Denise…can’t believe you managed to pull your line out…you are as bad as heather…lol

Sandra…am so sorry you feel so bad on Tax…that stuff sounds awful.

K…so sorry about your heart with all the other stuff going on.Hope they can do something to make you feel loads better.Good to hear that your brain scans were ok though.

Isabelle…so glad you have now finished your treatment(except tablet) you’ll at least be able to enjoy your holiday.

I know I’ve missed many more but don’t mean to but can’t remember all the stuff I’ve read…so hope everyone is getting through this xxx

Have shaved my head today…a no2…as my hair was falling out everywhere.
Have my bloods on tues and 2nd PM on weds all being well.
Hope you all have a good evening and good luck to anyone having treatment this week

Just a quick one .
Big hugs to all you girls that are feeling "under the duvet ".
Heather , Gill , Anne , Carol Karen and Maria , ((((HUGGGGGGS)))

Had a dreadful migraine the last two days , came on about half an hour after finishing my last post . Think it was the thought of trying the photo again . ( No , only kidding !) Just so happened to coincide with the feria in the village below us . So it was party time until 6.30 the last two mornings . Normally does´nt bother me at all , I singalong , watch the fireworks from bed , great . Not the last two nights . I´m a real wimp when i get a migraine , I just cannot cope at all , thank god OH was away , at least I could snivel in peace .However , today´s not been too bad .
Must go , I want to iron my posh frock to meet "El Duke " what time is the reception ? So excited , is there a Dukess , or are we in with a chance ? Which of us is single and looking ? Peregrine , I could live with that ,Perhaps that wa perry Como´s real name , I bet heather or Sandra will tell us he was really Joyce or Marian like John Waynne , or was it marilyn ? Oh I don´t know , must go . What´s your rooms like , my bed was slept in by a Queen , there´s a carving on the headboard , says "three queens slept here , Jason , Tarquin , Dominic , 2001 "
luvKris

Oooppps!
Hi K, hope you are having a lovely holiday, bit slow but it has now clicked with regards to the fluid round the heart and Lupus! my mum has an autoimmune disease, thankfully under control xxx

Evening Ladies,

Carol, No TAX isn’t really that bad! next time l will be ready and waiting for it!! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Other than the yuk mouth and a few aches for a couple of days, no problem!!
It is worse than FEC, but do able,
Hope party boy had a lovely evening and night! Did Vickie pop over for breakfast for them? Neaver realised you all lived so close?
Fancy you missing your breakfast, that will teach you, hope the shopping arrives, is it tomorrow? do you get a one hour slot? if ours are late they give you a £5 or £10 voucher off your next shop, l keep telling him to come late! but he wont!

Gill, How you doing? so you feel normal? well lucky you! Head feels ok now, just a little light headed feeling.
Yes the aches and pains come with the injections and the chemo, so choice which one you want to blame it on!

Isabelle, what will you do with yourself next week? sleep? well done

Heather,Oh poor you, not sleeping again, perhaps a wooden mallet?
Oh don’t go down the sleeping pill route unless you really have to, perhaps once or twice a week to give you a good couple of nights?

Maria,yes you do have 2 star bones, that almost sounds lucky?
Perhaps they can do a yearly ultra scan, on your Mum rather than an op! l use to have a internal ultra scan and blood tests,
I was under a trial at the Royal Free with my ovaries, and l had 6 monthly checks because l had cysts, they also use to do internal ultra scans, and a CA125 blood test, in the end l had my ovaries removed because the cysts were growing, and the surgeon didn’t want to take any chances.

Anne, No TAX is fine, just me being a baby!
well done on the shaved head, and good luck with your 2nd FEC on Wednesday, and of course your bloods on Tuesday

Kris. Thought you had been quiet? l use to suffer with migraine, so can sympathize, although l wont, because l have my own problems with TAX! sorry about you not enjoying the night time fireworks! so you usually enjoy them from your bed? not sure we need to know that!
Yes l like Peregrine too, although it would have to be Perry, as for Perry Como, now that bought back some memories…Are you ready Heather…Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, never let it fade away… oh l loved that song, use to sing that with my Dad walking home from football on a winter evening. Yes he use to make me watch him play football! lol. And l still love football!
Oh yes what was l saying, just googled Perry Como his name was Pierino! he was married to his wife for over 65 years, how lovely, she died a few years before him, and sadly he died of Alzheimers! Horrid!

