Hi Louby and Claire

Hope you are both well and recovered from your ops now. Not seen you on here much recently and just wondering if you are both ok.

Louby hope the infection has gone and you are doing ok, and have sorted out your op. Did you manage to bring forward from December at all?

Claire, hope you are well and all the bruising and swelling has gone down now too.

Love to know how you are both doing, and that everything is going OK for you both, as much as it can be.

Anyway, take care
Lots of Love

Hi Dawn how are you?

Thanks for asking…I am starting to feel better now…just very tired…my op will still be December and went to see gp yesterday and he reassured me that they are looking for a pre cancerous condition…not dcis…but the consultant used dcis as an example…my mistake but still means the same in the end to me…doctor has spoken to my consultant and he agrees I need that time to heal from what has just been done and they are hoping to get clear margins and to minimize the damage so making immediate recon with existing tissue easier…still don’t want it doing but doctor and gp don’t feel it is a choice I have so guess I have to accept it…and at least I will be safer that way as chances of it developing it without the op are still high compared to normal…guess I should be thankful…but I still dont want it done!!

Claire is busy back at work as from yesterday …I will ask her to pop in and say hi if I speak to her later…I know her infection yesterday was alot better…so fingers crossed it is still the same!

I have been checking in and out but there hasn’t been much activity on here everyone is very quiet…would love to know how everyone is doing!

When are you off for your next treatment Dawn? hows the kids? and how are you coping at the mo??? sending you big hugs!! Nice to catch you

Lots of love LJ xxx

Hi Louby

Glad to hear you are ok and that you are OK with the op dates etc. Will be keeping everything crossed for you and hope that after op in December all is OK with you and you will not have to worry anymore, well not as much anyway, if you get what I mean. Understand you don’t want it done as well, but if means it is safer for you to have the op and more chance of not getting bc then it is the best option and you will be OK.

Glad Claire is getting back to normal now, and hopefully enjoying being back at work. Yeah it has seemed really quiet on here recently, and more so without you and Claire keeping up the banter. I admit I have not been on as much in the evenings as watching tv and had a few ups and downs, and generally tired come evening. But try to come on each day and catch up with people. But thought not heard from you two, so thats why wanted to know you are both ok.

Actually got my 3rd FEC chemo tomorrow at 1.30 - did for afternoon, so can pick Sophie up from school, do both their lunches and then drop Sophie at a friends while Grandad puts Jack to bed!!! After tomorrow my treatment changes to Taxotere on 10 Oct, and have read some bad reports on side effects of this one, but keeping everything crossed I don’t suffer to bad, as been ok on FEC.

Kids doing fine, Sophie back at preschool as of yesterday, 5 mornings a week, 9-11.30, but has cried when say goodbye both days so far, hoping this improves. Her best friend back next week from hols, so might help. Jack is his usual boisterous self and doesn’t stop.

Anyway, enough rambling, you probably wished you never asked. We are all doing ok, and am coping quite well, just get some really down days where I worry about what ifs and how hubby would cope etc. Think if didn’t have liver mets, would be easier for me to deal with, but hey ho, just gotta get on with it.

Anyway, you take care of yourself and let me know time to time how you are doing. Say Hi to Claire too for me.

Lots of Love
Dawn

Hello again Dawn…

I don’t wish I hadn’t asked at all!! Out of everyone I wonder most how you are as I know what your facing is very hard and with kids so young I worry how you do it! Evey one gets what ifs …I get them…what if its full blown cancer in December when I return etc etc …it’s never easy and will never be easy again to forget this for any of us will it!!

I am planning a family holiday for the week after my appointment so they will have to wait for me to return before they do it!!! My Dalmatian is expecting pups and we go for her scan on Friday she is 5 weeks then and she is already big!!! I can’t wait! They are due to leave weekend after my appointment in December so hopefully I wont have too much time to think…or worry!

I hope tomorrow goes ok…when do they give you another scan? will be thinking of you tomorrow

Love and hugs LJ xxx

Hiya

Aahhh Dalmation, bet she is gorgeous, whats she called. Wonder how many pups you get, my daughter absolutely loves dogs, but am adamant that we won’t get one, especially now too. Although I love dogs too. She has to just be content with next doors boxer/retriever cross called Henry, and she loves him to pieces. Let me know how the scan goes.

Holiday sounds fab, you go for it. We are thinking of doing a Sandals Beaches next year for 2 weeks all inclusive. Splash out on ourselves as missed our holidays this year now. Where are you planning on going?

Yeah tomorrow should be fine, as FEC still, and so far so good, but shouldn’t get ahead of myself. The onc said last week that would do another ultrasound anytime now, but still not heard anything, so no idea when that will be. But that was only to check lumps in my boobs and see if got smaller, not doing my liver til end of chemo.

Anyway, thanks for chatting, so good to hear from you and ditto, cos I wonder how you and Claire are doing, as you bought so much life to this site with your chatter and fun threads.

Take care and catch up soon
Lots of Love
