Should have saved the link - took me ages to find it again!
Gravesend? We are nearly neighbours! What hospital are you under?

I live in Whitstable and finished my treatment nearly two years ago at Canterbury (KCH)
There is a group who meet in Maidstone but I never ever got there despite invitations!
East coast links were very poor when I was going through my treatment. Felt very alone!!!
Hi Girls
I am Bexleyheath!!!

HI im Folkestone Kent and newly diagnosed grade 2 starting chemo 29th dec.
Hi All,
I’m in Swanley, so not far from a few of you. I would be at Darent Valley, but have private healthcare through work so am being treated at Fawkham Manor. Still seeing the same surgeon/oncologist, just in slightly nicer surroundings!
What stage are you all at with your journey?
Alison
Hi All,
There are quite a few of us local, perhaps we should meet up in the New Year.
Alison - I was lucky to have private cover too, I had chemo at Chelsfield Park and my operations at Sloane.
I finished my treatment April this year and went back to work in May after 7 months off!.
How are you all getting on with treatment?

Hi all,
There are quiet a lot of us that are local to each other. Juro I think a meet would be nice.
Has anyone put their name down for the Look Good Feel Better sessions at Maidstone? I called them a couple of weeks ago, and they are fully booked until March#1 However due to high demand they are going to put on some more dates in Jan and Feb and contact people in the New Year.
Alison I am at Queen Marys, but have a friend who is further down the road on her Journey, she is at Darenth.
I was dx 13th Oct, MX 26th Oct, no rads 6 x FEC. Had my first chemo 2nd Dec and 2nd is due 23rd.
How far along the road are all you other lovely ladies?

Hi again,
I wondered about the LGFB sessions, but as my eyelashes and eyebrows are just about intact I didn’t know how much I would get out of it. I’m not one for wearing make-up or having a beauty regime, more a get up and go type of girl (or as the case is now, get up and move to the sofa!).
I was diagnosed in March, had a lumpectomy and SNB, followed by 2 re-excisions. They still didn’t get clear enough margins, so I was told I’d need a mx. I had 6 rounds of chemo (very similar to FEC-T but slightly different for the first 3 as I’m private) and had my mx on 12/12. I had immediate reconstruction with strattice and a permanent expander implant. At the moment it’s still very sore if I try and move too much so I’m taking it easy (read bored). Just thankful my toddler seems to understand that Mummy cannot be used as a climbing frame for the time being!
Would love to meet some others and share experiences/moans etc.
Alison
Hello Kentish Ladies
I would be interested in a meet up in the NY, would be nice to find other local ladies that are going through this to compare notes with / tips advice!
Alison I would love to hear how you are getting on after your recon. 12th Dec that is only this week! How are you feeling / coping etc. I hope you are not to uncomfortable, especially with a toddler!
Sozza, you must be very local to me, I am near Hall Place?
Eviesnan, good luck for the 29th - the fear of the unknown is much worse than the reality
Good night ladies, sleep well x
Hello everyone - I live in Dartford with my partner and two Jack Russells - so quite close to some of you. I was diagnosed (2nd time!) end of October and had mastectomy on 9 November. Am waiting on appointment with oncologist to see what further treatment I need. I’d love to meet up in the NY to have a chat with fellow survivors!
Hiya kentish girlies
Ooops i forgot i started this pmsl!
I’ll be at darenth for my treatment which i finally found out today withh be on 10th Jan - ive waited 6 weeks and a day just for the appointment! I think they screwed up and lost me somewhere along the line so im not too impressed really!
Anyway, yes a meet sounds pretty cool as we are all nearish
my treatment is going to be as follows :- 3 x fec, 3 x tax, 3 1/2 weeks of rads in maidstone after that lot, followed by a nice dose of herceptin for eith 6 or 12 months and then 5 years of tamoxifen! lol. how many drugs? gotta laugh or i’ll cry!!
speak soon girlies!!
luv jo
