Hi all,

Jac

Lady on another new thread called Extreme Fatigue - mcd52 mentioned she Is on Taxo at present so maybe private message her and she may have good advice 

Take care

Mad day here, must be something in the water. No appoints for a whole week, other than dentist, had to have xrays, may as well get my radiation doses done and dusted i  one go one way or the other.

Nowt to report from me, just tired this week, but oddly quite chipper in a weird way, no doubt normal service will resume next week once back on the bc treadmill properly again

Hope everyone is ok and survived the day

For everyone who has had any kind of hospital visit this week............................

First chemo done today ,feeling ok up to now maybe tomorrow will be another story. 

Managed the cold cap , just have wait and see if it was worth it!

Hope all you lovely ladies are feeling well

Love to all x

Love that Toxophilite! 

Jbee - hope you continue to feel ok. Glad you managed the cold cap, think I will try it when my time comes.

Jolly - chipper is good! Long may it last.

Hope everyone else has had at least one thing to smile about today. Woke up fretting about chemo and a million other things and first time in a while had day at home on my own. But got stuck into cleaning, etc and kept busy and soon perked up. DH just got in and said he feels a biit down, work stress and nothing much to look forward to at the moment with what lies ahead and cancelling holiday etc. I told him there is something good in every day and we just have to change our thinking and look forward to simple things i.e bike ride with Libby, day trip to coast etc. I know what he means though...would love to wake up and it be July with the worst of this behind us.

Lost track a little but does anyone have an appt tmrw? Aliblue you must be about to it half way point...did you get the PICC line sorted in the end?

Jbee66 glad your first chemo day went well, I'm day 9 after first chemo and havent' found it to be too bad yet and also after the cold cap still holding onto my hair but that may change shortly as I think this time next week will know if the cold cap has had any effect, fingers crossed x

JammyR - Don't stress about the chemo, its not as bad as we think and you are doing amazing with keeping positive during this rubbish time! Have you been told its'  the chemo route?Ive taken a leaf out of your book and when I tend to get a bit down I've been keeping busy instead of mulling things over and it seems to be working! I've lost track with where people are up to at the min as ive had a bit of a cold and sore throat but temperature is ok and I've been given some antiseptic throat spray so hopefully il be ok for the next chemo on 7th Feb! Roll on summer and hopefully when we are all over treatment!

Aliblue - you are ahead of me with the chemo hope you are ok!

Hope everyone else on here is ok, love to you all x

Hi Deb

Thats great that you are finding chemo manageable so far. Yes it def helps to keep busy and use up the nervous energy! The surgeon said last week I need chemo, I asked if that was 100% and he explained a little about how they look at % benefit versus risksand that he was sure there would be a good % benefit due to my age and the 2 first nodes. He said the oncologist wil be the one to explain further and answer questions etc so guess nothing set in stone until next Thurs.  As always it's the waiting just want to get it started if its got to start! 

Fingers crossed on the hair front..you would think cold cap would at least slow things down, the 2 people I know personally who have used it have had good results so you may be pleasantly surprised.

Take care.
