(((((((((((((((((((((((((((( HUGS DAWN )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Oh sweetheart you are so so brave and positive. You have a wonderful outlook for your future and im sure with this attitude you will make a full and successful recovery from this nasty nasty illness. Would you say that the waiting to hear the news is one of the hardest parts of this journey. Im not sure how i will cope if i dont get the news im so longing to hear. Good lucky for your next lot next week. How are you feeling after your first lot of chemo.
I have been married for 6 years (june) and met my hubby on the internet… just goes to show that you SHOULD stay out of chat rooms lol.
The waiting is the worst part ever. I have never suffered so much in my life, not knowing if had spread, or getting worse or when treatment would start. Then completely shattered when we were told it had spread and think I went onto automatic pilot for a day or so, complete numbness took over. Very emotional time and became a little bit of a hermit for 3 weeks, and didn’t see my friends much as too emotional and teary when I did. But am OK now and got life back on an even keel, and take my little ones out to keep my 3 years old social life going … ah bless her.
Not had any side effects from my first lot of chemo - although bit more tired and my brain has done a complete runner at times. Went for lunch last week forgot my purse - friend had to pay. Get my contact lense case ready every night and 3 or 4 times this month have put the lid on and gone to bed only to wake up in the early hours to find they are still in!! God knows what I will be like after 15 more weeks!!!
Have confession to make too, met my hubby on the net too, but not a chatroom, one of those dating things and then we met up for drinks and that was it. Don’t tell that story often, but hey who cares now!
Very jealous of the fireman story from louby though - should get my house assessed maybe, would make me chuckly and him frown.
You two have made me laugh so much today. THank you for sharing your stories.
It is nice to hear some cheer! And claire what a treat with those firemen you lucky lucky girl!!! and loosing 1/2 pound is blooming good news especially if you had a few naughty bits!!
Claire with regard to tomorrow I so hope that you are strong and cope ok!!! I am at home all day so will keep checking for you and will think of you constantly!! What time you in?
As for questions can only suggest what I would ask but remember to only ask what you want not what I want you to ask as your appointment is for you but will be very glad to hear what they say to you and how you get on…ok things I would ask are…
… what is it you think I have and why do you feel this is neccesary …is it neccesary? is there no mistake??? are you sure??? How are you going to do it again as I’m so thick I don’t remember anything you said (LIE) …what do you expect to find…what will you do if you find that?? what will you do if you can not find any lumps etc?? what will you do if there is loads…will you promise not to take my breasts away at that point as I want the choice…How will you test the samples?.when??.. what damage are you going to do to me?..what will my breasts look like after??..when and how will I recover to normal???..what sensation will I have left??..will my nipples survive???, will I need further surgery…what kind of bra do I need after the op///or clothes ///or nightie…what help will I need …when can I drive …what risks are there??
I could go on all week…they are suggestions…please ask what you feel you need to know and I so hope you will be ok!!
With regard to how we met our hubbys mine was a set up I went to school with his brother who unbeknown to me and my husband Adam had a very big soft spot and still does for me… he and my then best friend who fancied my hubby again wasn’t aware she did …asked he and I to go on a double date but made us believe it was innocent…we got the wrong end of the stick and it was instant from then …she never forgave me and his brother has spent the last 15 yrs saying adam stole my girlfriend! Well how were we supposed to know!!! We didn’t live together for 5 years as I was too young he is 9 yrs older than me and I did my own thing whilst being with him bought my own house etc and we decided to get married when I was 20 but he had a horrific car accident and lost his job and was ill for some time he got a job a year later and he moved into my house I fell pregnant a year later (which considering I was told at 16 I wouldnt because I have really bad polycistic overies and therefore it would be impossible was a mirracle) so when our son was 7 months we got married and within months I was pregnant again which of course was fantastic and stunned my specialist again! and so that us! been married for 7 years now and literally the month before all this started we decided to have another baby so this is a double kick in the pants right now but once I get the all clear We will try!!! Good fun
Claire my love and hugs go out to you again tonight and will be thinking of you xxxxxxxxxxx
Dawn What a blooming bad few months you have had and with a young baby it seems so unfair!! Sending you big hugs too!!! Are they happy they will clear your liver? I hope so what a pain!! Keep us posted how your getting on wont you and I’m not surprised you have low days what a lot you have to put up with! If I can be of any small emotional help please ask rant or whatever it really helps me xxxxxxxxxxx
OMG LJ i have really bad polycistic overies too…oh how weird we both have it… Thomas and ben both born with Clomid and adam is my mirracle that they said would never never happen. Im in shock… we were ment to meet lol
Iv not got excess hair (doc said im really lucky), i do struggle with my weight, when they play up im on the floor in pain and it travels right down my legs. I used to have hardly any periods until i had the 3rd baby, now they are about every 6 weeks and really heavy. Did you tell them about your PCOS cos i didnt think to at the time but will do tomorrow now you have said. What about you, how are your symtoms??
