Morning girls…
I had a rubbish sleep again…I have hardly slept sinc e last wed…getting very pissed off now.Feel @ night I cant breath and sooooooo warm.Had to come down and try to sleep on the couch @ 3am…cooler but still no sleep.Inhaling with menthyl crystals now.If my nose is not all blocked up its running.Still gor some slight bone pain.
Really dont know if Ican tolerate anymore.
I ama a bit concerned too about that tax can induce permanent baldness.
Feeling rubbish,sorry for ranting but just want somne sleep…natural stuff.
Sharon,I too am a long term planner always have been…know way 2 much info…read my medical notes too last week…student gave me them…well what could I say,she did,nt have a clue.I am just that used to running around looking after people that I still cannot accept I have this fickle disease.
Birthday greetings 2 ur dad…hope u enjoy the scran.It will be nice 4 u 2 get away next week 2.
Ang…only one day left this week then its the weekend woohoo.
Jo…Keep us updated about what surg says…glad u managed 2 sleep
Trac…hope work is ok
This website is great for letting everything out and thanks girls for putting up with me
this is def great for us to let everything out, especially as we all know what we’re going through, friends and family you can’t talk to the same as they don’t understand, sis got upset with me last night as I wasn’t in mood for talking.
You don’t need to apologise as we are here for each other and all need to rant.
Also, didn’t know about the permanent baldness, that’s starting to freak me out!!! You need to get sleeping tablets even though they just put you over for a little while, better than nothing
And has anyone noticed that when you logged in there were about 700-800 logged in at a time, but now it’s just 10-20 people!! Weird
I was just thinking about that myself when I logged in this morning!!
I think this site is good for me you feel as if you are boring all your family with all the complaints at least you guys know what its like and understand …
Angela what you up to today ?
I am justing popping round the corner to my friends house for some tea before i go to the hospital
Im not up to much, have been getting up at 6am all this week for the Rads so Im quite tired. So far there are no real side effects. Im just hanging around the house reading… gets very boring!
Im joining the lack of sleep club too, I dont know if its just because I started a new treatment… but I havent been able to get to sleep, i have been reading untill 3am then getting up at 6 for the hospital. Im gonna be a wreck by the end of the week. 1 more day and thats my first week over.
Sharon… if its any concelation my eye lashes and brows grew back really quickly. They were back to normal in just over a month.
Im looking forwrd to Tuesday… should be a good day
HIYA ANG…
GLAD U R BEARING UP WITH THE RADS…IS UR PARTNER STILL GOING WITH U ?
TRY SOME LAVENDER IN THE BATH…MAY HELP WITH THE INSOMMNIA.
I EVENTUALLY DRIFTED OFF THIS AFTERNOON…FEELING A BIT BETTER FOR IT.
HOPE U R EATING WELL.NEED 2 KEEP UR STRENGTH UP.HOPE THE BOY IS SPOILING U
SHARON.HOW YA DOING NOO? LET US KNOW WHAT TYPE OF SCOFF U HAVE 2 NIGHT? I AM A FOOD JUNKIE.LIKE 2 EXPERIMENT ALOT WITH THE GRUB…ROLL ON MY APPETITE COMING BACK
JO.,.HOWS THE ARM NOW.TAKE IT EASY WITH THE EXERCISES

Yeah the rads are a walk in the palk at the moment… not saying they will stay that way… I have someone going with me every day. Between Richard, his Mum and 2 friends I am all sorted. My parents live to far away to take me.
I slept ok last night, as I said before, I think is a bit of stress, fear of the unknown, wondering what was going to happen to me with Rads, at least I know there is nothing to worry about now.
Im eating fine… in fact too well. I really need to start thinking about dropping some weight!!
Managed to sleep last night…lots of chamomile teas,and inhaling lavender…I was so pleased.It was on the couch as could not handle the bed…too warm still.Eating has improved too…2 trout fillets and super whole foods for brunch.Prawn curry 2 night me thinks…need 2 go easy though on that as not sure if mouth can handle it yet.
Angela,glad all is going well with the rads.Any plans 4 the weekend?
Are you looking forward 2 going back 2 work? I know its a long way off 4 me yet but I hope 2 go back to work maybe oct09…me & my planning.Also financial issues need to be well addressed.Ireckon unless we win the lottery we r going 2 struggle a bit.Told Tom he is going 2 be getting alot of pasta & rice.I could go back 2 being a veggie very easy.Got forms from various nures funds for some kind of financial help but the forms r designed 2 put people off.
Anyway,have a nice weekend & if I can make it on Tues I will.
Sharon,how ya going now?You r a tough cookie so just hang in thereHave you only got 1 more 2 go?Then you will be on a nice break b4 surgery…woohoo.
Jo…how is the arm?Did you get expanders or a flap?I am not sure what I will do.I dont have much fat 2 play about with & dread the thought of my back being used?Its maybe cause I worked in theatres b4 & was involved in major cases.
Have to go 4 genetic testing next week but result will take a while 2 come in.My tumour has reduced by 50% now & med team propose breast conservation surgery WLI but if results come back unfav then it would have to defo be mastectomy.I am not that keen about going 42 ops when 1 would have done.Oh what 2 do…
Have a nice weekend,Ru cracking open a nice bottle or 2?
Yeah the Rads are fine. Im going to my mum and dads this weekend. Its my dads birthday. We are heading to Anstruther for lunch first. Sould be nice.
I dont know if im looking forward to going back to work… I have been off for so long that I think its going to be a shock to the system. Im sure it will be fine, but you know… I could really do with winning the lottery, it would really make life easier!!
Visit to see my surgeon was good she is very happy with the way things are looking and so am I she is brill. We were discussing my nipple reconstruction which she will do after all my treatment. I would recommend Miss Whallets to any of you guys which have still to have your reconstruction I got a latis dorsi flap. I am soo glad a got a woman surgeon they understand alot more than the men and she is really nice to get on with.

Mum and Dad live in Fife and my OHs sister is also in Fife, so we went to St Andrews to pick her up and drove through to Anstruther for a fish supper, then went through to see dad for his birthday. Landed up having a few drinks with dad and my sister… mum gave up and went to her bed and we landed up sitting up till 5.30am. God was i tired after that. It was nice to see my folks though.
Lookng forward to tomorrow. I have Rads in Glasgow at 10.05 tomorrow so will be in Glasgow twice tomorrow.
Sharon, I was going to jump on the train at 12.20 unless you want to get the earlier one?? I will be in the front carrage.
