Hi Ladies
Well I spoke too soon!
Been admitted to hospital at tea time today with a temperature, white blood count is low so having to stay in & have IV antibiotics. Still having bad bone pain so they will give me a bit of liquid morphine for that ?
Hopefully I’ll get a decent night sleep
Take care

Hi Jude
Poor you!
I was looking at the forum with the intention of replying to the thread this evening…and you pop up!!!
I do hope you’ll have a comfortable night and that the drugs do their work for you. Fingers crossed they’ll let you home in the morning but I guess it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Take care and look after yourself.
Sending love and hugs.

Hi Lisa
Thank you for the hugs and sending warm ones back to you too. You have had quite a journey from what I’ve read farther back in the thread so I hope you’re doing ok and I can only imagine your ‘inflation’. ?Xx
The idea of a ramblers Group is great and I’m sure there would be plenty of ladies interested in your area. I’m a bit far away…we live in France but I love walking too. Hope you get lots of response if you go ahead with your plans. Keep up with the writing (ramblings) too.
Hi Yorkshire Tyke,
Fortunately our weather is still good, expecting around 24 degrees later this week again and, like you, the leaves are looking beautiful here too.?? As Jude said, congratulations on the promotion and I know how you feel when someone else is diagnosed…it takes you back to that time too. Try and keep positive and look after yourself.
Sending love and hugs to everyone.
Love Rosie.xx
Hi Rosie & Lisa
Thanks a lot for your support!
Had a shocking nights sleep (must have been the strange bed), more IV antibiotics this morning & my temp was higher this morning than yesterday so they are not working as yet!
Doctors due round shortly so should know a bit more later
Hope you are both ok
Lots of love

Hi All
Quick update - starting to feel a lot better - white blood count has massively improved, got to have more IV antibiotics tonight & again in the morning then hopefully they will let me go home. Temp is still a bit erratic but should settle by the morning. They might send me home with oral antibiotics & I may have to see the oncologist before my next chemo in case he wants to change anything
Elaine - good to see you are doing ok on tamoxifen, some side effects are obviously better than others!
Take care

There’s no place like home x
Hi Jude
Glad you’re home…you’re so right too. There is no place…! Hope you’ve got you’re feet up and everyone is spoiling you.
I was wondering how you were earlier this evening - it sounded as though it got worse before it improved for you? At least they acted quickly and didn’t take any chances either - a private room doesn’t sound too bad.
You can sleep in your own bed tonight, though.?
All Ok here but I’m afraid the lovely weather we were promised hasn’t materialised yet. The early morning autumn mist has come and decided to stay all day leaving us chilly and grey. It’s crazy when I think we had temperatures of 26 degrees at the end of last week. ?
Take care and look after yourself.
Sending hugs and love.

Hi Lisa
Weather is chilly and grey so let’s put our ramble on hold!!? I’ll let you know when the temperatures are back up to 24 degrees…too much autumn mist around that doesn’t clear during the day.
Hope you’re feeling ok today.
Sending love from France.

Hi Jem
Well done on finishing active treatment ???
You so deserve a lovely holiday - I’m presuming the children are on half term, so you will have a fabulous time - try & relax & don’t overdo it!
The moving on course sounds interesting, I’m sure there are a few useful nuggets to pull from these courses.
I’d booked myself on a look good feel better course for next Tuesday but since my hospital stay I’ve now got to see the oncologist on the same day so will have to change it. I’m not sure what the oncologist is going to say whether he will tweak my treatment? It should be Tuesday 23rd so I’m hoping that it doesn’t get delayed.
I used paracetamol & nurofen for the bone pain as codeine doesn’t really agree with me - although they didn’t work that well!
Have a fab hols
Lots of love

Hi Ladies
Hope everyone is feeling ok this afternoon. The weather is lovely here again in sunny Burgundy - it’s a perfect Autumn day with beautiful sunshine, very still and calm, with temperatures of 24 degrees. Jem, this would be perfect for Audrey…she’d love it and be very well behaved! Congratulations on finishing your treatment and I hope that you’re relaxing and doing just what you want!!!
Jude, just reading your post, it sounds like you’ve had an appointment today, so I hope that’s gone well and they are looking after you. I guess you really want to stay on course for your treatment so that you don’t have any delays; I think you’ll be finished by Christmas then if my calculations are right. Hope the writing is going well still.
Lisa, this is lovely walking (rambling) weather…I managed 8 kilometres on Sunday - have you got any further with making plans for a group?
I hope that everyone is doing well and coping with treatment and se’s.
sending love and hugs from across the channel.

Hi Rosie
Quick update seen the oncologist today, gone through all issues / side effects from last cycle - decision made to keep on track with chemo scheduled dates but reduce the dosage by 20-25% as the effects will be cumulative over the next 2 cycles - hopefully it will all go ok
So fingers crossed I’m still on schedule to finish radiotherapy by 21st December
Hope you are keeping ok
Lots of love

Hi Jude
Great news!!
Sounds like you’ve got a great oncologist there, just as you said!! It sounds a good compromise too and you’ll still be on track for finishing before Christmas!
I’m good thank you; we have an Indian summer here and I’m sat in the garden making the most of it!!! It will be such a shock when the cold weather arrives.?
Take care.
lots of love

Hi Jem
Thanks a lot. I’m hoping this coming week is more normal & side effect free, although I’m blooming tired!
How was your holiday? Hope you really relaxed & enjoyed quality time with the family.
How are you feeling? Is it a little bit strange not been dictated to by appointments? Or are you still having follow ups?
Take care
