Hi daisy enjoy the gig tomorrow. I didn’t know the specials were still going!!!
work has been ok and my boss emailed me tonite to say she does not expect to see me in tomorrow so I can support Den and JAck but both will be at work and school so expect to go in even if for a little while, Good luck for Friday if I don’t manage to get back on here.
Love sharon xx
Hi,
Sharon2 so sorry to hear about your Mum in law and especially for Den of course. Hope you are all coping as well as poss, and poor little Jack too. Well done for your first day back at work, how did it go? I would have wished you luck, sorry memory is still not back! Daisy hope the gig goes ahead. My eldest went to Brixton to a concert and it is quite a treck so rest up before and after.Julie see the unit or the GP about your tongue as there are lots of potions to help it, often thrush which needs nystatin drops. I al so had liquid salive and steroids for my tongue at various times. You have my sympathy it got my mouth every time too.
Can I get back to you about the time as it has suddenly turned into a busy day because I forgot everything AGAIN!

greetings - no3 over and done with in record time! My appt was for 11.15, 11.45 I am still waiting to be seen, and I don’t do waiting. So made the miserable moo on reception get off her jacksy and find out when I was going in! Two minutes later I was seen. She gave me daggers, so I stared at her, she soon returned to her monitor!
Is 6.45 too early for folk on the 14th?
Off to down some more water.
Have a lovely weekend people.

Hi,
well done Daisy for getting another one done and try to ‘chill’ if you have a wait, not good for you to have so much stress. It used to really annoy me too as I wanted it to be done and to get home but sometimes it was because another patient was having a real crisis. Hope this one is not too bad, well as not too bad as is possible with chemo, all things considered. Can we make 6.30 on Thursday? I will def be there but depends on my son to how long I can stay as he has an A level the next day and I may be required to test him!!
Take care all

Hi All
Hope everyone is doing ok? Daisy, well done, halfway there now! I can relate to the annoyance of hanging around. I have been there and hour and a half before they’ve even started my treatment! You just wanna get in there and out again asap don’t you??? Try not to stress too much, it doesn’t help but at least you can get on-line and have a good old rant and rave, we know how it is!!
Looking forward to seeing everyone on Thursday, 6.30pm is fine by me Lily, I am always ready for food!!
Love Helen x
Hi,
I have a problem. My Mum has been sent to a specialist at Springfield on, you guessed it Thursday evening. She wants me to go with her so I will only make it if they get through quite quickly. I hope to see you later on as she will want to go straight home but does not do the Army & Navy, so I will have to take her back first.I think I should be there for at least part of it unless you go home really early. Will ring someone that evening when Mum is safely delivered back

Hi all - 6.30 sounds great.
Don’t worry about me stressing, I LOVE complaining, it makes me relax! I am happy to wait for so long, then… off I go!
I am doing ok, no belching this time, shame really, was gearing up for Britains Got Talent! Bones are achy, but that’s easing off now.
See you all Thursday.
Daisy xxxxxxx
Hi All

Daisy - will bring hair stuff with me on Thursday.
Tracey - hope you’ve settled into your new home now
Sharon - hope you are settling back into work but not doing too much too soon. Sorry to hear about Den’s mum.
SharonBas - how are you?
Lily - hope you will be able to make it some time on Thurs.

Morning all
I will be there at 6.30, hopefully Helen or someone else will be too or I will look like I am touting for business if I sit there on my own!
See you tomorrow.
Daisy xx
Hi I will be there at 6.30ish and will remind Tracy tomorrow
Love sharon2xx
Hi,
I will be there asap, depending on the hospital and my Mother. Bev is coming but from a meeting so cannot say what time she will be there either. Don’t wait for us just in case.
Hugs

