Hi girls,

love the poems but have got a little lost with the posts so sorry.

Want to send many hugs to Anne. So sorry about your SIL.

Maria, guess you are over here now. Wish I knew where as may have been able to pop over to say hello.

Sandra, still got the g-c’s ? Hope rads are going Ok. i found them way easier than chemo though still emotional

Vickie - well done for getting to end of rads.

Have had call to say that I won’t be seen in bc clinic till March and not to worry as radiotherapy still working. Very confused !!

Results of heart scan not good so now have to have CT scan on 8th Nov to get more detailed results.

But on a good note I have my naked photo shoot on Friday. Am getting very nervous but looking forward to it as well.

I know I have missed many people out and apologise but send everyone hugs.

Hello lovely ladies.Been trying to catch up at home since my friends left and on here too with even more friends. Whoops inserted laterSorry then got interrupted as gas boiler man came at 6.15pm as I have had no heating or water and haven’t had for 2 months oh woh is me.
Maria hope you have had a safe journey over not sure where you are staying in the absence of a little book like Sandra I seem to recall Liverpool? And Reading?Perhaps not my more brain gets quite confuddled these days.Add to the thermals gloves and a warm scarf.Hope you get some r&r soon from your posh op.
Well odes from Oldham and Enfield what talented ladies Vicki and Suze are. Sandra yours made me weep can def relate to that. Vicki well done on the last rads another step in the right direction. I felt at last rads phew and another sense difficult to describe sad in a way but relieved too.Hope you can be as persuasive as poss with your OH won’t ask how could be TMI. Lol hope it does not include tying your arms down. Esp on a Sat night.
Wendy hun you were posting in the wee small hours hope you are OK.
Heather hope the g-d b’day dinner goes well. Your daughter was very mature and brave in her dealings with her father. Bet he is still a control freak with the new wife but you have got a lovely caring OH now so not your prob eh? When is the baby due? Good decision to buy baby clothes and not knit them, could be still growing into them at 18yrs lol.Hope the hip is continuing less painful and you can get some sleep.Well just as I was about to post as the boiler man had gone I saw a later post from you cancer patients not getting some prescriptions my GP will only give prescriptions for 1 mnth it is a dispensing practice. So v. Difficult Hope this is wrong.
Sandra love the hiyateardrop anagram. Now all the naughty things are coming out no wonder the police man dropped his torch lol.Your secret is safe with us. Sorry to hear about your SIL but a merciful release as you say. A big decision for you niece to make, brave girl.Weighing up the uncertainty must have been tough. Hope she is recovering well. I haven’t had any e-mails from anyone about complementary therapies via the forums and I’m not complaining hope the mods got that kicked into touch.Yes a meet up after Christmas would be good, in the car park otherwise known as the M25 did you say? Well girl you need to come home from rads and rest no wimpiness in that just do it when you need to.
Isabelle sounds like a lovely day they put on for you at the hosp. Hope work has gone as well as poss.Hope your Onc was on better form ( if he has such a thing)at your appt.
Carol glad you had a lovely time in IOW, to say it is not so far from me I have never been there obviously if its good for shopping it has been very remiss of me.Hope your PM goes as well as poss.
Gill what a lovely kind son you have.
Kanga Kris so you scooted back to the warmth of Spain then. Pity about Ryanair shutting up shop until Feb perhaps Sandra could put in a word with Richard for you?
At the sound of being boring again I have been having a grim time with the erstwhile abscess. Have seen the PS team today and for the last 2 Weds, 1st time running down the corridor pulling up trousers. Surgeon told me then that it needed to heal up before any more could be done. Last Weds when asked by my NZ friend why the cyst was still there a diff guy said it had been too infected at the time of surgery. I got to see the histology report no seb cyst seen and no cancer cells either. Strangely the latter had not worried me too much as it had been there for years.I checked my consent form and had agreed to removal of cyst which is still there.So why was I not told this, perhaps they thought I wouldn’t notice. The OPD appts system hear is in chaos so told to ring yesterday for appt in 3 weeks ie’ 4 weeks from last one. Told appt in Dec. Wot . Long story short saw the PS consultant ( made a little bit of a fuss yesterday) this am who told me that the ‘bugs had eaten away the walls of the cyst’Felt like telling him - really dear you need to get a grip and can you put that into proper medical terminology but didn’t ( felt like saying I’ve had BC so you don’t frighten me.) and he kept going back to the histology report saying no cancer seen.Clearly side tracking me time and time again. I really cannot face the thought of that heavy load of infection cropping up again and need the cyst removed asap.We were going round in circles and I just about resisted telling him not to lie to me.Now had 3 diff versions in 3 weeks.So have an appt with GP tomorrow and want a 2nd opinion. I want to be able to recover and have a break away but haven’t been able to because of this.And need to think about going back to work as the pressure is on there too.Even my Onc last Tues was shocked that this was an ongoing situation and saw my abdomen and stepped back, and I had not had known about todays appt. Sorry for the rant and in the scheme of this is small compared to what some of you lovely ladies have/ and are putting up with.
Denise always think of you as Nell now. Hope you are OK. Not sure what to say about the Mx.I had been only briefly faced with that and picked out a PS for recon already not the b****r from this am either. Seems quite a while to go for you but it will pass quickly enough as does the rest of all this c**p. It is a big op but easy for me to say I really had decided I would do it, but that turns out to be hypothetical now. And I have no one else to consider but myself, but Hun just do what is right for you. The dream machine now in hibernation for the winter?
Lesley glad you had a good time in Cheltenham. Can’t figure out the CMF does that mean you have C +/or M+ /or F some this week and then the rest next ,or do you have it in 2 half doses? Hope you are OK whichever it is.Pleased that you met up with your friend. I think the longer the silence goes on the harder it is and then time passes.Interesting how some people can’t speak to even old friends. I remember when my father died, he was only 42 and his best mate never spoke to my mother again. He even crossed the road if she was walking towards on the same side of the street.He came to our house every Sat and Sun for tea before then as he was not married at the time.
Ladies wishing you all as well as poss in whatever is happening for you love esp to all not mentioned by name not forgotten. Love and hugs Jackie xx

