The operation

Oh JammyR  Your sure allowed moody ranting days. There would not be a person on here who would not agreee with at at some atge of this dastardly disease!!!! You have every right to rant and scream as much as you like!

WELL DONE for standing your ground and getting your 'goodwill gesture' as they like to call it, as if doing you a big favour!! You should name and shame them.

Deb09  Great about the hair extensions, you might also be interested in Heathers Hair @ www.heathershair.co.uk

It is run by volunteers and they sew human hair on to soft headbands to wear under hats. All you pay is P&P and any donation is voluntary. I sent for 2 and received them very quickly, they have to be trimmed and styled when you get them.

Here's a pic of the styles and colours, worth a look.

have a good day xx

Taralou- Thanks what a fab company, I will have a look and well worthy of a donation, it' so heart warming to find people out there wanting to help people in our position, thanks for the info xx

Hi Deb09  You're more than welcome. It's what we do best on here giving out advise and info!!

Yes it's worth a look, I bought 2 different blonde colours (not a lot of choice in colour)  but they are real hair so you can dye them straighten etc. I bought a full all round one and the fringe was really thick and my hairdresser cut and thinned it out. I must say she wasn't impressed until she had finished styling and realised they were not bad!! The other has just hair at the back so didn't need anything doing to it.

I have a wig but unsure if I will really get on with it so bought these as a standby, look fine under hats.

Taralou- I'm the same the wigs I tried didn't seem to sit right on my head and couldnt really find one at the time i was hapoy with so these i think woukd be more suitable for me! Thanks again Deb x

Oooooh hello ladies, a light, a tiny flickering light can be seen at the end of my tunnel. A corner has everso slightly been turned. 

taralou Thank you for you’re ‘me not being a wimp’ comment, I am suitably reprimanded. 

 thanks for the support, I think I tried to jump off the roller coaster on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and yesterday, only problem is the damn safety bar kept me in my seat so I had to ride it out and I didn’t like it one bit. One more week of RT for you, hope the SE stay minimal, I really do. 

Leolady56  I can just see you galloping up to my front door, dragging me off to my next chemo, me grappling hold of the door knocker for dear life lol. 

 thank you for your kind words. Having you and all of these wonderful ladies on here just gets me through some days. I know you’ve had such a tough time of this rubbish too, so thank you again for your support. 

Deb09 I hope your SE are being kept at bay still.

JammyR Well done on getting every penny you can back, where’s the bloody human touch in all of this, seriously do they not know what BC does to our lives and those around us. 

As to the savoury food, I get you!! I am sweet toothed but not now, give me a hot sausage roll, curry, bacon, pizza, crisps anything will do. Chocolate and sweet foods do nothing for me, can’t drink my coffee, infact other than ginger and lemon infusion haven’t touched a hot drink since my first chemo. I actually get into a panic about food because when I need it, I need it NOW!! I’m sure I will put on some weight but I actually don’t care, plenty of time to lose it once this is all sorted. 

Well on that note I think sorting dinner is next on the agenda lol. 

Love and hugs to you all and thank you for being there xxxxxxx

jacks77   will you PLEASE stop talking about food, whether savoury or sweet !!! I can currently eat for England and I have had to tell    off today as well as she was talking about sausages and egg butties my mouth is watering just writing this!!!!

waiting for DH to come home and cook me some delicious food, home made meatballs and pasta, sensible good ha ha 

Thank you ladies....happy to report an hour with Libby has calmed me right down. Bit the bullet and told her about cancelling the holiday, tears as expected but she blew me away with her maturity and said most important I am fully better before go on a plane. Promised lots of school hol treats to cheer her up but when it comes to it the biggest treat of all for her is being allowed have a giant yorkshire pudding and gravy in the lounge watching Blue Peter which is what she is doing now!! 

Glad you are feeling brighter Jackie it is so hard all this but hopefully you can have some normal days ahead. Shame we don't all live nearer as you, me and Deb could meet up for savoury food feasts! I know exactly what you mean about panicking and obsessesing over food...I wake up, eat breakfast and plan lunch lol!! I am couple of stone overweight to start with though so fighting to keep weight at least stable. Just looking back at your post and you've got me thinking about pizza now!! Shepherds pie for tea though with some green veg. Do you find you want more flavour than usual too?...For some reason I have started wanting mustard and chilli in things too.

Thanks again for your support ladies x

Right that’s it time for a Council Meeting of The Operation Thread

All sitting on the carpet nicely, legs crossed and fingers on lips. 

JammyR I said nicely young lady.  don't put your fingers there dear. jacks77 good girl now leave that scabby knee alone sweetie.taralou now put your knitted dolly back dear. Deb09,  and  what have I said about sitting together?  and nice sitting, I wish others were like you dearies. Yes Jacmatholmad and  someone does have to sit at the back lovelies.

As from today:

• Everyone must agree to post regular rants about BC and those who think they know something about BC
• Regular rants about BC must include diagnosis rubbish, treatment rubbish, appointment rubbish and rubbish rubbish
• Everyone can call themselves; wimps, pathetic, stupid, gorgeous and sexy etc . BUT must never ever believe it. Apart from the last 2.
• Everyone has to giggle about debacles regarding: urine samples for pregnancy, knickers disappearing down legs, knitted knockers or not, wigs or not, follicle failures top and bottom, and other potentially embarrassing situations
• Everyone can come and go as they please.
• Everyone can stay at home and lick their wounds (metaphorically speaking) and have a meltdown when needed
• But everyone will be there for the duration and wait to support, hug and send positive thoughts when needed

Failure to agree means: no playing in the sandpit or water tray, playgrounds holding my hand (Y6 boys used to love that one), skipping rope and footballs will be confiscated, no films on the last day of term.

There Mrs Leolady has spoken. Now hands up in the air nicely, if you agree.

Good.

Hope this has made you smile lovely ladies.

Big hugs from me and sorry if I missed someone off the register

Leolady 

Glad you're feeling brighter after grumps earlier,jammy,  although noone blames you for a grumpy day, fully entitled to those.

Just a quick pop in as lurgy still in full force, today has been ongoing sinus headaches, which meant i really couldn't be a***d going to rt today, obvs i did, but just wanted to curl up on sofa, was good its 2 days hol from work, but think that has thrown my rt day routine out the window, which prob didn't help either.

DH was off to tennis tonight, and then asked over tea if i wanted to come too....wtf? Because I'm obvs firing on all cylinders here, lurgy or no lurgy, and surely if i was up to going to tennis, I'd also be up to hockey coaching and training, which i haven't done since Nov. I do wonder what goes through his head sometimes and if he really realises what effect BC has on you, no matter how much you seem to be 'well' 

Anyway gripe over, I'm off to indulge in mind numbing, don't need to pay attention, trashy tv whilst he's out

Lol!! Love this Leolady!! I always tried to be good but got told off for talking - A LOT!!

Good news today....MRI of spine showed something with a very long name begining with an M  that I can’t remember in my post chemo fog. BUT it is neither cancerous nor pre-cancerous but benign!!!! Thank God xxx
