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.
Wow Gina
that’s fantastic news , so pleased for you and hoping you are enjoying a great weekend.
im lazing about doing nothing much as after treatment Thursday the steroids kicked in and have played havoc with my sleep.
tired today but still not sleeping just lacking energy, hasn’t stopped me eating though , currently craving vanilla ice cream which is weird as I only just about tolerate it in mid summer not in the middle of autumn lol.
really pleased for you and a really positive outcome xxx
Some more good news - latest 3 monthly scan results show cancer is stable. No change since last CT scan in August
That's lovely news John Boy2, so pleased for you. A weight lifted I am sure.
Watch out for corks popping, they'll be wanting more drinks again
That's great news John Boy2. POP.......can't help myself. Stay well.
Great news John boy2. Cheers from Amsterdam.
GINA!!
How are things with you, long time no hear, hope all is going well. Ive ended up putting the teapot away again
Don’t put the teapot away Julie! I’ve just got my xmas tree teapot out, and it makes a lovely cuppa.
Back from a lovely cruise, where I fell in love with Bruges. What an amazing place. Back to a cold house with no heating as the boiler decided it didn’t like the cold either.
Now waiting to hear when I will start on these bone strengthening injections. Don’t like the sound of it one little bit, and have read so many mixed reviews but I guess needs must. I have to go to the dentist on Thursday as they only give this injection if your teeth do not need any treatment. Anybody else had experience of denosumab?
if you are around, I hope you are ok, I think maybe you were seeing your oncologist this week? Anyway thinking of you.

Darlo, there you are
you have been missed! I was starting to get worried, I know you said you wouldn’t be on for about a week because of your laptop but that was weeks ago I checked all day yesterday for you because I knew you were at the oncologist but were you on, nope! Good to hear you’ve still got you treatment and hopefully the meds he’s given you will help.
Hear from you later
