Morning all,
Brilliant news @gromit12 glad 2nd time has (touches wood) went smoother for you, hopefully today goes just as well.
Any advise for mouth ulcers on the inside off your lip 
I could feel something brewing last night before bed & this morning Ive got 2 & mouth just feels weird in general today 
I’m brushing my teeth & mouth washing as it is, however think ive got some gel I can stick on, anyone else had similar?
I managed 5000+ steps yesterday & slept like a log, its the most Ive been able to walk so far since starting chemo 
my belly situation has also calmed down which is AMAZING 
however my taste buds are still shattered 
anyway its all getting back to some sort off normal all in time for round 2 on thursday 
Have a lovely weekend all xx

First question the pharmacist asked was you’re not immuno suppressed are you 
fortunately a hard copy letter arrived from oncology just as I was leaving to say I needed the COVID jab today 
So which side do I lie in tonight? Percy the PICC line or the jab site!!!

@ivegotthis01 well done in your step count, I’m convinced my exercise is really helping me, if only fresh air, I walk every day regardless even if it’s just across to the park. Even ran a race last weekend- albeit a bit slower than usual!
As for mouth ulcers- it was my tongue that was so sore. Hospital gave me this
I asked for some more when I was in on Thursday as it really numbed my mouth xx

OMG @gromit12 that looks like my worst nightmare - I really hate needles. I am now so scared - 18 weeks of that. I’ve got to think about this how not to have it.good for you - amazing you are all doing so well - I can’t go back to look at it 
. Take care x

Thanks I will see if I can get my hands on some before Thursday if not am asking 
I normally take my dog out, (he runs for his ball, I will stand 
) but yesterday I felt that I could walk round the field with him again - its the little things right

@collywobbles it’s not really, there is no needle left in, just a fine tube and I don’t notice it’s there. Wear a PICC cover. Sorry if my pic upset you, I will try to remove it xx
PS pic removed xx

Thanks! I hope it arrives soon! Definitely post a pic xx
Hi @collywobbles, it’s hard to take it all in we’ve all been the same here and still learning. Try to take it one day at a time I know it’s hard. It’s surprising how what initially worry’s you soon passes and then your on the next step of the journey. My hair came out few weeks back and I hated that but am now used to it, I got a lovely wig but find I like head tubing more comfy. I don’t have a picc line mines is given through cannula. Everyone’s seems different. Sending hugs

Aw thanks xx
This happened to me 2 weeks ago. I couldn’t stand hairs coming out everywhere and I found that worse. . Now 2 weeks on I wouldn’t say I’m used to it but rarely see it lol as have it covered constantly because I’m freezing but have a nice wig if needed. I’ve ordered lovely headbands which I put over the wig and tuck hair in if it’s windy xxxx

Thanks everyone it’s off now and I really thought I would feel sad as only 2 years I donated my long blonde hair to the Princess trust and had just managed to grow it back when I received my diagnosis.
Anyway I actually feel quite liberated and free !!
I’ve a few soft hats but have also been wearing a deep headband ( from one of the hats) to catch my hair but going forward I think I will be a hairband and cap girl .
Have a lovely weekend all B x