Elaine, l think you are having your first chemo on Wednesday! good luck with the bloods and the chemo, 6 FEC Easy!!

Lesley, am l right in thinking your chemos are not every 3 weeks? or have l got that wrong?

Denise, hope number one son had a lovely weekend, and you are feeling ok!

Woke with a spring in my step this morning, went for a lovely walk with the dogs, and thought l feel good.
Then l felt a little tired and sat and watched the Gambling man this afternoon. and Robson Green died! and the tears came! silly old woman! and does Robson care? no because he is in his lovely home enjoying his life, while l sit here and cry for him!! the woman’s gone mad!

Love and Hugs
Sandra xxx

Phew started to read all the posts and went away to Google Lesley’s debut in the newspaper and there were even more posts lol.
Lesley you look quite pensive and I understand why but well done you hope the donations are still coming in. Good that you made a point for routine mammos very nearly did not go myself ))
Suze not surprised you were up late having moved your Mum you must have been shattered. Hope she is settled in now. Mm caviar dipped gardeners Yum yum are there any left? Good anagram ‘star bone’ still have poor little Franken boob so perhaps I shouldn’t comment but am hopeless at Suduko etc so am v. Impresseed with your skill.
Karen we will look after your house and try not to upset the neighbours well not much and if we do they can come and dance away the night with us and then they can come and help us in the flower beds at the Duke’s. Thanks for the buffet.
Glad to hear your brain is OK and that they are carefully monitoring your heart do you have your monitoring gear in a back pack on the way to Devo? Hope you and Mary have a lovely break you both really deserve it.
Heather saw the times you are posting wow lass)) So sorry that you have so much pain and that getting into a comfortable position to sleep is so difficult. I know you said you didn’t want to take any more meds but have you tried just half a sleeper? I am on few meds but occassionally during chemo and whilst waiting for results with infections on board too I took ½ -1 Temazapam and slept well. Couldn’t cope with Herbal stuff as it gave me hallucinations. I was going to offer to ride pillion on your scooter down those long corridors with you but see that Lesley got in there first.So as she is our celeb better let her do it lol. Think Gill was on for riding pillion too, how many can you amnage on the back Heather? What a tale about the stitch up your nose, it’s a wonder that you did not pull it inside out. Heres hoping you have a more restful night.
Sandra hope you are feeling a bit better that Tax sounds like strong stuff. Gosh sons are really up to surprising us but nicely.So hope you are able to enjoy your little ones again as much as ever. Spinning in a chair just reading that makes me feel dizzy.Bet the g-c love it though. Have real difficulty at fairgrounds with the smell of diesel and candy floss and whirling rides makes me feel v. Queasy and pre PM too, but I used to grit my teeth and do it when my children were little and now with the g-c we walk to the end of South Bay and there is a mini fun fair there with a Helter Skelter and mini roundabout all very tame so I can manage that.And I can do the Windsor and London Eye with them so not too hopeless. Scan for my d-i-l tomorrow so fingers crossed they have not decided yet whether to ask about the sex of the baby. Yes I had a lovely 50th birthday( still married and no BC) but my 60th will fall a year after the day I was being given options re treaments and even my Onc said if we go with chemo will not start tomorrow as that is your birthday and so I feel I can’t celebrate the anniversary of my 59th either lol))Perhaps I will lol.