karen, enjoy your naked photo shoot, its a once in a lifetime experience, unless you really enjoy it and turn page 3 girl on us! Sorry your heart scan results werent too good, hope ct scan throws some light and helps things?

sandra, loved your poem, especially the last line, i think that sums it all up pretty well in a few words.

I bought 3 wooly hats yesterday, tk maxx has loads in. My head has been freezing since the weather turned but is now v snugsy.

Well last radiotherapy session went well. I bought the staff a big tin of celebrations as, yes you guessed it, a celebration! And i bought the radiographers a couple of compilation cds given the dire nature of some of their music choices. Suze, Carol, you will both thank me when you are listening to barry white whilst being zapped by electrons and photons! I had to hold it together on my way out as the tears were starting to flow. I cannot believe this year and it still all seems surreal. But am enjoying a few glasses of sparkling wine now which is good. have also bought the boys new coats. Mimi boden has a 30% catch of the day sale and its coats today and i needed retail therapy!!!

Hi to everyone else i missed and thanks for all your lovely comments about my last radiotherapy. Oh, i lost a a dress size after dx and through chemo but am now just about settling back to my pre dx size12-ness. Yep, you can all throw stones at me for not putting on weight!(yet…!)
Vickie

1964

Hi Ladies,
Wendy, sorry l made you weep out loud!! not too loud l hope? don’t want you upsetting the neighbours! Hope you are keeping well?

Anne, So sorry to hear about sil, my sil’s funeral was today, so not a good day in all. Gosh a long way to go, at least mine was only 5 mins away! What is it with you girls and the weight? how can you eat when everything tastes so awful? when l read your post you said you had gone up 3 dress sizes and cant get out of the door! so l had to re read it! sorry about that!

Carol, Hi really pleased you had a lovely time in IOW, l love the place! No signs of and s/e with rads, are there any? not bothered to read or look about it! can’t be as bad a peachy! just splosh the cream on and drink water! Hope your bloods were ok, and good luck for peachy number 7.

Tracey, rads going well, we have a guy there that goes the same time as me, and wants to know the ins and outs of everyones treatment! and he is so loud! l try and keep my head down reading my messages on my mobile, dreading tomorrow, in case he and l are the only ones there!! Lol so far l have managed not to make eye contact with him! think l will put my dark glasses on tomorrow. No music, well l suppose you could say we have ‘silence is golden’ think it was the tremelos? or is that wrong?

