Yay Shi, you’re on the rads treadmill now! Wahoo! ???
Alibobs, I’ve given up trying to work out what I should and shouldn’t eat. The latest advice seems to be that we aren’t safe eating anything at all! I’m going to try and go with a healthy balanced diet with a wide variety of foods but will be cutting down on the sugar after rads. My meals are fairly healthy anyway as I always cook from scratch so don’t eat that many things that are really processed (everything is processed to a certain extent) it’s just the ?I eat in between that’s the problem.
Sweet stall even, my spelling is getting worse. It was alright through chemo so I will have to blame Rads!
Alibobs - I’m another one who is watching what I eat and drink with the occasional treat. I’ve been given a second chance at life and that I owe it to myself and my family to stay healthy. Its actually been much easier than I thought it would be and I don’t feel like I am being deprived - amazing how motivated you can be.
Day 4/20 of radiotherapy and so far its going ok - all my slots are in the afternoon which means working in the morning before going to hospital and then home to rest a bit. I have been to the gym a couple of times - this probably won’t last after a few more appointments…
Runnerbean ???I thought it was some kind of local slang for something and I was being dim ??? yes I had a massive change in diet after diagnosis, that went out the window during chemo as just needed to get through chemo, now back on healthy with odd treat and need to look ok at cutting carbs back too as lots of things convert to sugar too ??my friend who is a bc survivor and told me about the black cumin seed oil also has told me about squeezing half a lemon in warm water and putting teaspoon of honey in and havingbone of those a day too, has anyone else heard this? ??shi xx
Now back from 4th rads session. OH drove me today which I’m grateful for as I don’t like driving on the rural roads in the dark much since chemo, which I think has definitely affected my eyes. Hopefully they’ll revert soon.
Hi everyone number 6 done today so down yo single figures now! Yay!! Boob looking a little pinkish!! Slapping on the radiance cream first thing in the morning, straight after treatment and at night before bed! My machine was bring serviced today so had to use another!! Felt weird being in a different area if the hospital!! As for the diet thing I agree we owe it to ourselves and our family to be the healthiest we can bug we need to live a little too!! I’ve cut out all sweet things, cut down on the booze (Not that I drank a lot anyway). Try to prepare all meals from fresh and using more fresh fruit, veg and red meat only once a week! Also changed to almond milk. I’ve been told about the lemon water but with a teaspoon of bi-carb so have that everyday. Also turmeric and black pepper in virgin olive oil! Yes Helena I am on anastrozole tablets and my Prescriptions were free already S I am over 60! Every cloud!!! Lol!!! Xx
Sorry to.hear about your partner’s illness Helena. I know from personal experience how difficult things can be when you have to try to hold Everyone and everything together! My hubby suffered with polymyalgia rheumatica for a few years bless him. He then managed to stop his meds and is now in remission. Only now he’s having to deal with my shiz!!! Ah well in sickness and in health as they say!!! ? xxx
Nearly there,day 13 completed today.
Boob definitely looking more pink and sore today.
Getting to know the other faces in the waiting room now…so it’s quite friendly and welcoming now.

Well done themadwife ?? forgot to mention yesterday you should be able to get the parking at your trusts for £1 a time during ??you get a special parking ticket from the ??receptionists are you all aware of this? ???Good luck everyone with your ??today ???shi xx
Morning Ladies ???
I don’t pay pay for parking at my trust either just have to get ticket validated by receptionist. Day 4 today but then 2 days off. Monday busy day with ultrasound and then rads so will prob be hangry by the time I get rads. Good luck everyone today xx
Morning ladies, day 5 for me today. Boob feels a bit odd today. Not sore or painful as such just feels a bit heavy and tight. At least I have the weekend for it to recover a bit. We don’t pay for parking here either. I got a slip from the onc which I took to patient liaison and they give you 3 months free parking at at all the hospitals in the area which is good as I use 3 different ones for my appointments. Hope you all have a good day and get in and out of the Rads quickly xx
???my trust are raking it in then a £1 a session is cheap, alternative is a week ticket at £11 or a month ticket at £25… as long as it’s going back into the hospital to cover treatments for the whole hospital I don’t mind, 2nd one 
has anyone else’s boob felt a bit firmer? Hope everyone’s ??gone well today, meesh are you having a ?at the ???shi xx
5 rads done for me today too! Scar round nipple feels a bit sensitive. Was in and out fairly quick and on our way home now. I’m getting fed up already too with the trekking backwards & forwards to the hospital daily!
Shi, yes ? ? at the ?for me! They were playing bit of blame it on the boogie when having rads today. Did you tell them I needed a bit of disco? Was tempted to ???
Just airing boob and I’ve noticed that it’s a little swollen. They did say that might happen, I wonder if that’s why scar on nipple is sensitive.?
Shi, I have a new emergency phone number for rads! OH was ?theyll wish they’d never given you that! ???Don’t think I’ll need it but you never know!
Meesh, I think in one of the booklets it says things can go a bit mid shaped doesn’t it? ???right there with you about the number ??at planning out came the notepad and 100 pre prepared questions ???just for a change ???I asked them to play stand and deliver Adam and the ants as ?:airplane:Needed a bit of ??from you again, first carriage from the nov ?is in already now and our jencat is in the
