Hi all
Not had much time to catch up on here since Saturday. We had a very late night after the 18th we went to, so a quiet recovery on Sunday plus a Tesco āshopā so I didnāt have to do it yesterday - how glam can you get? Yesterday was treatment day and I can tell you I still hate āhunt a veinā each month. I had to wait for over an hour to get my treatment so was not too happy - I really do just want to get it over and done with and out asap. I always feel tired after as well so a bit sleepy yesterday afternoon. Iāve now decided I will try having it in the afternoons so it doesnāt affect my day too much, or switch to tablets if onc thinks itās a good idea, will need to discuss when I next see her.
As you can see, no photo, just donāt seem to have the time to track down a dress or download a photo Iāve already got on here but will attempt it soon, promise.
Good Luck for tomorrow Lorraine - fingers crossed and hope you have a couple of hospital free days at the end of the week.
Lisa - do watch the BP, mine went up loads when I 1st had BC and the follow on treatments, worth keeping a close eye on. Mine is creeping up now as is my cholesterol (a SE to Arimidex) and have a GP appt next Mon to see what we do - yay - another medical visit!
Work is busy and been there today, hence quick catch up now.
Hope you are enjoying half term Lily and keep your nerves about you when your son is out driving - are you taking him out as well as the instructor? How I reccall that last year when I had to go out with YD - arghhhhh!
Sorry I have to dash now - OH needs some grub. Hope you are all doing OK and keeping busy, hugs to Angie - hope you are quiet only because you have better things to do than sit by a PC.
Take care all
Nicky xx
Hi,
I will second that, Angie hope you are out doing things on your list, we canāt help but worry about you after all this time of writing to each other.
Lisa sorry to hear you have bp trouble. You may be pleased to know that my friend loved her bp going up because the tablets made her lose weight without any effort. Might be an unexpected bonus if it works. You need to try to reduce your salt intake as much as possible.Glad you can hear again, I think I have sinusitis as round cheek and eye feels puffy and like it is bruised. Never had it before so just guessing. Lorraine we all have fingers crossed and all our very very best wishes and hopes go with you for the results tomorrow. Also hope your sister is holding her own through her illness too. We saw the wedding dress while out shopping but had looked online too. I still canāt get my pic to appear, so will get someone to put the dog on instead!Yep I feel like zapping the house into order too but might go shopping instead oh and lunch out! We went out to dinner with neighbours tonight and I had the yummiest pate. One of my favourites but did not chance it while on chemo. Then lemon and pepper breaded pork escallops. Did not have a dessert as felt too guilty when no-one else wanted one. BUT it would have been the pavlova - meringues are making a come back! Nicky yes I think teaching your own children to drive should be banned as far too stressful. Fortunately my husbandās car is an automatic and he (son) couldnāt get insurance on my TT so I am saved!It does mean having to help him to buy an old banger though and we will pay the insurance. I made a deal that I would if he did not have a moped or motorbike, when he was 16. After breaking so many bones on one, when he was 14 I vowed to keep him off 2 wheels. Sorry you still have rotten vein trouble going on. Is there a tablet alternative then?Cā¦p having to waste time in the hospital too, must keep bringing it all back to you.
I took my middle daughter and tiny terror to the cinema today to watch Bolt the Disney film. It was his first visit and we had tried to warn him about being quiet.LOL. I know how excited he gets watching films so booked us seats right over one side and luckily everyone else was in the centre section. He said āthatās a really really big television.ā It was nice as they also showed a short Lightning Mcqueen cartoon - from the film cars.He loved the film but spent a lot of it sitting on my lap so had dead legs. Not that I cared, loved every minute. We then had to come home and walk my dog, who tiny says is his brother! So we put 2 leads on him and held one each and both got dragged round the block by the maniac dog. Hubby got the day off tomorrow so that will be another lunch out, here we go again. Hoping to drag him to the shops to buy me some new work clothes. It feels really odd going back after a year in the same clothes, as been in jeans while home. I have the urge to renew everything so likely to overspend terribly. Have any of you got the forms to fill in for free prescriptions? My surgery still hasnāt got any in.
Speak soon
Lily x x
hiya all , just a quick pop in as head battered today from recon talk and what I can and cant do etc. timescales so off for a nice cuppa tea to chill befor arm squeezing for b.pressure tomorrow at 8.30am (p.s. bound to be stressedm, getting but owta bed that early).
