Just diagnosed and wanting to talk to people who understand

I’ve read loads of books I had to force myself to give my over active brain a rest else I could have lost it! Feel a bit edgy shopping or in car alone but never did like my own company :wink: x

Is there a special chocolate prosecco infused sprouts receipe I should be trying or should I just stick to the wine? x

Or you can do a fondue with Green and Blacks and dip crispy. kale ,sprouts and broccoli ,actually that’s disgusting too, just have the Green and Blacks and a small glass of Prosecco for medicinal purposes.

Well I’m just about to tackle a bar of Cadbury’s Fruit and Nut with half a pint of beer! Probably be tipsy after the beer, since I haven’t had a drink for a long time. Husband says he’s not carrying me up the stairs cod of his bad leg, woose!

You will have to crawl ,you can do it Francine…

Oh yes I can do crawling! Just need to make sure that I don’t bump the boob on the way up!

Careful planning required and lots of padding !!

Morning everyone, how are you all feeling today. I’m feeling a lot more positive after reading older posts on this forum x

Hello Barry, glad the older posts have helped, bet you’re glad to be home with Nikki for the weekend!

 

I’m feeling ok, bad nights sleeps for some reason although I was tired, didn’t get fully asleep until after about 1.30 and awake at 5am so having a pyjama day! Looking forward to getting extra padding off…I had a bled when getting dressed to go home and basically they piled lots of extra on and sort of stuck my boob to my rib cage! They said the extra dressing could come off after 24hrs…roll in 2.30! 

 

Hope everyone one is doing good, sunshine in East Kent is helping lift my spirits!

Hi Amanda, they do because they are people that have been through this.

Remember to rest up and gradually do your exercises x

Hi Amanda , glad you are on the mend do exercises gradually when you can I 7 weeks post mx and 3 weeks post ANC I am stk taking it easy with some of the exercises but you do get there in the end xxx hi Barry, hope you and Nikki are feeling a bit more positive today xxx ( it’s all that green & blacks :)) xxx

Thanks Ange. How are you today? x

Hi Barry, very achy today have had to take painkillers. I think I just want to get on with it now. I have been looking at the September chemo thread just to get some prep for start date xx

If you’re like Nikki, then laying in one place means a bit of discomfort in the morning. Good idea to get some tips x

Hi Amanda, hope you are feeling more comfortable .Francine hope you managed the stairs after your half a lager!!!Sarah enjoy Madness!!Prosecco definitely works for post radiotherapy burns,just roll the bottle on red hot boob to cool it down then drink to anaesthetise!!!

I could do with running around to madness :slight_smile: might forget about the pain my arm is in. Think I have over done it running about after a naughty 2 year old!! :frowning: xx

Not easy to prioritise yourself when you have a toddler is it, they just don’t respond to “Mummy’s tired can’t play with you now” do they.My son was a horror.

Bless ya Ange, maybe means you don’t have so much time to stop and think. I dunno x

Do painkillers help or do they just zonk you out?I had a lot of pain just with my sentinel node removal I can imagine aux node clearance is very painful.

I wish Nikki would take more pills but she doesn’t want to become dependant x
