I have a phone number for a cleaner. .a lady that lives in the area and works for herself so will sort that out for next week !
Never thought it would come to this but it seems I’m not alone with struggling with cleaning.
I don’t have a breast care nurse either …
More rain here today …surely we must be running out of rain /snow by now …sunshine and vitamin D needed for us all but hey hoo …clocks change tonight so nice light evenings again.

You are made of strong stuff and are going to kick these intruders into next week!!
Hugs Janette xx
Hello …thanks for all the support …what lovely people you all are .
Why is it when you get up late in pj’s, no make up and hair stood up like you’ve put your finger in an electric socket …you get visitors ! Yep that’s just happened to me …I hate it as I always like my slap on early etc etc …
Note to self: don’t let it happen again. .standards must be kept !!

Hi Carolyn
Just wanted to welcome you back to forum even though we have PM each other.
It is true when you decide to have a lazy day in pyjamas someone decides to call in. Same if house is abit untidy. I tend to all the housework myself including all the washing and ironing and food shopping. Typical of our generation even though I worked for 40 years. Younger people tend to share all the chores which is much fairer.
I have often said to children if anything happened to me hubby would have to go in nursing home.
Keep in touch.
Linda
Welcome back Carolyn, really sorry to hear about your progression but there are lots of treatments out there to help blast the little *uggers. Wishing you all the best with your treatment, missed you on the forum.
Love Helen xx
Isn’t it lovely to see everybody back here posting more again …nice to log on and see new postings so keep it coming ladies …don’t be shy …we don’t bite …well only if we haven’t got any chocolate stashed!
I think men on their own get more spoilt and pampered by family and neighbours whereas women just get expected to cope …hence nursing homes !!
Just been out and done some retail therapy again …bought a new vaccum cleaner for the cleaner when she starts …I already have 3 that make a lot of noise but no suck !!! I’ve bought a Henry …tried and tested and old fashion …but hubby was mean and wouldn’t let me buy a pink Hetty which I preferred so it’s a blue Henry smiling at me now !!

Hi Carolyn
Really pleased you have got cleaner sorted. Takes all the stress off you.
Yes we all need abit retail therapy. I love shopping for new clothes and shops. Not bought much over winter though.
Do you start new treatment this week?

Ha ha.
Not easy to do all this on your own though but hope u have good support from others around .

Yes Thursday is the day but I’ve read that the side effects are serious retail therapy and the need to spend money ! So not my fault !!

Evening Carolyn
Do you know what dose of Everolimus you are going to be on? I was started on 10ng but changed 5mg after 3 months.
I was still working 31 hours when I started Everolimus. I had extreme fatigue on 10mg acne spots and itching skin everywhere. Once dose was changed all the side effects disappeared.
I really hope you do well on the treatment.
Linda
Hello ladies, never thought I’d be here again… I had TNBC grade 3 in 2013…thought I’d cracked it. Just been told that cancer cells have been found to my chest bone. The nurse told me that this was treatable and I would have to take bone strengthening tablets. Have my appointment today to find out all the details.
I’ve had a read through of the messages, not all mind as there is ‘loads’ but it’s been real helpful as to what to expect and given me ideas as to what I need to ask. Amazing how you can read at 2am onwards. Nerves are definitely getting the better of me x will compare my treatment notes once I know…be grateful for any advice ?xx
Hello silver lining
Cancer is a lonely journey as family and friends just think it’s about taking a few pills / chemo and its gone like the flu !! People don’t realise that most of our treatment is ongoing back to back stuff either.
What treatment are you on after 3 years of secondary?
Hiya lyndyloo
Not sure of dosage yet but he did say start small and he could always increase it …aagh.
Hello MArley pop
Welcome to the threads …wishing you all the best today with treatment plan …it’s a huge kick in the teeth when just as you think you have conquered it all …it comes back but you will feel better when you know exactly what the regime is going to be.
Whatever it is. …let’s hope it kicks the little blighters .
Hugs xxc
Hiya silver
No your treatment is the first line regime and letrozole is doing it’s magic for you by controlling the pelvic mets so enjoy just popping that little pill every day …
Just to recap …I was dx with primary bc 2004 …did the lumpectomy, chemo and rads with tamoxifen etc.
Went 11 years clear. .well and healthy. .only saw gp twice in that time ( that was mosquito bites!! ) and then started getting hip pain … ( thought it old age as moved house) doc dx sciatica / arthritis !
Scan showed mets in femur , hip , spine and pelvis Oct 2015 …had a femur pin to support hip etc and then just letrozole and denosumab to now …
Letrozole can work for years …we have ladies here 7/8 years on just this little daily pill …things have progressed for me but I have had a good long run with minimum problems but I’m 65 and retired so don’t have the hassle of working these days ( I retired 3 years ago)
So enjoy life now …I’m sure your daughters will be there for you if you need them but at the moment probably see you as fit and well so sort of forget things.
Thursday is the new treatment day …aagh .

Hi Carolyn
Starting on small sounds a good plan. Maximum dose is 10mg but there is also 5mg and 2mg. Don’t know why the hospital I attend seem to start on the high and if you can’t tolerate it reduce. Had same when I started higher dose first then reduced.
I am sure on the lower dose you will be fine. I took both tablets after having my evening meal. Never stuck to same time each day.
If you and hubby still go abroad on holiday you will be fine. I did sometimes twice a year.
Good luck.
Linda
Afternoon marleypop
Welcome to the forum. If have come to the right place for support. I found this forum by chance in 2009 when I was diagnosed with bone mets at same time. After chemo and Rads finished in April 2010 I was put on Letrozole and tablets for bone mets. Stayed on that treatment for 4 years. Then was changed to E/E.
They now class bone mets as a chronic illness. I was told at the time people live for years with this condition.
