The operation

Deb09

So pleased to hear you are doing well, yes I would have run out that hospital as well. You have been through so much it's now time for you to enjoy you family life without having all that poop to worry about.

Wow, well at least you now know the pain was not in your head. Not sure how they go about treating that, I had a 3 small clots  around my pic line while having chemo and they just treated me with removal of pic line and injections into my tummy.  Hope you get some pain relief soon.

Well I am not doing bad myself, still struggling to loose some weight but everyone keeps telling me not to worry it will go.

I had been having some pain twinges deep inside my arm pit so after waiting a couple of weeks to see if it would go I called the breast care nurse.  They got me in to see the surgeon a week later, he had a good old feel about and then said as a precaution he wanted a ultra sound, thought I would have to come back for it but he managed to squeeze me in on the day.  It would seem he was looking for any lymph nodes he may have missed but there were none.  He said I had lots of scar tissue and that was causing my pain.  He said I should use ibuprofen gel 3 times a day.  This did help but I dont want to use that for a long period of time. I have a full body massage and MLD alternate weeks and she has been working the area under my arm and it is feeling better slowly  I also bought some CBD Balm and have been using this twice a day instead of ibuprofen, it works just as well as ibuprofen and it makes me feel a bit better being plant based.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Not good to be back for some but good we are still throwing out the love

Hi Ladies

Well it’s back to silly o’clock for me writing this......sleep isn't coming easy again.

Thank you for being so supportive as always, it’s strange having the old gang back but a true comfort. 

The site is very different now and I don’t really know how to navigate it. No daily updates still but at least it seems the emails are coming through for this thread.   

oh I really laughed at the thought of you escaping and still having the paper around your neck. You’ve had so much to go through so I’m pleased that it wasn’t anything to worry about. 

Please keep posting with any update on Lenny Jr Jr, oh and I think you deserve ‘the pants’ more than I do, well maybe we could share them, of course with a machine wash before we swap. 

Good to hear things are going well for you. The weight thing is an issue for me too and I put it down to the Letrozole because even joining a gym and adding so much more exercise than before even having BC and I can’t shift a pound of it. 

JammyR Other than the extra work load, Brownies, school runs etc etc I hope you manage to find some time for yourself too.

Leolady56 Hope the weather has improved

Well I’ve sort of given in and I’m booked in for some counselling at my BC hospital. I often thought about doing so during treatment but never quite got there. This time I feel it may help me as this is going to be another lengthy journey and I feel even less in control than with my original diagnosis. I am very lucky because they have fitted me in straight away and my first appointment is on Wednesday. I’m seeing my consultant on Thursday and will hopefully have a clearer picture as to what happens next. There’s a little bit of me that wants to say ‘I told you so’ but I like him so will keep my thoughts to myself. 

Im in for half a day on the 6th to have a local anaesthetic for nerve injections which will hopefully relieve the pain and make things a bit more bearable. It seems my car is back on auto pilot and those car parking fees soon add up, still think it should be free!!!!

Hope you’ve all had an amazing Bank Holiday weekend so far Jackie xx

No bank holiday here, hope those that had one enjoyed it. Still no appointment letter. Not being very patient just want it to arrive so can get the ball rolling for LJJs comeuppance. Never did i think I'd be desperate for a letter of doom to hit the doormat

Just the pits waiting for appointment letters and yup it does turn to desperation, like you I thought those days were truly behind us. 

I hope you’re wait is over soon and you can get rid of LJJr once and for all. Keep posting, I’m checking in daily incase I don’t receive a notification. Xxxx

Helloooo!

Fantastic to be getting  notifications at last... but only for this thread so far.

Dreadful news that some of us are in the thick of it...AGAIN 

I currently look like a Dalmatian as I am covered in bruises...from moving house! Yes, for those who were following the saga, I was about to move into the cottage next door to my man but after months of it getting sorted, out of the blue and without telling me, the company sold it to another agent!!

I was not a happy bunny but after months, fate rolled the dice again...and a vehicle chased another and rammed it off the road and into my front door. I wasn't there at the time which is just as well as it took out my door and the next and the wall in between!!! Building is propped up and boarded up as there is nothing to hang a door on till building work is complete, but the incident has propelled me into taking the plunge and moving into a cottage.

Its minutes walk from my flat above a shop sooo no moving van or hired muscle...nope...everything carried down lots of stairs and moved on a tiny trolley or in the odd friendly car boot... hence the many bruises.

Oh boy...how do I have so much stuff??? Well enough of me whittering on, the new place will be lovely once the 'unpacking' is sorted and I get used to the extra £30 a week rent gulp!

OK group hug

Take care

Hugs right back at you

fingers crossed the letter has hit the mat

Hugs to you all

Leolady56

hoping you get settled in the new place soon, sounds crazy the turn of housing events you've recently experienced. Hopefully fate means you are now where you belong and it's all meant to be.

Leolady56 nope no LOD yet. *sigh*. Hope you are still galloping

restricted galloping due to this silly plantars fasciitis 

Grrrr

But I’m rocking a good Mrs Blobby look 

oh hell
