Hi Everyone hope you are all well, this is me finally getting my act together and getting on to the site.
Happy Easter to you all, great news Carol on the job front you will be feeling much better. Thanks for letting me know about sharon last week at the funeral.
Hi Anna, nice to see you posting, had a wee visit from Anne Marie last night, its very sad but we had a good blether, can you please text me your mobile number as I have lost all my contacts on my mobile, cheers
Happy Easter to everyone and I am looking forward to tucking into my eggs later
Well, been a while since I’ve been on – where does the time go! Thanks for my birthday message and Fiona & Carol thanks for the cards. Well, I had a really great birthday, although I still can’t believe I’m 40 – seems too grown up, lol! Had a few family and friends round for drinks and my sister and her family made a surprise visit from Wales and stayed for the weekend which was lovely.
I can’t believe it’s now a year since I had my first chemo – it’s such a relief to get through the list of first anniversaries.
Sharon – Hope you had a lovely birthday. How did the tests go in London?
Sheila – congrats on becoming a gran again. I hope baby Murray and mum are doing fine.
Yvonne – good luck with your return to work
Carol – sorry to hear about your friend.
Fiona – glad your mammogram results were clear.
Anna – Are you Anna from the YWF?
I’m waiting on my appointment for my mammogram, saw oncologist last week and he’s ordered one. Told him I wasn’t going to get my boobs out for him, as I’d had an examination 4 weeks earlier and was going to the breast clinic next week. Think I’m going to ask to see another Doctor next time as I just feel really uncomfortable!
Anyway, I hope you’re all having a lovely easter and haven’t eaten too much chocolate eggs!
im through in glw tomorrow to discuss coming back to work… or not as the case may be… if i have enough AL to carry forward i may just use that for my notice instead of working it.
Good luck for tomorrow Lulu, im returning to work in a fortnight fed up in house never thought i would hear myself say that but maybe under different circumstances it would be ok!
Hair is coming out thick and fast now, didnt use the cold cap Helen had heard various comments on it and with people whose hair had fallen out regardless… too late now anyway!
Hope everyone is ok
love an hugs

Morning ladies…not been on for a wee while…tend to be using facebook more…don’t know if anyone has mentioned to the new girls, but a lot of us tend to chat in there on a daily basis…my profile name is Mags Mackay…and In my profile picture Im wearing a curly wig and a fur stole (Im in 1940’s fancy dress ha ha) click and make me a friend and I will add my BC friends to your list.
Hope the treatments aren’t too gruelling…just take it easy girls It’s hard but you get there in the end.
Best of luck to wee Fee who is having her endoscopy today…I had one last week and didn’t find it too bad at all.
Cheers Maggie - i didn’t know that. Would be good to meet you all in person at some point. Hi to all - day 9 of second cycle, ok but definitely more “wabbit” than last time. it was day 10 last time that the horrible ulcers and thrush started - here’s hoping not this time. Love to all.
Been busy over last week helping look after Cameron, baby’s big brother. Went with my sister and her 8 year old to see How to Train a Dragon. Cameron was terrified. He didn’t like the 3D. Thought he would be traumitised for life. Soon forgot after he got McDonalds on way home.
Baby Murray doing well - he’s so tiny and still has jaundice. Midwife says it will take a while to go.
Been reading through posts for last week - talk about chemo brain. There are names I don’t recognise and just couldn’t get my head round everything. Will read everything again.
Everyone seems quite upbeat - hope everyone OK. How is Sharon doing. Is she getting treatment just now.
Hi Lynn
Glad you have got to day 9 without to many bad side effects, I hope that means you wont get mouth ulcers, thrush as bad this time.
I start my first FEC tomorrow, it’s a strange feeling knowing I feel so well but that after tomorrow will probably be feeling the side effects quite soon. I am not scared just want to get the next part of the journey on the road.
How long were you at the hospital for your chemo.
Love Anne x
Hi Anne - i was there for about 3 and a half hrs in total. Most of that time was taken up by the cold cap - not that its done much good! Cap on for 15mins, then chemo- about 25mins, then the remainder changing caps ever 40mins or so.
I hope it goes well for you, be sure to post as soon as you can and let us know how you go.
Hi Lynn
Well that is the first on over, not as bad as I expected but it took a long time for the chemo to go in. The nurse thought it was because it went in through a small vein, but i was fine all the way through and had no ill effects.
I have to go back to hospital tomorrow for an injection for my immune system and white blood cells which is given 24 hours after chemo. I am feeling well just now but lets see what tomorrow brings
