Hello All
I thought about setting up a thread for us all to use to chat about various stuff across, so it's all in one place and newer members posts not getting pushed down and off the discussion front page before getting an answer.
I hope you are all doing well and not too stuffed on easter eggs?
I have not eaten mine yet! I went to bed friday night not feeling well and woke up Saturday with a horrid migraine throwing my guts up usually I fall asleep and sleep it off. Not so, I ended up going to the OOH doctor Sunday afternoon as was still throwing up
He gave me some lotions and potions and still not right yet. Though haven't thrown up for a few hours now. I going to try and eat something soon (not easter eggys) to see if I can manage that and see if it makes me feel better. I hate being ill! Especially on a bank holiday weekend with such nice weather. I was so looking forward to it and I have slept most of it away.
Morning all, looks like I missed everybody last night
been up and out before breakfast this morning had to have bloods redone @ 9 cos cortisol wasnt right, find out later if I get my treatment tomorrow
Phil - so glad things are happening for you
Gina - so glad your home, not the best of journeys but you can relax and rest now, hope you feel ok
Chelle - sorry to hear the news about your sister, but if something is found it is the best way to find it in a check up, get it early if that makes sense and doesn’t sound harsh and she has now made a decision of what she is going to do either way
Maggie - glad your feeling well
Darlo - you had lots to chat about last night
Morning That is eager of you!
I have been now where near as good as you. I have tonnes to do though. So I should get a wiggle on soon.
Why is people insist on coming to visit you. I really just want to chill and relax and sleep. But nope. I will get interrupted and intruded on all day. Sigh. Not sure which part of I have been away and I am knackered people do not get....
I fly again Wednesday and will eat sleep rave repeat.
So Bloods, Mris. Surgery Thursday and one hell of a cracking head for the next few days.
I know, they’re a pain in the bum, just let them come and fuss and wait on you at least it gets you out of doing the things you should be doing but can’t really be bothered doing. Although it not nice at least you’re prepared for the next lot you’ll sail through it
My goodness Gina, they really are not giving you much time to rest are they! The doctors I mean, not your visitors.
At least you can fly back so hopefully you will have an easier journey. Have you got someone traveling with you? I hope so. Xx
Thank you Julie, yes you are right, she’s been having yearly mammograms and MRI’s so will be early, still praying it’s a cyst. My niece phoned me last night and she now has decided to be tested for the gene too. It’s all very worrying, but I know that’s the right thing for her to do.
Hope your bloods come back ok today and it’s full steam ahead for your treatment tomorrow xx
Hi Chelle,
i Think your niece has made a good decision - nothing to lose, everything to gain and hopefully your sisters like you say is a cyst.
Gina will you have to come back back by boat or will you be ready to fly
Good to see you are back on top form Phil, those steroids must be working

Hi Gina. I wanted to let you know that I have been and am thinking of you and really hope that you get some peace and quiet to heal.
I will be off here for a few days but I will be thinking about all of you wonderful people and sending you all gentle hugs. I went for my scan yesterday to see whether the cancer has come back as the Consultant has seen " something ". That was nerve wracking enough but my poor husband had to deal with taking our dog to the Vet while I was at the Hospital and our poor 9 and a half year old Golden Retriever was put down. He helped to see me through the last 4 years when I have been so ill and has been the very best darling friend I could ever have asked for. I don't know how I will cope without him so I need to hide for a while because I can't stop crying!
Take care all and I hope you know that I wish all of you nothing but the best and Gina, please allow yourself to be spoiled. You sound like a wonderful, caring person and I really wish we could all meet up, give each other hugs and also laugh together. Gina.....be good!
Much love,
Danni xxxxx
