    Good point V. Facing harsh reality is difficult but together we get each other through this. You're right the medics need all the info to provide the best care for you, hold on to that? Again BC is so treatable...don't think it's a be all end all...our minds are so powerful and its all consuming. I know each day when I have wobbles I have to consciously bring myself back in the light. Please know that we will keep helping each other every step of the way...

    Slept OK yday, proud of myself just with little things like cooking food, washing myself, only took minimal painkillers, broken sleep at 3am which isn't that bad. Prob coz napping in the day.

    Some of you are having big days today, good luck ladies...take it step by step...sending lots of positive and healing vibes to you sweeties xxx

    I got a small procedure on the other side in 2 weeks...couple of check ups next week. I will know more then. If honest I am scared about the pathology report  but I need to put rest and recuperate as top priority right now. And coming to terms with mastectomy. I still dare not look at myself. If I think about it I will cry so much. So I don't let myself go there. New me, keep telling myself!!

  • Morning all .  Hope you are all doing ok.   I have crashed now day 4 after chemo.   Going to try to chill and go with it this time , I know it’s going to be a rough few days . Not going to put pressure on to keep normal meal times just going eat little when I can .   Not sure if I will be able to drive to CT tomorrow.    

    Jayne are you ok , been worried about you xx

  • Do not be afraid to ask for help. Maybe your friend can drive you. You absolutely must attend your CT scan tomorrow. It is just as important as all the rest of your chemo, and dictates the future for you. You will get through this. Get lots of rest and stop doing so much for other people. Rest Rest Rest and then more rest. I was told this by my ex G.P. friend. 

  • Yh pls rest harleybear. Treatment 2 done, home now and resting. Just had ec today last time I had fec. Nurse advised they probably wanted to see how my bloods was and they was fine and b/p fine xxx
