Just diagnosed and wanting to talk to people who understand

Very good!! X

When do you go to Oncoligist Ange?

Hi Jill, tomorrow afternoon. But scary but once I know what is happening I can deal with it. Think you have probably guessed that I like to information. How are you? Are you having your rads in the morning?? Xx

I like information too, like to know exactly what to expect good and bad.I have been going every day at 9 ish,only there a few minutes but as they only do radiotherapy at certain hospitals most people have to travel some distance,it is a 50 mile round trip for me.Will be glad to finish Friday,may even have a diet coke or 2 to celebrate,may even put some vodka in it!!!

Haha Jil, I think a vodka to celebrate your last rads would be in order. Not long for you to go now :slight_smile:

Ange, did they tell you to keep your compression socks on? Noone told Nikki to and they’ve been off for a week and a half now x

Never drank coke or any fizzy pops so that theory is out Barry lol x

I intend to have more than one vodka Barry !! Also some twiglets ,chocolate and turmeric flavour crisps…I have been going through this since the beginning of May and I deserve some treats , as do all of us going though this b****y thing.

Oh well lol. A general improvement in nutrition and fitness is still likely to help, but have to put faith in the treatment more than anything x

Not sure about the twiglets! X

My surgeon told me they are good for you.

What’s good about them? x

They taste good…

Just had a quick read up, seem ok.

Low in fat,high in fibre ,vitamin B.

Sadly Nikki doesn’t like them. More a chocolate fiend lol

Get her on Green and Blacks that’s good for you too…

Dark chocolate seems to be ok, so need to stock up on that. I’m more of a fruit person myself x

Green and blacks and twiglets are the best :slight_smile: twiglets are low in fat and have vitiman b12! And green and blacks is just good for any woman who needs chocolate I have 2 bars downstairs and they are all mine my husband and son know not to touch lol xx

Hi Barry they took my compression sox off before I left the hospital so did not wear them long. Not long Jill yep sounds good - Twiglets, vodka and coke :slight_smile: xx

Just the mention of Green and Blacks has sent me to the shop to buy a bar!!!
