Ha ha …isn’t it strange but the minute you smash the actual egg …the battle is lost …you can try wrapping up half back in foil for another day but sods law …you reach for it within an hour and finish it …then spend the rest of the day sucking Rennie tablets !!
I don’t like crisps or sweets either especially those haribos. .ugh .
???
Tatiana, Haha yes I am old enough to remember the Malteser ad, and I agree chocolate calories don’t count over easter!!
Carolyn that’s exactly what I did last night, broke up half a shell and “hid” the other half from myself until today…within half an hour first half was eaten and I was into the second shell, to be fair hubby did help me and I haven’t eaten the chocolate bunnies that came with it…until later!!!

Hope everyone has had a good easter day …I’m chomping Rennie tablets as made a pig of myself with easter eggs …got to live up to my reputation.
Hugs xx???
Hi Nicky, lovely to hear from you, and what better news too, 10 year since your dx!!! Love when I read posts like this, it gives us all hope and confidence for the future! I’m just over the 4 year mark ??? And am so grateful to still be around, go back 4 years and I didn’t think I would see the year out!! My little girl gets married next Oct and cannot wait to see that day.
Well its a totally rubbish day here today lots of wind and rain so a lazy day ahead me thinks!
Hugs Janette xx

Good morning ladies
Up early today …new pills gave me the early morning trots so here I am bright and early.( tmi)
The new E and E regime has changed my routine now as every 4 weeks I have to go to the chemo unit to collect them and have the bone juice.
BUT: I get a little mot first …bloods, pressure, heart temperature and I get weighed …now this is like Weight watchers / fat club in reverse as if u loose a pound …nurse says “oh dearie me” and u don’t get a sticky gold star but asked if u are eating ok !!
Anyway have a good day might try a bit more zzzzzz
Hi Carolyn
Sounds like treatment is going OK apart from trots. It is a bit of a pain having to go to chemo unit more regularly. Everolimus can cause raised sugar levels and high cholesterol so they should check for that. as well. Fortunately it not affect my levels.
As I mentioned before I used to take tablets in the evening whether that makes any difference not sure.
Wish weather would Improve so I can get out for a walk or do abit gardening. Have not cut grass yet this year.
Linda
I have just been diagnosed with bone mets in the spine and pelvis and am so scared. I feel so well and have just walked five miles. No pain. Can’t believe I’m so ill. What will my life be like? Any thoughts welcome please x
Hiya lyndyloo
Have pm you …these tablets are a bit of a challenge now on day 5 …
But I’m going to keep going and see if the side effects ease as time goes on.
Hubs has cabin fever …dying to get out on his garden too …sunshine out now here after a damp day.

Hello Anne
Sorry you have had to join us …it’s a bit of a kick in the teeth when you get the dreaded dx of secondaries.
Obviously you are waiting for details of a treatment plan and until you know what …we can’t really offer much advice. If could be a hormone pill like letrozole or similar and a monthly bone injection called denosumab which is easy peasy to tolerate.
Most of us here are on it and cope well …
Anyway …please keep in touch and we are all here to offer a bit of daily banter, advice and support for you …it all becomes the normal way of life as time goes on.
Hugs xx
Hi Anne, welcome to the forum but sorry you have had to join us, it’s still very early days for you, have you been given a treatment plan yet? As Carolyn has already said, once you know what treatment you are going to be on we can offer more advice.
I know it’s a very scary time for you and there is a lot to take in, please feel free to to ask away any questions, worries etc.
Hugs Janette x
Thank you for replying. It’s hard not to see it as an immediate death sentence! It’s so helpful to hear from people who have coped and are coping
Thank you. I am seeing the oncologist on
Monday. Then I start chemo
I’m not sure if my reply posted or not! I meet with the oncologist on Monday. Then I start chemo. It’s very hard to take all this in! It’s so helpful to hear from people who’ve been through this
Anne
It looks like your oncologist is on the ball and going in heavy with chemo first …everyone has a individual treatment plan which suits them …I’m sure as you are so active and fit …the chemo will be well tolerated by you …and give the little blighters a good kicking.
Please keep in touch with us so we can support you …we don’t bite !!

Thank you for replying. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Such a help to hear from people who understand
That is good Anne that things are in place, please keep us posted, take care.
Hugs Janette xx
Wow. .what a wild and windy night we had …I had my bedroom window open but the wind blew the curtain over my face … which woke me up with a scare !!
Hubs had to secure garden furniture and canopy which was in danger of ending up in space !
All calm here now xxxx
