So in  5 days time I have the operation to remove the tumour - randomly known as Ian.
jacks77 rocking that look lovely. And what will you look like this time in2019. GORGEOUS
oh do I not love a vent. Please tell me you live by the seaside. Oh I do love to live beside the seaside. So do you produce an amazing B&B????
nope you couldn’t. I feel like Dot Cotton etc etc from a soap opera
see the best people get married at Easter. Mr L has been told his plan bleeping gawd help him if he gets it wrong. He has such an arsy wife. Hey up PICC line you are pushing the NHS to the limits gal. Remember my daughter needs her pay rise and I need my loans . Big hugs to Libby. Think we need to create a thread for her. To be honest Junior Mac is not such a silly idea. MMMM I shall see what those in the know say
Must do that sleep thing again.
This morning had that awful ... I really don't want to wake up and face the day
LLLLLL oh hell
Life is like a boxing match, defeat is declared not when you fall ..... But when you refuse to stand up again ....... So, I get knocked down but I get up again. x
Easter was very late the year we got married, we were married on palm sunday then spent 2 gloroius weeks over easter in the South of Fance. Finances and chemo will stop us doing anything exciting this year although hubby is off work that day and towards end of cycle so the 3 of us might be able to go for a walk through woods at the hotel we had our reception at.. bit of an anniversary tradition.
God knows whats got into me today but blubbing now thinking of wedding day... reckon chemo messing hormones around or something.
Paid NHS back a little today to offset PICC you will be pleased to hear.. told onco to take few bits off my chemo take home pack I dont use or have loads of. Prob sabe them about £1.49 but every little helps.
Really am going to sleep now... somebody small fell asleep in our bed earlier after bit of an extended reading session so hubby relegated to spare room. Rare she is allowed or wants to sleep in here these days but odd time she does if I cant sleep I hold her hand and instantly feel calm... sure its supposed to me who comforts her but ....
Morning all,
Leolady56 words fail me and you know I can talk....will find them again for our gallop tomorrow don't you worry.
jacks77 you look stunning
Deb09 Aspen JammyR keep going strong ladies and to all others with appointments, chemo, rads and the rest of the BC bol*****
how you doing lady? Have you attenptd Hockey or any exercise other than walking yet?
I had a disastrous go at running yesterday, hmmmm maybe a double sports bra or might just have to give myself another couple of weeks for rads boob to settle down. Long chat with BCN about the alien seroma. We're giving it another couple of weeks then she's booking me in with the surgeon again.
PS if you have rads DO NOT shave your armpit......may be obvious but no one told me not to and I didn't really think about it! Thankfully it's not sore but is the only part of me to peel!!!
love and hugs
Leolady, I don't live by the sea, but I love it. As soon asI get the opportunity I'm in it, swimming, never mind how cold.Â
Because of last years' little episode with bowel cancer we have not had  holiday since 2016. So can't wait till my first sea swim in 2018!
I also used to windsurf and scuba dive. Can't do either now, but have wonderful memories, glad that I took the window of opportunity when  I did. Carpe diem!
You sound so fed up. Hope things get sorted now you are out of WAZAK's clutches.
Hugs for you and everyone going through procedures, ops, scans, chemo, other horrible drugs and waiting for results xxxxxx
Onwards and flatwards (don't do hills) and keep walking if you can!
Jac, haven't shaved my armpits for 8 1:2 years since axillary clearance!
Sounds awful, but the surgery took most of the hair follicles so it does not matter.
Sorry about the running, so annoying.
Hugs xxxx
Onwards and flatwards (don't do hills) and keep walking if you can!
- I'm in Edinburgh now but originally from the Borders! I'll send you a friend request xx
Patience and faith
Lovely to catch up with everyone on here. Too many to name check but just to say that wig is lovely, Jacks77. All the best, Jammy, with PICC line insertion today and chemo tomorrow. Leolady - that's what a sensible and caring conversation with an onco team sounds like. WAZAKs be damned! All the best to everyone else. Slowly pulling myself out of SE yuckiness (day 9). Friend coming to visit today so looking forward to that as I'm a bit fed up of these 4 walls, other than school run (where I stay in the car) and walking the dog round the field. Hoping to break free into the big wide world this weekend!!!
Linda xx
Patience and faith
Good afternoon all!!Â
Aspen - hope you enjoy your friend coming over to see you. It's good to have company and listen to tales from somebody else's life for a bit.
JammyR - hope PICC was straightforward and isn't too sore or achey.
Well, I managed a trot round TK Max yesterday then slept as shattered and been out for a walk with a coffee & scone halfway round today, having a nap in a minute mind!! Enjoying being free of horrid s/e for a few days before I'm chemoed again. Saw oncologist on Tuesday who suggested a reduced dose for next time....I'll take that!! I'm worried it's not enough as she'd previously said I need full dose. Confused.com!!
Hope everyone as ok as can be xxx
