Whoops - soz Angie - not looking at my screen properly and didn’t see the ‘Whisper back’ bit. Oh well, I’ve ‘outed’ you now!
Nicky x
hi everyone, nice to hear you all so cheery, keep it up girls! FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT WITH ALL OUR MIGHT! cant keep us down ey!
lily 2000
what was the info on tamoxifen on tele i missed that. and YIPPEE you got there! well done. you just got to do the recovery bit now. what do you find to do when you cant sleep in the night, or shouldnt i ask?
am i the only one, who likes to get out of the house as much as possible, i cant be bothered with housework, trouble is ive had to cut down on the cream cakes now, (erghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) its not fair. had to go into a size 18 trousers today, so im pretty fed up. my big toe nail is coming off as well, anyone elses after fec.
kirsty that was funny that happening, strange the things we notice while were going through this.
thanks everyone for all your kind thoughts we have the funeral next wednsday, so sad, they havnt even found out the cause of death, not that it makes it any easier for her partner. i would hate not being able to put things in order. one thing ;i have noticed since having this, you do prioritise and focus on whats important., not a moment is wasted, i live my life better than before. same probably for a lot of you.
everyone take care, and hope those still going through treatment will find the strength to endure, and those finished will have a good old knees up.
god bless x
Hi,
well number 11 is almost on its way out ,I hope, and gearing myself up for the mega mighty number 12 on Tuesday, it seems unreal after all this time. 193 days on chemo and 3 to go !!! As much as I am glad to be ending this bit, I feel a little anxious as well, as I sort of felt that any little changes were always being curtailed. Still we have to trust/believe in our treatment and move along I guess. Tuesday is my last chemo and my big chat with the prof, not good timing as I have to stay there all day (that is assuming they haven’t left me sitting there anyway!) and will be pumped full of piriton and like a wilted lettuce on legs! I am trying to write my questions down this week. Any good ones for me to ask? I am thinking of saying I really want Arimidex, do you think this is a good one to go for? I don’t feel I know enough about this yet to argue my case.
Julia, are you getting excited about this yet? The long distance marathon runners are at last spotted and heading for the final lap!!! I am very puzzled still by your hormone status and use of herceptin, could you be both as some people are? Anyway good luck in understanding all that, you better have lots of questions written down before you go in, in case they confuse you even more. I am ER+ and PR+ so rads then hormones for me but no idea which yet. No-one knows what my menopausal status is. I have asked to have it added to my blood test each time but get fobbed off so still not done. That is all I need on Tuesday after chemo, unless I get them to save some blood from my port when they start! Nolvadex-d just seems to be a brand of tamoxifen that gives people fewer hot sweats, etc than another brand from what I can gather. I have read that you have to be careful not to keep switching brands, as some chemists do. My nurse had read about it so not sure where it was written originally. There are threads about people asking their GP for it instead of tamoxifen (brand name). Need to find out more. I will send you my hairbands if you have the monk’s bald bit on the top. Mine is growing fast and thickening up, which it needed to and just like a short style now. The dye transformed it. John was better on strictly tonight but still wooden, don’t you think! Enjoy the weekend and will be screaming with you on Tuesday if awake!! Take care and stay well x x.
Nicky I am jealous you are watching Daniel at the pictures tonight. I am busting to go but not taking any chances with bugs and also eye sight is a bit weird. I popped into matalan and when I looked down the shop I got vertigo and had to crawl to the door and go home - not literally. Once sitting in the car I was fine but could not walk and look. I guess at least if they are taking their time with your appointment it won’t panic you so much about your heart? As soon as I hear the words get you in quick, I panic! My friend loses lots of weight on beta blockers, so that would at least be a good compromise if it happens. I am not really happy about all the SE of the hormones, I keep reading about, seems to be a bit of a minefield. I though the last bit would be simple, swallow a tablet and go, foolish me. I am not looking forward to going back to surgery either, have lost my nerve again. A hair trim might be good, I had a lot cut off and was amazed to see it made it look like more hair, luckily I was not infront of a mirror until the end or might have screamed when my old friends the long bits got the chop. Angie thanks for the kind wishes, you know how we are feeling. Any news on your next step yet and what hormones you will have? A trickier one for you I think.
