Oh glad it went smoothly for you Francine. Now do what hubby says n chill a bit. Yes I have osteoporosis that showed up in dexa. On supplements but don’t want to take bone builder they gave me. Lots of bad reports. X
Is it the calcium supp you’re not taking then? I’ll have to do a bit of research. Barry, best thing for Nikki is just enough rest and good diet. I was told that the body consumes a lot of calories in the healing process so it’s important to feed it up. Little and often works well for me and what you fancy! Everyone heals at a different rate, all in the genes, so don’t get too down if you both think things should be further on than they are. I’ve had to learn extreme patience over the last 8 months believe me! X Francine
I’m feeding her up on eggs , chicken n tuna at the moment. With a gingerbread man (that her mum made her) as a treat

Francine, delighted to hear your home and battling on x You made me laugh when you said hubby was going to tie you to the chair!.. never mind fifty shades of grey, more like several shades of red and pink with a slodge of blue left over! thats my bloob after rads anyway
Sheena xx
Funny Sheena x Francine taking the calcium vit D supplement but they want me to take bone builder once a week which I’m not happy with. Also one onc wants me to swap to tamoxifen as it’s not as bad on bones but other onc says stay on letrozole. dilemma! X
When is your op Amanda?
What are you having done Amanda?
Amanda the wait can’t be nice, but you seem fairly calm about it all which is good. I still have moments of fears for Nikki, who we’ve been told because of her age will need chemotherapy and tamoxifen regardless of the results of her full node biopsy.
I’ve thought this would be the best time to try and grow a beard, but it just looks scruffy and dirty! x
June I’m similar to you. Menopause done and dusted by 42 never took Hrt though. I hate the sound of the bone drug and have read it makes bad quality bone and also blocks own bodies repair system at same time. Know a woman who has been on it years and never out of plaster she’s broken so many bones! And they have all kind of snapped clean so the Dr says because of the tablet! I’m full osteoporosis the dexa scan says so I guess I should swap to tamoxifen as one onc suggests though other says letrozole works better than tamoxifen in keeping cancer away…also tamoxifen can cause overian cancer…what a choice! Going to take my time deciding…exercise when I’m over s.e of rads and take suppliments they prescribed. Exercise can repair the bone apparently. What have you heard about taking vit D? Not more good news lol x
Francine what a strong lady you are! You so deserve this time to get your clear margins and be able to put this year behind you, wishing you a speedy recovery and will be keeping every thing crossed for you Xx jo
Morning ladies, I say stay strong to all of you. The tears and fears don’t stop, they are still lurking in the background but just don’t arise so often. I’m sure everyone will fight it and put our faith in the doctors x
Hardly any fluid is being drained, so fingers crossed the nurse will remove it tomorrow. Hopefully she’ll find sleeping and moving around a little easier x
Nikki had a tear or two this morning, saying she can’t wait to make me smile again Bless her x
Has anyone been recommended adding turmeric to their diet? We’ve heard it helps kill cancer cells, but wasn’t sure if it’s bad for oestrogen receptive bc x
Fed up lost my young brother in February to heart attack only 52. My other brother has bowel cancer and I’ve just been diagnosed BC and its raining cats and dogs. Appointment tm after MRI. Hopefully something will start moving soon. X
I hope things improve for you Turnercat x
Barry I’m on turmeric too …don’t know if it’s safe to take but not seen it listed to avoid. X
Cat that is all too much. Good God you are being tested bless you. X x
Nikki’s friend recommends it and she works in pathology. She recommended turmeric and broccoli soup each day x
I got capsules from Holland and barret. Been good reports on it x
How are you doing today Sarah,hope you are managing to keep your spirits up and managing to eat some Ben and Jerry’s as well as the rice pudding,ginger beer and sprouts…