Ann sorry you are feeling like c**p hope you are up to joining us again soon.
Gosh saw Tracey and Suze up posting in the night too.Tracey it hit home when you said the reality of having BC had just dawned.It’s so so awful even after chemo I was still in denial although I did not realise it at the time and only after the 1st surgery did the reality sink in, we have denial for a reason. There is a thread somewhere on here with an article by Peter Walker from Cancercounselling trust. Althought it is about after all the treatments it really helped me. Will try to find the link and post it.
Gill sorry that you too are/were feeling like c**p. Will have to toss a coin with us and Lesley for riding pillion with Heather, not sure that it is safe mind.
Carol well done on getting up sounds awful your last PM hugs and hope it passes soon.What a pair your OH and son were springing that surprise on you but lovely too. My reverse surprise to this I was going to Heathrow to collect my son on his return from the Middle East a few years ago. My car had been playing up and long story short was brought a courtesy car. 4 miles on the clock big, black shiny and spoiler thingys on the back- a real boy racer lol. On leading him across the car park well lol only occasion I did not ‘loose’ my car at Heathrow he did not believe it was mine until I clicked open the doors and boot. Completely wasted on my doing a sedate ?? mph down the M4 lol.
Isabelle what a relief to finish rads so pleased for you, off again tomorrow I keep ladling on the acqueos but boob and axilla feeling like it did after WLE and ANC mm still doing exercises and skin looks OK. Think I also see my Onc too tomorrow and also a lovely friend is driving me too so lovely to have a chat with her. Hope the barn is not in too much dissarray can’t imagine how it got like that lol Must have been Heather on that scooter of hers lol
Kris how you make me lol. Get that posh frock hanging in the bathroom while you ahve a shower s*d ironong it. Now there is a queue here for any Dukies foot and fancy free and I’m at the front of it single and giving the impression I’m not looking.
Well will have to wind up now as No.1 daughter and her b-f due soon from Dorset soaked through and with v.v. wet tent which needs spreading out in my garden to dry they have only had 4 days hols and it has been a very wet camping hols for them.But thya rae still all loved up so that s good.
Vicki hope you are OK. Not sure if I have missed anyone out but hoping you all have as s/e free a week as poss. Hugs Jackie

