Hi Alibobs, I had my op beginning of August so my blue splodge has gone now but it did take a while. The odd pain is normal I think. A lot of us had aches and pains in boob through chemo and I asked about it and was told that’s normal. Whilst it healed on the outside it takes ages to heal on the inside. I still get the odd twinge in mine and I also have a darker patch of skin where the tumour was. Hope your rads goes ahead and your cold clears up soon.
How about a bit of madonna’s into the groove in the sunbed ??lounge this morning to get us all ???We’ll be getting into the groove daily for rads when they position us ???
Today is number 4 and I’ve conquered the pit pong! Pit stick first and then E45 - It’s all about the base (keeping the song theme going) - So far I’m feeling good (que big Nina Simone opening). Managed to get out with friends last night but did leave my spidey costume at home ?
So I’ve survived number 1 of 15!! Spent most of the time sitting in the waiting room as they were running 45 minutes late!! Actual process lasted less than 5 minutes!!. Slapped on some ‘radiance’ cream after. Can feel a slight warmth in my boob!! Oh and managed not to sneeze or cough!!!
Spider woman, that’s exactly what I’ve been doing putting on the pit Rock and then e45. I start Monday so trying to get boob and armpit nicely moisturised in preparation. Great tune!
Alibobs, well done on first one only 14 more fir you to go!
Hi ladies, I was due to start radiotherapy tomorrow but hospital called this morning and asked which hospital I was going to and when I said not the one I expected they said there had been a mix up and I was booked into the wrong one. Doesn’t make much difference to me only about 5 minutes travelling but they have booked me back into my original choice but can’t start till Monday now.
Hi ladies had number 2 Today!!! Lol!! Was very quick this Time!! That’s it till Monday so just sat with feet up. No ill effects so far but appreciate its early days! Work is being a pain though! They now want to see report from onco! Make you feel as if you are lying!!? can do without them stressing me out!!
Can’t wait for my moogoo Karana!! How were your tattoos? Mine were barely visible! Gosh I don’t know how you manage to run a pub and get through all this stuff too! My youngest Son is in the pub game too do I appreciate how much hard work it is!!
Alibobs, the moogoo stuff is lovely. That’s terrible that your work requires that, can they actually ask for that? I’d be tempted to just get the Dr to sign me off for the duration! My work have been great though and have said I can more or less do what I want.
I can barely see my tattoos also. I have heard people have them removed after or get them changed into something else, but to be honest I don’t see the point when you need a magnifying glass to find them ?
2 if my tattoos are pin prick dots so not worried about them. The third is quite a lot bigger but still only looks like a freckle unless you get close so I can’t see the point in getting them covered. My bikini days are gone anyway so they will never be on show xx
Sorry I probably didn’t make myself clear! I am actually on sick leave. I decided to give myself 100 percent to get over everything including the treatment time. That’s why work want the report even though my gp has signed me off work and is fully supportive of my reasons. I have worked for 18 years on the same company and have only taken time off previously when I lost my parents. U am entitled to full pay for 6 months and I intend yo make use of it! My job is in probate banking which is both stressful and can be highly emotive too!! I’m not worrying ladies. Don’t think they can argue with cancer!!!
Hi they did a home visit less than 4 week after my op. Wasn’t happy about that either. Felt they just came to have a nosey where I live! They have all the info from my gp as I had to consent to that too. I know how little they value their staff having seen how they operate over the years small cogs in big wheels! Unfortunately for me it’s too late for me to move on. Was hoping to retire thus year but our pension age has been raised?. Only work part-time but need that income.
Hi alibobs sorry that you are having ? from your employer, you know what to do when you return to work, start on the dot, leave on the dot, take your full break times and no additional helping out or staying a minute over, it works both ways remember. ??meesh how about a bit of Hawaii 5 0 theme tune for the ???Sunbed shop as some of us ???Oct ?are starting ???shi xx
Spider woman, that’s good to hear. I hope the treatment treats you kindly too. On the jukebox this mornings no in the ??Sunbed lounge is take that’s “it only takes a minute” or maybe just a bit longer for our rads treatment! Keep ???Ladies!
???go meesh, go meesh, go meesh ???good luck to everyone starting today and we’ll done ???ladies ticking your sessions off now ???great tune meesh ??shi xx
