How are you doing after treatmwnt?xx
Hi Jen my onc told me chemo can be flexible explain you had already put support in place re previous timeline and hopefully they can accommodate that xx
Hi Jencat ,the same thing happened to one of the other ladies recently -can’t remember who ,they asked to change back to original plan and it was agreed.You need as much support around you as possible and to be mentally prepared for chemo -just tell them you can’t start til Wed.
Jencat
They qill accomadate you ro suit what you had planned. 2 days wont make a difference with treatment but can make a whole lot of difference for you with ED taking you and staying with you for the first few days. Also gives you 2 more days to prepare. Xx
Hi Jencat, they tried to move mine forward a week but I called the booking office and they reverted to the original plan. It did cause a bit of confusion yesterday because they had me down for two different times and had been calling me for an hour. The nurse was surprised that no one cheered when she finally got me!
That’s right it was you Chaffinch !! How are you doing ?
Aww your a lovely lady CK and have helped me tremendously!
Enjoy your business celebrations tonight!

The only thing with a late appointment that I found was not being able to sleep which was as a result of the steroids I think along with the nausea. See if you can get something to help with that. I believe that one of the anti sickness meds helps sleep too.
Hope they can accommodate you Jen xx
All over and done with in about 20 minutes Jen x I was surprised how quick the time went x
Was lying down normal as scan was on adrenal glands so didn’t need to lie in my front which I was relieved about as my boob is still tender x
Evening Lovelies
Long time no speak to most of you - been a busy week, so haven’t really had time to come on here. Need to catch up on what’s been going on but I hope you’re all doing well. Jencat, good to hear you’ll be joining me on the cold cap!! It’ll be day 18 for me tomorrow and whilst I don’t want to say too much and jinx it, my Catweazle hair is still hanging on in there. Unlike the hair from my errrmm, tufty club, as I noticed in the bath last night. TMI !!! ?
I think next week is possibly peak hair falling out week if it’s going to, so I’ll keep you posted. In the meantime I’m still on my search for the perfect wig. Longer running storyline than who shot JR… ?
? Bakewell xx
Hi Cherry. I love to read your posts not only do they make me smile but they always make me want a cherry Bakewell.
I’m not cold capping and on day 9. Ive started to notice in the last couple of days that there’s more hair coming out when I wash it and some on my pillow in the mornings. All other body hair appears intact.

All I can do is laugh ? thank you ???
I looking forward to not having to trim downstairs ?
Jencat find yourself a good book to distract you xx
Cassie hope your ok x
What chemo drugs are you on ?? You are remarkable!
I have managed to nibble a couple of small bits of homemade sausage roll tonight with a small amount of veg, that’s the nearest to normal food that I’ve had for 48 hours. My sausage casserole on the first night lasted 8 hours but wasn’t digested at all.,.sorry more tmi! I’ve been living on bland carbs and one omelette since.
I think that our diet is very much like fir pregnancy the elderly and under 5’s so no runny eggs, unpasteurised dairy, shellfish. We were told that alcohol was ok in moderation if we felt up to it later on. I can barely drink tea at the moment so I can’t see that happening but I might be surprised!
Good luck with the cold cap, I’m too much of a wuss and have fine thin hair anyway so would probably be a waste of time
Thanks ladies, for the kind words?
Jencat, SueW, CherryB, Ali49, Rosie, Xena75, Rachy65, Mai7, Chaffinch, Whytefawn! We will do this!!! 
And thank you to our CCs for the words of support every day and night to our members! Ive been so grateful and inpressed at you day to day response to all tbe posts and even got to see a CCManager somewhere on here yesterday:) SueC, Ann-m, Lady Bowler, Jill1998, BlueAsh and other CCs, you probably dont even realise how you help us towards this difficult time but the main thing is you understand us and you are using your experiences to help us! Other members just by posting are helping each othe too! It truly is a fantastic forum, run by a great team who I know put a lot of work into it in the background which we dont see. I can see you CCs all discussing tooxx
It has been an emotional week and I was naughty because after being strong and positive from diagnosis I started to reflect on what I have had to do for the past 20 years on my own and the challenges I faced which in time I resolved and here I am again…and this is the most difficult mentally and physically! BUT again I will do it with the help of you ladies, my friends and my BCT and it really does make me smile to see all of you chatting away here, giving each other advice, sharing experiences with a bit of humour thrown in here and there!
Even though its pants (where’s Lady Bowler?) We have all been given a second chance so must fight this war together with our treatment whatever it is and come out on top…and try to think that its your bodies way of saying ‘I’m number one now, look
after me first and then think of others!’
I’ve come to the conclusion that chemo, scans, ops, drugs, hospitals and all that is given to me is on my side, my mate,my allie and each time I have any of these, its the next step to recovery!
And, the same goes to you ladies too…so hang in there!!!
As a celebration of 18 years next Sunday I’m organising an event to raise funds towards Prevent Breast Cancer (I did it last year too which was b4 diagnosis, and now Im needed the help. Never say never!) which is as the Nightingale Centre in Wythenshaw! This charitiy was set up by a worldwide know Consultant for Breast Cancer Lester Barr who diagnosed Sally Webster on Corrie and in real life and it is researching how to prevent BC in our future generations!

Carbs and omelette (egg well done) is good enough for you as they say plenty of carbs and I found with the 2nd cycle different taste buds yet again. I was on just butter croussants and milk for a couple of days first cycle but this cycle cheese on toast. Just eat what your body is telling you and try drinking herbal teas instead of caffeine tea/coffee!
My faves were mint tea and ginger and honey tea and Camomile at night. I was naughty and had a littly shandy last night???
I have been invited to a wedding party tonight, but not sure if will go as right now I’m not feeling I look good enough although Im sure no one will be bothered how I look!
Habe a goid day ladies! Its nice and bright in Sourh Manchester.??
Ck sent you a private message xx
Well, you are certainly a star ? yourself, CK with your ‘can do’ optimism & positivity & wow! fundraising in the middle of treatment too ? & thanks so much for being here ?
Everyone here makes the forum the fab place it is, you’re all brilliant!!!

Thanks Helena for the tough pants, I need them today. We all have different experiences in this but the support we get here is invaluable. Thank you for giving back in the way you have. Having the right support is so important because most of us don’t just have this to deal with in our lives, the usual and extra unusual challenges are still there.
How is your husband doing. MS. Is another cruel illness x
CK never mind what you look like if you feel up to it go and celebrate tonight. We need to collect positivity where we can. Bet you look better than you think too x
I’m glad that he is ok in himself, your mental attitude takes you a long way x
I’ve just managed a short walk and feel so much better for it.
Pet query I have got a tortoise he eats pellets and lettuce and only has to actually be cleaned out every 3 months because of his enclosure which hubby will do has anyone been given guidance on reptiles? Xx