Oh dear, oh dear, was I not well last night. Within ten minutes of getting home I was violently sick and on the loo. Maybe it was something dodgy I ate, not sure, but boy was I rough.
Once I had completed my party trick, I went to bed and slept soundly! Woke up this morning feeling ok, but mouth is now like the bottom of a bird cage and throat/tummy sore.
Rang the emergency GP who said to keep an eye on my temperature and look for blood, and to keep sipping water.
So, I will be spending the day feeling sorry for myself and wishing I had ordered something other than the chicken & profiteroles!
Hope everyone had a good time, it was great to see you all.
Daisy x
Oh Sharon, I was coming on here to say many thanks for bailing me out last night and will pay you when I next se you but feel I need to be saying poor you. I had the runs this morning and I’m thinking that my prawns did not taste of anything so should I have ate them!!
Next time we go out we need to go next door, I know slightly more expensive but quality of food and ambience is good!! Hope you are feeling better soon.
Julie, hope number 3 was ok
I am feeling knackerd so off to bed and will try to book hall tomorrow for our “in the pink”
Love to all Sharon2 xx
Hi TO all
Well just a quick note. went for chemo at 9.30 but never started me off till 12! waited ages. then had to put needle in a side vein, not comfortable! but seemed to catch up and was out by 3.20. so quick, once started! Never slept last night at all so really tired but would be more tired if it was not for the steriods!! Been given bucket loads of meds, got that steriod cream to put on tongue if still get it you said about Val. also sleeping tablets to counter act steriods!
Sorry Sharon about Dens mum i ment to say that last night ,its awful to hear sad news also, what is the pink do you are talking about, I would be interested in coming if its to help raise money be a brilliant idea. and happy to help in any way.Give Tracey my love and hope she is settled in her new home,also sorry you was felt yuk last night after meal and other Sharon too,
Good luck for Tuesday Helen in case i forget,
Love to all , hope you are ok Sharon basxxxxx
Hi,
so sorry to hear you were unwell and feeling lucky to have missed it. Hope I didn’t jinx you saying salad is dangerous to eat out when on chemo!! Best wishes to you all to feel better very soon.
Flora my hubby forgot to enter one daughter for the race and it is full now, they say in the paper. So if it is still available then she would love to do it for you and she will run fast!
Lovely to see you all, take care
Lily x
Morning all
Sharon2 - I agree with you, next door it is! Sorry to her you were rough too, mine came on within about ten ninutes of getting indoors. It must’ve been their food, all I had for lunch was a jam sandwich, don’t think much could be iffy with that!
Can you remind me of the name of that charity you mentioned? Cheers x
Julie - sorry to hear about the wait, not what you want. Fingers crossed the side effects this time will be less of a pain.
Flora - thanks so much fo rthe wiggy bits, much appreciated.
All the best to the rest of you ladies.
Daisy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hi
Good to see those of you on Thursday. Pity for the Sharons who were not well. A different place might be a good idea.
Lily - That would be great re Race for Life and I will obviously sponsor her. I’ll let you know when the stuff comes through. Should be this week I think.
Helen - Angela and I would like to come with you to the ball in October, could be fun. You said you wanted to get together a table of 10, are you close to that yet?. Do you need any money now? Let me know.
Tracey - sorry not to see you and hope to catch up at another time.
Flora x
Hi All
Good to see you all Thursday, but sorry to hear both Sharon’s were ill after. I must admit my prawns didn’t taste of anything either but I was ok. I agree, next door is so much better!
Julie, glad number 3 went ok, shame you had such a long wait though. I had intentions of texting you but was at my Uncle’s funeral all day on Friday and have been shattered since. I think the emotional thing and not sleeping has caught up with my this weekend.
Flora, glad to hear you and Angela are coming to the ball in October. At the moment, I am just making a list and don’t need any money. I think Julie is interested too. When we next meet I will get a list of ‘definites’ and may need to sort out a deposit, I’ll check with my friend that is selling the tickets and let you know. It’d be great to get a table of 10 together wouldn’t it?!
Sharon2, what date are you planning the pink party for? As I said, count me in to help out with whatever I can.
Well it’s the final chemo for me on Tuesday, thank God!!! I am feeling fed up and a bit wacked out by it all now.
Take care all, talk to you soon
Love Helen xx
Hi,
Helen had to say well done that woman. Last one on Tuesday, congrats it seems to have flown by but I know it definitely didn’t!! Be patient the last one can be a bit slower to disappear but at least you don’t have another date waiting for you which is so nice.
Hugs
Lily x
Thanks Lily - it has flown by in a sense but I also feel like my life has taken a bit of a back step and everything has been on hold.
Saw the Prof this morning, all seems to be ok, asked about ‘cancer markers’ and he laughed when I said I’d been chatting with the girls at the support group about markers! Mine are 27.2 and he was pleased with that. I’ve been for a blood test this afternoon and he wanted to include a hormone / oestrogen blood test as I have had my periods all the way through chemo and have had 2 periods in the past 15 days so think things are going a bit haywire - trust me eh!!
This time tomorrow my chemo stretch will have been completed - yipppeeeee!!!
Love & hugs to all, keep well
Helen x
