Hi everyone
Sorry - just not looked at the forum for a while - been busy getting back into my Podiatry course. Ive had a sore throat and cold too, but it seems to be on it’s way out now. I’m not sure what I’m up to next week, but does anyone fancy meeting up for a meal one evening the week after? Hope you are all managing to get rid of your germs.
Take care
Love Helen x
I would be very interested in joining this group and meeting for coffee or a meal out. I live in Waterlooville. My diagnosis two years ago was 15 mm Stage 3, and I had lumpectomy and rads. An MRI scan three weeks ago found no signs of bc so I have been discharged from Oncology and have been very lucky so far. I don’t know anyone else who has been in my situation and would welcome a chat.
Sorry, I meant Stage 1 Grade 3. Not used to posting.
Hi Helen
Yes in principle - would love to meet for an evening meal. It might depend on where you all decide to go as I have to admit I am still struggling with the journey into Eastleigh and working full time. Rang oncology last week and they said it is normal to still feel tired!
Hi Pauli
Yes I was in a similar situation to you. I had a lumpectomy for a 16 mm cancer followed by a further operation to get a clearer cancer cell free margin followed by 3 weeks of rads. Back at work now but struggling. Mine was a stage or grade 2 if I remember correctly.

Hello, Pauli. It looks as though we will be meeting up next week. I had lumpectomy and WLE but as 1 out of 15 nodes had a trace of cancer they took the lot! I had chemo and rads and have finished now and my hair has grown back though still quite short. I have abandoned the wig as it was auburn and of course I have grown back grey as you like. It would be lovely to meet up, I am in Purbrook so we could go together and with Helen if she is available.
I will send you a personal message with my phone number
All the best, Frances x
P.S I must change my picture
Hi Frances
Have you had a smear since you had bc? Am a little concerned as I had mine last week and results today said no abnormality shown. However they want me to go back after a month of using vaginal oestrogent treatment for a re-smear. Am ringing oncology tomorrow but just wondered if you could throw any light on all this.
Thanks

Sorry, Lynn, don’t know what is going on. I take Letrozole orally and as I am now 64 possibly won’t have any more smear tests but in light of what you are saying will I now need them? I’m now confused, please let me know what they say to you, thanks
Love Frances xx
Hi everyone
Hope you all doing ok. Would anyone like to meet up sometime next week. Maybe Wednesday - daytime or evening? I would be happy to go for coffee or a meal.
Lynn - did you get your smear stuff sorted out? I haven’t heard of vaginal oestrogen treatment (not sure that I want to!!). Hope it’s just something straightforward.
Lots of love
Helen xx
Or maybe next week!! (don’t know how often everyone is looking at this thread now.
Why don’t we make it a definite for next Wednesday pm?
Love Frances xx
Next wednesday is ok for me - afternoon or evening?? Is anyone else able to come?
Love
Helen x
I would prefer evening
Love Frances x
Hi Frances & everyone
Hope you are all busy doing nice things.
An evening is good for me. Does anyone else want to come? I think you mentioned titchfield mill before Frances - that sounds ok - I’m afraid I don’t get out much so don’t know many good places to go. Or we could go somewhere closer to Waterlooville area?
I’m away tommorrow night but I’ll check back on this thread Tuesday.
Love Helen x
Hi ladies
Thanks for pm Frances.
Won’t be able to do tomorrow night but hope to make it next time although things are a bit rocky at the moment. I have been having trouble with my hip and pelvis and it appears that there is a growth on my left hip (which even I can see on the x-ray) so they are giving me radiotherapy for this and another bone and ct scan to see if there is any other progression in my secondaries. They have a feeling that the letrozole tablets are not working so they might have to try something else but will know more once the scans are done.
Keep your fingers crossed that it will be good news and I hope that we can get together again soon. Hope everyone else is keeping ok.

Hi Liz
Hope the rads manage to scare the bad stuff away. Keeping everything crossed for you and hope to see you soon.
Hugs
Helen xx
Hello, Liz
Sorry to hear your news but as Helen says hopefully the rads will zap it. If you feel in need of home visitors let us know. I didn’t check this forum, only my private messages so Helen will think I have flipped. We haven’t met up again so you haven’t missed anything ( not that we are exciting but it is nice) Lots and lots of good wishes, now that I feel more back to normal I wish even more that you were too.
Love Frances xx
Don’t worry Frances - flipped long ago!!
Liz hope we can sort something out to meet up when you feeling ok. I could come and pick you up if that makes it any easier.
Lynn are you getting any more energetic? Hope work going ok.
Love to everyone

Hello, Helen (sent you a pm) Liz, Pauline and Lynn
Have a lovely Christmas and hope to meet up in 2012