Lorraine, that must make it so difficult not knowing why the poor lady died and I will be thinking of you all on Wednesday. I hope everyone else’s health holds up on the day as it will be stressful.You are jumping the gun for me though, one more dose next week but still cheerful about getting to the end, thank you. I do jigsaws on my buzzy steroid nights as I can sit still but it uses my brain. I have done dozens and all the family join in if it is not done when they come round. I have a cleaner once a fortnight so I don’t have to go near any bugs now I have a housefull of men! It is a luxury but not too much and she does all the repetitive arm things that can cause lymphoedema so I tell myself it is like medicine!! When i go back to work, it has to be full time so I will not be able to cope with everything at once, so I can give her a key. No-one else will do loos and bathrooms so I am treating myself to help.
Lisa I hope you are ok and that the SE have not hit you straight away, let us know how your genetics appointment goes and hopefully not more bad news of things to be done. Bevy and Kirsty hope you are ok and firing on both cylinders now.
I have got sort of cradle cap now, really annoying having a lumpy head after enjoying stroking my hair. Any idea how to get rid of it without chemicals?
Enjoy the weekend
Lily x
Hope everyone’s got sun near them and the long distance runners aren’t getting itchy feet (I got soooo restless just before my last one, like a puppy who can’t get to its toys 
Lily… just googled cradle cap and are you sure it is as the page I read said it’s not usually itchy. The page did also say this though:
"Nutritionally oriented practitioners have speculated that the disorder is caused by the baby’s immature digestive system being unable to absorb sufficient biotin and other vitamins of the B-complex. "
So it may have something to do with your low immune system and lack of folic acid… mention it to the nurses cause aren’t you on a Folic acid supplement with the CMF or did I imagine that?
We’ve decided to do a family christmas as we don’t see each other enough and my Mum’s house is now so super cramped that my Nan would barely fit down there so I’ve invited them all up here, so it’s going to be me and tommy, mum and her OH and his daughter and my Nan. Mum’s OH’s daughter has just moved in as well which is great news as her mother is , well how do I say this, the polite version would be a little unstable but that’s another story altogether and suffice it to say my sort of step sister is a lovely girl who really didn’t deserve the terrible quality of life she had so now she gets to be a proper 14 year old without having to look after everything for her mum anymore (who’s not ill just one of those people). We’re all glad that’s all sorted and may have played a big part in my Mums lack of desire to hear my genetic results.
Lots of love
Angie
PS: Lorraine really sorry you’re having such a sad time at the moment.
Hi: Having a quick catch up as have had mega cooking weekend and am about to collapse in heap and watch some crappy film. OH out until about 4 so can get a good sleep!!!
Well, Lily, we are nearly there although I have found the last few days quite trying and a bit emotional. Usually manage to keep up the “I’m OK me” stuff but every now and then you just think: sod it, I’m not alright so I am going to let go. Never mind. As you say, still have the questions about hormones and Herceptin to get sorted. But I have plenty of time as I don’t intend to start anything until I have finished the chip fryer! One thing at a time!! Yes John was better, but did you see Terry Wogan on the Children in Need thingy? Looked like a tree trunk with arms – dire or what??
Lorraine: we will all be with you on Wednesday no matter how lousy we feel after final dose on Tuesday. Good luck.
Angie, Lisa, Bevy, Kirsty and anyone else I have missed, have a good week and Lily and I will let you know how Tuesday goes.
Love to all
Julia

Hi,
well I know what Julia means about emotional, such a funny weekend but then ordinary too. Still as I have never heard any sort of cheers or happiness or good wishes in 12 visits, I guess my unit don’t do ‘last days’. I can understand why as people are at very different stages of their illness. I think all my friends and family need a rest from my constant chemo days and trying to remember to wish me well. Blood tests are just an inconvenience these days and £2.70 in car park fees, rather than an appointment. Perhaps I am getting brave in my old age! It is a busy week and I still have not sorted out questions for the Prof (onc). I am thinking of asking /begging for avastin as I read it was slightly more effective and less side effects in a trial with tamoxifen. Anyone know any bad stuff about it? I doubt I will get my choice but will put up a fight for a reason why not, if that is the case. I am starting to worry about going back to work as have not stepped in the door since end of March.I used to do so much work in the evenings and weekends and have got right out of it and not sure if I have the energy to even do as much as before. How are you all finding work after a long break?
Angie thanks, no it is not itchy just little bumps of skin, yes I do take vit B supplement on CMF but it is folinic acid rather than folic acid. Family Christmas sounds great, that is what I am hoping for too. I love Christmas and every seat taken and satsumas and turkey and presents galore for 2 days!! My favourite time of year. Will your ‘step sister’ be a bridesmaid now she is with them?
