Hi Debs - dont know how you keep the humour up - but i am full of admiration ! thinking of you - keep going gal! much love jayne x
Debs - you just know how to have a good time, eh? Not just one - but two enemas… just hope you feel more comfortable - you deserve it.
Great to see you posting - there’s loads of us here thinking about you and your family - if there was ANYTHING any of us could do for you - we so would. Fish and chips, fresh sheets, new shoes - just name it, honey - we’d be there!
Love

Soz Debs - I havn’t been on too much recently - family stuff. This sounds awful, but at least it does sound like some recovery. I do hope that the next one works - cos that will only help you feel much better.
I think you guys are wonderful - I’m not entirely sure that my husband would want to be involved to that kind of detail - but maybe i underestimate him. You are both a testament to us all, of how supportive a couple should be, - going through this together, when so often we read on here of how it blows couples apart.
We shall see you soon.
much love
Hi all,
I’ve just joined the post and haven’t actually read all 55 pages but the ones I have are reassuring. Debs, I don’t know you but it sounds like you’re going thru’ it all. I was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in September this year - have only done 9 weeks on taxol and my second CT scan found it held most but not all the disease at bay but it is spreading again so they’ve changed me to xeloda. Spent the last three days feeling really sick and hoping it will all settle down so I can stay on this drug for a little while longer if it works. I get the feeling I am not long for this world even tho’ I am trying to be positive and hoping this works. I am only 39 years old and have two kids to look after and am finding I can do less and less for them then feel like a wimp for not just getting on with it.
Take care all,
K
Thinking of you…and Ian…Debs. Hope tomorrow is a better day…x
And Hi Kirsty, Good Luck with Xeloda, I’ve been on this chemo since Spring 2008, I have bone mets, it’s worked really well. I know others with other types of secondaries who have had really good results with Xeloda…for many years in some instances.
Love Belinda…x
Hi Kirsty, I too have secondaries and like Belinda I have been on Xeloda for bone mets. I have just finished an 8 month course. (This is the second time I have been on Xeloda and then I had a break from it for 2 years). If you have any questions about the treatment as you go along please ask us “old timers”. I was 39 with 2 children when I was first diagnosed with BC and that was 20 years ago. I have been having treatment for bone mets for the past 10 years. If I can be of any help please ask. This site is fairly new to me too and I have found the support very helpful. I am pleased to say that I am feeling really well again. I hope it works as well for you as it has done for Belinda and me. Love Val
Hi Debs,

Hi Debs
Am really hoping that you don’t have to have a 3rd enema today and that the Movicol has worked properly. Most of all though I am hoping that you get a “result” and feel much more comfortable very soon.
Sending you lots of love

Hi Chebsy Nice to see you back online.
Just to let everyone know the enemas seem to be working but I am knackered; my tummy sounds like a broken waste disposal unit and I have been sick a few times today and I hate being sick.
Feeling less bunged-up tonight so hopefully will sleep better.
My GP has arranged for an MRI scan on Tuesday, she is worried there might be a tumour pushing against my spine. We will know on Tuesday, I am seeing my onc as well.
Love Debsxxx
May God bless you with a good result of MRI.
Prayers with you.
