some counselling through MacMillan, I hope it helps. Keep going we’re nearly there now xx
I am so very sorry you’re having such a terrible time with your treatment. It sounds ghastly but, as usual, you are making light of it and laughing at it. You are such an inspiration to others and I echo others comments that you are genuinely the life and soul of this thread. Very best of luck with the next stage and let’s hope the specialists have got it right!
 When the photos come back, we would love to see a photo of your wig. It sounds gorgeous.Â
Going to attempt a catch up but apologies if I've missed anything...only just getting back to being myself after week of crappy SE and general BC fed up-ness!
Hope the physical effects of last weeks CT are wearing off and you are getting your head around all the developments.... looks like you will beat me to RT start line. What amazing newe about a potential Zippy filled year and Zippy sibling, so pleased for you and will be a fab way to move forward post BC crappy crap.
Yes it was our Libby free day yesterday. She had a blast doing Harewood House Girlguiding Challenge badge whilst we had a very yummy pub lunch and long siesta. Also picked up a bike rack for car as part of the master plan to get family Jammy active once the Drs have finished messing with jammys boob.
No need to feel a fraud.. you have had a big old op so stay on that sofa and let your team look after you. Sure results will show that CT blasted any nasty cells away and you can put another huge bit of treatment behind you. Are you having RT too?
Another day post CT lovey so hopefully the lingering SE are easing and you are having good weekend with the twins.
How is cycle 5 going? Hang in there...think you and I are bringing up the rear with our CT but May seems to be passi g quite quickly thankfully.
No news from me, feeling better and just about to watch Libby swim then little trip to garden centre this aft methinks for some strawberry plants. Hoping for uneventful 12 days in lead up to final CT.
Hi hun, I had my RT discussion with my onco the week before my last chemo. I signed the paperwork then, it just all got put on hold for 3 weeks as I had to have a brain scan and wait for results. Paperwork only got put in 2 weeks ago.
And a big huggy hiya from the south filled with sunshine. I can see it from my bed!
12 hrs sleep and could just about another 12 hrs. ZZZZZZZZ. Though did just scoff beans on toast. I am so in to toast at the moment. Gawd this is worse than the preggy stuff we put up with. We have been good about carbs due to Mr Leo's diabetes and now I crave carbs - so sod it he can go with out but not me!!!!!!
Yes JammyR time for someone to leave our boobs alone - pervs!!! Though guess some would be happy to have them back. :( sad face. Final CT that must sound and feel like bliss. The crappity crap bit will be the last. So we will pop round in July for a cream tea?? I'll supply the cream. My baking days are limited, as is my ability tbh.
think if you added the number of times you played nurse to your crew they would owe you quite a few sessions. It will do them good they'll make fine people with their future partners.
Well hope the sun is in the sky for you all and the sun is shining on you giving you the power of 'kick ass BC' day. If not just gently flip a finger at it
Listening and singing to Steve Wright, windows thrown wide and reading posts from you ............... bliss
I must just say Leolady that you are an inspiration to everyone who`s suffering cancer and read`s your posts. I don`t know how you manage to stay so upbeat..
I`ve just finished my 6th and, hopefully, final round of chemo and feeling like I`ve been hot by a bus and here you are telling everyone how much you`re enjoying Steve Wright on the radio and tucking into toast ! Hahaha..........................truly inspirational, please keep it up you give all your readers a smile and a much needed boost, always !
