Now that is interesting, just shows you how much conflicting info you get. The guy I spoke to was from Airdrie CAB which are supposed to be macmillan specialists. I’ll see what I can find out from someone else. Hope you got there ok.
I was really knackered last night, legs are sore today, think that was with the standing.
We prob should have waited for the next train but didn’t think it would have been fixed that quick.
Doing nothing at all today, except for friends tonight for dinner.
Take care for now
Plus skiing and the cooking course, Im knackered!! I also have a night out tomorrow in Glasgow for a friends Birthday. Im gonna be no good to anyone next week.
We went to a Spanish Tapas bar in town last night, it was great

Hope you are ok.

The complementry therapy is done at Hairmyres Hospital. There is 1 woman there that does it. We are entitled to 6 free sessions. I think she also covers one day at Monklands.
feeling really tired today had to get up early to take my little girl to nursery, but i think i will try and rest as much as possible today well if thats okay with my other little girl who is 2 she will just have to take a long nap with me, dont need to pick up my other little girl until 3.30pm.
I ve had 2 operations, 1st one was in 6th oct for a WLE and 4 nodes remove but the results were not good so I then had a mastectomy and all my nodes removed which came as a big shock to me… I had my mastectomy on the 14th of Nov which went really well soo happy with my new boob my surgeon was really good! Had my op done at the Glasgow royal.
Has any of you went to the maggies centre i have heard that is really good !!
Feeling really knackered this time, feels weird as I’ve been ok but suppsose it had to hit me at some point. Got appointment to see oncologist again next Thurs hopefully then i will know what’s happening next.
I didn’t have a hickman line put in yet, there was a girl I was sitting with yest she had one in and said it was fine, she just keeps a bandage on it all the time.
The maggies centre in Glasgow is great, I got a good feeling from there. I also went to look good feel better day there last monday, it was a great afernoon, you get loads free makeup and it all expensive stuff, get yourselves on it if you haven’t attended already. Call Chris on 0141 330 3311.
There is also a young persons group on a monday afternoon I was thinking of going along at some point.
I popped into the Maggies centre in Wishaw but didn’t get a good vibe from there, maybe cause there was no-one on who could help me that day but that’s just my opinion.
Going for a lie down now
Hope you are all taking it easy tonight.Lots of snow were I am…outskirts of Barrhead.
Jo ,your kids would enjoy sledging up here.Did you manage to rest up today?I have not been to the Maggies centre yet but have enrolled on the LGFB day.
Sharon,hope all goes well with the onc team next thursday…take it easy in the meantime.
Angela,are you making the chocolate cakes tonight…you need to keep your strength up in preparation for the rads.
My D&V came back with avengence today.This has been on going since last week.Medical team thought it was a bug but have to get a FBC tomorrow as the thinking is now delayed onset neutropenia.Will have to be confirmed if it is.
I was neutropenic last week which resulted with no chemo & injecting myself with G-CSF.Now no chemo or hickman line this week…pain in the ass.Hopefully,it willbe resolved soon.
Stay stong sisters & spk soon