Nell, you will always be our Nell with or without a cleavage!! must say l have always had a cleavage, and do miss one! hate having to choose clothes with round necks or high necks, even v ones don’t seem right, l am frightened to bend down, need to buy a dress for gc’s christening in November, all my dresses are…well not low but show a cleavage, can’t find a damn thing at the moment!
Recon? Think you have to have a big tummy to have the tummy one dont you, thought my tummy was big, but the nurse said not enough fat if l wanted one from the tummy! anyway l thought who the hell wants a belly button instead of a nipple!! Only on day 3 of rads and hate having to mess about with the rubber boob in ‘that’ room, no changing rooms, just strip off in front of everyone! use to that aren’t we girls!

Heather,Hope you have a lovely time at gs first Harvest Festival, that will bring a few tears to your eyes!! yes you make sure you get to that birthday party, keep that head up! good luck with your creative writing, sometimes things just flow…Not really feeling down Heather, just a little tearful! if that makes sense.

Karen, Yes still got the gc, and yes sooooooooo much easier than peachy. May be wrong, but l think the rads work on the cancer cells straight away, but then it takes the cancer cells months to die off! perhaps that is what they meant! sorry to hear your heart scan wasnt too good, may be a bit of a poorly heart, but it is a ‘good one’ Enjoy your naked photo shoot on Friday, sounds real fun.

Maria and Vickie, how is the hair, met a lady today that was only 4 weeks after chemo, and she had a lovely head of very, very short hair, but so thick! l told her l finished chemo 3 weeks ago, but mine was very very thin.

Oh dear, l should be in bed, far too late for me, Love and hugs to all l have and have not mentioned.
Take care

Silly old me!

1966

Duplicate, then missed Jackie and Vickie…
Jackie, what on earth are you doing with that boiler man, he has been coming and going for weeks now?
Sorry my little books doesn’t contain Maria’s parent home!! Lol but l am sure it was Reading or near there.
Must have missed a post, keep reading about Heather and when is the baby due?
Your abscess doesn’t want to leave you, you often hear of ‘old ladies’ with an abscess on their legs that wont heal, perhaps you are and ‘old lady’ now!! yes l know, younger than me!!
Strange how people act when confronted with an illness or a death, l remember an ex neighbour of mine had cancer, when l found out l went to see her, she was so thrilled, said most people cross the street or look down, she had lived in the same street for 40 years and so had a lot of the neighbours, but they still ignored her! strange world we live in! l have probably lost two people l thought were friends, one said ‘she’ couldn’t cope and the other just wanted to know how long l had!! so asked her not to visit anymore! well another friend actually told her to stay away, because she made everyone miserable!! l couldn’t be that blunt!! funny enough we always called her doom and gloom!! she has lived up to it!

Vickie do you wear your wooly hat over your wig? only my wig lady told me not to wear a hat as it leaves a mark on the wig, but thought perhaps a wooly had may be different! need something those school playgrounds are damn cold!
We went to Next today, looking for coats for the gc, but we thought they were pretty rubbish, so will have to keep looking
How long before my taste buds come back? still got a rotten taste in my mouth, nothing really tastes as it should! it will be 4 weeks on friday!!

Love to all
Sandra xxx

1967

hi sandra
my taste buds came back after a few weeks. I have only worn my wig once over the last week, for my sons speech therapy session. Have just been wearing my cap, and now my bobble hat!luckily i am blesses with killer cheek bones, piercing blue eyes, rosebud mouth, creamy flawless ivory skin and a swan like neck and so the lack of hair just doesnt matter…

I thought next coats werent up to much this year either for my boys, they had the boden jackets last year and they were great though didnt cover their bottoms properly. Gonna try john lewis and debenhams.

My very good friend had her twin babies today, two girls, all doing fine. I am so very pleased for her, but also jealous ( how awful is that!) as if i had thought at the beginning of this year what i would be doing now, it would have been having a baby. So another bittersweet day, and have to focus on being so so lucky to have my two boys.

Vickie

1968

ps. hiar not fabulous yet, can still see my scalp but has come on quite a lot in the last few days.

1969

Oh B****r told you I did not swear until BC. Just sent a post into cyber space.Yes we did cross Sandra.Well the boiler man left me warm but not cos he is dishy but the radiators work and me with the hot flushes too lol And ye sSandra I/we are little old ladies now lol.If Maria is in Reading then I am only 20 mins away PM me if you like.
On a good note 2 lovely friends came into my life 1 disappeared 14 or so years ago and I never knew why. She had BC and a 4 yr old and decided to move to be nearer her feckless OH family. Well that came to grief and she moved back ringing me out of the blue 2 wks after Dx and has been so supportive since. The other one a colleague who we hit it off together as soon as she walked into the office in July 2009. When I appeared back through the door of my office (why?)in late Nov having been given my Dx that morning she clasped her hands to her ‘boobs’ and said 'You didn’t think these were real did you?‘Oh wow turns out she had BC at 28 and her GP would not refer her then at 29 he did and the rest is history. These 2 ladies have been my salvation. Only 1 old friend has never been in touch again and I really thought she would have been, one to cross off my Christmas card list then eh? As for hats I carried one around with me all over last winter ready if needs be. I love hats you should wear one not sure about them leaving a line on the wig tho’.Would keep the head cosy and I need one any way even with hair.Or what passes for it.Can’t help wih the taste buds as did not have Tax. Were rubbish on FEC though.And had a mettalic taste in my mouth lost weight with Dx and FEC. LOL Jackie

