Positive and fast mending thoughts for you Kip, and I too hope you are at the top of the list for the day.
Wishing you all the best, and we’ll see you after your visit to the twilight zone . . . . x
@Feenix I’m not seeing any of the monthly surgery threads either. Bummer, as I have been trawling them for tips and guidance as I plan for my surgery planningn meeting in early December. Hopefully, they will return for us.
I also can’t see any monthly surgery threads either.
I can’t currently see May 2018 Surgery thread !! That’s a fragment of my life in there !! Mwaah !! I’ve finally become invisible !!!
Sorry, not hijacking his thread but I feel cast adrift without the surgery threads. They were a huge support. Does anyone know why they’ve disappeared? In the meantime, best wishes to all who are about to have surgery x
I’m at the launderette and can’t find a “report forum problem” on the mobile site. Did post a thread in the “Contact the team” forum, however.
Yhats weird i i c still see the may surgery thread but cant reply to anything as its greyed out! Whats happened?
I’ve just comemon here to wish you luck for tom Kip, I thought it was just me having probs with it. I wrote a really long post earlier and lost the lot, so frustrating!
Just want to say good luck tomorrow Kip, I know you’re nervous but a wise lady said to me a couple of months ago “you’ve done chemo, this is the easy part’ and you were right!
Hopefully the May surgery thread will be ok tomorrow xx
Hi kip, don’t know if this will help darling, I did google my operation and watched a video before mine, found it calmed me to know what was actually going on while I was under, if that’s not the case for you, then no googling. Take it steady after op, no heavy lifting, hooveringvor anything like that, give yourself chance to knit back together. My surgeon had me wash in hibiscrub before and for weeks after op and it worked well. It’s ok to feel ?but please trust your surgeon you can do this darling, after chemo it is lemon squeeze promise ???you’ll be ???Gangam style with the rest of us before you know it 
Darling ???

Evening lovelies,
I am on my 4th day of first 75% taxatere. So far the S E’s are a bit different to those on FEC.
I have excruciating knee and other joints. Have had to use codeine with nurofen to get to sleep for 2 nights now. First 2 days had a redenned face too so took piriton. Also have lost appetite, and a fruit pastille lolly I tried to take, tasted like salt water. Feel slightly nauseous when I look at any food in my fridge. Skin on my left hand seems to be peeling off on my palm between 2 fingers.
so have come to bed early with sore throat, codeine, nurofen, cyclizine and white count injection, plus using polybalm ointment on my nails - Reddi, how did you say you were doing on this? I hope I am going to have enough! There doesn’t seem to be that much in the tubes… Have had some pain in one of my finger nails so rubbed in the cream a little more thoroughly this time.
All the the best everyone on June and August threads, where I tend to hang out.
Kip I especially will be thinking of your op tomorrow.
Be kind to yourself and take all the pampering u are offered!
Everyone else, lets all be here for one another - we are a great bunch of girls on a tough mission and between us we can all get through together ???

Good luck today, Kip!
Good luck for today Kip, thinking of you ? xxx
Good luck! Had my TM yesterday.
Linda from May chemo thread x
Cdc sorry to hear about your experience yesterday. Could you go private if need be as my experience was the opposite?
Op went well. Am on way home now with results on 1st November. Have a bigger scar than i thought at the side but thats necessary sometimes. He said the 2 xrays they did whilst asleep were compared to the mammogram and he thinks he got it all. X
Hello ladies… Im back!! Well what a pleasant experience. Was first on list… My prayers were answered so in op at 9, baxk kn ward at 10.30 eating toast and the best cuppa ever! Sent home at 2.30 now sag on sofa eating stollen cake… Seems even anaesthetic cant stop my eating. I saw a lovely surgeon, lovely nurses and made experience much nicer. Hardly any pajn at moment but ask me agsjn tomorrow might be a different story. Had level 2 clearance in end, they said theh wiikd do whatever they could get to easily, opened same scar but have the dreaded drain! So another step forward just got to wait 2 weeks for results.
CDC, what a nightmare you have had, ao sorry its made decision even harder, but definately seek a 3rd opinion if you need. I often think that if these professionals had walked one week in Our shoes how different they would treat us. One of the guys looking after me in theatre obviously knew why i was in and said “ive walked your journey, had the same hairstyle and isnt chemo crap”.turns out he had bowel cancer and is all better now… Was lovely and reassuring to see him doing his job again and he was so kind, only those in this boat truly know. Stick to your guns and dont be put off by that idiot! Hope numble behaves too.
Ljnda glad you are doing ok, well done.
Thank you all for uour good wishes, i really appreciated them, i cried all way to theatre!
Kip

Hi Ladies. Greetings from sunny Aberystwyth ?. Having a lovely break, seeing my son, very gentle walks etc. If you found my fb page previously you can see the pics.
Glad it has all gone well for you Kip.
I have really struggled with SEs this round. It is three weeks tomorrow and I’m still not firing on all cylinders. More than anything else I am exhausted. I walked about a mile on flat ground yesterday and it finished me off!!! OH has gone for a cycle. I am reading a book!!!
Love to all Kxxxx
Kip ???Well done lovely Take it steady and you’ll get that drain out within a few days ???ktk enjoy yourself Nice walks and ???Shi xx
Hello all
Question for you. I’m between my 4th and 5th cycles of EC and over the last week or so I’ve noticed that the hair on my head appears to be coming back. Has anyone else noticed this at the same point in treatment? Just wondering if it’s a blip or if I can expect it to continue?
Thanks in anticipation