Just wanted to say hope everyone okay and will catch up on posts tomorrow.
Angie, if you are reading it hope you are bearing up and just doing nice things and your broadband aint up so you cant log on, you havent been on f book either. Hope you are just having fun. Thinking of you xxx
hi everyone
im so happpppppyyyyyyyy! scan results were positive,(so relieved). no more spread and none in any more bones, something showing on right knee but he didnt seem bothered, he said treatment seems to be working, i was jumping up and down, and still am.
thanks for all your well wishes, and my friends had been praying, so im very thankful.
lily
how could you resist the puddings,are you turning over a new leaf?
i have grandaughter for lunch tommorow, with 2 others, all girls, were having a girly lunch, she will be 4. i think we will do hair,and nails etc. her mum is doing her party at night so dont want to spoil that, but i will do the room up all pinky, never having girls myself, not going to miss an opportunity.
ive been and got my wallpaper for hall, i got it from next its lovely, cant wait to get it done,(someone else to do it though)
sounds like you enjoy time with your grandson as well, memories are so special.
lisaf

hope you get sorted.
angie. thinking of you, god bless.x
love and best wishes to everyone.
All I can say is yiiiippppeeeee, jumping up and down for you, so glad things working, must be a huge relief - go and get some shoes to go with your dress
xxxxx
Hi,
Lorraine that is wonderful news. I am soo very happy for you as you have been bravely battling on believing and it canāt have been easy not to panic sometimes. The family must be relieved too. I hope your sister gets good news too from her scan. You know what this means??? No excuse not to lose weight and to find a nice job then!!! LOL.
Are you just on tablets now or do you have to have any other appointments?It must be very exciting to have girls after a house full of boys. Have a lovely day.When my little chap runs up the path it just makes my day. Lisa have you any thoughts on what type of recon to go for? I know there are a lot of factors to think about. When do they think you would have it? To get bp lower, always arrive early for the appointment so it slows down while you are bored waiting. Good luck.
I have been struggling a bit today so went to doc and he says it is sinusitis. I have not had it before and hope I donāt get it again, horrible. I woke up with terrible pressure around my nose and eye so got up to have a hot drink. Had a coughing fit and was sick, yuk!Anyway soem antibiotics should sort it out. Hubby had taken the day off to take me shopping so foolishly thought I will still go. Did not feel too good and had to come back early to sleep on the sofa and had horrible pains in my joints. Lemsip has seen that off so on the mend I hope. I did manage to get a new suit, 2 pairs of trousers and a really cute lemon cardy with frilly bits round the neckline. So you can see I wasnāt that bad! For anyone interested M & S are selling stretch jeans in blue or black for Ā£12 and best of all in 3 different lengths. Two of my girls came in for tea and had pasta bolognaise which made me feel better too. Going to have a very quiet day tomorrow to make sure I am well for Friday. Eldest daughter has taken the day off from her magazine and we are going wedding dress shopping again as we can meet the designer and see a much bigger range than normal. I am sure it will include another lunch out too!! Youngest daughter has had an offer on a house accepted so that is going through quite quickly. I might be wedding dress shopping for years!! I saw 2 outfits I liked for me too today but plan to be a much smaller size than the rather daunting size trousers I needed this afternoon!
Hopw you are all poodling along
Lily x x
Hi everyone
Lorraine - how fab - I hope you danced around the room and snogged the onc I bet thatās such a relief and I know how worried any ache or pain makes you (us/me) feel! Good to know after all that chemo (yuk) that the easier regime of tablets is doing you good - big big hug. Onwards with your life then? As Lily says, no excuses now! Have a lovely day today with your grandaughter and friends - theyāll be treated Iām sure by you.
Lisa - must be very difficult to decide what/when to do. Itās almost more difficult if you are given options isnāt it. The main thing is to do it when you are fit, healthy and comfortable with whatās going on. The recon will be a major procedure so you have to be happy with everything before you decide to go ahead. Let us know what you decide and weāll be here to support you. Keep an eye on the BP and hope itās not too high today. Donāt be too upset if youāre on tablets, I had to 1st time around and think Iām heading that way this time as well. Itās just another tablet to have with my others in the morning - Iām sure I rattle!