1970

Hello everyone,
Have just been looking through the posts but have such a bad memory at the mo and have forgotten most of it!!
Answers to things I do remember -
yes to Sandra, it would be great to meet up after Christmas, should over the rads by then :slight_smile: My taste buds haven’t fully come back yet either and I still have very tingly/numb fingers and toes.
Hair: have got some growing and it’ now 3 and a half weeks since my last tax. Head hair started growing while I was on tax although eyebrows and eyelashes fell out - very strange!!
Karen- enjoy your photoshoot, sorry to hear the heart scan wasn’t so good.
Heather, another baby to look forward to, that’s good news.
Maria, have a wonderful time over here!!
Sorry, that’s all I can remember and fingers are getting sore.
Good luck to everyone with rads, scans, chemo, medication and just living life.
HOpe you’ve all got your thermals handy!!
Sleep well,
Gill xx

Awake.gggrrrrrr.

1972

Hi everyone - am back from a real nice relaxing and warm sunny break in Cyprus. I must say it has done me the world of good and I feel so much better. Before I went whilst I had finished my RADS I was still feeling very down and tearful and couldn’t really understand why - but being away on holiday and being able to chill and putting things in perspective has helped.

We rented a nice villa so I was able to wander around not thinking about how I looked (whether my ‘non breast’ was ‘showing’ - my hair or not hair etc ) but in the evening managed my wig and prothesis very well (not too hot) and sat in resturants feeling ‘normal’ and like I was really on my holidays!!

My non breast decided to play up a bit in that the redness got redder and sorer (despite covering up completley) apparently it keeps getting redder and more sore for up to three weeks after RADS so be warned! But had lots of creams and now I have a dry brown ‘crisp’ non breast - not a good look but at least it feels better.

So now I have to catch up on the posts and see whats been going on - I will this ‘homework’ later today as I have to do a bit of shopping first - I don’t go back to work until Monday whoopeeee! - although being in the public sector not sure if I will have a job when i get back - but hey who cares…

Anyway girlies, love to you all - hope things are going ok and everyone is getting through their ‘adventure’ mostly unscathed.

ps did someone mention a meet up in the new year? I skimmed through latest posts quickly - if so count me in too.
take care xxxx

1973

Whoever said CMF wasn’t as bad as Epi is a big fat fibber!!!
Think they just meant it wasn’t as toxic and not so harmful to the veins. Within minutes of the last drop going in brain freeze for abour 10 mins then muzzy head and drunk feeling for 24 hours along with usual sick feeling. Taste buds gone stupid now everything tastes very strange. To-day(day 3) sicky feeling and the runs although head almost bacj to normal, and I have to do it all again next week.
And relax…Sorry girls I just had to get that off my chest.
In answer to a question asked a couple of pages ago the CMF is given in two halves one on day1 and one on day8.
I have tried to catch up on the posts and think that the poems are really good. Sandra’s was very poignant. I am working on one but will get back on that later in the week.
Heather-congratulations on the new addition.
Taxi–So sorry to hear about your bereavment sending you hugs.
Maria–the thing with packing for the UK is you never know what the weather will decide to do. To-day is beautiful but very cold, lovely day for a walk if you feel up to it.
At least I know that after next week I have 21 days pm clear so should have hopefully have two weeks when I don’t feel too bad.
Getting near the end of my 27 weeks on full pay from worl so need to find out about sick pay never been in this position before as I was never ill in the past so going to phone Dougie Mac helpline.
I hope that evryone is coping and that those under the duvet are snuggy and warm. Anyone having treatment, good luck and evryone take care and be kind to yourselves. Lesley xx

1974

Not a poem but some words that I hope may help someone out there, they help me.

