MJK and Katie - our wonderful rads girls - good luck for tomorrow and Thursday - when both of you cross the finishing line - well done both of you!
Remember to keep up with the water consumption etc for 2 weeks - I understand the affects of rads can carry on for 2/3 weeks after treatment has stopped.
Mishy it was my onc who told me to stop the tumeric matcha powder green tea rosehip and garlic and supplements, mai7 we have same onc, did they tell you to stop it all too? Love shi xx
Eeeh I hope that’s not what caused my problems with Doxetaxal eating garlic I’m annoyed as noone told me that I’ve been eating it during this one too! I’m not eating it any more now! I’m annoyed as my onc never mentioned anything like that to me!
Thanks for letting me know though I will become vampire like no more garlic!!!
Well like I’ve just said on Oct forum to the girls, look where they all are done well on the chemo and look where I am going into 6 day in casa nhs, so obviously my onc is wrong. I wish my bone marrow would work. Love and sparkles everyone ???
shi xx
When I had my pre app with our onc, I took a list of all that I’d been eating and drinking all the supplements and everything, I’d gone antioxidant and cancer fighting everything I could get into me since diagnosis so I asked if I could still take this that and the other, some they said ok but the ones I mentioned on post just now our onc said not to take when I asked. Love shi xx
Mishy, same I was never told much about avoiding garlic or grapefruit etc. I was scoffing large round garlic breads (the ones that look like a pizza) I was eating wn entire one as my dinner because it tastes ok and was all I could face eating. I’d say one week I’d esten 3 or 4 of them. Then the lady sitting next to me on my last chemo said don’t eat the garlic!!! I was horrified. But I’d alreasy done all my FEC can’t remener if I’d had much garlic bread during this time but my craving started on my first T. So for my first two dox-y-hell I was eating tonnes of it. Stoped on last one!!
Shi it’s more likely to be the chemo battering your immune system a bit more than anything you have done my onc told me some peoples immune systems are more sensitive than others, I had a terrible time on first 2 fec not neutropenic but had terrible SE made me really ill with hospital admissions both times so onc had to reduce the dose 3rd time I was fine xx don’t beat yourself up as really it could be you need a dose tweeking I’m sure your onc will look after you big hugs ??
Oh thanks Mai. Interesting garlic is on table 2 avoid BUT table 3 potential benefit
???
Thanks Mai x I think for now even though I’m now on Abraxane I’m going to avoid it from now tl end of treatment just to be on the side of caution ?

Treehouse, meant to say thanks yesterday to you for tip about protein shake, thanks for that and thanks again ladies for support yesterday during my wobble ?today is a new day and wanted to wish everyone who has appointments well and everyone recovering from surgery well and everyone who’s finished the chemo train (think that was all of you done now yesterday wasn’t it) we’ll too. Have a great day ???shi xx
Morning all. Shi you had early obs and a cup of tea yet?
Will that was a crappy nights sleep!!!
It’s not the boobs that are the problem directly. It is the sleeping on my back and not being able to move. After 3 hours in my he same position I wake up with sore backs of heels!!!
Bum
Shoulder blades and even the back of my head hurts.
This is not natural, I am usually such a wriggler in bed.
I am going to end up like one of those babies that sleep on their back with a bald patch on the back of their head. ?
Sorry grump over.
Good luck today with final rads and other appointments.
May all bloods start to behave.
May all side effects me manageable
May all wounds heal
May all painkillers work
( the new breast cancer prayer maybe? ?)

Treehouse, loving the prayer ??? yes early bloods 8am, so not getting my hopes up like yesterday, as long as they are on their way up still that’ll do me and I am in right place till they raise up, so Just is what it is. Did anyone else receive extra injections on their next round of this or anything to prevent it from happening again, I know mai7 you had delay but at leadt it way fec 4 wasnt it you got to before this ?have great days ladies love and sparkles shi ??xx
Wolfee , work scares the hell out of me at the moment so bravo you!!
Can you record stuff on your phone at ask for a copy of power point?
Have you phoned BCN about swelling?
Well done for getting out there and being you. Not sure who I am at the moment. Being such a needy ‘Patient ‘ does not sit well.
Jay did you say you had thrush in armpit? What were symptoms? My SNB armpit has sore skin. Feels a bit like chafing or sunburn.