Julia we are wrecks aren’t we, just when everyone expects us to be blowing hooters and laughing. Well maybe when the side effects of the next are gone, as the second week can be quite bad for me. I am not having a rest, just getting sent straight off for the next challenge but that suits my temperament really. If I relax I won’t get going again and run off and hide. I did think it was important to start the hormones quite quickly though, I will try to check that out on Tuesday and get back to you. I have not really thought much about the rads apart from the annoying journey every day and hope that bit will go smoothly. Sounds like I was lucky to miss Terry Wogan but had quite a few laughs at the Prince Charles comedy event. You take care and here we go again. xxx
Hugs to everyone else
Lily x
Hi all,
well Lily thank goodness you are nearly there! regarding the hormone treatment I start my rads today (another part of this journey of ours) and took my first tamoxifen today! just hope I do not suddenly bloat out (as I am already now a stone overweight not a good look with a shiny bald head) and do not suddenly suffer from depression as I have my moments when if feel thoroughly hacked off anyway. I went away for the weekend to Chichester which was lovely but I felt really ill on Sat with a high temp again it seems that when I get really tired out I get a temp does that happen to anyone else! Also my arm and side are still really giving me discomfort that i guess the radiotherapy may aggravate. I guess I will need to wait until all the treatment is over and hope it gets better. I didn’t have any blood test to ascertain whether I was peri menopausal etc or if i did they have neve told me. I have been told I will be on Tamoxifen for a couple of years and then have a blood test to see if i am then postmenopausal with a view to then going on to one of the aramotose inhibitors. oood luck for tomorrow Lily and let us know what your Onc says.
I have been thinking maybe I should take some vit supplements but haven’t got a clue where to start? has anyone been to a nutrionalist regarding building the immune system back up and regaining energy levels?
Angie I am impressed you are doing the christmas entertaining! just make sure you get a lot of help. I am only cooking for 4 this year so that will be much easier than previous years but I will still need help as I am still experiencing real fatigue still I guess it is early days yet less than three weeks ago I was still on chemo.
Wishing Kirsty, Julila, Nicky, Lorraine, Lisa a good week too.
thinking of you all Bev x
So Lily and Julia… Last trip to the chemo unit tomorrow then… woohoo. Just a shame you have to wade through the side effects for the next few weeks (and pills right Julia?)
The radio is affecting me sadly as it’s making em really itchy, that will be the very sensitive skin and it has aggravated the surgery area under my armpit, just twinges nothing in comparison to just after surgery really. The main effect on me is actually on my appetite… I haven’t got one. Just too tired to eat. So I’ve gone from what I call not so little budha with the bowling ball belly and shiny head to the military look, very short grade 1 all over and losing weight rapidly. I’ve lost about a kilo in 2 weeks, but seeing as I gained nearly 10 during chemo that’s no bad thing right. I just need to be careful and not go back to my slightly anorexic from stress days.
Anyway everyone have a good day and we shall have to have an online party to celebrate won’t we. 
Lots of love
Angie
hiya all - will catch up on all the goss Ive missed later today but Im back at work at last!!!
Hope all well

Hi: Had the blood test this morning and was talking to the nurse about Herceptin. She suggested that as my Hormone response is low (weakly responsive on the path report) they may want to give me the big H in case non responsive cancer crept in. Anyone heard this before?
Also cheered me up by telling me her husband took six months to get over the tiredness having had three weeks of rads for prostrate cancer. Just what I need to hear - not!!! Let’s just hope that’s a man thing like man-flu!
I would like some info on the nutrional side too as there must be things we can do to improve our energy levels, etc.
Ok, off to do the ironing now - what an exciting life we all lead - and to the poison chalice tomorrow. Then it is done.
Yipeeeeeeeee!
Hope tomorrow is OK Lily and you get some answers from your onc.
Hugs to all.
Julia

Hi all
Last day on the chemo wards for Lily and Julia tomorrow - hooray! As you say they don’t tend to make a fuss as there are women (not unlike myself!) who are there for other treatments and for the longer run. My last day was so cr@p on the ward I burst into tears when I got to the car with OH as chemo is so horrible. It was an emotional time to be over it so take plenty of tissues!
Julia - I had heard about giving Herceptin as in your case but maybe start a discussion to see who else had it recommended?