Every morning I wake up and say “thank you”
“Thank you”-for finding my bc so early
“Thank you”-for giving the doctors the knowledge and expertise to take it away.
“Thank you”-for the wonder of chemotherapy the life giving fluid that will drive out the doubt.
“Thank you”-for giving me the strength to cope with all of this and get through it.
“Thank you”-for friends and family who are there for me and helping me though.
“Thank you”-for my life.

1975

Whoops ladies we are heading towards Page 3.
Lesley what lovely wise words you even managed to include PM although whoever told you CMF was easier than E was a fat controller lying through the teeth. No wonder they give it ½ doses. Hope you enjot the gap between now and the next. I too am coming to the end of my full pay but not sure what to do. Had always thought I would be back by now and I think I would have been had it not been for my abscess. Saw GP this am and he is sending me for a u/s scan, got this arranged for next week and then this aft had a call from unit saying my scan needed doing by a radiologist not a sonographer so date changed but only by one day am to go next week. Apparently this will show whether walls of cyst are still there. While I was there I told him about my sore ankle from falling off edge of kerb. It is very swollen and painful now and keeps giving way. Well he thinks it is gout WOT. Came home and yes I did google it. That led me straight to this forum and a thread started last year. Gout can be chemo induced oh give me strength it never b****y ends does it. But eh might not be. Have some tablets to take and when the pain stops and not before I am to go back for a blood test. Am spending too much time at that surgery. Yesterday was there to collect tabs and saw practice nurse who was off sick last week. Walked down the corridor to ask how she was and got ambushed sleeve rolled up and flu jab given. Have had it postponed as I have been on a-bs and infected too much.
Saffronseed so pleased that you had a great holiday. That seems to have such a cheering effect for you. Can I ask 1 question though. I am hoping to go on hols soon and wondered whether a lymphoedema sleeve is necessary as a precaution. There seems to be conflicting advice about this and the effects of flying on the ‘affected arm’.
Gill good to see your post.Its rotten having no taste buds and the tingling sounds grim too. I think Sandra had a thought that some of us Southerners might meet up, not confined to us of course.I think you and I are in the area along with her. But not having a little book like her I can’t remember where you are?
Hope all you lovely ladies are OK and enjoying the day as much as poss whatever you are up to.Looks like quite a few on rads now with3 of us Isabelle, Vicki and I recently finished. Feels quite strange in some ways to have got to this point when it seemed so far into the future not that long ago. Still feeling like I’ve turned a bit of a corner with a bit more energy still seeping back. It does help that I now have heating as of last evening another long saga of British Gas and their service. Could hardly get out from under the duvet but for very different reasons from most of you. Sandra are you resting now after your rads? A wee nap is just the ticket.
I had my 6 wk post rads appt with Onmc last week and my NZ friend came with her and I deliberately say anything about my Onc so I could ask her what she thought of him afterwards.When I asked what I could reasonably think my BC status was he said clear, so that will do for me for now.
Sorry think I am rambling a bit
Hugs and love to you all. Jackie

1976

Hello All,

Sorry ladies, no poems from me - I can’t possibly do anything as good!

Vickie - well done to you on finishing your rads. Has your sore breast improved and how is the tiredness? I have seen your other post on finishing treatment, please don’t disappear from the forum, it will be good to know that you are getting on ok, since you were diagnosed at a similar time to me.
I am halfway through my rads now, I have had a day off today as the machine was been serviced! Loved your “remission” poem - soo true.

Heather - hope all your family reunions have gone well and that everyone has behaved themselves. You seem quite calm about it all, good job really as you don’t need any more stress in your life. Is your sore throat better? Did you make to the Harvest Festival and granddaughter’s birthday?

Carol - are you back under your duvet now after your holiday? It sounds like you had a great break. Did you go the the Isle of Wight Studio glass place - I have a few bits of their glass, though quite a lot of it is a bit too expensive for me.

Tracey - almost on chemo 5, you are getting through it. How many are you having all together and are you having rads as well afterwards?

Denise - are you under you under duvet like Carol? My son is 15 and daughter is 13. How old is your son? They have a week and 2 days for their October break, back to school next Wed. My son sits his Standard Grades next April/May and has will have his prelim exams in November which all of a sudden seems very near!!
Please don’t expect the worst from having your mx. I have no problems with my prosthesis, I wear a mx bra with the pocket in to put the prosthesis in and it gives me no trouble. I also have a mx bikini top and a swimming costume (put away now for the winter!). Losing a breast is never what I would have chosen but when something like this happens all you can do is make the best of it. Ok so I don’t wear such low tops but I have very few clothes from before bc that I can’t wear now. Like you say, you can always have a recon so at least having only one breast may only be temporary.
Rads are going ok - the hospital is 18 miles away, in Edinburgh.