Evening Ladies, Well I am either just going to stay up tonight, or try and lie down when I cant keep my eyes open any longer. It is Herceptin day tomorrow so that may make me tired. I think I will wait till Ive seen the doctor this week and if sleeping gets no better I may try half a sleeping tablet a couple of times a week. Hubbys parents came for lunch today, it is nice to see them, MIL is coming to stay in a couple of weeks while FIL is in Florida. I will have some company at night time then because she doesn’t sleep a lot. Well I have thought of a fairground incident (you knew I would lol) it wasn’t me that caused the problem though. I was 13 and we had a fair come to the village every year. The fair then was a family thing and my parents and grandparents use to go on the Saturday evening. Well believe it or believe it not I was really shy when I was younger, and the year the fair came when I was 13 I asked if I could go with my friend. Well eventually mum said yes, and I went off with ringing in my ear ‘watch what your doing, dont go on those fast rides’. Well me and my friend where having a laugh, wandering around on my own without my parents. Then my friend said lets go on the Waltzers, well I had never been allowed to go anywhere near those sorts of rides before. So off we strutted got sat down and it started. It was whizzing round very quick, and all of the girls where screaming, I was really enjoying it feeling very grown up. Then I saw has the ride whizzed round my mum coming up the steps to the fairground men, and she stopped the ride!! She said I looked terrified and thought I was going to fall off, so she stopped the ride and fetched me off. That was the first really embarrassing moments of my teenage life. I just wanted the ground to open up, the thing is I made up for it later going on the rides I wanted to go on, as long has my mum wasn’t going to the fair lol and I have had a lot more embarrassing moments in my life lol. I had another moment about the same time. My mum went shopping on the Saturday and bought me my first pair of grown up tights. So off I went upstairs to put them on, I came down feeling very pleased with myself. Well I strutted round showing off, then my dad dropped a bomb shell on me, he said ‘Feath go across the shop and get my green paper’ (the green paper was a local football paper that came out Saturday tea time). Well I was horrified, he wanted me to go to the shop wearing my tights, and outside the shop all the local lads use to hang about. So I thought what can I do, he gave me the money and I went into the hall and stood there and daren’t go. I stood there for ages looking out of the window in the hall to see if the boys had moved on, but no there they stood. Well then I heard my dad say “where has she got to, shes been gone ages” and I was still stood in the hall. Then after about 15 mins of listening to my dad asking where I could have got to when I heard my mum say “give me my coat I will go and see where she is”. Then into the hall came my dad and I was still standing there, he couldn’t beleive it. I was bright red and my mum fetched the paper, needless to say I didn’t go out in my tights for a few months lol That wouldn’t happen though now would it now. I see young girls going to school, full make up on, mini skirts, fake tan, I would never have dared.
Maria, Glad your feeling a bit better at the minute, it must have been quite a shock for you. No Maria I cant do DIY I am not safe, and would fall off the ladder. Hope you have a nice kitchen opening party, are you going cut a ribbon ?
Carol, have you enjoyed your duvet day ? where the scrambled eggs has nice has hubbys ? You where right, I came up with a fairground story, you knew there would be one there somewhere lol
Taxi, Good luck next week, hope bloods are ok and peachy goes ahead, then thats another one ticked off. It is awful when your hair just keeps falling out, my hubby shaved mine and I cried. It was the first time I had really broke down since I had been diagnosed, I had cryed but not broke down, but losing my hair did that to me. It has all grown again now, and it is really curly, very easy to do.
Lesley, I found your piece in the paper, it was very good. You look very thoughtful in you picture, and your wig looks great.
Kris, hope your migraine is better, I dont suffer with migraine but always get a sickly head ache when the weather is humid. Sorry you didn’t enjoy the fireworks, I would have been ok there, I would have been wide awake. Wow are you taking a posh frock, Mine are all to small, I will have to nip out to the shops if were eating with the Duke, do we have to curtsey because if we do I wont get up again.
Sandra, have you got that mallet I think I might need it tonight. ‘Catch a falling star’ ‘Magic Moments’thats another Perry Como one. my dads song he used to sing all the time, and every christmas was ‘Dont Laugh At Me Coz I’m A Fool’ Norman wisdom, if I ever hear that song now I am in floods of tears.Glad your feeling a bit brighter, hope it lasts for you. I always cry at Catherine Cookson plays and books, I have just finished reading’Justice is A Woman’ I am reading a book now my daughter lent me, and there is quite a few explicit sex scences in it, I said to her today ‘Well this is a good book to lend to your mother lol’ it is quite good though, miles away from Catherine Cookson though.
Jackie, it looks like the a good nights sleep is a long way off. I think I will give taxi rides down the corriders. I could perhaps have one in the basket at the front, and one on the back. Right we will fix you up with a blind date with dukie, and if anything comes of it can we all be bridesmaids. Us mothers are good for everything aren’t we, I will add drying tents to my list, I hope they had a good time, if there loved up though the weather wouldn’t bother them.Good luck tomorrow with your appointment with your oncon.
Well I better say night night, I have got weigh myself in the morning, I have been really good on my diet this week. I just hope I have managed to lose a couple of pounds.
Hope youve all had a good weekend, and good luck to everybody this week on treatment.
Take Care,
Love Heather,
xxxxxxxxxx

Spoke too soon about feeling well :frowning: Almost went to A&E last night, am in so much pain through the night,my hips and pelvis were in spasms. Am on 8 paracetamol through the day but it’s really not stopping my bone pains.
Fortunately had some codeine left over from my operation and that numbed it emough for me to sleep.
I hate Tax.
Gill :frowning:

Heather darling do try to go to sleep, shall I come round with a mallet and bring Sandra? Was just about to close down and saw your post. Love and sweet dreams to all Jackie

Gill our posts crossed do hope your pain settles soon B****y Tax. Sleep as well as poss. Hugs and love Jackie

Good morning ladies, well I am still trying to sleep.
Gill, were a right pair aren’t we, hope your tablets work. I should go and see the doctor to see if he can give you some stronger tablets. I cant take the real strong a pain killers they make me sick. I am wearing the to 2 morphine patches but there not doing anything at the minute, I am topping up on paracetamol but there not really strong enough.
Hey Gill which side is your pain, mine is the right side, was thinking if it was your the left side we would be ok for a 3 legged race lol.
Jackie, I should have stayed on line to say if you and Sandra could get that mallet sent on I would use it.
Well I am watching the Emmerdale Omnibus for about the sixth time, I was hoping the boredom might make me sleep, now I can see a dam spider running up the wall.
Right I am going to have another go at trying to get comfortable. Just hope I can get some rest or I will be going to sleep in the peachy unit today.
Have a good day folks,
Love Heather
xxxxxxxxxx