Also for nutrition I think Angie’s the girl to ask - she’s been such a star with her advice, well worth it. FYO I’m taking mega Vit C as I’d always done to keep the colds at bay, Vit B to help with the H and not much else. may start glucosamine to help with aches from hormone treatments.
Lily - I know you have Q’s to ask onc tomorrow, especially about hormone stuff. You would have to have Zoladex or ‘ovaries out’ to have A I’s (I seem to remember you’re not post-menopausal yet). It seems that Tamoxifen is still given as the main hormone treatment with A I’s following on after that. I’m not sure if A I’s are prescribed initially but it may be worth asking.
Angie - sorry to hear you’re suffering from the rads. I did have quite red areas after my 30 treatments years ago so know what it can be like but at least it should calm down soon and there’s no more to come.
Bev - hope Tamoxifen is OK for you and you don’t get too many side effects. Also that rads go well for you. How many do you have?
Lisa - good to see you’re well enough for work. No doubt you will catch up with the goss and also update us - hope you are well on the road to recovery. What do you have next? Any hormone treatment?
Lorraine - thinking of you for Weds, hope it’s not too upsetting and you can remember the good times. Take care, you have such a positive outlook and I agree that we have to make the most of every day
Well, I’ll tell you about my ‘date’ today. I met this man, who introduced himself then asked me to get on the bed and pull down my jeans and ‘panties’. Well, I thought that was rather forward of him but it didn’t stop there, oh no. He then proceeded to draw on (in) my pubes with a felt pen, hmmm, is this worse than drawing on your boobs? He then took a picture and gave me a tattoo. I’m not sure if I’m seeing him again, who knows, but we did have a nice time! That’s planning for ovary ablation for you. Nicely covered with crosses here and there which he tried to rub some out so I look all bruised now. At least it was quite straight forward and I did have a large piece of tissue paper covering my embarrassment Can now imagine what it will be like next week. Better make sure I wear my nice panties then as well, or maybe not even bother putting them on? Also I couldn’t believe how big Southampton hospital is, it’s like a mini town with a WH Smith, ‘proper’ coffee shop, clothes shop etc. Didn’t realise how country mouse I was!
Anyway, must dash and feed the family. Take care all
Nicky xx
Hi,
well I am still reeling from Nicky’s date story. That is hysterical the way you told it!! So glad I am not doing that one. Although I had an abscess in the groin several years ago and had to take my pants off for all and sundry (not literally) so never thought at 48 I would now become a page 3 girl and have to get them out for the other half of the medical profession. I sincerely hope I never have to have the only other embarassing part looked up too! LOL LOL. I hope your picture was with your clothes on!! I have lucky pants I wear on chemo days LOL. I really hope that the rads go ok though and that you don’t get the SE you are preparing yourself for. You have to have a break one of these days! How are the palpatations? They have no idea if I am post menopausal but likely now as nothing for a year but no flushes either. Obviously turning into a bloke or something!!LOL. I meant to say I want to be on Arimidex but did the ‘chemo writing something totally different bit’ and not knowing why I did it! If I am post it is more effective than Tamoxifen but probably won’t get a choice.Being on a trial I am the poundshop version of chemo as the pharmaceutical company have paid my bill not the NHS, so he can afford to spend out a bit on me I think!
Julia, I felt a bit anxious about your story as mine are not that strong either. Oh bother. That is such a man thing about the rads. It was probably the shock of having to have his bits feltpenned on by a woman in charge!!! We will be fine because we have been through more already in comparison. I am all over the place happy then side effects of first dose then blood tests and 600 in the queue ahead of me then happy jumping the queue then miserable blood sucker then oh no its tomorrow again. Will be more sane after tomorrow. Biggest hugs ever that yours goes well, the marathon runners appear at last - hoooray. Lisa you hero, back at work already. I am not twinning with you on that. Hope you are feeling better and do you still have ratty? What is the latest on the Dennises?
Angie the itchy skin sounds annoying, have you tried calomine? I am laughing at suggesting remedies for you, our resident expert. You are making me hopeful that I go off food on rads now, that would make the new me arrive so much easier. I don’t feel tired as such but cannot do too much without my heart thumping so obviously not very fit, correction so obviously totally out of condition and needing extreme makeover! What a fab tv programme we could make getting us all back to our finer days with Nicky as the tv celebrity, Angie as the bride to be, Lisa as the workaholic, Lorraine as the travel correspondent, Bevy as the one with ‘the husband who comes along to share’, Julia as the chef, and me as the one that won’t shut up!
