Hello all!

Sorry to be away for so long, but work has completely floored me, plus the effects of Letrozole. 

Have been lurking in the background for a while (on many things), but now spring is in the air, I feel the need to move forward.  

So good news Flossie25 on your first mammo - such a relief.  And your cystisis moomy sounds grim - hopefully its on its way out.  But sounds like you have had some fun trips away.  seaspirit44 sounds like you are keep very active swimming Tai Chi etc , and culturally (well done you).  And Violetsniff hope you are well.

Im off the the garden centre this morning to take my elderly parents for breakfast.  Then attack the garden or a walk with the dog.  Need to up my exercise as so stiff these days. I have started Pilates, which I love.

Have fun everyone xx

Hi Eddiboy,

so good to hear from you, have been wondering how you are getting on! Boooo to work wearing you out! 

Things chez moi are a wee touch better re cystitis, but I am VERY annoyed it got this bad! I’ve had problems for a number of years but since GP put me on vagifem it became a lot better. I discussed this with chief surgeon when we realised my bc was oestrogen positive and it appears there is minimal problem in absorption plus a quality of life consideration. So having discussed it too with BCN and GP I’ve continued. Grrrr, us older ladies have a lot to put up with!

hugs to you all xxx

2 walks (a loo break for us both halfway!) and a total of 4.33 miles walked/wheeled, all my 3 loads of washing is dry, and away, so lovely to have it dried outside, it smells so good! 

Daughter texted a photo of her new puppy (miniature Schnauzer) in a papoose as they took him for a walk too, well carry I suppose! And she says he wasn’t at all fazed by traffic, noise, dogs or children, sounds very positive! He has his second jabs next week and can then be allowed to walk properly (but I suspect he will be too busy sniffing everywhere to walk far or fast, a bit like a toddler who wants to look at everything!

Lovely to hear from you Eddiboy, sorry work is flooring you. Take carexxxx

Glad it’s clearing up moomy. I feel they need to treat it more aggressively at onset at our age. Can quickly get out of hand.

With you sll the way re local oestrogen cream. I have used it for 7 years. It is quite safe even with oestrogen positive cancers. It saddens me that so many ladues are denied it out of ignorance. It makes such a difference to quality of life xxx

Hi Seaspirit,

yes, until I read more widely I wasn’t aware that the oestrogen really didn’t escape into the bloodstream, maybe at first when treatment starts but not when you’re in the middle of it..

hope you are doing ok after the Botox treatment this time? 

Anxious to get back to yoga tomorrow, had to miss last week, and haven’t been sleeping as well (though that might be the anti-b!) so I hope it settles enough! 

A beautiful day out there again today, off to the Bombe today and probably tomorrow too.....
