Mai, thanks for the amazing bellringing!
All the best to Shi, lots of us have been there, it’s bad luck but you’ll get through it Shi! Day 9 is often the worst.

Welcome home Daffodil, I hope you have a nice restful night! Well done for getting through phase 2!

Well done Daffodil, I hope you get to rest up over the weekend and watch everyone else do the packing.

?? Well done Tatyana! You’re through
I know what you mean about the PICC. It did a great job but it’s so good to see it go.

Hugs and sparkles to Shi, sorry to hear you’re in hospital. ?

Thanks for the music Mai, I’m feeling a bit bruised and have gone lopsided and braless. It only hurts if Iit gets knocked but I have a bouncy 4 year old. The night sweats aren’t much fun and not helping the tiredness.

Finish line next Wednesday… ?

Well done tatyana and daffodil! Rest up both of you.

Mai, pass on my well wishes for shi , poor thing x

How you getting in treehouse? Xx

We are nearly there MJK. I’m feeling sore too. Started 5 boosters today so 4 to go! Roll on Thursday. X

?? well done on the last Filgrastim Mai, especially as you’ve had a lot more than most of us. I hope you’re not too achy.

Mai, congrats on last filgrastim, my last will be Thurs, can’t wait!
Off for an early night now. Sleep well all!

Please send love to shi bless her.
Ok surgery ladies did you have to do blood thinning injections at home???
I thought that was behind me. You kept that quiet ?

Hi Jay, the radiotherapy gives a similar ‘glow’ to the one you get from sunburn. It also makes you tired but the sweats come from the Tamoxifen I started at the same time as radiotherapy. Add in the achy muscles lingering slightly after dozy tax hell and sleep isn’t great right now. So its a quiet weekend for me with comfy pjs featuring highly. X

Hope to get right drain out tomorrow before I go home in the afternoon. Left one may stay in til tues. but there isn’t much so possibly earlier. Had to take bra off as not comfortable and didn’t fit. Don’t think there is a size for these right now ?

Morning ladies. After a disturbed night due to a very poorly lady in the room next door and me having major ? wind( what’s that about?)also managed to go to the loo on my own yay! I just got woken up by the breakfast lady. Pain is minimal and I have not had any tablets since 10 last night. Looks like I am through the worst just must not over do it.

Sorry I have not kept up with everyone. Glad daffodil is ok. Well done on bell ringing Kayla.
Hope shi is doing ok. Rad ladies get a rest on the weekend?

Mai are you through the worst of side effects?
Lots of love all x

Tatyana not Kayla sorry!
Mai you deserve a medal for finishing those injections. I am not thrilled about having to do blood thinning injections grr!
So glad Jay and MJK are keeping us going Katie too. You guys seem to be on the home straight and sprinting right now. I am limping round a bend.
Love to wolfee and sis.

I’m here :slight_smile: still check in with everyone just haven’t posting in a while. I had my lumpectomy yesterday so currently resting up in bed. I’m so pleased to hear everyone is doing well xx

Morning all!

 

Woken up to a beautiful warm and sunny day, just to mean I have to wear my summer clothes which I have ready for Spain!

 

Waiting on the boiler man so I can get the school uniforms through the wash. Youngest son is having a belated birthday party ? ? tomorrow. Got 6 x 10 year olds for the day,  pizza then going swimming to a pool with water slides and wave machine. Going to be hectic but he has waited until I knew I would be back on my feet!

 

Had a weird upsetting few days, found out my eldest son has been bullied at school since the start of year. He never said anything to us as he thought it would stop and I was going through treatment, he didn’t want to worry me. Anyway school is dealing with it. The ring leader was slapping the back of his head, pinching, kicking, pushing on stairs. They hid is rucksack on Monday and laughed as they watched him panic as he was looking for it.Final straw was jumping on his back on Weds and ripping his new rucksack. I did challenge him a few times last term as he was wearing shorts and had bruises on his legs. He just said he was clumsy and walked into a table. The signs were there but until he said something we couldn’t do anything. Bless him, he is such a quiet lovely young man and wouldn’t hurt a fly. Hopefully this is now sorted as the boy has been spoken too and warned.

 

Sorry for the off topic rant, just had to get it off my chest so to speak.

 

Off for my flu jab soon, more needles!

 

Hope you all have an enjoyable, relaxing and recuperating weekend, gentle hugs all round.

 

:heart: Heather

 

 

Oh heather that must be heart breaking. So glad he finally told you. Poor thing probably didn’t want to worry you. Once school know, they can usually sort it out. Just encourage him to tell you if it happens again . How old is he? Hugs gentle tho

Well done Annie. What does lumpectomy scar and recovery look like. Really hope you are being well looked after. Mai I won’t be dancing for a while I will do some toe tapping for shi ?

Hopefully school will sort out the bullying, they claim zero tolerance and are on the case. It is my eldest son who is 14 and it happens in the quad at break and lunch where there are no adults and obviously no supervision! The school said the boy had been warned with “sanctions” but not sure if his parents are aware. We only have 3 more days this term so should be ok. His 2 best friends have been asked to stick with him all the time and report anything they see. He seems a whole lot happier now he has told us, not easy for a teenager.

Flap reconstruction ladies. Is anyone having both sides done?

Hi treehouse, my surgery was a day case admitted at 7:30 am went to theatre at 3 o’clock, back on the ward by 7, sent home at 9. I’m uncomfortable but nothing pain killers and bedrest can’t manage. I have blue wee and a blue boob from the dye ?
Scaring should be minimal just two incisions one at the side of my breast and then one under the arm from the node biopsy.
Hope your recovering well too x
