Hope your first chemo wasn’t too bad Jo. Let us know when you are feeling human and hopefully we can arrange a date that suits everyone.
Stargazerlily happy to travel with you as well as Julie

Lol - trying to post on my phone is not a good idea as this went in the wrong place! Ha ha
Surely it’s a bit early for chemo brain yet isn’t it? :)))) pmsl
Hi Everyone, looking like 1st is a possibility to meet for most of us, I’m not sure wineoclock, I would think you may not feel like much on the 1st but doubt 3rd will be much different, you may feel fine. I am happy to come to Bluewater or host, shall we vote?!! lol, xx
Hi
I would have loved to join you ladies, but I start rads on the 25th Jan so will be in the middle of that when you meet up. Would love to come on the next one though,

Hi
Sorry have been a bit quiet…guess what I’ve finished my 6th and final chemo. To all those that are just starting it does come round quickly - just focus on your planned programme of dates and it will soon go by.
I saw my consultant at Dareth Valley on Tuesday and surgery booked for 15th Feb. Unfortunately looks like the tumour has died in patches rather than shrinking completely (which is common) so probably a masectomy for me but I’m OK with that. Then 5 weeks of radio everyday. I had 3 lots of Fec T, 2 lots of taxotere (which I was allergic too!!) and then was swapped back to Fec T for my 6th.
I can’t really advise on Tax as I was allergic and had extreme side effects but I was OK on FEC T. Lots of nausea and tiredness and breath felt like I smoked 60 fags a day but it was manageable.
I don’t work Wednesdays so could make the 1st Feb however I will have my 3 yr old daughter with me but she loves a gossip xx
hiya all
think i’ll play it by ear and it’ll be a last minute decision for 1st feb - i’d so like to meet you all thou!
xxxx
where are you all meeting anyway? has it been sorted?

Hi
Not sure if anything is happening tomorrow? I was discharged from Darent Valley last night after a 8 day mini break! I caught a nasty bug and remained neutropenic for 5 days as my bone marrow took the hit. But apart from a cold I’m ok and stuffing my face on flapjacks after 8 days of hospital food. Back in this evening to finalise surgery with my surgeon. I have booked to go on the Look Good Feel Good make up/hair workshop at Maidstone Hospital on 19th March. There are still some spaces if anyone is interested have a look on the website. I here the goody bag is fabulous x
Hi,
Sorry to hear you’ve not been well, glad you are feeling better now! Nothing has been arranged for tomorrow, but I’m still free if anyone wants to meet up?
What time is the LGFB workshop on the 19th? I could attend but would need to be back in time to pick my little one up from nursery…
Hello Kent girls! Just back from my meeting with onc at Darent Valley to go thru the regime - going to have 4 cycles of AC - 3 weeks apart. He told me I should have my first lot in around 10-12 days. I’ll keep an eye on posts as to a meet up cos I have no idea how I’ll be feeling but have requested the strongest of anti-sickness meds due to my vomiting phobia!
Does anybody recommend the cold cap or do you think its not worth it?
Jan

Hiya
I’m with u there on the anti sickness as I too have mega phobia!
Well had my 2nd chemo at 11 today and so far I feel better than I did with my first- will this last I wonder?
Take care ladies xx
Hi Wineoclock
I really really hope you keep feeling OK!! The onc knows about my phobia and lots of people on here recommended Emmend so I asked him could I have that. He said he’d never heard of it but said he would give me Ondansetron which is the best he knows about. So guess I’ll be having that! Have you actually been sick or just felt nauseous?

Hi all,
I checked the site a few days ago and it was all quiet. Everyone seems to have been on it today!!

Hi all I too am from Kent. I live in a little village near Dover. I finished my treatment in october. Had lumpectomy, Node clearence FECT chemo and radiotherapy. I would really like to meet up with everyone. I have 3 friends who have also had breast cancer who i’m sure would also like to meet up. Will keep checking the site to see if any dates suggested. Just a suggestion how about somewhere like the ramada at maidstone? An evening would be great.For any of you just starting on the chemo road it is doable x
