So in   5 days time I have the operation to remove the tumour - randomly known as Ian.

Why in the last few days have I become incredibly tired and emotional ??
Did anyone else feel the same?
  • Good luck and Monday, and fingers crossed that they get it all this time:) x

  • Hi all,

    Massive apologies for my AWOL-ness got myself locked out of site for ages and been beyond busy work-wise.

    just wanted to wish you all the best for Monday, another hurdle will be over and hopefully it will be last one. Sending lots of love

    so pleased scan was clear, you must be so relieved.

    you have had such a raw deal and still cant get over how they missed the dvt for so long. Everything crossed the lymph team treat you like bloomin royalty and you dont have any more hassles.

    All ok in jammy land. Juggling work, school hols, childcare and tamoxibollocks side effects. The year us whizzing by which is scary as mammo time will be here again before know it. Am supporting my boss through her BC poop and also I have been doing a development course in London with work the last few months and one of the ladies in my study grp was diagnosed last wk too.

    Will post again over weekend xxx Love to everyone xxx

  • Sorry just read that back  and doesnt make sense...had a g &t lol. Jacks I meant unbelievable how they missed the dvt then changed minds when you had classic lymphedema symptoms all along!

    fingers crossed all ok with you. Sure it is just precaution and hope they can help with the arthritis.

    My knees seem to be getting stiffer (not painful just very stiff when been sitting down and walking upstairs) I assume its ongoing tamoxifen effects. Still see onco every 3 months for aspirin trial so will mention next time.

  • Good morning ladies. 

     I can only imagine what it’s like for you to be going back in for yet another surgery, my heart goes out to you. They need to be extra thorough and get that margin squeaky clean this time. I will be thinking of you on Monday and as soon as you’re able to, pop a message on here so that I know you’re ok. 

    Fantastic news that your scan was all clear. Stress throughout this whole journey we go through must play a major part on our bodies so hopefully with that fear gone you will be able to relax a bit more now. 

    Good to hear from you. It sounds like you have one very very busy schedule. It’s sad to read that ladies around you have been diagnosed as I’m sure it must bring those awful memories back. My DIL’s friend has just been told she has BC and she’s 28, I don’t know any of the detail but being so very young just doesn’t bear thinking about. Hopefully your joint stiffness will ease up, I still struggle with Letrozole but as time goes on my body seems to be accepting of the fact that I’m 90 years old before my time lol. 

    Well I had my PET-CT. scan on Tuesday and now it’s a waiting game until next Thursday to see my consultant for the results. I’ve had a bad feeling about this one all along and can’t shift the bit of doom and gloom hanging over me. As to the Lymphoedema, my consultant is not referring me to the clinic until the scan results are back because he said he feels there’s an underlying problem causing that and the pain and lack of movement in my arm. I guess that’s why I’m feeling so concerned about the results, time will tell and on Thursday I will know one way or the other, just can’t wait to get it over with.

    i spent a day in London yesterday with my DIL and 2 of my granddaughters, we took them to Madame Tussaud’s and one of the L&N  (Elan) cafes. They have hundreds of flowers over the walls and mirrors all in pinks, very girly and they loved it, well worth a visit if there’s one near any of you.

    Sending love to you all Jackie xx

  • We are here for you. Got your back and everyone else still embroiled in the poop

    Fill those days with fun and laughter

    I’m back to GP tomorrow as lingering pericarditis 

    Still standing though.

    Heard from mrsox after a scare that turned out to be scaring she’s been discharged and back to being her naughty self!

    Hugs to each and every one of you
