I sound like Billy no mates lol , my girls do text and ring every day but they have babies and toddlers so it’s better for them ( and me ! ) to let me get in with it , unless I need them obv xx
Or itching powder aliand ???should work a treat, starfire bit of that in the cycling shorts before he goes on his tour de local lanes, you can sit at home smugly ???at the thought of what kind of ride he’s having ???
Shi xx
You are so funny Shi 
??that has already happened when I asked him to rub my feet once with Capsican cream for my peripheral neuropathy and he didn’t wash his hands afterwards. ???
??? ??Shi xx
Starfire - OMG indeed! It’s like a red flag to a bull, swear he says it just to get a reaction. After our little moment yesterday I had a friend round that evening to see how ideas doing… himself spent most of the time either outside in the garden or answering questions with short sentences… honest they can be as hard as the kids sometimes!!!
The sun is shining and I’m listening to my favourite band Friendly Fires ???
This track came on and thought of us. Great lyrics…perhaps should be our group song.
Lots of love ??

CT harder than kids…def harder!!!
Mines in the spare room as hes got a cold!!
He says he cant moan about it after what Ive been through but apparently he feels too ill to talk!!!
Shi you are funny…Im keeping that one lined up for future use. Maybe a bit of the old itching powder on the golf club handles!!!
Aliand 9 sessions!!! No actual words for that xxx
Just had my number 5. She reduced the dose by 10% because of the hospital stay last time. Was a bit surprised as she told me she was going to keep it the same.
Nice one Palomo ?
Oh Aliand, that’s a bugger. You defo deserve a medal for 9 full chemos, I’ll be doing about that but these weekly ones are only small so doesn’t really count. Actually we all deserve medals really but you and Starfire should get the gold…for your marathon effort and Starfire for all the side effect ? she’s had to wade through to get to the finish line.
Yes, relationships, hmm. My fella has been pretty good, he does quite a bit around the house anyway (groceries, dinners, some cleaning) but there have been a few times that have annoyed me, like he says today do I think I’ll be ok to take our daughter to school tomorrow? Because if he goes in late he finds it hard to get a car park - yeah don’t worry about me!?!
Cinnamon, *Chamomile (25%), *Honeybush, *Lemon Balm (5%), *Valerian Root (5%), Natural Orange Flavouring (5%), *Organically Grown Ingredient,
These are the ingredients in ASDA sleep easy tea , anyone know if your allowed it ?
Jamesey, I really don’t know. I still drink green tea after 1st week and I think someone mentioned that it interferes with chemo. I can’t believe that tea can stop that poison working. Hopefully someone else might know. x
Sorry Jamesy not a clue!!!
I do know that Chemo has broken coffee for me…cant stomach it since FEC
Not a bad thing…thank goodness it wasnt Red Wine!!! xxx
Ladies I can’t drink coffee either now , don’t know about the red wine yet , I havent drunk alcohol since January , ( nutter ) I miss a gin and tonic xx
Was just hoping for something to help me sleep although I mowed the lawn yesterday and have weeded today so I will prob go out like a light tonight ! Loving my good week xx
Hi Jamesy, I’d been using the Pukka night time tea when I was on my good week of EC, I didn’t even think to ask if it was ok to use! Have you tried googling it? Since my change to T I’ve been off tea and alcohol since my taste is constantly off - I hope it comes back ok after treatment ?
I do t think I’d even think twice about it. They offer herbal teas as well as normal tea and coffee in my chemo unit so I’m guessing it would be ok.
My taste is starting to go again.
Current plan full chemo in 2 weeks then maybe just one more which would given me 3 and a half doses of T instead of the planned 4. My onc said they are changing their protocols to 3 & 3 instead of 4&4 which is what most of you seem to be following. It’s quite scary chNging plans isn’t it
Totally cocks up all my surgery dates which I’ve got sorted to be after daughter prom to probably the week before ! Annoying and extra stress
Here’s to a rocky weekend. Think I’m at the top of that slide looking down again Rosie
Aliand do not worry. I’m only having 4 now and he says it’s enough even with reduced doses. The whole thing is a scary ride. The bits were obviously in it for a reason… to help you along. Lots of love x
Again Aliand try not to worry…when they changed mine from 6 to 5 at first I was elated then plunged into worry…
Slide down on your bare bottom!!! Make you go a bit slower xxx
Hey Shocked, yeah I preferred the EC taste over the T taste. Weekly session went ok, they’ve put me back on the steroids so hard to tell about the SE’s yet but I’m feeling ok at the moment ?
aliand ??bit of reassurance on the op front for you, I was at the pictures watching Dunkirk a week after my op. As long as you do your exercises and no lifting of anything heavy and do all you should do post op you’ll be fine in time for your daughters prom, little swollen but fine. You’ve got this darling and you are ?:female_sign:?:female_sign:?:female_sign:?:female_sign:It’s ass ??Shi xx