Karen - not great news about your heart scan and now more waiting. Good luck for the naked photo shoot - I hope they have plenty of heaters to keep you warm while you have no clothes on.

Sandra & Anne - sorry to hear about your SILs.

Jackie - good luck with all your tests, surely it’s time they got your abscess sorted and I hope your “gout” is treatable. Where are you going for your holidays?

Lesley - your CMF sounds awful - how many treatments do you have to have? I have just come to end of my 28 weeks on full pay. Yesterday my work sent me an SSP1 form to claim benefits ( my current sick line is valid until the middle of Dec) but I have no idea what benefits I would be entitled to. I have phoned the Macmillan help line but have to compile a list of all my expenditures and phone them back.

Gill - hope you are feeling better.

Hi to anyone I have missed out and take care all of you.

Jill

Hello Ladies,
I hope everyone is doing well today. The poems are so good, just how we all feel inside.
It’s loverly to hear that so many of us are now through or near to the end of rads now.
I went to see my oncologist on Monday, it wasn’t the awful one I saw before, it was a very loverly lady who was very helpful and understanding. I had an hour and a half to wait for my appointment, but it was worth the wait when I found it wasn’t the original onc I was seeing. I don’t have to go back until December but I have to keep an eye on things as I have a haematoma which is quite large, the onc said I should get back to her if it didn’t ease soon.
It has been loverly to get back to work this week, I have also had my youngest grandson Robin to look after today, I took him with me to the hairdressers and he also had a hair cut at the same time!
I’m having a day out in Kendal tommorrow with Robin and his mummy
( my daughter). We like our days out together now and again.
Karen, good luck with your photo shoot tommorrow, sounds exciting, just like a Gok Wan job!
I hope you are keeping well today, sorry to hear about the outcome of your tests. Hugs and good wishes xxx
I hope everyone else has had a good day today,

Best wishes to all,

Isabelle xxx

hi everyone

Jill, i am not leaving the forum, worry not. I intend to bore everyone for quite some time yet. My breast is still sporting a nice little suntan and the nipple is still wrinkly, swollen and hard. I understand why we are slipping onto page three a lot now, its because we are all page 3 poster girls!

Suze, did you know they are building a huge new children and baby unit at roh starting 1st nov so all the roads thru the hospital will be affected. Is on the oldham chron website. Hope rads going ok and you have had good music, If you are getting to eat celebrations, then think of me as i brought them in!

My hair is getting a bit thicker now but can still see my scalp on top, though the sides are a bit thicker. I have a scientifically proven theory, having examined in detail a study sample of one 36 year old mancunian woman, and apparently when hair on your body returns, its the bits you have spent the last 20 plus years trying to get rid of that come back fast and furious first. Legs definitely. Stray hair near nipple, yep. Reverse bikini line? Yep, only the side bits are growing well, not the stuff in the middle. The rule is challenged when it comes to eyebrows as, whilst other hair has started to grow, these beauties have carried on falling out. I do have eyelash stubble though.

Anyone on facebook? Am back on there now and looking for friends!

Right. off to browse the forum for interesting posts whilst avoiding scary stuff and then to bed with my book, a cup of tea and a aqueous creamed sticky breast.

Night all

Vickie

PS. GOut! The ripples from bc never seem to end. next they’ll be telling me to cut down on red meat, dairy , sugar and alcohol…

1979

oh, and yes to a meet up if someone has suggested it. If they havent, please will someone suggest it so i can say yes.

1980

Hi lovely to hear that your 1st week at work went well Isabelle have lovely day with your daughter and g-s tomorrow.Vicki you are anything but boring I can now lol so keep posting hun. Looked up the diet things for gout and apparently wine is the lowest in purines as far as alcohol goes phew. Only other thing on the list I eat loads of is Marmite yes I know but I really like it eat it by the pot full.Having read it up it is seeming less likely that this is what it is still a blood test will tell.Am off to bed with camomile tea, hottie, good book and sticky boob skin still gets a bit dry.
Your description of how the body hair grows back is spot on Vicki bikini line and nowt in the middle lol.At this rate you will have a fair covering by Christmas on your head that is.Sorry to hear about the prune like nipple though.
We had thought of a meet up in the south after Christmas but the more the merrier.
Night night Jackie
