Hi ladies,

I hope you're all well. Just wanted to have a moan and feel sorry for myself! Was due second round of chemo this morning but woke up with a bright red and very hot boob. I'm about 11 weeks post surgery and had healed brilliantly with no problems. As soon as I started chemo my boob has been feeling more uncomfortable and now this. Am sat in hospital feeling pants and need a week of antibiotics and chemo delayed by one week. Plus they let loose a trainee to do my bloods....after three tries a nurse came and did it. I only had them down yesterday! Also took the horrid steroids yesterday and early this morning for no reason. I find them rancid. Has anyone else had any late onset implant issues or steroid issues?

On the plus side, it's my birthday next Tuesday and might now get to enjoy that! I hope everyone is doing ok in the heat xxxx sending hugs 

  • omg sorry about the useless vampire, it is so frustrating on top of feeling poo. in light of set back I hope your birthday is good and cake tastes nice Hugs

    as for steroids why did you take? did they tell you too? not noticed rancidity but i reckon the roids and the shots make me sad/angry

  • Thank you. I have to take two doses of 8 mg the day before chemo and 6mg on morning before chemo. So I did yesterday as all was well and bloods good and typically I took this morning early to try and held avoid insomnia and then notice my angry boob. My salt is apparently high and they are now talking about me having to go the hospital where I had surgery and staying in. I don't want to go!!!! Thanks for replying. I hope you are ok xxx

  • double yuck, hospital stay, and ok, i just take two on morning of, but as for hospital stay better safe i guess, hugs. im frustrated as have lumpy feeling throat so eating and drinking sucks. hope they take good care of you

  • I'm sorry to hear that. Are they sores relating to chemo mouth? I was recommended fresh pineapple as a cure for mouth but not sure if that will help throat. Gargle with lots of salt water and eat icHuggingcream. Make sure you keep drinking. Sending Hugging xx

  • thank you, hugs appreciated. and yes think so, two mouth sores now, now so depressing more meds weds Sob.  .  have canned pineapple? considering oral b mouth sore rinse. drinking  is hard tho

    how are you doing? better i hope. Heart️

  • Mouth sores are just awful. I think I saw a post that mentioned Weleda mouthwash being good. Might be worth a go. Been a bit dire this end, 9 attempts at a cannula today and I've got to keep it in all week as need IV antibiotics daily at home. Seeing my surgeon on Tuesday. Not sure if my chemo will continue as worry is my implant is failing. Feeling a bit sorry for myself! X

  • So sorry that you are feeling ill.  Mouth sores really suck.  I don’t know if the old fashioned remedy of warm salt and water would help .  Wishing you an early Happy Birthday Birthday.  Hope you feel better soon and that your implant behaves.
