Hi all, sorry ive not posted on here for ages but keeping up with everyones news… Sorry to here about the diverticulitis Annie, and Fiona with your hiatus hernia, just more side effects from this b===dy chemo!! Fiona sorry to hear youve to go for a bone scan, after all the treatment youve been through thats the last thing you need, thinking of you and sending you cyber hugs xx
Im starting herceptin on friday with the second tax, so not looking forward to that…Side effects have been horrendous, joint pains, sore mouth, swollen feet and ankles, the list goes on…
Whats keeping me going is after friday i will look forward to the last chemo on 2nd July…
Sorry to hear the Tax has been hard…it’s tough to keep the se’s under control, and there can be many of them!!..herceptin should be ok, just a long day for the first one while they monitor you…Tax really helps the herceptin to do it’s job…so as nasty as it is, it’s doing good…and then only one to go!! nearly there honey…how’s that handsome grandson of your’s coming on?..think it’s time for some pics on facebook…!!
Haven’t posted here for a while, i do follow everyone’s news but don’t do the facebook stuff so sometimes there’s a bit of a disconnect.
I’m 3 weeks today since last chemo - now i’m in this strange “cut loose” no-mans land. No rads to come so only the tamoxifen to look forward to. i’m not starting with that until we’ve had our week’s holiday at the end of the month. My dad died a month back so its been a very sad time - on top of all the emotions that go with BC.
Sharon - i hope all is getting better for you- i don’t know you well from the forums but i do know since i signed on in Jan, everyone is so full of regard for you and commends your strength and your spirit - sending you a big hug.
Everyone else - hope all is well - as i’ve said before i’d be up for a meet up if that was on the cards.
Hi Lynn
Sorry to hear about your dad.
I can’t believe you’ve finished your chemo already, it just seems to have flown by. I’ve been on tamoxifan since Oct and have had hardly any se’s from it - not even a hot flush!! but it seems to have iritated my gallstones, I’ve been in agony for the last week
I’m def going to Sharon’s evening, so hope to see a few there.
So sorry to hear about your Dad, thinking of you in this difficult time…
Some of us are meeting up next Saturday eve for Sharon’s fundraiser…it’s on at St Columkille’s hall in Rutherglen…7.30pm, tickets available on the night…would be great if you could come along…
Still a waiting game at my end, no news on treatment, cancer getiing worse as if I din’t know that myself, the quicker the better I get started for me.
My friends are having a funraiser for me in Rutherglen (st Columkilles Church hall, Kirkwood Street) on Sat night, if you can make it just pay on door, tickets are £5.
I may need to pay for my own treatment the way things are going.
Or buy a new liver LOL!!
hope your all well as it’s been a bit quiet recently, I’m sorry I haven’t been on more just not been to great recently
Lots love Sharon xxx
Thank you Carol, at the moment I’m not feeeling my usual self. I will get there when I see things starting to happen, when your not on treatment it’s the worst because you know what’s happening inside your body.
Sorry I missed your call I was at hospital for bloods.
We’ll need to arrange a date everyone for lunch/dinner, you guys always cheer me up when we get together. As soon as I know what’s happening I can make arrangements
I had to wait 10 weeks for my chemo to start (with my onc wanting to give it all time to settle after rads!!)…in that time the nodes in my neck have been popping up like popcorn! I only had maybe 2 on one side & 1 on the other to start with…now I have 2 solid strings of infected nodes on both sides & a barrell load of transferred pain!
It’s scary when you just want to push on with things, but you can’t…I’m just desperate to see some results from Xeloda…Please let it work for us!!!
Hi Sharron, just to say that although i dont post a lot i have been keeping up with your news. cant make saturday unfortunately because im working but would love to meet up with you and the other girls sometime. I wish you well, and will be thinking about you
See ONC tomorrow get some answers to see what’s happening next.
Hazel - I know what you mean about the waiting we can actually see the cancer growing all the time, my skin rash is also covered on blisters and oozing crap, although I have lost weight thro not being able to eat much, I look pregnant the way it’s growing in my stomach and liver, having trouble breathing sometimes as organs feel like pushing against each other.
Your having a hellish time with the Lymphodema also girl!!
We need to kick cancer ass.
Girls- we need to arrange meet up soon, if I feel up to it
If anyone is interested about Sat, my fundraiser is St.Columkilles church hall, Kirkwood Street, Rutherglen. I know some of you are coming so I will see you there.
Sharon - me too, i’m thinking of you and sending you love . I’d love to meet up with you and the girls, i can’t make Saturday we’re staying away at friends. i hope you have a wonderful time and raise loads of dosh.
I hope you get answers today and can move forward again - i love your strength, you inspire everyone.
Thanks girls, well that’s me start chemo tablets tomorrow afternoon at 2pm. Thank god now something is gettin done and bonus don’t need liver op Yeeha !!!
