Hi Lily, thanks for your kind words as always, at the moment I am assuming it is Herceptin as the side effects can be : coughing, breathlessness, diarreah and fatigue â all of which I have from time to time so I think you are right. Anyway only 2 more to go and then finished, hooray â I hope the portacath can come out too asap. So far I have had blood tests for infection, a heart ultrasound, and a chest x-ray. I donât really know what more they can test, but I will be having a âheart stress testâ next month, which will certainly get me panting for breath on the bicycle â shame my dr doesnât look like Doug Ross!! Iâve never had asthma before, but who knows what the poisons do to our body? Anyway, as for Turkey, well make sure you wear something over your shoulders when you go out of the complex, they do like to ogle western women a bit so I am told. Good luck to your son when he runs the 10 k race, when will that be? How did your appt with the Onc go? And donât worry about the seat on the plane, they have extra seat belts on the wings for ladies of a larger size LOL.
Nicky a raised bed is a brilliant idea, saves a bit of backache and seems to keep the weeds at bay better. Glad you had a great time in Pembrokeshire and its always a joy to have time away from the kids, however lovely they are we need some space â anyone want to hire a 14 year old from me for a few days?? Enjoy the MotoGP. I agree totally, last summer was a complete wipe out so we must all rejoice that we can enjoy this year.
Lorraine (everyday matters?) a shed in the garden, your own space, how delightful. I have a plastic greenhouse, made by my OH with his own fair hands from all the packaging around our bricks and building deliveries, but it works a treat and feels like a little space that I have of my own. I just need a radio in there, and maybe a deckchair or the like to chill when I feel a bit stressed and of course a couple of G & Tâs. Herbs are wonderful to grow arenât they, I have a variety growing in separate pots, but I would love a separate herb garden. Victor and his camera??? I need to read back and see whatâs been going on. Hope your mammo results are good but sorry about the wait for you. The swimming idea at the hospice sounds good news, hope it comes to something. I do find swimming therapeutic, and I realise how lucky we are to have a blow up pool, just big enough to swim about 5 strokes. Itâs only 4 feet deep x 24 in length, but is great for a cool off with these high temperatures weâve been having (42 deg some days).
Iâm pleased to say that I am now sleeping in our brand new bedroom, inside our new house â Mr P only spent 1 night in here before he had to go back to work so Iâve been revelling in all this space. Bit different to a mobile home thatâs for sure. We still donât have a toilet connected up, so having to use a pee bucket when necessary, but who cares. I canât believe how wonderful it all is, last year all that building when I was feeling so bad with treatment it felt like I wasnât going to be around to see our new house, and thankfully here I am.
Anyway, this has taken me ages to type thanks to my hand being a bit on the slow side at the moment, so enjoy your weekend ladies, and everyone I havenât mentioned have a good one too.

So you are officially in the lead on diets now. I think you should ask for that shed for Christmas to have next summer to enjoy, if not possible this year. Good luck with the mammo ooh I hate the big squeeze, yowee. I have 3 friends planning recons.I think it is a harder decision if you have it later as you know how long it took to get to where you are now. Not sure what I would do but would be tempted if they promised a smaller tummy I am sure.You ok Lisa?
All that stuff can go to a girls head you know.