Lily - glad youāre having some time out but sorry that the sinuses are playing up. Iāve never had it either so I expect it was a bit of a shock and typical that it happens when youāve got plans. Glad the shopping went ahead though, itās nice to get some new things that make you feel good, even if theyāre the āwrongā size! Very exciting all this wedding dress shopping, I hope one can be found that fits both the budget and the look - Iām sure it will. Then onto you! Are you going all frilly and āmother of the brideā? At least there should be some nice dresses etc in the shops now that the eternal sales are over. It sounds like youāre having a good half term break and I bet itās lovely to see the little man again as I donāt suppose heās been around as much since you went back to work? I hope he enjoyed the film. I think the 1st film we took my ED to was Beauty and The Beast for her 5th birthday. She was so scared she spent most of the time in the foyer with OH whilst her younger sister sat there and loved it - typical!
Iām off today for my next āhaircutā - way to go! A quick trim and dare I say it a thinning out - now who would have thought Iād want that? Itās all quite thick at the moment and needs a bit more style cut into it. Everyone still likes it but I want it to be a bit longer than it is to be happier. My aim last year when starting chemo was to look OK so I donāt embarrass my YD on her 18th so I guess Iāve achieved that! Also a bit of retail therapy for me afterwards I hope. However whenever I think Iāll go shopping for me I never get anything! I need to buy some balloons etc for 18th bāday and my parents 50th anniversary so I wonāt come back empty handed!
Angie, Bev, Julia and everyone else, hope you are all OK
Take care on this wet and gloomy morning, thatās the walk out of the window then!

Hi all: am trying to have mega catch up but there is sooooo much to read.
Lily: I have started the Arimidex and am on week four ā week four of 260 weeks so I havenāt put up the tick chart yet. Once again, it is so far so good. Am having a few hot moments ā made worse by red wine I have discovered - but not too much trouble during the night.
Liked your retail therapy bit ā I went out at lunchtime with the credit card jumping in my bag to see what Jaeger had that I could not resist but they were closed for stock taking! Did well two weeks ago with beautiful leopard print silk blouse down from Ā£200 to Ā£39! Need some black trousers ā like I only have about 8 pairs but they are either heavyweight cashmere or very light and I need something in between. Will check out Jaeger again.
Having had four weeks away from the bloody hospital it is marvellous. But got back from shopping yesterday to find message on phone from BCN asking how I was, etc. and āUnderstand you have seen Mr Been and everything is pretty much OKā āWho is Mr Been and when was I supposed to have seen him?ā I donāt know who he did the ECG on but it certainly wasnāt me! Then I went to GP to get prescription for Arimidex to be told they had been trying to phone me to say they had not had instructions from the Prof to prescribe this. Then they discovered that they didnāt have my phone number on their system ā how could you have phoned me then? And if you didnāt have number couldnāt you have used the telephone directory??? (I only live about three miles from surgery). Where do they get these people ā Argos rejects? So have had interesting conversations with BCN and Profās secy and they will fax letter to GP this afternoon ā but I am not holding my breath ā will call in on way home.
Still havenāt made decision about herceptin but am still on the doubtful side ā subject to the ECG ā either mine or whoever elseās is in my file!
Now what have you all been up to:
Lorraine ā what fantastic news, you must have been delirious with joy. You mention being in the Midlands ā where are you? I go to Coventry, are you there too?
Had my blood pressure done on Monday and it was fine. I have been on Lisinopril for about 30 years for high BP and, no, it doesnāt make me lose any weight. But am hoping that the SE of Arimidex of Anorexia will come along shortly!
Bevy: Lurve the sexy dress. Canāt work out how to do that yet, but will check the instructions on here and try again. Glad you are back to the swimming ā wished I liked it but you get wet and I hate that. Did go to the gym on Monday and ended up with aching knees ā left over from the aerobic days - so am waiting for them to get better before I go back next week.
Angie: Hope you are holding up OK and finding lots of lovely things to do. I looked at the Gormless thread and laughed my head off until I got to the comments from BCC ā oops!
Kirsty: why do we have to put up with these idiots making our lives more difficult. The culture of the Argos reject must be spreading.
Nicky: Show off with the haircut! Mine is OK my hairdresser has trimmed it a couple of times to encourage it to grow but it is still thin on the top. Went to my new favourite store, Neals Yard, yesterday and they do some lovely gunk containing rosemary which stimulates the scalp and should make it grow. Am sick to death of the wig which I still need when out and about.
Glad to see the day has cheered up ā nice and sunny here now.
Back to work, better keep earning my crust.
Love to all and special hugs to Angie.

