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?

    well done hun, brave lady. Liberating isn't it.

    Woo Hoo on getting through your treatment, understand how you feel, celebrate when you, hubs and Miss Libby are all feeling a bit better.  Nice it's all done before the school holidays.

    I always said you had good bones, lol. Now tinnitus is something I know about, had it for 20 years, in the main I am used to it now and it does not cause me many problems, only thing that can be a pain is trying to go to sleep, I bought a sound box and I play it for 30 mins, normal sound I use is rainforest, I am then asleep before the 30 mins timer turns it off.

    Hi hun so sorry to hear you are still having problems, lymphedema is something that I have worried about myself. Hope you manage to get referred to the lymphedema clinic quickly.

    Hope your all well, and anyone I have forgotten as I do believe I still have chemo brain. X

  • Great pic! I’m going commando - on the hair front - bought a new straw bonnet too.

    If my car lid is down I get some great looks from people. My lid is off too

    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

  • Thanks for the lovely comments ladies. I went out with a friend last night and did it again, that’s it now the wig is on its stand and that’s where it’s staying. 

    Lindsay that’s a bind if the Herceptin do that to you every time, hope you feel better soon, how many more have you got to go?

    Hope all of you lovely ladies are enjoying the weekend xxxx

  • And it is Monday morning ..........

    13 to go!!! 13 headachy weekends. YEAH!!!! I shall ask when I see the onco on 7th August. what could be done and if he says paracetamol be prepared for him to need surgery. Removal of paracetamol from an orifice.

    Now somehow or other I have NO appts this week. mmmmmmmm

    How the FFFFFFFF did that happen???????. I shall watch and wait for the postman. Surely the NHS are missing me?? 

    Lots planned though. Zippy Zhane and youngest daughter tomorrow and Zippy on Weds at the theatre to see 'What the ladybird heard'. Nutty friends descend Friday and yearly street party on Sunday. The latter may be postponed as for some inconceivable reason the local council need to upgrade our road!!!!!! Strategic patching. Yes that's what the letter said!!!!! God bless them in this heat.

    Hope all of you have good plans, side effects of treatment are gentle and have a hug

    That took 3 goes

    - how are coping with no footie or tennis?? Hope the cricket’s not got to you now Stuck out tongue winking eye Sounds like you’ve got a lovely few days with Zippy planned.

    @jacks77 - lovely photo of you and (assuming) OH. You look really well and your hair is coming just brill to.

    - I really and truly hope you’re managing to find some serious down time amongst the madness of the last few weeks.

    Thinking of you all xXx

  • Life has taken a serious turn for the worst in Leolady Towers ................ I did some ironing today, cleaned bathrooms and gardening. OMG life has found me again. Looking at the cricket later shhhhh don't tell OH.

    You see all this issue with sport has to be blamed on the eldest daughter who ...... if it had a ball in it she played it. So I grew to enjoy being frozen or sweating on the sides of various types of pitches/ courts/fields.

    Hey ho. But I did all these things today so a small chink of normality and no Herceptin Hangover.

    Hugs

    - Oh my word!! What a productive day!! Love a bit of cleaning/ironing as long as the soundtrack’s good!!  The only sport I had to watch was football for a couple of years but as it was an inclusive team they only played and trained for an each week so very doable even in the winter months. How long do you have to have herceptin for?? Glad your head’s clearing xx

  • Well ladies

    So apart from has life fallen into some sort of normal. She is awake a weird o'clock???? Bless her

    Gawd I hope so

    It would be so good to know that cancer poop is moving away and life is falling into a new normal

    My normal today was a theatre visit ......... a theatre filled with 3-5 year olds watching What the Ladybird Heard

    Mmmmmmm zippy was with us! God bless Mr Leo went too

    I am not too sure who laughed more me or Zippy!!!

    I've had the pleasure of re-enacting the show until 8pm. and SHHHHH someone is asleep. BE BLEEPING QUIET in the back there

    Sounds like you are doing well on the getting back to normal life one way or another leo. So what did the ladybird hear?

    Hoping everyone else is getting back to normal too as its been quiet, although wasn't sure if it was still gremlins in the system or not.

    Life goes on here too  fixing toilets this week, new seats and new flush valves fitted, doing all those odd jobs that need doing that dont getvdonemin term time.

    Postponed 6m post op review tomorrow, or something like that anyway, maybe if I'm lucky i may ge to know what the masterplan is going forward, or i may get told the bare minimum  after waiting for a min of 45mins past appointment time as per usual.  Must dust off my bingo card
