February 2018 Radiotherapy

Ahh just noticed you saw Erasure ? you lucky thing i love tvem couldn’t get tickets for Newcastle as i was in hospital and sold out by i got home you lucky thing!!!
Hope you all doing well i finished in Jan and fine now just a little tired from all of the treatment but rads really fine ladies ??? keep going ?

Thanks Mishy, good to hear you’re doing ok and beginning to recover now from all the treatment. How’s your hair coming along. I bought the lush bar but haven’t used it yet.

Off for number 5 today!! Seems to be going quick!! Managed a body pump class st my gym last night. Felt good! The hospital gave me the green light to go to the gym if I felt up to it. Trying to walk for st least 30 mins a day too. Don’t know how I’ll cope going back to work!! Not thinking of doing that for a while yet anyway. Good luck with your on going treatments everyone xxx

Ps Happy Valentine’s Day???. Woke up to gorgeous red roses and card from my lovely hubby!! We’ve decided to throw caution to the wind and have …fish and chips for tea!!! Lol!!! Not in the approved diet list for us special ladies but hey it’s a special occasion???

I have a pixie now Meesh ? very short but stil its there hasn’t taken that long really its still very grey!!! Think its curly or very wavy ill take that as i like curly hair also very thick, i didn’t shave mine like sone recommended i just let it come in, I’m pleased you are managing your rads its much better than chemo isn’t it ? just look after your skin keep airing booby after usely first 6 or 7 it helps to go braless all the time bit for now in the house should be ok oh and sleep on the othher side too!!! I was told not to siak in the bath off my team Meesh x

Thanks mishy

Good news about your hair! I’m hoping my thinning top will fill in soon. I am going braless from the beginning, first day at work without one. I have a scarf on too so people won’t see sagging jiggly boobies through my clothes! Will go topless at home in the evenings for a bit if it’s warm enough.

Good luck Karen, hope it goes ok.

Alibobs is there a special diet list for rads? I only had one for chemo but onc told me I can eat normally now. She is really rubbish though so probably not right advice! ?

That’s me cooked ? all in all the 15 sessions went quite quickly. I’m glad there’s no more travelling, that really was the worst bit.

ive now got a pinkish right boob but lots of prickly heat ?

Normally when I get this on holiday I use body scrub, but not this time …

Sticking with keeping it cool and using E45. Any other remedies greatly accepted ??

Next steps 6 week review with research radiologist and 12 week review with oncologist 

 

 

Hi meesh! I was meaning the optimum diet for hormone positive BC. Certain things as are not supposed to eat as they encourage oestrogen! Drive yourself crazy with it though!!! Congratulations Brumann, did you ring the bells? Hope the after effects soon disperse! Can’t wait till I’m fully cooked too!!! 10 more to go!! X

Hi ladies, that’s the 3rd one done. I think she forgot to tell me I could breathe again today and I couldn’t hold it any longer so I did anyway. Roma I see your doing the breath hold as well are you finding it ok? Well done Brumman, did you ring the bell? I have a slight heavy feeling already mainly around my scar so I’m hoping it doesn’t get much worse. Hope everyone is doing ok. We are knocking them off one by one xx

Karana hope your 1st ??has gone well today ??Brumann ???well done you ???bit of finally on the ??Sunbed shop for you ??my 1st one tomorrow ??bit of like a virgin for the jukebox tomorrow then ???:sparkles::sparkles:shi xx

I’m using the radiance gel too. I read great things about it. Although it is quite expensive!

Evening ladies!

 

Well done Brumman, hope you rung that ???loud and proud and ???all the way out! Hope the pinkness settles soon. Although I was told the colour can continue to deepen for 14 days after so keep moisturising!

 

Well done ladies on rads today we’re ticking them off! I also done my 3rd today had 40 min delay and then they couldn’t line me up so had 2 attempts again. Finally got home at 6:40 so a long day for me. Now sitting with moisturised boobie out and definitely Meesh McOneNippyNipple tonight as no ? 

 

Shi, good luck for tomorrow!

 

Karen, how did you get on today?

Thank you all for your good wishes 

Unfortunately the dept didn’t have a bell but I certainly rang the one at home ?

Thankfully our lounge is at the back of the house, blinds are down and boob out getting cooled down, hopefully no visitors ??

 

good luck to everyone going through this process, it’s not great but worth every minute to get rid of those nasty cells

Karen, hope it goes well for you and you don’t get stuck in too much traffic. Mine’s at 5:30 today so should get parked ok and hopefully not too much delay as it’s usually quiet in there at that time! Great tune in ???sunbed lounge this morning I’m ???but won’t get that out of my head all day now! ?

???sing to the Amarillo tune that karanas posted, on a winters morning, got our rads ??and a new day dawning, this is the way to being all clear, this is the way to being all clear, and keep on creaming till we’re there ???:sparkles::sparkles:shi xx

20 seconds is the longest they say I have to hold my breath for but like you say Roma it feels more like 10 minutes. Only have to do it 4 times though and 2 of them are only about 10 seconds. Good luck for today Shi with your first one and another one knocked off the list for the rest of us xx

Yes, ladies all aboard the rads ? tops are optional ???

What sort of hospital has a seeet stall out! I’m trying my best to resist ?