Hi Ladies
Sorry to be away for so long. It feels even longer to me I think. Tommy and I seem to having a week in each day right now not least because as web people we only got our broadband yesterday (feels like last week already) so have had a lot of catching up to do after the house move.
Iāve got sooooo much news for you that Iāll have to do it in 5 posts or something but big news no 1.
NEW CARā¦
My Mumās partner used to be a mechanic and our old volvo is on itās last legs and the realised that in order to get out and enjoy time and do things like go to the Glasgow Homeopathic hospital we need reliable wheels. We live really quite rurally too and like to go climbing so have always facied a old land rover or something. But even better thereās a volvo thatās a normal car with good fuel efficiency (OMG do I mean good we averaged 45 MPG today!) but when the wheels slip it goes All wheel drive where each wheel acts independently and it just pulls itself out. WOW. itās called the V70 XC
So my Mum and her OH found one, fixed her up, taxed her for a year and drove her up yesterday. Tommy knew we had to be back and knew they were looking for one but just being given the keys to one as an early wedding pressie cause we need it now not later was WOW. Sniff.
Itās even got a great great stereo and came pre loaded with Eurythmics
So thatās piece of news 1 and itās good. Actually itās all good. Iām getting over the idea that Iāve only got a year because thatās the end thatās worse really and I actually donāt accept it to be honest as itās those simplistic stats again and my precocious mind has been working away on things and people and thereās a *lot* more than my oncologist knows out there and thatās fine. I wouldnāt expect a plumber to build a house anymore than Iād expect an onc to be a nutritionalist. Specialism is good but you do still need to respect other specialisms and in all honest Iām not sure my earlier experiences during last year totally respected this. They are now though but that as I say is another lpad of posts and Iām knackered (the radio has zonked me again but Iām starting to pick up now).
Right gotta phone friends about a new volvo.
If anyone wants the link to Tommyās FlickR stream so you ca follow pics of our escapades (and there will be a LOT) tell me and Iāll message you with it.
Oh yea you might want to check in tomorrow as I may be leaving a message about thie Times on Saturdayā¦ maybe, wonāt know until tomorrow but itās likely. Wonāt say until then as that would spoil the funā¦
Lots of love Ladies and thanks so much for your support. I was reading but couldnāt type and not having broadband didnāt help.
To quote a rather fine song.
āIts a new dawn, its a new day, its a new life for meā
āAnd Iām feeling Good.ā
Angie
Hiya,
Angie you are fair stomping along now in those red boots!!Good for you and as I said before stats are historic averages and you are certainly not an average person or old. I have been reading recently about trials they have done on non-medical treatments. One was on prayer and although a small trial found that people fared better if prayed for, whether they believed themself or not. The most startling one was on children who did not know they were being prayed for and that group still did better than those not included in prayers. Cause for thought. The other one looked at the improved effect of being an optimistic person, which many think is a factor to help your immune system get fighting the C itself. She included the website for all the US trial treatments, which is cancer.gov A local lady has been taken on a US trial for a drug she could not get here, so that might be worth looking into. Will keep you posted if I get to any more. THE CAR!! What a wonderful pressie to give and that part early wedding present did not escape me - tell all!!!When?Would love to follow your trips so please send me the whatever I need for whatever a FlickR steam is?? Ladies in support groups also were found to double their survival time so we will all be there doing our bit with you I am sure.Oooh about the Times, is it anarchy or personal or both, intriguing. You keep singing that song sweetie x x
Julia I canāt believe I read your timeline for tablets, my word thats a lot of tablets!By the way no-one can have enough black trousers, there is always another pair that would be perfect!LOL. Working in a school I begrudge expensive ones as you invariably snag them on a desk or lean on tippex or chewing gum! Hazard of the job to have white spots on your backside!Are you sure it wasnāt Mr Bean as in Rowan Atkinson, how funny!My Mum considers Argos a swear word after they delivered half of a bed and then took 6 months of threats to credit her money back. Herceptin is an amazing drug, it might be worth asking if it would be beneficial to have a few treatments even if you didnāt manage all of them. Also whether the effects would be reversible if you started it and found it exacerbated your heart problems.MY BC research nurse glows when she just talks about how good it is.Sorry to hear the hair is not back fully but we were late finishers and remember I had the cold cap so started way ahead on the hairfront, just a bit more time for you I am sure. Nicky yes the dress size is a thorn in my side at the moment, no more a dagger size. I looked at a few mother of the bride outfits, just in passing and know it will probably be one with a lot of detail, not necessarily frilly but feminine. Maybe a dress and jacket oooh and a big hat to cover my short hair and make me look taller.When you look back you can see how your children showed their true colours from an early age, I think it is built in. Little chap is a bit OCD and will not accept anything except a black or white answer so even if you donāt know he just keeps going until you say yes or no to him. I tried it back on him and he would not give in, just kept saying I donāt know louder and louder. So got the better of us lot already it seems! I can tell he is going to be a real brain box. He told me the other day that our dogās fur was to protect him! Hope you are pleased with your new haircut, is it thinned out, spikey, edgy? I fancy mine sticking up a little with some other colors added but not sure if I should use ordinary dyes yet. Toni and Guy have a really cheap offer at the mo and tempted to walk in and say style me!
