anyone starting chemo in August?

Tylerrose, that is exactly how I am feeling…like a hangover without the fun.  I lost my sense of taste a couple days ago…everything tastes like crap…maybe I should try eating liver and onions or brussel sprouts (Yuck!) :wink:

 

Rollercoaster, sorry to hear about all your troubles and hoping you can relax for the rest of the day!

 

I’m following this thread on my iPad but having a hard time navigating it.  I’m sure it’s just this ‘wappie’ feeling.  

 

I’d like to apologize in advance if I offend anyone with my word usage.  I know that even though our language is the same, words may have different meanings (US vs UK)

Actually liver and onions sounds good just need something with a bit of flavour everything tastes the same a the moment crap is exactly the word to use lol xxxx

Roller coaster I’m up for my 2 nd dunking on the 9 th sept too,

bonski68 I just put any fruit in my smoothies & too be fair it worked, thank the lord, I used pineapple, raspberries, banana, apple & bit juice, also my lovely sister in law came yest with a batch of home made soup, butternut squash, carrots, onions, red, green & yellow pepper & a pinch of 5 spice , delicious & def helps the bowel movements lol xxx

 

Hi Maisies - Its a beautiful sunny warm day down here in the South - just going to sit in the garden for a bit.

 

I’m not up for second dunking until 11th September - quite a few of us close together.  Thankfully the jitters have now worn off but I’ve got the sore mouth and ulcers now.  Feeling a bit tired but not too bad.

 

Bonski68 welcome to the maisies. I had real probs with constipation and no amount of veg and fruit seemed to work so had to resort to take senakot at night that did the trick and felt so much better.

 

Hope spikeyred is ok and they get her sorted asap sending a big hug hun.

Thank god for penns list :slight_smile: so glad you have got sorted Penn and hugs to Spikeyred bless her xx welcome bonski68 , and huge well done Lucy on the head shave , so many of us have had to take the plunge now , gilly hope your ears feel better soon Hun you really are suffering with them , it’s my sore mouth for me :frowning: , re constipation I swear by a bowl of prunes in the morning for 2 days and I’m fine fortuantly I like them lol xxxx

Good news Penn and spikey.
Christy that soup sounds delicious. Never thought of homemade veg soup as a cure for constipation, maybe I’ll get my mother-in-law to make me some when she’s staying here for the week.
Breezy your lamb tagine sounds yummy but you can keep your bowl of prunes to yourself-yuck!
Welcome Bonski. Suspect you won’t be so thrilled with the weather from about October onwards…!

A see food diet, the best kind! Lol

Ooo now they do sound good Penn now you have me wondering what to do for pudding lol I’ve never eaten so much since I started chemo or maybe it’s because I’ve had ten weeks off work now , I was Lways dashing around before and bc has taught me anything it’s not to get so stressed and bogged down with stupid things that really do not matter I hope that stays with me x

Hi ladies, how do you all seem to be doing so much? I thought I was having a good day, got up, showered, washed the baldy, stripped the bed, then was shattered? I need some energy, just lay on the bed & cried my eyes out for no reason, very strange goings on! Xxx

Oh penny home made scones home made jam and cream that’s made my mouth water I need a penny in my kitchen, glad spikeyred is on the mend xxxxx Rose

Christymay I had tears this morning for know reason we all feel down from time to time but I said to my self wipe your eyes and cheer up didn’t let anyone see me had a quiet afternoon by my self and now feel fine luv to all Rose

Thanks penn,you always seem to be so positive & that’s fantastic, hopefully I will feel like that again soon! & your organised & seem to be keeping things together on here, your amazing penn xx

Supposed to be my first dunking tomorrow so will turn up at 8.15 but don’t think it will go ahead as despite all the antibiotics my temp is still about 38 and still some redness on chest- sometimes wonder if ill ever get started. So frustrating, also should get my bone scan results this week too, can’t say I’m looking forward to the week.

Hi Maisies,

 

Sorry not been about but  we were out  yesterday and today I have been running about getting things for the strawberry tea  tomorrow and then sorting everything out for it.

I think we should change teh group sname to the Weebles with all this wobbliness going on. Glad Spikey red is ok and Penn good to hear you got your Picc line sorted. Hope all these sore mouths sort themselves out soon.

 

Welcome to the new ladies, I was here early but not starting until September now!!

good luck to  the ladies  up tomorrow, i know one is you Julie66(fingers crossed) and someone  is having a second dunking just can’t remember who. (sorry)

 

 

hi, i am due to start chemo on thurs 29th.  was supposed to have a central line in as my veins are shot, but somehow this hasn’t happened, so i don’t know if it will go ahead or not!  i had a mastectomy in june, with lnc in july.  i also spent 4 days in hospital with a drain infection.  this has been such a lovely summer once it got started, and i have spent all of it waiting, waiting, waiting.  i have fibromyalgia, sjogrens and ibs, and all this isn’t doing me any good. just hope i can get going on thurs

Wow 4 pages to catch up with!!!

 

Hi to emn, bonski and Genevre so sorry we missed your post.  Wish there was a first unread option it was so much easier that way.
