Hi All,
It’s great to read your posts and see that everyone is recovering and having “Happy” days.
Shonagh - It seemed like ages before I could sleep on my side, which is my natural sleeping position. It feels sooooo good when you can finally do it.
I am really interested in your comments re diet. I find it very confusing trying to find out what the “right and wrongs” are. There seems to be so many
contradictions, particularly around the plant oestrogens, soya,etc. If there was a definitive list it would be so much easier. Maybe we could all ask in our own PCT what their recommendations are and compare notes. That could be very interesting! Personally, I am a proper foody and love everything I shouldn’t!!! I do love fresh fish though and have been eating loads of it - but I like it pan fried (with a pile of home made chips and a couple of thick sliced of fresh, crusty bread with real butter) LOL. Any healthy recipe suggestions for me Shonagh?
By the way, I had my surgery the beginning of November and my lymphnodes are still playing up!!!
Louise - How are you getting on. What a shame you haven’t seen your beautiful Evie Rose. It must be hard for you. It’s great to hear that you are getting out and about. I fear you are fast becoming “a lady who lunches” and why the hell not! Thanks for sharing what you had to eat with me! You know me soooo well. Daytime TV drives me round the twist. I find myself being drawn to travel programmes and think about later in the year when we can go on holiday (yay)! My brother has an apartment just outside of Marbella, with a large roof terrace, so I think we will probably go there after I finish chemo, just give me a sunny day, a lounger, a good book and a cold drink and a selection of Tapas ( yes, there had to be food) and I will be one happy BC Babe!!! Hey that might be a good place to all meet up!!! We will probably venture a bit further once I have finished all of my treatment.
Dilys - Hope you enjoyed your visit my lovely. Did you have a nice lunch with your friend? No sun today, the rain is beating on the windows as we speak.
Lizzie sends you a hug and a kiss. X
Wendy - How are you feeling now my love? I think we both have the worst reaction to the darn chemo. It is so bad that it must be doing a thorough job (Dyzee logic)!!!
It has taken me much longer to get over this last one and I fear you are the same. On the positive side, the next one will be halfway, we will have reached the top of the hill!!! We will hold hands and run down the otherside together.
Julie - How are you sweetheart! Have you managed to start your painiting yet? What have you been up to?
Maddy - Sounds like Benjamin is thriving. Have you managed to get your Her2 status yet?
The bl**dy weather is horrid here, pouring rain and windy. It’s just not wig friendly!!! My parents live on the seafront, nd when that wind blows, I fear my wig will end up in the North Sea one of these days, never to be seen again, if I don’t take all necessay precautions when visiting them!!!
Good luck with your treatment plans - let us know how it goes!
Take care all,
Lots of love and hugs.
Dyzee. XXXXXXXXXXXX
