Hi, ladies

I’ve just seen that there’s an information session on lymphoedema at the St Thomas Centre in Ardwick Green, Manchester, in November. I’ve just booked on it. Can’t remember the date though so I’ll have to go back and check. Think it’s the 2nd. Chemo brain! Hope to see some of you there :slight_smile:

Good luck to us all.

Hi – will look for this on the BCC events list and try to get there. I worked at (and love) the St Thomas Centre, and look forward to meeting you, Maureen!

I sent an email to say I would like to attend that session but as yet I’ve not heard anything

Oh, it’ll be grand that we’ll meet each other, Marilyn and Chukki :slight_smile:

Aroma, where are you from? Sorry to hear your arm’s bad at the moment. Can you phone the clinic, be pushy and say you’ve GOT to see someone STRAIGHTAWAY???

I’m giving myself a few days off the exercises. Not sure they really help, to be honest, but after my rest I’ll continue with them and then make a further appointment to be measured and see if it’s up or down. We had the grandchildren overnight on Sat and it was difficult for me to lift the 18-month, what with bone mets in spine and ribs, and this gammy arm which has been pinned.

Good luck to us all.

Thanks Ann, I rather suspect why I’ve not heard anything is because it is still early days for this - its not taking place until November, but I’ll phone anyway
