It seems I'm a patient now!

Hi AnnJac,   I was told bt a cancer U.K nurse that it stays in our body for five days , but has left by ten if that helps you.

 I don't want to risk anything so will only have 3 days off.  I feel fine today, and was very busy on Bank Holiday Monday up at 5 etc. and gardening, but it did feel like abnormal tiredeness and I want to see if my hands improve at all, as I can't fasten buttons or hold a cup firmly and I was never like this during last year's extensive treatment

.I have been on the drug for 7 months and am getting worse .not better as I was told I would be after radiotherapy.  Still trying to find out if the Accord I am on has changed since Activis, which makes Cipla, has bought the name.

Good luck with your trip to London. Will post if there is any noticeable improvement even if it is only three days

Thanks Calador!

Tonight it seems right ankle is being a pest......it’s odd it seems ankles are the worst. (Oh, and the hips ache too, but that’s last night’s yoga!) 

and im still very aware of the lump in boob, and even more right at the edge, I guess it’s the implant edge/muscle edge and I may well be feeling this even more as any internal inflammation due to the ops is healing well after all this time. But when one wakes in the wee small hours and is aware, panic levels inevitably rise once more! Heck, does the worry EVER go? 

Hugs to you all xxx

moomy, the worry never goes!!! So agree re staying on Letrozole, despite the awful side effects. It would be so dreadful if it came back because I had stopped the tabs early, as BC can mestastasise late. Can't risk that. Keep forgetting the B12!

The concert was better than last night, though the organist fluffed the entry of the Domine Jesu and the conductor had to stop it and restart! Really enjoyed the singing, and the audience seemed to enjoy it. Next one Saturday. Xxxx

Glad the concert was better than dress rehearsal, Seaspirit, and only the organist let you down. 

Thank goodness for a quieter day today, we’ve been into the Bombe three days in a row and it’s great not to get woken by an alarm! Yes I know, many folk work; but I am 73 and retired a while back!!! It’s choir today though...and I missed last week....

These last 2 days I’ve had a lot of nerve twinges in my boob, guess that’s normal too, even after 12 months?!

And I decided (on the spur of the moment!) to get my nails done rather than file them myself, we’ve a fairly new beauty (tan, nails, massages) shop up the road, popped in, they had a free appointment so my hands now look cared for! No, no colour on nails but all the hard skin has been filed away, cuticles cared for, nails beautifully shaped and conditioned. And I feel a touch pampered as a result!

How lovely moomy, we all need a bit of pampering now and then! Especially with all your recent aches and pains with the 'time off' medication. HFxx

Hi,moomy....I am ever so sorry about your “lump”.Hope it is nothing to worry about ...as you say...the worry does never leave you...it is just another “add-on”to having cancer.

I was interested to read about stopping letrozole.I tend to agree with ...the fear of further cancer makes me keep on with it.However,I SO want to stop it after 5 years!!I have been on it for 3 years nearly,now.I find the side-effects hard.Some Hospitals are thinking of keeping people on it for 10 years....what are people’s thoughts on this??

My older brothers’ results for his cancer came theough.He has prostate cancer and needs radiotherapy for 4 times then it is over.(and an injction each 9 weeks to shrink it.)(his words....)

So it is a massive relief that it hasnt spread.

Am enjoying reading about your concert rehearsals,and your naughty husband!!so funny,!!

It is becoming pretty obvious that Loratidine is helping me with the generalised aches and pains, plus post nasal drip! Will be glad when I can start again! 

Managed to mow the lawn this morning and cut round the edges, too, makes it look so much tidier. It was a bit damp but thought I’d do it while it was fine!

thinking of all you lovely ladies,