Bevy how did the rads go today? Ok I hope, I have never got over those stories about your husband, hysterical!! You tell such a lovely story about the tamoxifen SE.LOL. I was not happy to read that some cause hair thinning as Lorraine mentioned before, I don’t believe it!!! Have you ever asked again about your arm and side maybe to see a physiotherapist as it seems to be lingering a bit? You can take Tamoxifen if you are pre or post menopausal, so probably why they did not bother to check. The others I think you have to be definitely one or the other. Sorry no help on the temps, I am freezing mostly so might welcome a little more warmth as long as not overwhelmed the other way of course! Lorraine thinking of you as your sad day approaches and hope everyone is getting sorted out with their different illnesses. Treat yourself to as many cream cakes as you like to get through this week x.
Well off to soak in the bath as cannot sleep and will not for a few days after this.
Once more into the breach dear friends…
Lily x x
Still need to catch up, but laughed at your date Nicky, mind you I must have got off lighting, no markers on nether regions! have tiny scar in belly button, only one on my left side that’s still bit tender and scabby and one tiny one lower down but unfortunately I can see this one for my lovely now overhanging stomach!!! Much better now just trying to find out if I can drive! Get genetic results tomorrow and worried that they will say have a much higher chance of it spreading or coming back and then the onc (which Ive only seen once) on Monday which I assume is to get my drugs at last - albeit really worried about them as heard so many horror stories and Ive already got the hot sweats (well just a beetroot face at wierd times and keeps me awake), achyign back (what’s new) and aching legs - roll on eh! my notes say I am likely to get arimidex and some bone strengtheners, but am worried as having ovaries out weaknes bones too I think, I havent done much research as I get too much information but then people tell me not to eat much diary, but then surely I need to get some calcium in me - I just wish someone would tell me what to do for best! Ooops think my mood swings are hitting in, went home bouncing yesterday, half hour afterwards I was crying and prodding and poking everywhere in case was any lumps!!
On the old H subject, Angie want to see the locks!! I went out on Saturday and had a lovely drunken giggly night with mates and one was in fancy dress and now emphasises soooo much re the old rat!!! Mine H is covering more now but not enought to go au naturale yet, however, ratty is lying around somewhere as tryuing to get a bit more air at the bonce to encourge growth, someone said, indian head massage good - gonna look into today as was aiming to go without at our Xmas party in 4 weeks - dennis’s will need waxed for the event and boy my eyes seem so much darker now a bit of stubble for lashes are coming through and think I look at bit strange with brows!!!
Anyhow - good luck you two with your last tarrrrraaaa chemo today - I enjoyed mine in a wierd way, i made some little gifts for them all, was a bit teary and then we all had cake!!! FOOOOODDD diet starts today, put over 3 stone on!!!
love to all
xxxxx
good luck!!! lily and julia for the last chemo session thank goodness another part over with!
You racey girl Nicky!! well done for coping so well with such a situation. I think we have all become so use to showing all out bits off I don’t know about the rest of you but I just walk into a doc’s room and start undressing! Infact the poor young man I had for my radiotherapy mapping had to tell me to leave my gown on! ophs. I have become an exhibitionist! I have 15 treatments of rads and so far the tamoxifen is o.k. but it is only the 2nd day and I have already been having the hot flushes anyway which started with the chemo but as i only have 1 ovary and I am 53 I guess the menopause was real close to happening anyway
The radiotherapy was so much easier than the chemo and no pain is felt at all whilst it is being administered. However this morning I have woken up to a blister which I am a bit annoyed about that it has happend so quickly but presumably they will give me advice today on how I deal with that.
Lily I am going to visit the lymp/physio after my radiotherapy is out of the way to work out just what is happening with regard to my arm and hopefully it may then start to settle down. I am now taking ibuprofen in the evening as advised by the hospital which has helped with sleeping better.
Lisa well done for getting back to work but take it easy.
love to all Bev x
OK as people are starting to think about losing what they’ve gained etc here’s what’s working for me… and it really is working as I’ve lost a Kilo in 2 weeks without much effort.
Green Tea is supposed to help you lose weight and there’s some evidence that it may help people fight of cancer so I’m doing 1 cup of that a day. I like the one with orange and lotus flowers by Twinnings… but I decided NOT to drink this until a month after chemo as it’s really good at clearing out toxins and lets face it chemo is a toxin of sorts so thought I’d let that do it’s thing first.