Good morning girls,
I hope Heather is now in bed and asleep and I do hope Gill is too. I am so sorry tax is treating you so badly, but I promise you, it will soon all be just a bad memory and it is all in a good cause, just think how those stray little bc bu@@ers are feeling, if there are any. I am glad some people seem to get away with little or no se from tax, but there are not that many it seems. I am no whimp but I HATE TAX, so all my sympathy is with you, just takes some hugs and have a duvet day.
Sandra, they can’t catch ovary cancer early with scans apparently. How old were you when you h ad them out, did it have any affect on you ?
Hugs to you all
Maria

Morning Ladies,
Went to bed with leg pains!!! but slept until 9am!!
Just a quickie!
Gill hope you found some ease with the pain last night and today, l had a phone call from a lady last night that l met on my first tax, she had her first last Monday, and she said she had never had pain like it and was really worried.
Not sure A & E would be the best place if you were in so much pain, think the 24/7 number to ring would be best, they would know best!
And you can always pop into see them!
Other than the bone pain in my legs and back, the shooting pain feels like a those pinball machines where the ball shoots from once place to another, whereas this is pain! But l must say it is a lot easier, so onwards and upwards!

Maria, I was on a trial at the Royal free about 4 years ago, l was told the internal probe l had would detect any cancer before it spread! they were doing three different sections of people - bloods CA125 which obviously would have spread! one group where they just kept and eye on them each year!! and the group l was in was the internal ultra scan! might be worth looking into to see what results they got and if they are still doing it!
So l would have been about 58ish, And no l felt no different before or after l had them out, as the saying goes…no sense no feeling!

Ok must go and get dressed and go out!
Jackie and Heather, you are like ping pong balls in the night, speak later ladies!
I feel like food!!
Hugs
Sandra xxx

Morning ladies,

Sorry to hear about the pain Sandra,Gill and Maria are having with the Tax…sounds absolutely awful…hope you can all get some relief from it.

Heather…I’m wishing you could manage to get some sleep and relief from the pain also.Even taking a sleeping tablet a couple of times a week may help…good luck with Herceptin and getting on the scales.

