Love those pics Leolady! Xx

Jacks 77 - Sorry to hear you’re struggling to. Hope it soon passes and leaves you to build up your strength again.

JammyR - Maybe Libby was a bit delicate as she’s ready for Easter Hols and some mummy settee time. It appears her appetite is ok!! Lol!!

LeoLady - Just seen that you’re off to Newmarket....some serious galloping to be done there eh?? Just avoid competing with the gee-gees, they might beat you!! Enjoy your much needed caravan time with Mr Leo and charge your batteries.

Well I was awake at 1.15 as steroids have woken my brain up!! Having a Horlicks and fruit bread as tummy also awake & rumbling!! Neutraphils too low for chemo so had them retaken this evening. Hoping and praying they’ve increased enough since Saturday’s sample. None of us want it but don’t want delays either - just to get them crossed off asap!! Monday was a very busy day so hoping those cells were busy to!!

Morning all,

what a wet horrible day, I'm back on school run on mornings like this as the girls are just too wet by the time they cycle to school. Thankfully do a  lift share so don't have to pick them up too. In fact this afternoon I'm having a massage courtesy of My Cancer My Choices which is Berkshire Healthcare charity. ever hopeful alien seroma can be massaged  into submission!!

jacks77,  JammyR sending hugs today to try to ease your pain and SEs. . i know what you mean about delays, rads was for me due to seroma issues and it's back to that waiting again when you just want it all over. and I wasn't feeling ill just frustrated so my heart goes out to all of you.

Deb09 am hoping as as I see no early morning chat from you that you may  have had some relief from the pains. Glad those wheat bags arrived quickly for you

Leolady56 safe galloping travels, enjoy 

I had mild panic yesterday, a dog jumped up at me whilst out ( no problem) but it scratched hand on dodgy arm and although really tiny im pretty good at instigating histamine response so hand swelled up over the knuckle! I have never walked so quickly home, washed it, put on the germoline and an antiseptic plaster. Thankfully all back to normal pretty quickly but I did worry about the lymphedema implications.....joys of th future!!

love to you all

Bigguy -  Fingers and toes crossed for you that you can go ahead with the dreaded chemo, is this your last one? Il be so relieved for you if it is, you are nearly there now! X

JammyR - I hope the chemoed feelings are subsiding a bit now for you too and you Jacks77

Leolady - Have a fantastic gallop lovely lady you deserve it!

Well my night has been interesting, Harry came home from the cadets and told me he felt sick, he then threw up and dh cleaned up and lay with him! I then felt sick and projectile vomited but managed to get to the bathroom! Surprisingly since I've been sick my pains have eased quite a bit! My temperature is ok do I need to inform the chemo suite or just see how I go as I actually feel better! Maybe I've thrown up the chemo out of my system lol! Poor Dh is shattered being nurse maid all night! Harry is off school today with dad lying with him and I'm keeping separate in case it's a bug etc so isolation in bed for me! Im' still achy but it feels more manageable today! 

I might at some point be able to post some positive comments on here soon as at the min I'm like the bleeping from reaper! Love to you all Deb xx

Not those bloomin neutrophils again... really hope you have given them a good shake up yesterday and good to go today. Delays just drag it out.. I really want chemo and rads finished before school summer hols think will have a week or 2 spare but need things to stay on track. Is this number 5 for you? Very slowly it seems like those of us on CT are getting there. Sending all the positive vibes I can.

Morning love. Absolutely love that quote.... so very apt for this group. Its horrible here too. Luckily Libby goes to school with childminder today... we have kept her there whilst I am on sick so at least on those 2 days every week  childcare sorted if I am not up to school runs. Its so typical to get scratched on the arm you had op on. Sure prompt action with the antiseptic will have sorted it. I actually keep forgetting to do exercises etc feel like neglecting the poor lymph arm lol! Pre chemo I was on the ball with it but guess my mind on other things now and I have added bonus of PICC line in other arm now so have to be careful with that too!

Deb09 

How are you today?

Well better get in shower... one of my PTA buddies is dropping 40 eggs off at 9 for me to hard boil....for the Easter event tomorrow we need 120 in total so sharing the load and makes me feel like contributing to the day even though won't be going. Hubby thinks I should dip out of everything and and rest rest rest but a batch of baking and boiling some eggs isnt much and passes an hour on. 

Take care everyone.

Good morning all you lovely ladies,

It's a wet old day in Cumbria. 

I hope everyone is coping with where ever they are in their treatment . For those of us that are jumping on that bleeping chemo train,  good luck and hope the side effects are minimal.

JammyR and Jacks77 i hope you are both doing ok and kicking those SE away.

Good luck Big guy with your last chemo .

Deb09 you have had a rough week but it sounds like you coming through it. Hope you and your son feel better . Your hubby sounds like he's a great nurse.

Leolady the weekend away in the caravan was just the tonic I needed . Wanted to stay longer. Hope you have a nice time.

Well my holiday is to end this Thursday, I am dreading the T, it sounds horrendous. I am going to ask for strong painkillers just in case. Going to carry on with the cold cap although my hair had not done great but I have enough hair to display from under a hat. Which I prefer to the wig. Can't believe I am happy when it's cold just to wear a hat !

Keep you posted

Big hugs Jan xx

Deb09 

Just seen your update.... must have been posting at same time.

Well you are definitely going through it at the moment... last thing you need is a poorly twin and a bug in the house. To be honest I generally do call chemo unit about things like that... if you have only been sick the once and feeling ok with no temp I would guess they will say just rest and see how you go but maybe worth ringing just for advice. Might be coincidence that Harry is being sick, yours may just be reaction to all the pain meds or the result of the pain itself. Anyway good that you arent in as much pain now, really hoping that is over for you and the tummy thing clears itself up quickly.

You must be desparate for a long sleep love... hope both you and Harry can have a sofa day with DH playing nurse.

Sending love xx

Jbee66 - Jan I hope all goes well for you today lovely lady, il be keeping my achey limbs crossed for you lol! We are getting there, go smash it! Big hugs Deb xx
