Hiya lovelies,
I had an afternoon appointment and only got home a couple of hours ago. Early days but so far better than expected and pink pee to boot! We can do this!!!
Lots of love to you all,
Isabelle xx
Oh my life why do I not proof read before I post. Obviously I meant good not dark. So sorry ???
Hi Tina, i had a bone scan last week. When are you booked?
Hello
I am still fine. Bit tired but nothing of note. Had a few minor heart palpitations with the anti sickness tablets, so just going to leave last one and try other type as per hospital. No nausea at all though. Gave myself neulasta injection earlier so wondering if will be ok with that. So far so good generally. X
Hi ladies
I am feeling great slight hangover feeling this morning but have just had a nap so feel fine.Yes i too had red wee…
Tina i don’t know where you live (i am in essex) but in my pre assessment chemo talk they told me that macmillan offer free massages,reflexology etc for patients partners and carers. You will feel so much better once you get your first chemo session out of the way because you will feel like finally you are moving forward
Flower and isabelle glad you are both feeling well. I watched an amazing lecture on nutrition with cancer on you tube i can thoroughly recommend it it was called cancer nutritiin myths controversies and realities by carolyn katzkin i think her name was…really useful. I have also been told that ginger was put into a petri dish with cancer cells and it killed them. Don’t know how true it is but i am eating everything gingery at the moment ?
Hiya all,
I was awake most of the night with aches, headache and nausea. They have continued today with vomiting too earlier. Hopefully I’m in for a better night tonight.
Love to you all, Isabelle
Yes Tina, you’re injected first with the radio active substance and return 3hrs later to have the photos taken. The photos take 20mins and it’s all fine.
Today went well although a very long day. Had the line fitted first which was horrible and it’s so uncomfortable around my neck & throat area. The cold cap was fine … very cold to start but you very quickly get used to it.
I feel OK at the moment, just knackered.
Hope all goes OK for you. Be strong & determined and you’ll be absolutely fine.

Oh Isabelle, I hope you have a good nights sleep and feel a littel better tomorrow
Geraldine xx
Hope you sleep better tonight Isobelle x
I have no nausea at moment, but have been drinking pukka ginger and tumeric tea. Yummy and 50% ginger in it which is more than lots of other brands. X
Thanks Isobelle xx
Tina, yes around 4.5hrs inorder to fit cap etc. Shouldn’t be as long next time. Xx
Sorry Tina, i thought you were referring to yrsterday.
Re bone scan i went off to do some errands & wrnt back xx
Hi Geraldine and isabelle
How did you sleep?
Geraldine did you ask about the car park charges? X
Wosteart…how are you feeling? X
Thank you Flower, Geraldine and Tina,
I had a much better night. I woke up for an hour which actually gave me a chance to keep my meds topped up. The steroids are causing a slightly bloated face but other than that I’m feeling ok :)
Thinking of you all,
love Isabelle x
Thanks ladies, i slept well & feel ok today, just exhausted & a bit queasy. Lying on the sofa all day watching rubbish tv & managing to eat small amounts. You’ll be fine Tina & will be well looked after xx
Yes, take a couple of paracetamol a couple of hours before. What time are you booked? X
Hiya, I’ve mostly achy late this afternoon but everyday is a day closer to this finishing right? About cold capping, I’ve heard it’s best to take paracetemol before hand and take whatever you can to keep warm, those microwaveable wheat bags, blankets, scarves etc xxx
Best of luck for tomorrow Tina we will all be thinking of you xx
Geraldine,isabelle, flower glad everyone seems okay it sounds like we all have similar side effects…is anyone on AC-T
Tracy xx
Just checking in…still ok…tired most of the time but otherwise ok…went or a short walk earlier. Good luck for tomorrow x