Hi to everyone else.Hoping everything going ok for you today xxx

Poor Gill and Heather , it´s not a duvet day you both need , it´s a duvet night . So dreadful when you cnnot sleep at night , all those awful thoughts come to you . I hate pills as weel , but sometomes i think you have to sucumb in desperation . Just had the third and last night of the fiesta , more fireworks and music until 6.30 . I have to say , the singing from about 4am onwards is a real hotchpotch , too much vino collapso ! Cotton wool does´nt work very well as ear plugs ,but i lost the ones i had in the hospital. ( Ear plugs are essential in spanish hospitals ! )
Jackie , is there a "Eye " in Windsor ,like the big one in London ?Maria , and Karen , life will get better , this year is just a nasty blip , you´ll both get over this and then there will be no looking back for either of you , I do believe that we are only sent what we can cope with , and we can usually cope with more than we ever thought .
Being really nosey , I may well have missed this so forgive me , but why were you involved in a trial four years ago Sandra , were you having trouble then ? You seem to have been through it , what with having to have three ops this year !
I loved Perry Como , like Heather and Sandra , reminds me of my mum and dad , mum was always singing "catch a Falling Star " and "Magic Moments " , I believe they were on the same 78 record . All right the rest of you, pick yourselves up off the floor and stop laughing ! This was all pre ipod, pre personal CD , Cassete , oh it goes way back , but we were only little then ! It´s awful to think of Perry Como with alzheimers , the other one I liked wwas Whats his name , the one with a similar voice , marrie to a french girl who was put away for murdering a ski instructor , he sang “Solitair ,” and "moon River ", I loved his shows , blow me , cannot remember his name , now that will proberbly keep me awake tonight .
Had a Heather moment today . Bathing Jack , he hates baths , now this is a dog that jumps in the lake every morning , but when I appear with the hose pipe …whoosh , he´s gone . So I have to close all the doors , then make sure the water in the hosepipe iscold , cos it coomes out boiling this time of the year . So I had all the paraphenalia , just minus dog . So I went to turn the hose off at the wall and the knob came off in my hand and before I could react and turn off the water I was soaked to the skin . Then eventually when it was all over , I went to turn it off at the end with the attatchemnet , and it swivelled round and got me again , even worse cos it kept spinning like a snake . Was I wet ? I was wet !!
Getting back to Chatsworth , was´nt the reception fantastic , and did´nt we all look the bees knees , talking of knees , we managed to keep Heather up in one piece , I thin his dukdom was very impressed with us , we´ll have to keep pushing jackie forward , has this duke got a duless or is he playing around .
Well Heather , you should have joined me last night if you could´nt sleep . I decided I needed a wee , as you do . But I had forgotten where they had shown us the toilets were . So there i was wondering around those huge corridors , bit drafty , and very poorly lit . I suppose it´s the expense of running the place , but these very low bulbs are´nt very good . I finally thought I´d found the bathroom , when I saw someone else making a beeline for it , thought it was one of you lot . "I´m not having this , " thinks I , being in a bit of a hurry by now , if you get my drift . “Sorry " says I , " But if you´re wanting the toilet , you´ll have to wait your turn …” Then before my very eyes she went straight in … I mean , straight in , like through the closed door !! Frit the life out of me .Forget my wee, I´ll hang out of the window if necessary , but no way am I going in there .
This place is haunted . wohoooooo!!!
luvKris

Hello Ladies,

Can I have a little moan please? It’s day 8 of no 2 peachy and I’m feeling a bit down - is this normal se?
I had a lovely weekend; OH took me for a drive on Saturday and we ended up in Llandudno, found a chinese restaurant and had a lovely meal. Son really enjoyed his break and we took him to Blackpool after we picked him up and had a stroll on the beach; lovely. Came home and this cloud descended on me and it’s still here! It could be cos I had to have an ultrasound scan on my womb today (hot spots on CT scan - could be fibroids) and combined with the fact that we should now be somewhere in France driving towards Spain… or maybe I just need to get a grip amd stop feeling sorry for myself?

I keep thinking about you all and feel guilty writing such negative things and I’m so sorry.

For now,
Denise x

Ps I want to be back in time for the next party

Dear Denise
Of course you can have moan. Feeling miserable is all part of the adventure, (I’m afraid) It is quite normal to feel down, you had a lovely weekend, doing normal things and wham, coming home brings it all back to you. We have all been there, and will be there again at some point, even when it’s all finished. As Kris says, we are only sent stuff we can deal with and you can, you are wonderful, all you do for son, and coping so well. A good cry helps sometimes.
Special hugs to you
Maria

Kris-Andy Williams, I used to watch his show.
Know what you mean about the festivals, they have them in Fance as well as you probably know. A few years ago we we went Eurocamping to Cote de Granite Rose. Tere was a festival in nearby vil;lage, the “music” went on till 6.30 in the morning
Interesting case of the hosepipe and the missing dog!
Denise, so sorry you’re feeling down, could have something to do with your cancelled holiday-LLandudno is lovely but not quite France.
Hope you feel better soon, I’m sure it’s only a temporary blip
Heather, the happy campers had good time and didn’t get too wet, his sister & boyfriend even joined them for a night under the stars!
so sorry you and Gill are having such a rotten time.
I new you wouldn’t let me down, Heather. And fancy standing in the hall all that time, how long did you think you could keep that up?
My scrammbled eggs were all right but nicer when they’re made for you.
District nurse came yeaterday to do my WBC injection, when I went to get ready for bed last night , I had an enormous (well the size of a 50p piece) bruise. I did my own today and-no bruise.
went to the hopice day centre today, there were only 5 patients-more therapists and nurses! so I had a heavenly back massage in the morning then reflexology foot massage. the therapist said she could feel a blockage in my left ear area on my left foot, which would be the Labrynthitis, very clever these Chinese or whoever invented reflexology.