Hi to everyone else and Lisa how was your bp? Perhaps I ought to get mine checked.Meeting a well known wedding dress designer tomorrow and more dresses, fab. Have a great day all.
Love
Lily x
will catch up on all gossip and crack at weekend, just logged on quickly as tired out and need some sleep before docs in morning for BP again.
Angie - lovely to hear from you and how positive you are and what you say is totally right - go girl! Spesh in that Volvo xxx
Cant stop just got into work, just to say blood pressure was through roof as my panic of spread come blurting out, lets just say it was near the 200 mark!! However week to de-stress - good news is she said oh well you should be stressed youve had your mamo results (nope I hadnt) but it was no sign of abnormality!!! yippeee, few drinks tonight sod the b pressure!!! Take care
Hi all
Quick post
Wow Angie Iām soooo pleased to hear about you and your new adventures in the Volvo. Please send me the do dah thingy and Iāll keep track of your travels. You have the right attitude, Iām sure it will help you in a really positive way. Seek and you shall find! Keep us up to date wonāt you? And, like Lily, did I hear the āWā word? Hope so. Maybe it will get me sorted on a piccy on here at long last - 1st my henās night outfit - could have some fun there! And then the wedding outfit! Have a great weekend and put some miles on the car - sod the eco bit for now:-)
Lisa - sounds like I was a few years ago with BP - mine was also in the 200 mark. Scary but controllable. I was on a couple of tablets and didnāt notice any SEās with them so if you have to have them I hope youāll be the same. Great news re mammo as well - go celebrate and have a couple from me. In fact Iāll have a couple for you as well!
Lily - have a great time looking at dresses. I hope the right one is found soon and in budget! Hair is still cropped and same colour as when we met - that seems an age ago doesnāt it? I donāt like it spiky but it could be done like that with very little effort ie I just need to get up in the morning and do nothing with it.
Iāve had a busy week at work, but another one having a good laugh as well. Iām so glad I work with the lot I do work with. 5 of us have bought Euromillions tickets for tonightās draw so if Iām not on here for a while you know why! OH and I up to the big smoke tomorrow to get a couple of things for YDās 18th and hopefully for me as Iām trying to get my work and social clothes sorted but not having much luck. Way too fussy thatās my problem - as if youād never guessed!
Have a good weekend everyone on our little (!) thread.
Nicky xx
hi everyone
been shopping again, do you like my jimmy choo shoes, only 416 pound,(my pound sign wont work on computer). i think they match well with my dress. ive only spent a few thousand so far, bargain! next onto the handbags. hope your all planning a fun weekend. take carex
Sorry for absence again. bl**dy power adapter for my mac fried so T and I have been swapping. Still got a new one and an 02 mobile from PC world earlier, caāt believe how much better mobiles have got. Needed an MP3 player so we can listen to our music in the car, tapes are no good but you can get tape adaptors that then plug into a jack which is perfect.
So the big news then.
Tommyās Ullswater picture is the center spread in todays Times on Saturday weekend supplement. No credit because theyāre paying instead so he is now on the Timesās contributors list.
Yes you did all see the W word. Weāre off to the reg office on Monday to register for the Marriage licence and pick a nice soon date we hope. The Lakes is the no 1 spot for weddings and springs coming so we thought weād best get a move on. Will let you know the date on Mon.
