Ok ladies, I have my tough pants on!
Lmfao - Emily, have you been on the pills again? ???
?? I’m going bonkers!! Went shopping today in the sales … bought a pair of size 3 shoes and I’m a 5 … bought 2 pairs of trousers size 16 … I’m a 14 …
Bought a long top which isn’t long … ?? I’m not even sure who I was shopping for!!!
Taking it all back tomorrow ??
Well this morning was emotional again ? … cried as I threw more bras away … recovered fairly quickly and left the house …
Appointment for results day has arrived … 10th Jan
I actually thought it would have been further along than that as it’s been Christmas and we have new year to come
Hope everybody is ok xxxx
Hi Sally Ann I’m no Manchester well not far off chorley nr preston
Shopping was good, thanks Emily. Chemo bag acquired and ‘may’ be reincarnated as gym bag. I did my LCL knee ligament in during May and was only just getting full use back when…yes, well you can guess the rest. So I need that fat busters thread too. I got everything else, plus used a forgotten hobby craft voucher to buy all sorts of things I want, but don’t need. Slightly surprised to find this included a book of silver leaf for gilding! Then walked back through the market (we live in Greenwich) and found beautiful handmade, wax-printed material for scarf/turban thingies at £3.
I’m now drinking champagne as it’s our wedding anniversary. 38 years, which does mean I was literally a child bride.
Slight blight on the afternoon with a CT scan appointment for Wednesday. But I guess it’s going to be better to know.

Wit woo Emily - lovely bra … I’m wearing a comfie at the moment which the hospital gave me … apparently a charity donate them … I’m waiting for an appointment to go to prosthetics where they will fit me with a boob and again give me a bra … ??
Don’t really know what to expect to be honest ?
Emma - I actually went to hospital on my operation day without a bra on … haha … I have only got small boobs (one now) and I wore a jacket so nobody would notice but I thought “what’s the point, it will go in the bin when I get there”
I’m feeling much better this evening and can feel that my mood has lifted again …
xxxxx
Aaah now we’re talking Emily - pockets … you are a gem … wondered about buying bras with pockets!! I was thinking I would have to pay a fortune for pockets … my life is going to be all about pockets!! ?? ? ? ? ?
Thank you Helena - I get fed with myself when I’m miserable ? xxx
Helena - fed up it was meant to say ? Xxx
First post. Is it OK to say that I’m absolutely bloody terrified?! Waiting to get PICC line fitted on Tuesday and I’m needle phobic. Just thinking about it makes me dizzy. If I get through that FEC-T starting on Thursday. So far I know my breast cancer is hormone negative and Her+. 50mm and is under the arm pit too. At 45 I wasn’t expecting to be going through this. Deep breath and small steps ! x
No way Sally Ann…where abouts ?
Love the bra Emily…I hate my morrisons ones they just comfy but ugly x
Scotty 66, I was initially diagnosed with potential DCIS from manmo after finding a lump that I was told was benign. It turns out that I had invasive ductsl carcinoma and also loads of DCIS. Had mx and sentinel node biopsy. LN looked clear on ultrasound. 2 sentinel nodes positive which I wasn’t expecting. I’m 47 and new to all this too. I know exactly how you are feeling. Big hugs xxx
Hi, Scotty. I have the same diagnosis as you. Hormone negative, HER positive. I’m starting chemo on Monday. The NHS has been so disorganised over Christmas* that I haven’t been able to find anyone to agree to put a PICC line in. So it’s a cannula for me this first time. I realise it’s scary, having a PICc line in, but my onc. said it’s a really good option so I’ll be pushing for one after my first chemo. Anyway just wanted to say hello and that I’m thinking of you.

*Yes, I do know the NHS is marvellous, but in my area it’s pretty rubbish when it comes to basic organisation.
Deleted duplicate post. Sorry all.
Pam - my daughter lives whittle le woods … I’m there every Tuesday and Wednesday normally as she goes to work and we have our grandson … my hubby and I stay over on Tuesday nights …
What a small world - haha … we sometimes go into Chorley centre for a walk round …

Scotty66 - hello and welcome … I’ve now met somebody else who is needle phobic!! My word, it’s a bloody toil isn’t it? Every appointment drives me to distraction, I’m so anxious in case there is going to be a bloody needle! The hospital have it written on my notes but some people read it and some don’t … and then I have to explain myself again and look l
Look like a right wally!!
I had a mastectomy last Thursday and so far don’t know what my treatment is going to be … chemo or rads or both …
anyway, it’s almost 3.30am … woke up cos I went to sleep early so going to make a cup of tea and read for a while xxxx
Good morning lovely ladies,
Emily - that is a lovely bra, I’m just wearing my old Doreen bra and they filled one cup with a softie, which has a life of its own.
Helena - has the garden design been something you just haven’t got round to, or is it something that got halted because of all your treatments?
A fat fighters thread is a brilliant idea - I need to lose loads of weight as I have a floating knee cap (the only cure is to have a knee replacement, but at 49 they said I’m too young). If I lost weight it would help me walk better.
Hahaha - Sarah, I think you have officially lost it ???, that’s my sort of shopping trip. Great news on your appointment, is this for the results of your SNB? I was told to give my team a ring in about 5 weeks time and they will fit me for a prosthetic, but they won’t do it while I’ve got a seroma. I didn’t get given a bra at the hospital, but I was told all about the ones with a pocket, so like you my life will be all about pockets from now on.
Emma - mine are Grandma bras & big knickers ??? but they are so comfortable. I’m supposed to be going out in Monday night to the pub to my nieces leaving do (she’s off to Australia) but I don’t feel up to it yet, I feel a bit vulnerable. It’s not that my falsie moves around without me knowing, I don’t know why I feel like this - I just do. We are throwing a winters bbq on Wednesday, so I will see her then.
Ali - I hope you had a lovely anniversary. What is a chemo bag? I am closely following you as I go for my appointment on the 17th to find out when I start my chemo. I’m also researching what foods I need to eat to try and keep my immunity up. Good luck for your scan on Wednesday - I was o.k. up to the night before and then I had a big wobbly, but the ladies on here calmed me down,
KimJane - I’ve been thinking about you - I hope you are o.k.?
Hi Scotty - Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of the ‘how are you doing’ thread.
Strudel, Pam, Patricia, Jane & Jo - how are you doing today?
Mysti & Nicki - is everything o.k. - we would love to hear from you.
