ha ha Barbs stop poaching our maisies!!!
But you are right I find it great having dual membership to July and August although July really quiet thread
If anyone has joint membership does that mean we get to go to 2 reunions ha ha
Of course it does Cheza- I’m up for two x
Barbs you make me laugh with your paoching- maybe Julie is sitting on the fence with one foot either side. What else could she sit on with her feet one on each side? Answers on a postcard girls!!!xxx
Sam I think if I answered that I might get kicked off the forum!!!
something just amused me as I was texting Lynsey letting her know the maisies are thinking of her.
Type maisies into predictive text and what word do you get??? Try it very appropriate for chemo me thinks
aw no way i get NAUSEA every time ha ha
Hello Maisies
Welcome to the new ladies. Good luck to those being dunked tomorrow. Hope all goes smoothly and minimal side effects.
Well I sat here waiting for the district nurse (picc line flush) until 3.45 pm, then decided to phone up. Good job I did, because they had forgotten to put me on the visit list for today! Hope I do not have this problem every Monday, and they get their act together.
I was very brave earlier, and walked up to my brother’s house for tea without any headwear. Got a few strange stares, but I stared back at them. This evening on my way back home, I had a girl aged about 18, give me a really weird look :smileysurprised:…so as I was walking past her, I said to her, yes I have very little hair, have you never seen a bald headed person before…and I carried on walking. She really annoyed me, because she looked at me as though I was an alien from outer space. No one gives a bald headed man a second glance…should be the same for women. Guess eventually I will get used to all the weird looks :smileyfrustrated:
Hope you all manage to get a good nights sleep x
I get missiles!!!
ha must be just my silly phone. It gives me nausea everytime I put maisies
Lucy pardon the pun but hats off to you for doing that. I hate the looks i get with a scarf on let alone what reaction would get if I dared to bare. Was so uncomfortably hot today though even with just a sunhat. You would think people would be less rude but sadly no. TBH dont even know if its rudeness or just curiosity. Think I would just prefer someone to ask me maybe I dont know
Good look to the maisies up tomorrow julie66 and chrissie49 sending big hugs girls.
Have a lovely time tomorrow sam. Chezza I wish I had lost a stone in two days lol! Me thinks it is still lurking in there somewhere oh the joys.
Glad you are ok now penn and they got you sorted and welcome back lyndsey get plenty of rest hun debs x x x
ha ha lol anyway Barb you are still an honorary August gal. I will certainly be popping into the stars to see how you are all getting on. From what Ive read off other threads I think theres points when as a group you feel quite down and deflated especially at the half way stage or when you change to tax etc. Think knowing what to expect is half the battle. I follow June jewels posts too in fact am meeting 2 jewels tomorrow for tea in the pub. Its such a support to meet people little bit further on when you see how well they are doing it gives you hope.
Anyways my nighttime hot choccy and book are calling
peaceful sleep to all
catch you tomorrow xxx
ah gold63 missed your post!!!
Yes its me my dear will text you tomorrow as its getting late now
thanks Pen was only through reading your last post I realised had missed new maisie
Goodnight all you wonderful girls who keep me going, love & big hugs to all xx
Hi
had my treatment 23rd and am ok not doing too badly was sick twice and nausea for 2 days but manable. I am scared that i may be hit with a truck in next few days main problem is enerergy level very low feel very heavy .Just read Lynsey home from hospital didnt know what had happened unable to get to grips with new site . thanks for thinking about me, hope everyone else is coping, good luck to all those up tomorrow much love Gill x
An early good morning to everyone! Woke up at 4am (joints arching) and decided to give hubby more time to sleep 
I’ll get a nap in later on.
Do any of you work? I am so fortunate that we just moved here and I haven’t had a chance to look for a job…feel a bit guilty but hubby says that getting me well is now my full time job.
My community has been awesome; a few of the ladies accompanied me to get my hair cut short (it was shoulder length) and the stylist didn’t even charge me. She will let the kids (19, 17, 14) shave my head once my hair starts falling off (I decided not to go with a wig, but bought some cute hats and scarves).
Dinner has been delivered every other day which has been wonderful…I’m trying to cook, but keep screwing up since I can’t think straight…LOL
I bit my lip last night and it’s still a bit swollen…guess it takes longer for things to heal.
Sorry, I kind of feel I’m bragging, but just wanted to be more positive today. Hope everyone has a good Tuesday!
Hi Maisie’s, hope you are all doing ok. Just popped over from the Stars to ask a favour. Apart from a sick bucket can anyone give me any idea of what essential and helpful items would help me through the SE ofchemo and make it slightly more bearable. Any tips on what has helped you through would be very much appreciated. My first session is on the 3rd so I would like to be able to get some things together while I am still in control of things. Thanks a lot ladies. Love and hugs to you all.
Rollercoaster, my next dunk is on 12 September…poison is docetaxel for right now…changes to FEC at cycle 4. Smoothy worked like a champ but now feeling pretty week. Gonna get some rest, hopefully feel a bit better after on.
Morning Maisie’s, sleep at 12, awake at 2, sleep at 4 then wide awake since 5 now I’m shattered cant sleep, what’s the answer to that? Or any tips?
Hope everybody who is up at bar or apps today has a smooth running!
My 2nd dunking 2 weeks today so hoping I start feeling bit ‘normal’ again soon.
Daughter bk at uni today, well moves in her new place & Oh bk at work so it’s me & the dog!!
Yippee im back! Talk about a baptism of fire! Well hopefully my onc will put me on emend next time. I did ask for it before i started but they said no lol
thank you for thinking about me Chezza was letting me know.

Good luck to those at the bar today hope your se’s are kind to you.
I laughed at maisies = nausea on chezzas phone very appropriate for what i went through! Lol
xx
Welcome home Lynsey sounds like you went through same as me , my onc changed me on to emend so hopefully you will be too . Chrissy hope you and the dog manage to have a good day home alone , mention your lack of sleep at your next apt my onc has put me on sleeping tabs now . Well done to Gilly for creating A fantastic Facebook page clever lady 
, hope julie66 and chrissie49 get through their dunkings today and anyone else with apts. I have a meeting with HR at work to see how I’m getting on now I’ve hAd ten weeks off , how funny lol then got my nails done so that will cheer me up have a good day all x
Morning maisies
well its dull here in Manchester bloody typical as am meant to be going to park for a picnic with my little crust snatchers.
Gilly I dont really do FB much but will try and open the link and have a look and a like.
Pas The Boss - I think the essentials are ginger biccies, sea bands, a decent mouthwash and lots of water. That is if you are having EC or FEC combination.
Bonski lots of people report hair growing back on Tax and as you are on that first will be interesting to see if just on the tax part the hair loss is as extensive as us that are on EC or FEC. It may give us some hope if yours isnt too much!!!
Welcome back Venice. Lynsey had passed on the message that she had seen you at the hospital and you were doing ok with the chemo.
Good luck Jacqui with your long wait!
Julie 66 dont know if you are having chemo or it depends on your bloods today so good luck either way
Sam have a great day with the strawberry tea
