Hi I hope to start next week had picc line fitted Tuesday seeing oncologist today wig lady tomorrow. Will let you know how I get on. Hope you are feeling better today. I had to have my dressing changed on my picc line yesterday in the chemo dept. I found it very depressing many older people all sat around no one speaking very depressing reminded me of an old folks home. I am 71 but love life and not ready for an old folks anything yet.
Hi carmia. Well done. You got through really well just keep drinking water. Val keep thinking young that will help you with your fight and when you are better you can show us all how it’s done 
thank you for you well wishes hoping that the chemo does follow a patten so I can take all the tablets before and feel ok xxxxxxxxx
Hi all, glad your first sessions seemed to go ok Turnercat and Carmia. I joined the September group thinking I would be starting, but after Tuesday’s shamble of an appointment at oncology I’m doubtful. It does sound like keeping a diary of your feelings and SE is a great idea and will get something ready. Thanks for the info on the wig, just wanted to be prepared for it don’t want a cold head lol. Looking forward to following all your progress keep well and take care. Much love to all xxx
I don’t think it will be that long Jayne nothing happens and then everything happens if you know what I mean. The ward had some little caps for sale for a fiver. Just to pop on if someone came to the door under a scarf or in bed. Take some cash with you just in case. I didn’t get the Chance to talk to anyone or read my mag A lovely nurse sat and administered the drugs and we talked about everything . From kids to dogs and the B menopause. I was also able to ask her lots of questions. I’m on the steroids and feel like I could run a marathon. Other than my tummy feels gassy and I have a mild pony tail headache which I’ve read Dissappear when your hair falls out. Its the hair folicals. Waiting for the slump after steroids finish tm but to be honest I could do with the sleep xx
Not been sick yet. Taking the tablets as directed to the letter. Small meals drinking water but only sipping. At first I downed a full glass. But your stomach fells full and wants to evacuate. Tell me if its too much and ill stop. Oh was told to use a child’s toothbrush and toothpaste. Gentler on the mouth. And make sure your given your mouth wash xx
Your doing really well t.c I know what you mean about the steroids. Keep a note of what your doing and hopefully as they say it follows a pattern and you will be the same next time after today I will be able to tell you if that’s true ding ding round 2! Xxxx
Good luck Sarahd x
Good luck Sarah and everyone having chemo today