LOLOLOL… How spooky eh !! God i cant believe this. Not had anything like this since meeting colin and family had same names and birthdays were nearly the same lol
Well no I don’t think I did say and will try to when I get chance!
I have terrible weight troubles but been made much by the depo jab which my gp said has that affect on normal women!! so now I’m not normal YIPEE I have been in hosp due to them popping from time to time as they make me quite ill and usually end up with a bad infection as a result when I was on the depo symptoms dissapeared but I grew too big and have come off it and did manage to loose 2 stone about 3-4 more needed to be super slim again but hey ho …I have been off the jab since december last year and now my PCOS is back in full swing periods from hell when it suits and then not for ages …yes I agree pains down legs!! I am gettiing hairy again toes like a hobbit!!! spotty like a teen ager but luckily not my face but on arms and back… mood swings but present situation hardly helps …feeling of utter depression for days then back to normal but again not sure all this is helping that! extreme tiredness and aches and pains in joints and also suffer from low bone density too have regular bone scans and have to eat far more calcium than any one normal …but as it has been so long was on the depo for 5 years I am not sure how long it will be before more symptoms might appear but hopefully not!!!
Just another though I wonder if they should run any hormone tests on us incase this is like a trick result our body has produced and not infact what they tink…grasping at straws but hey I wonder
Oh now you have said i do have hairy big toes but thought everyone had then and just shave them, you would think i would know better really with working in the job i do lol. I did have the Depo jab too but came off it when i met colin. They did tell me that when i was finished having my kids i would need a Hysterectomy but not went back to ask about it as having 2 CS with the last 2 kids i think id been through enough in that dept.
Iv got 3-4 stone to loose as well and it upsets me as i was really slim when i met colin as i had lost alot of weigh after thomass dad and really did do my best to keep it off… but you know what its like when your man loves food just as much as you do!!!
Thanks for the ideas about the questions and i think i will ask most of them tomorrow
That is the first thing im going to ask tomorrow now
My best friend all through school up until i moved to manchester (from scotland) was Nicola
MILs dog was called Ben too lol
birthdays… april-me, july- thomas & colin, married in June, Kids oct
Thank you cee, That would be my luck to have the wrong boob done lol…or maybe the wrong end of the body (could end up in the OAP ward) lol.
One positive thing is that i have plenty for them to have a good look at as long as they are prepared to fetch them out from under my arm pits lol.
eldest born oct (2nd one was early but was due last week sept but came 29th aug) brother bday april me jan married august …wed aniversary is this coming sunday hubby bday end june …haha what a weird world!! I have dark brown hair but is well highlighted hubby is ginger kids are just muddy blonde and after that bar of choccy I just ate I fancy a ciggie now…not bad only had 2 today!! I get irritable bowel too dr thinks it’s the PCOS it isnt too bad except when stressed it flares up again was much worse when I was younger
Hey claire I have big ones too …36hh and still can’t remember is it both your having done like me or just one and did if it is one did they check fluid on other as they did after on mine was discovered on left and it was in both?
I have dark brown hair and so has colin, thomas and ben is just brown, Adam is as white as snow (no not had a prev visit from the fireman lol).
You have been a good girl and so have i as only had 2 as well but iv only had mine since tonight. Oh my friends b/f has that and never off the loo. If its really bad he runs into my house rather than fiddle with his door keys… problem is he only lives straight across the road so would be quicker to use his own loo (always someone in mine).
