The operation

Hi Leolady56.  So sorry to hear you are not feeling great. What a bummer getting pericarditis after all you have been through. Is that as a result of the treatment?  

You have been such an inspiration and support to me so I hope that you in turn are getting support from this community. We are all thinking of you.

i am going for the results of my mastectomy tomorrow and part of the wound is so very painful that I will be glad to get it checked out

Take  Care of yourself Leolady56 and I truly hope that you are back to your normal self very soon

you therefore understand my plight of seeing but not being able to do. Lol

i tidied up the magazine basket and got rid of the old stuff dumped in it. 

You so made me laugh. Us ex education people resemble that remark!!! Suddenly dust, out of date food were sorted . The bottom of the wash basket and bottom of the ironing pile were found. Hand washing was done. Children had cooked from scratch meals and home baked cakes. Oh get over myself I dreamed of doing all of that but normally caught up with tv, friends and waxing!!!

And you lovely made me cry. I said to someone today it’s that old hymn “ If I can help somebody as I go along”. I’m glad to know I have for you.  They were good tears. Mmmm big chat about is it Herceptin that is too be blamed! The jury is still out. Hope all goes well tomorrow lovely. Don’t repeat don’t make light of it. And drop in to tell us the outcome  

I’m better but not yet up to galloping. Trips to Tesco then need 2 hrs sofa surfing. John Lewis collection was drive up step out and drive home. It was like opening a box of tricks .... oh what had I ordered in my fog of bugs last week. Oh look extra chocs. They are in a private drawer. My knicker drawer nooooo telling my team.

GP called today as I was staggering around Tesco. Recent blood tests make her want to get my liver checked out!!! Ultrasound. So now cardiology and liver. No wonder the NHS is struggling I’m emptying their coffers. Sorry for the rest of you. 

Right im asleep shhhhhh don’t tell Mr Leo who is better but half a stone lighter bless him

Right just check out the rest of the site and snuggle down for a night of hot flushes. Wooooo hooo. I’m hoping for 3 but think it could be 6. Any advance on 6???

Oh and give over with the decluttering. REST!!! Or I’ll be round 

I’m really going now .......

Lindsay

Leolady and Lindsay

Hmmm seems quiet here so I will sssshhhh and just say hugs for all who need them...siiiiigh pic wont appear! Maybe its gremlins keeping everyone quiet.

Edit...three copies of pic appeared when posted, attempting to edit, vamooshed them all

Take care

Try the pic again

Edit...hmmm no...try again

Edit...this is silly...have to post an 'empty' space then pic there when post appears but this time it disappeared again so I will give up for now!

Take care

glad it's not just me I had issues with images during the gremlin weeks. One reason why I've never really tried to attempt it again since.

I'm going to try one now though......here goes......

this will be me in a bit as I attempt to get some present wrapping done whilst I have the opportunity to whilst kids are out the house. It gets harder to do as they get older, see the one and only benefit to being off work this time of year for surgery. lol

oooh it worked...go figure that one out then!

I had good news yesterday in that they have managed to rid me of the cancer with my mastectomy but went to see the oncologist today and I need to have chemo which will start after Christmas followed by Herceptin. I am borderline for needing chemo but as it was an aggresssive cancer he advised me to have it to hopefully prevent it from returning. Not sure I really want to go down this road but if in 5 years time I develop cancer again and I had not had chemo now I would never forgive myself.

Has anybody else been in this situation where you have had to make this decision and which way did you go? I am just not sure if I am putting myself through a lot of heartache unnecessarily when I read all your experiences of chemo
