Hi Girls
Checking in. Looks like CT is having the craziness this weekend ?
Starfire delighted you got such a cute mother’s day card and gift from a cute mini me. ? OH off the hook for now ?? Feel sorry for him over the dog ? well a bit anyway
I’ve taken antihistamine with my filgrastim this time ?and it’s made a big difference to my aching muscles. ?? I’m still a bit wiped out but lots better from last cycle. I’m keeping that one up.
Mother’s Day was cooking dinner, ironing clothes and organising homework. Typical day for a Mum really.
Let’s go kick some crappy cells this week girls ??♂️??♂️??♂️

What number are you now Aliand?
Got a stunning necklace from my daughter for Mothers Day…It has some little tiny round bits on it and some longer silver bits…Turns out its morse code for Be Strong. Its so pretty and delicate and full of meaning.
Ended up having a lovely Mothers Day with a long FT to Barcelona where I met my sons lovely new girlfriend through the power of technology, shes sweedish and they looked so happy. Then posh meal with my daughter where we chatted and laughed over lovely food…started the day blue and finished it feeling very lucky xxx
Ct are you feeling better? xx
Hello everyone, Day 6 Cycle 3 Hope you are having a good day?
i have a new side effect today which involves my fore and middle finger tips. Burning and numbness. Has anyone else experienced this?
Lots of love xxx
Hi starfire, as shocked has said, please let your team know about your fingers, they need to assess so there is no permanent damage. Your photo of Thor for your lady rafts worked we’ve had rain on biblical scale today ???shi xx
Hi my lovelies, yup feeling a load better today thankyou. Still on antibiotics but flu swab came back negative so no tamiflu anymore thank goodness. Seeing ONC tomorrow so need to see what they wanna do 're timings for cycle 4. Don’t really wanna delay it if I can avoid it - guess it depends on what bloods are doing
Have decided once im done with chemo I’m gonna throw an “I kicked chemo’s butt party” ! Where everyone including the blokes have to wear something pink!! Found a very cool pink wig to wear lol. I’m finding it useful to have things to look forward too. Found out yesterday my bestie has booked tickets for us to go see our fav band when they tour the UK in September… super excited.
Me and my hubby still aren’t doing to great, I’m reading some of your chaps are struggling too. Don’t think mind would agree to therapy, but may ask once I finally get my apt through.
Hello ladies,
I’ve been keeping up with everyone’s posts, just had no brain to compose any kind of a reply until now.
It’s cycle 3 day 7 for me and I’m not feeling great. It’s the horrible taste that’s troubling me, been worst this time around. I’ve finished EC now and wondered of those that have had T if it carries on?
Not much swimming going on here, just paddling ?? xx
Crazytimes, has your oh been to chemo with you? I ask because my oh came with me and because he was able to talk to other ladies oh’s ‘man to man’ it really helped him to get his head round things in a mans way. It’s hard for them because they are used to fixing everything and suddenly they too are facing something that is out of their hands just as much as us. ??shi xx
Mai7 thank you. I was just this minute having a good old cry and your blog took my mind off it for the best.

Morning ladies…read this
WOMAN. . . . . . . . .
When God created woman he was working late on the 6th day…
An angel came by and asked." Why spend so much time on her?"
The lord answered. “Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape her?”
She must function on all kinds of situations,
She must be able to embrace several kids at the same time,
Have a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart,
She must do all this with only two hands,"
She cures herself when sick and can work 18 hours a day"
THE ANGEL was impressed" Just two hands…impossible!
And this is the standard model?"
The Angel came closer and touched the woman"
“But you have made her so soft, Lord”.
“She is soft”, said the Lord,
“But I have made her strong. You can’t imagine what she can endure and overcome”
“Can she think?” The Angel asked…
The Lord answered. “Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate”
The Angel touched her cheeks…
“Lord, it seems this creation is leaking! You have put too many burdens on her”
“She is not leaking…it is a tear” The Lord corrected the Angel…
“What’s it for?” Asked the Angel… .
The Lord said. “Tears are her way of expressing her grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride.”…
This made a big impression on the Angel,
“Lord, you are a genius. You thought of everything.
A woman is indeed marvellous”
Lord said."Indeed she is.
She has strength that amazes a man.
She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.
She holds happiness, love and opinions.
She smiles when she feels like screaming.
She sings when she feels like crying, cries when happy and laughs when afraid.
She fights for what she believes in.
Her love is unconditional.
Her heart is broken when a next-of-kin or a friend dies but she finds strength to get on with life"
The Angel asked: So she is a perfect being?
The lord replied: No. She has just one drawback
“She often forgets what she is worth”.
No delays for me Yay! All results Ok and feeling sooo much better. Onc happy to proceed as planned. I did giggle at myself for being happy that I’m still going to feel like poo next week lol!
Shi - no he won’t come with me. He came to the unit to look aroubdxwhen I was first informed I needed chemo and said that he couldn’t face coming - so I go on my own, with my portable DVD player and Harry potter books to keep me company
Rosie H, beautiful thanks for sharing i’ll Spread the word ??shi xx
Thanks Shocked, yes I am feeling marginally better today. I’m worried tho if the taste problem gets worse with every cycle? Really not looking forward to any more ?
All the best with your next cycle CT ?
That’s awesome Rosie, love it! ?
X ? X
Fab news CT , had my bloods today to see if my count is up ready for Thursday , I’m hoping so too so I can say fec off to fec , it will be crap if I have to deviate from my plan !!!
Starfire, glad to help out. The chemo train is a tough ride at times. As you approach half way you feel you’ve lost who you were and can’t quite see the end either. Hang in there, you’ll get through it. Xxxx
Shocked, sending hugs. I suffered a lot with my mouth. Sore, couldn’t taste or everything tasted horrid, even water. Try having warm drinks as these are easier when you can’t taste and you need to keep hydrated. I found cold drinks hard to tolerate, possibly due to oversensitive mouth. Xxx
CT I go on my own too. DH has poor tolerance for sitting around though I know if I asked him he would come. It really doesn’t bother me. I know what you mean about being pleased that it’s all going ahead. I totally dread delays.
Rosie the person that wrote that poem knows me. All the housework still falls to me and the majority of the kids taxi service. DH just hasn’t the time to do much.
Starfire hows the numbness. When I got carpel tunnel it started in the middle fingers.
ThNks to whoever said stop antihistamine e at 5. I’ll stop and hope tomorrow is ok too.
I’ve had a lovely delivery of cards fliers chocks and Mext gift voucher today from the Mims at my kids dance classes. I’m really touched as I do t know them all that well. It’s finny how you can be surprised by the kindness of people you don’t know all that well.
Watching celebratory bake off now, don’t think I can tolerate the cancer stories on it though in case they are not positive. ?
CT yay you’re ready…that’s good news…
I’m still waiting for my decision…if I’m staying on the chemo train I’ve been moved back to Monday…which means treat weekend, apart from the fact I’m considering fasting ?..
Any ladies that go alone just remember we are all there with you…xxx
Crazytimes, big 
And extra for you and big hug too, sorry your oh being a ? hope he gets a ???to knock some sense into him, do you want us to send Karana round?
