Got our living room back yesterday with new ceiling and new lights, Knackered from redecorating (husband did the ceiling) and putting everything back but lovely not to have a hole (don’t ask) and to have much improved lighting. Best of all to have the sofa back.
Hi ladies, ate far too much last night, all the blood in my body went to my dijestive system. So all mu veins were on strike today…got in at the 6 th try, thats the 4th nurse…they are only allowed to try twice and the first one only wanted to try once…so now have an appt to chat informally about a port o cath.
…i know you will all say things like’go on, its fine’ etc, but I do have a phobia about needles and anaethetists…i know they are excellent at my hospital, but on the day, ill be terrified…silly i know
Barton, yes, thank you for the hat idea, I did have a lively woolly hatin april, but soneone pinched it! My wig looks great, but sooo itchy. Im wearing an elasticated headscarf currently…but will be looking for suitable hats.
so several morals here, dont eat a huge meal the night before a vein chase and also, get an early night…
going home to sleep now in my very hot bedroom

Hi Moijan,what wig did you get ?? I’m stuck on wigs and can’t find anything that looks like me.I had a fear of going in for my Recinstruction years ago but I was shown the Tapping technique ( on acupuncture points) and felt so much better when I went in .maybe Google Tapping &NLP xx
Hi Morgan
Great news about your results. You must be so pleased. I have a portacath and it was the best thing I did. The nurses use it to take blood as well as give chemo; it is so convenient and pain free. As you know, I am now on Cape but am keeping my portacath which just needs a flush once a month.
Regarding wigs, I got rid of mine a few weeks ago and felt so liberated after wearing it for nearly a year. Mine was very itchy to begin with, but then things settled down.
Have a good weekend
George
Typo, should be Moijan
Hi George, yes im sure you are right and afterwards ill feel the same, but the insertion process scares me sillyxxx my wig was through the wig lady at our hosp, I have to pay £60 tho , it would have bern over £100, years ago I got two free ones, but they are a little past their prime.
This wig is a short bob in a ashyblondy colour, but whereas my own style reached round my jaw to my chin, this one is too long, the pointy bits wave about in front of my face a little. However, the wig looks very like my previous style.
debshummingbird…thank you for the advice, I am an nlp practitioner, but keep forgetting to practice it! Also
i do do Eft tapping…I think that may well be useful just before going to the theatre…thank you for reminding me…Moijanx
ps I have used tapping quite a bit just before singing exams and before ringing/visiting a strange belfry, but strangly hadnt thought of using it re the port o cath…thanks again…have just realised it was you who asked anout my wig…its a ‘hot Hair’ wig, but depends on the hospital as to which they deal with.Moijanx
porthacaths are great, there are no restrictions because it goes under the skin, I love mine, makes things so much easier :)
Where is yours placed?
xx
Hi
Mine is placed just above my left breast at first it feels a little funny but now forget it in

Strange there is noone about today so far. Maybe like me, they all have an appointment with a cannula or just out in the sunxx
I’ve just been travelling back from bude …had a full English breakfast overlooking the beach in the sunshine first though.
Back home and to reality again …must arrange something else soon!!
Carolyn xxx
Yes, just got back from chemo. Only two tries today! Am feeling very well and happy just now. How is everyone? The weather has held out so farxx
Yes Carolyn, it’s so nice to get away for a change of scenery. I went to Fort William a couple of weeks ago and am definitely ready for another little break hee hee. I love it, note to self, must book another soon!! Fancy Wales, not as far to travel :smileyvery-happy:
Hello Mara
When I was at cherrybrook for my bone juice last week there was a sign on the wall advertising a secondary bc club monthly with a bc nurse so maybe they have formed some sort of support at last.
Think between this site and our chat girls there is so much more help really. So many helpful ladies with experience.
Hugs Carolyn xxx:relaxed:
Sat here feeling very smug. Looking for something in our big storage cupboard today ending up turning everything out…sorting and tidying and binned a huge black sack of junk.
So job done. …and I know exactly what is in there now …
Just a little thing but boy don’t I feel good.