Have now got our broadband back so Iām a lot happier. Iāve also seen so many docs in the last fortnight. Touchy feely checkup was on Friday, No un wanted lumps and bumps so maybe the chemo got rid of everything outside of the brain and we know it couldnāt cross the blood brain barrier before (after brain rads things change) but Iām going to have a bone scan as I have some back pain, we donāt think itās the cancer but as the doc said fractured spines arenāt funny and for the sake of a scan why not. This is the touchy feely doc who I really like, heās livid with my onc as he hadnāt been copied in about my brain mets.
Also saw the genetecist about getting on the PARP trial in Newcastle. Itās no go because they donāt want people with brain mets but theyāre asking about maybe getting it on compasionate grounds for me as it is being very effective and has more effect in the brain than they originally thought.
The GP who originally referred me bac in Jan last year popped around to see me too. She went travelling to look at alternatives and widen her understanding not long after that and has many other points of view, she said sheās actually finding it hard just prescribing people drugs that donāt seem to actually make people better. I like her.
A few people are a bit angry about this āyou may only have a yearā kind of statement and now that Iām digesting it so am I. itās rather a lot like the āThereās nothing you can do to help your immune systemā and āBeware of Vitamins and herbsā The next doctor that confusses herbs and homeopathy may just be staying late while I educate them. I will not be accepting anymore āadviceā from people not qualified to give it.
In fact we have a spanky new car and Tommy said if I want treatment at Christies in the future he will hapily drive me. Itās just over 2 hours to there but Carlisles not exactly on the doorstep, it takes 40 mins too.
Ahh the wedding dress which Iāll be selling soon. Not used and it was Ā£400 20 years ago. We found it in the move and itās not to my taste anymore (itās the classic ivory with a small train, heart neck line, the classic perfect ivory wedding dress really to most people, just not me. Iām goth remember
If you want to see pics tell me and Iāll let you know when theyāre up, I havenāt got it out of itās wedding bag yet so I hope itās OK.
And I thank you all so much for your love and support itās really helped while I pull myself back together and get over moving etc.
Oh and over half our prblems during chemo was the damn Dex as Iāve got them again from having been on such a huge dose to control the sweilling in my brain. I think it was 6mg daily for 3 days during chemo. Well a week ago I was on 16mg a day for a week and then down by 2mg each day so my body didnāt crash terriblyā¦ thrush, swollen face, ulcersā¦ BLURGH.
Itās better than fits though
Right Iāve leave it there for the night. I think thatās *most* of it.
Lots of love.
Tommy will be putting a pic of the times page up on his website soon Iām sure.
I shall catch up on reading over the next few days. Iām not commenting because I havenāt read it all yet (and I have a goldfish memory).
Just call me Doreen (Finding Nemoā¦ just keep swimming
angie
so pleased to see your posting, keep up the positive thinking, if you can, if you cant were here for you.
god bless take carex
hiya all. hope having a nice weekend!
L - love the shoes might start onine shopping myself!!!
Angie emailed you re the fab photos and wow to get into the nationals you must be really proud.
Hope the side effects of the steroids leave you soon. ope the bone scan comes through okay, maybe its just stress and old age!!!
I think you have a good attitude re the oncās stats, hes obviously good at his job but the stats bit is what his spreadhseet rolls out nothing else - really hope you can get on the parp trial it sounds positive. Hope you aent having to many side effects.
I still feel a virtual hen night coming on - oh where you going to have your reception - its exciting and something to focus on and you can go shopping for new dress!!!
Love to all xxx
p.s. new photo is of me and my hubby on our first holiday together - happy days!!! x
lovely to see your post Angie and I hope the side effects are leaving you now. How exciting about the wedding keep us informed. Glad to hear you have some people around you (in the medical world) that you have trust in and like. Good luck with getting on the parp trials and well done to Tommy for his success! thinking of you both and sending all the positive vibes posssible.
Lisa smashing happy photo
I had to go back to see the surgeon last week but have been reassured the weird nipple thing is due to the radiotherpay but I had an ultrasound scan done due to having a hard lump remaining. Thankfully it is scar tissuing and fluid. The Surgeon and the radiotherpist were excited to see me (glad someone is) to let me know the trials I took part look as if they will make further funding and once they know for sure in May the news about the trials will go national and I have been told it will make headline news. How about that my 15 mins of fame (and pain) albeit without anyone knowing who I am. I will keep you posted. I told my husband I was special but he answered that he had known that for years (I donāt think he meant special with the same meaning as me though)
Anyway girlies hope you are all doing o.k. and love to all especially our lovely Angie.
Bev x
