Aliand are you ???having a big ??? ??
shi xx
? yes I’m much better now. I was celebrating ??? my big poos ? ! The constipation has been hard work to crack this cycle. ???
Today I think I’m winning ?
Don’t worry though. I’ve not left any floaters in the weather ??♂️?
Water not weather. !
Shocked
I use diffkam mouthwash it’s fab and was recommended to me by my bc survivor friend who suffered with ulcers.
And gelclair sachets. Seem to keep mine under control at the moment though T I’m led to believe is more harsh on mouth attack !
Ring your chemo unit for a prescription that where I got mine from. Do not suffer one more minute without something to help xxxxx
Ouch shocked that sounds painful. I’ve had oral thrush every cycle (I’m on TCH) and icky taste, but touch wood no ulcers…yet anyway. Agree with Aliand…Difflam is amazeballs, use 5 / 10 mins before eating and it really helps.
Aliand…congrats on the poo’s lol… your post made me giggle!!! Mines gone the other day thanks to these bloomin antibiotics the hospital gave me…doh!!
Lol, way to go Aliand! ??
Shocked, that doesn’t sound fun. Hope you can get some Difflam like the others have suggested. Thankfully the yuck taste in my mouth seems to be fading. Ooh ooh I can see my “week of something resembling normal” just on the horizon ??
All the best everyone, swim swim xx
Wooo hooo…
before I start Shocked I’m using Aloe toothpaste, touch wood no ulcers yet!!!
Aliand congratulations one of the most beautiful things in life is a great poo!!!
…but (and I don’t want to steal Aliands poo thunder) I got a call today and the FEC is working
Who’d have thought that being told you need 3 more sessions of poison injected into your veins could bring such utter joy!!!
Inflamatory BC biopsy also negative…woo woo back on the chemo train
xxx
Aliand ha ha ha ! Glad you’ve ‘been ‘
Shocked the onc gave me difflam mouthwash and I got difflam spray from the gp , haven’t really suffered so haven’t had to use it as yet , hope you get sorted xx
Had phone call I’m ok for chemo tomorrow ! Yay so excited ( can’t believe excited over chemo ) it means FEC can FEC off !! And I will be halfway there ! Then I will be dreading T xxxxx
???keep swimming ladies but I’d advise keeping your mouth closed ???lol xxxxx
Aliand and jan ladies google Bristol stool chart cakes ??? and look at the photos, always good for a ???when talk goes to ???shi xx
RosieH goodish news you are back on track!
So jealous of the big ?Aliand! I’m still struggling with numb index, middle and ring finger tips, painful ankles, fatigue and the dreaded constipation. Having Lactulose twice daily ???
The other her new SE I am having is floaters… obviously not of the ? kind but visually, especially when looking at the sky… it looks like fireworks going off? Has anyone else experienced this.
Have started on my new compulsive Netflix relay for this round… Californication. Anyone else seen it?
Lots of love xxx
Great news Rosie I can’t wajt til my lump is reducing it hasn’t yet even after 4 EC def a reason to celebrate.
Jamsey good luck today halfway is soooo good.
Starfire not seen californication. Might look it up though I’ve not a lot of patience for tv at the moment. Wait till that T train hits hey ! Due Easter weekend lucky me !
Your SE still sound pants. Hope you’ve rang your unit to check they are ok to tolerate. I use senna to get my ? going lactulose is a softener senna stimulates.
I went out to the ballet last night Matthew Bournes Cinderella it was fabulous. And Matthew Bourne himself was sat in front of us !!
Think I might get the male lead to row the boat for a bit his muscles were amazing. Though he can start off in his airforce uniform
Shi, ha ha - the chocolatiest of cakes! ??
Yeah Starfire, I get those. Sometimes so vivid I think I’ve seen something that isn’t there. Shocked could be right about the dehydration theory, I’ve not been drinking as much as I normally would and I’ve noticed them more. So looking forward to being able to drink water again! Gotta love a Netflix series, I’ve not seen that one but highly recommend The Sinner. I’m currently watching Requiem which is on BBC, I love all things spooky and/or scary.
All the best for today Jamesy, hoping SE’s aren’t too awful for you ???
Starfire…I get a few floaters but eyesight has def gone a bit off track especially for the first week after FEC, didnt happen with T though, Im going to tell the onco tomorrow and about weird coordination issues I had too.
Im currently watching The Good Place…pre warning its about being dead but in a very funny lighthearted way, very easy TV.
Im also sadly watching the first series of Walking Dead again, which I love.
Might have another run through of Breaking Bad too…
Did anyone do Orange is the New Black which is brilliant.
Also reading awesome book at the moment Red Sparrow…trying to get thorugh it so I can go and see the film but it is brilliant.
The ballet…sounds amazing, Ive never been to one but would love too one day. Do you have to dress up? Im fascinated by dancers and how strong they are…
Sorry ladies Im refusing to swim now Im on the raft with Idris and Thor…xx
Jamesey good luck today.
will try drinking more water today as you advise to see how the floaters go!
Yes I liked Requiem on iPlayer. If you like Mulder off the ex files Californication is worth a watch. Be warned it is very saucy and not for everyone. Makes me laugh though at times like these…
i did a Micheal Bourne Cinderella Ballet workshop with my daughter at a festival last year. I sat in a chair and danced along. Really frustrating as I used to be a dancer… We took her to see The Little Mermaid by northern ballet for her 5th birthday. Lovely.
I think it’s common for T to blast the tumour if FEC didn’t Aliand! My friend from the someone like me Service had 60% size reduction on T and none on FEC.
easter will be chocolate free for me as well this year. It’s true that most of our treatment timings have clashed with usual fun times ??
im going to phone the onc ward now as last night I had to take pain killers for my painful throbbing feet. I’m sure it’s Neuropathy.
lots of love xxx
Rosie.
I tried The Good Place the other night… it is very nuts, Flying prawns etc… I couldn’t stop focusing on the fact that the main female lead is Anna from Disney’s Frozen… a film well known in our house.
breaking Bad helped me through the first two… my favourite series of all time I think!
Have a good day x
Rosie go and see a Matthew Bourne. Much easier watch than traditional ballet - though I do love that too. And no you don’t need to dress up. Like any theatre you get some who do and some who go in jeans.
Starfire - so jealous if that workshop. I’ve 2 ballet dancer children one girl one boy. Will have to look out for that.
60% reduction. That’s very reassuring to hear.
Oh god Starfire a dancer…Id have loved to do that. Far too shy as a kid though.
We went to see Thriller at new year and thats all dancing…I was mesmerised.
Going to def look at Matthew Bourne, just did a ticket alert on Ticketmaster.
Has anyone done opera? Would like to try that at least once too…xxx
Dealdoh thank you for your advice but I tried MOVICAL and was blue lighted to hospital due to an allergic reaction. Strange I know (especially as another forum member having had Abraxane chemo had the same reaction recently too) but onc has referred me to an allergy specialist now xx
Direct from onc ward. It’s Peripheral Neuropathy. Got to discuss with consultant next meeting to see if need to reduce the dosage, again! A bag of meds to take home. I’m to keep my eye on the floaters and return if still around in seven days.
Enjoy the rest of the day ladies xxx
Fec 3 done !!! Fec off !! Just eating a piece of cake while I still feel up to it lol xxxxx
