Around eleven is good for me too Mel. Maybe garbled though as I’m cooking the dinner and I have decided that I will partake in a little yuletide drinky poo (whilst not burning the potatoes this year) being as im treatment free for now. yipee.
Baton down the hatches first though angels, I hear were in for yet another weather beating.
Rozz - It’s good to hear your coping with work and the Lymphodema problems too. I know all of us angels with no nodes are going to be suseptable to it but it’s like everything that has been thrown at us so far we have managed to help each other through the worst and although I haven’t experienced that particular side effect yet I do know it’s not going to be a walk in the park. So well done. xxx
Hi Angels. I have family dropping in tomorrow so I’m not sure whether I’ll get on at 11 or not. I will however log on throughout the day. I hope you all have a lovely Christmas and a very happy and healthy 2014.

Have a great day. I’m just posting this just in case all goes pair shape for 11am and I’m not going to burst into thankful tears posting you later and mess up the makeup Ive just put on. I really do love you all and I just want to thank you all for being there through all the rough days. Seriously, I couldn’t have done it with out you. Arrrgghhhh. (Makeup now sliding onto my lap goda go).
Just looked at the time you posted Judy. Sending you matchstick wishes for today. You really were up at an unearthly hour. Hope you have a better night tonight…take it easy. x
Merry Christmas everyone.
I’m all set now for a lovely day with the family. The morning has already been so nice and chilled.
Thank you all for being so supportive this year - it’s meant a lot and I really can’t wait to see you guys in the new year.
Have a fantastic day everyone. Love to all xxx
Merry Christmas to all you lovely ladies!
Hope you all have a very happy peaceful Christmas, enjoy yourselves!
Huge thanks to each and everyone of you for being there with advice and words of encouragement.
Can’t wait to meet you all 2014!
Lots of love from Lorraine xx
Sorry I wasn’t around on Christmas day, we were busy chatting to family about the presents that had been received as we changed our present giving process this year and it was great!
Yesterday we had lovely weather so went for a long walk in the sun but today we have wind and rain again, some of the roads are closed with fallen trees but so far our house has survived and we haven’t lost power yet…am I tempting fate there!
Its good to hear you all had a good christmas even if you had to bite your tongues a few times!
My OH is back at work today, but luckily from home, so I’m having a restful day tidying up a bit and doing some washing before I’m back at work on Monday.
Judy - I’m so sorry you had some bad news. I can only imagine how you must be feeling right now. Hopefully it will turn out to be nothing serious. I’m sending hugs your way.
I’ve been feeling a little worried this last couple of days as my remaining boob has been feeling quite tender and bruised, though there is no visible sign of any bruising. I’ve got an appointment with the surgeon on 6th January for a follow up so will get it checked then.
That said I’ve had a lovely Christmas with my family and I’mso glad to hear that you all have too.
Best wishes for 2014 everyone. Xx
Oh! Judy that’s rubbish news to get, at this late stage in our crap year 2013 will be memory for all the wrong reasons, hopefully it is just a shadow or a chest infection. Enjoy your wine you deserve it. Amber enjoy Dublin. All the rest of you too let’s hope 2014 is a good year for the Angels. Love Lynn x
Oh Judy, just when things were starting to get back to some form of normality they throw a curve ball in, hope its nothing and hasn’t changed when they do the next scan. I’ll have an extra glass tonight to join your drinking session! I have an appt with my ONC on 16th Jan, I finally bit the bullet and rang them as I haven’t seen anyone since July…apart from the radiologists every day for 3 weeks! They asked when I’d last seen the breast surgeon and when I said March they implied something had gone wrong and I should have been seen by him and the ONC in the last 6 months! Ooops but hopefully now I’m back in the system they are going to sort my one year from dx mammogram too.
Hope 2014 brings you all some good health and lots of happiness
Hi Ladies,
So sorry to hear about your scan Judy, I have everything crossed that it’s nothing to merit any worry and next time they put your mind at rest. You certainly could have done without this news.
I will be raising my glass to you and all you other ladies and wishing us and our families a healthier and happier New Year!
Amber hope you enjoy Dublin! OH & I are just back from a 10 day break in Ireland. We had Christmas with his Mum & Dad and had a lovely time…weather much the same as home but it did not matter. Quiet New Year for us but will be thinking of you all and thankful that we’ve had this connection and support from each other to help us through 2013.
Hope everyone is doing ok, especially you ladies that we’ve not heard from in a wee while, Pauline, Debbie, Moira hope your all ok.
I am still off work and have the aches in legs, hips and still can’t seem to sleep right through although I do think the aches are starting to subside a little so if it’s to do with Tamoxifen then I’ve been on that since August now so Maybe I’m getting used to it a little better. I’m still talking to a psycologist every few weeks and still taking the anti-depressants, these seem to be making me less anxious so hopefully can give them up shortly.
Hoping to shift some of my christmas weight in the new year, I think a stone should do it. My reconstruction will probably not be done until after Herceptin so I’m looking at the back end of next year. I think I’ve decided on Diep…any-one else decided?
Well I’ll sign off for now but will continue to keep up with your posts. Take care everyone & A healthy and happy new year to you all. Lots of love Lori xx
Oh Judy, something else to worry about. Please try not to worry. Im with Lori and will be raising a glass to all angels good health for 2014.
Philomena - Glad you had a good xmas with your family. Just got your text too.
Amber - Enjoy Dublin.
Kate - It’s good that you made that appointment. I think all of us should push the system not to forget us.
Mel A - Hope your appointment goes well too.
Lori - I too am hoping to drop a few pounds after christmas. Lets hope we don’t find it too hard.
All our lovely Angels, Rozz, Lynn, Caz, Mel, Angie, Diggy, and anyone else Ive forgot …Prayers and Best Wishes for a happy and healthy New Year. Love and Hugs to you all. Sandy xxxxxxxx.
Here’s to a very happy and healthy new year everybody. 2013 had it’s challenges, but many positives have come out of it for me, including the support and friendship of you wonderful ladies. I can’t wait to meet you all in person. Have a good night everyone xxx
Happy New Year…a new begining at last!
I hope after last year we all have a happier & healthier year ahead.
Hope you all well and truely kicked 2013 into touch and leaped into 2014 with positive thoughts for the future - our future :o)
Lots of love to you all, the new year hugs will need to wait until we meet in April!
Take care, Lorraine xx
haven’t posted for a while as struggling with anxiety and depression. Think I’ve missed lots.
Judy- thinking of you and fingers crossed it turns out to be nothing important.
hope everyone else is doing ok . i managed to get through xmas with lots of great support from friends and family. Glad the year is over and hoping 2014 will be better for all of us. I’m taking one day at a time and making no plans at the moment. Just trying to walk every day. The good thing about anxiety is i have no appetite, so the weight is dropping off at the mo!
Hi everyone
I hope everyone is feeling well today. Good luck to anyone going back to work on Monday.
Rozz how many people have you booked to stay in Manchester and us anyone going who hasn’t booked a room? Now Christmas is over I want to phone and book our meal. Has anyone any preference for a time? I was thinking maybe about 7:30pm but I’m happy with whatever time suits everyone else. Xx
Mel that time sounds fine to me, as far as I know Roz has booked 6 twin rooms on her credit card, which she can cancel if anyone pulls out. I took all the tree down today. Got docs on Monday and as long as he signs me off back to work Tuesday for me just 4 hrs first 2 days, then 3 days following week, a bit apprehensive will let you all know how it goes Lynn x