Hello Ladies,
Denise, so sorry that you are feeling down today. Take it easy and be kind to yourself. I was thinking of you yesterday as we were out for the afternoon. We drove through Hawes in Wensleydale and there were hundreds of great bikes there and I just wondered if you might be amongst them! Obviously not if you were at Llandudno and Blackpool. You have a good moan if you need one we all do at times.I hope all goes well with your scan results when you get them.
Sandra, sorry to here that your getting such awful leg pains, hope they go off soon. I hope you got yourself something really nice to eat, a little of what you fancy eh!! Hope your feeling better soon.
Hugsxxx
Heather and Gill, I hope you both get a better night’s sleep tonight, I think you can always cope better through the day if you can get a good sleep, hope you can both sleep tonight.
I’ve been to bed this afternoon again, could sleep on a feather after rads. All finished now , it was loverly not to have to go all the way to Carlisle today.
Karen, I hope you are well today.
Vickie, Suzi, Jackie, Kris and everyone I may have missed, thinking of you all,
Have a quiet and peaceful night, with plenty of sleep!!!

Lots of love and hugs,

Isabelle xxx

Hi Ladies
Gill and Ann, l hope you have both had a better day.

Kriss, thanks for the funnies! perhaps you should send some to Heather, give her something to chuckle about in the middle of the night!
My Ovarian trial came about from a letter from my GP asking if l would like to go on a trial at the Royal Free, l had no problems with my ovaries at the time, l was chosen because of my age!! My three ops this year were a lumpectomy, a wider margin, because my silly surgeon couldn’t get a wide enough margin and the a star bone because my silly surgeon could still not get enough of a margin, but after the star bone, there was no signs of pre cancer in the rest of the breast, so l was kind of happy with that (just the nodes)
Oh who has been singing catch a falling star all day and magic moments all day? ME!!
I have a 78rpm Thomas the Tank engine story! yes on record! bought it a few years ago in a charity shop,
Andy Williams! he was married to Claudine Longet, she was divorced from Andy Williams at the time of the shooting, you say she got put away, she got 30days!! she said it was an accident! do you think we could get away with that??? hope you sleep now you know!
Loved your shower story!

Denise, Normal, Normal, and yes NORMAL! Bless you, such emotions we all go through, so glad you had a lovely time before you came home!!
As the saying goes, Homes is where the Heart is! hence the emotional times!
Honey l didn’t know you were having a scan (did l miss the post?) or did you keep it quiet? either way probably fibroids at your age! somethings we women get a lot of!
You write what you feel that is what we are here for, please dont ever feel the need to say ‘sorry’ on here, we are all here to support each other, through the good and not so good days.

Heather, for goodness sake girl get some sleep you are wearing me out! how about some knitting? l have been knitting hats for our local hospice, or you could knit us ladies a nice big blanket to snuggle under on the not so good days!
Hope herceptin day went as well as it can, how many are you down to now?
Think Perry is putting on a ball for us girls tomorrow night, so best ball gowns out girls! Kris put your incontinence knickers on before your ball gown then you won’t have to worry about the ‘lady’ be careful the story goes.
when she was little her Mum would always make her wait until she had been and sometimes the little girl would wet herself, then she would get beaten for wetting herself. This went on until she was a teenager and her mother was old and using a frame, her mother still insisted on going to the toilet first so of course the teenager was still wetting herself! never had a boyfriend, well would you always smelling of wee?
The daughter decided enough was enough, so to teach her mother a lesson she decided to put some rats in the toilet, when her mother went to the toilet the rats bit her so badly she died Ahhhh! the daughter was shocked, she only wanted to teach her mum a lesson! The daughter was hung for the murder of her Mum, and to this day she always checks the toilets to make sure there are not rats in there before ladies go to the toilet! so be thankful she pushed in front of you, and be careful when you sit on the toilet ladies!
Love and Hugs