Fruit for breakfast… first thing in your mouth should be some form of fruit, for some reason I was sick of pineapple so I’ve been eating a wide range.
Oats and slow release energy… try and stick a bit of oats in here and there, breads made with oats, porridge occasionally, nuts are good too so if you can get into eating some crunchy granola with loads of dried fruit and nuts and fibre you’ll get a lot of nutrition back into you and drop the fat stores. A lot of it’s water too so I wouldn’t expect to see much change in the first few weeks after chemo. But I’ve found my desire for sweet things and fat has just completely gone, but if I fail to start with fruit then the rest of the day goes bad if you know what I mean
Lily and Joanne… trumpets are awaiting
Lisa… sounds like the same treatment is on the cards for both of us… don’t worry about the genetics results too much, I had the bad news and it’s not as bad as you imagine… in fact it means anything sinister does come back and you can get on the parp trial if you turn out to be BRCA too. I’m sure Pat will explain all (is it Pat you saw?)… If you did turn out to be BRCA then you’d need to consider getting the ovaries removed… oops you’ve already lost them I hear you say… I hope the healing’s going well and it’s not too painful. I fear that a bit I must admit.
I think the side effects of the drugs are pretty much the same as the menopause so you’re already getting most of them I think. And if you do get the bisphosphonates that will help against osteoporosis and help protect against bone mets so there’s more good news hidden in amongst the long slog of daily pills etc.
Anyway let us know what happens.
Lots of love to you all…
Angie
Thanks Angie- I havent looked at the parp things yet wil just wait and see Pat tomorrow, its just starting the whole family thing up and even though not my fault feel a bit guilty! Dyson on Monday too. Have you receovered from RADS, im really achy bit mroe round the arm but especially the legs and back!! In honesty its just the whole masectomy and another op again, I get soooo wound up and jsut want to try and get back to normal - on the plus side the ovaries removal was much less invasive than I thought, recovery a lot better and emotionally havent been too bad yet! Thanks for the info re diet, cant beleive ive gained 3 stone, off to shop tonight for healthy bits!!!

Hi,
just a short post and will get on back later if I don’t fall asleep, on piriton aka 15 vodkas!
I am done hooray hooray hooray, went smoothly and great news from the onc.
Julia i am praying you came up smelling of roses today too x.
I am so very excited and have been phoning everybody to tell them. I can’t believe it 196 days done, tick that off the list.
Woooopeee, chat later need to eat a lot.
Lily x x x
Woohooo Lily. I’m so knackered so just in case I can’t stay awake I’l say it now.
Trumpets -> Ba Bada BaaaaaHHHHH Well done my lady. You have done chemo AND contributed to a trial, and lived through a year of Breast Cancer treatment… sure you’ve got rads to go but that’s just a few week (and a couple more sleeping on the sofa, which you’ll need after all those steroids I expect). So where do you see yourself a year from now (that’s a question I’ll never answer the same at job interviews LOL)
Julia… standing by with the fizz… whens you’re last tablet (You’re on the tablets right)?
Who would have thought back in May how much would happen. I mean even outside of our little gang… the US has their first black president for example… and Tommy has a gallery (apparently it’s all about the Gallery now that I’m *done* so to speak LOL)
xXx
Angie
hi everyone,
hooray for everyone finishing chemo, well done!
.LILY dont know how i got your finishing date wrong, but so glad youve done it!) tommorow is nephews wife funeral, this is the first funeral ive had to go to for a long time, just hope theres no problems with nephews mother in law, because she had fell out with daughter, and is probably feeling pretty bad and may take it out on nephew. but we have a large family so im sure he’ll be ok.
i cant remember who said about the dieting but well done! im finding it really hard to get back on track. it was so easy to enjoy eating what you liked while going through chemo, who would have thought it would have piled so much weight on. i start of well with the porridge, but have gone off brown bread, ive increased my fruit intake, but still cant resist a daily treat of something nice. people keep telling me i shouldnt worry, but i do because it just keeps going up and up, each time i get on the scales. (aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
Nicky 08
what are you like? dropping your knickers for the first man that comes along! and letting him draw on you, (you kinky thing) seriously though i hope everything goes ok. and hope they sort your ticker out soon. x
thanks to everyone for the kind thoughts, you are all really special people, and something positive that as come out of this ordeal, is meeting nice people like yourselves. i wish you all a speedy recovery. take care x
