??thanks tatyana.
Still no bed . Very doubtful surgery will happen tomorrow now :frowning:

Great post tatyana ??treehouse darling, just go with the flow and rest, if you get delay then they obviously are not too worried about doing procedure, that’s another way of looking at it. ???:sparkles::sparkles:shi xx

Bed found. I am moving tonight. Not sure when surgery will be.
Utterly terrified!!!

Treehouse. I know your terrified and quite frankly you have every right 2 be this is scary and massive but the sooner you get transported and on your way the sooner it will all be over. Your so brave and so strong as always you will amaze us and be posting how you’ve done it and recovering.

Typing this whilst trying to serve up dinner (boeuf bourguignon) and everyone moaning about where their  dinner is. Honestly, do they not realise how important this is.

Thank you everyone. Totally overwhelmed by love and support. May and October warriors!!! ??
I have a side room ?. Nurses seem nice. ?Registrar not so much?. Didn’t listen and tried taking blood from a vein. We stopped doing that after the picc was fitted on Monday!! He seemed to think that he knew best. After 2 painful failed attempts he finally agreed to use the picc .
Thanks for the bruises !
Hope to meet surgeon in the morning. Not expecting op tomorrow…
Good luck back on the rads treadmill tomorrow ladies.
Love you all x x x

Im still awake treehouse so just thought i would check in glad you are settled in the ward hope once you speak to surgeon you will be feeling better about the whole thing stay strong ? big hugs ?

Hi All…flushes keeping me awake and brain won’t switch off…

Treehouse glad you are settled into side room hope when you talk with surgeon they are kind and put you at ease for your op…also can only imagine your thoughts but you will be with the right team to get this sorted and onto recovery time…you are so brave and strong?and have great family support…wish you all the best x

Loving the pics of new eyebrows and fab hair…my hair growing but thin still need hats mostly for warmth…my nails look similar but a few have turned white with just a wee bit of new growth hoping they won’t fall off…my skin was a bit more red a couple of weeks after rads but is looking more normal now my arm was also heavy and stiff but kept exercising and it is a bit better…take care all hope you are all sleeping??

Morning, a few of you looks like you had some trouble getting off 2 sleep hope you all settled in the end.

So horror happened yesterday. I am having what must be a period I know I should be happy as this means my body is recovering and returning to normal after the chemo but I haven’t yet started the tamoxafen and now I’m panicking about all the hormones flying around my body.
Also I was as ok as it’s possible 2 be about having overies and womb etc out when I thought I’d kinda lost all that ability anyway and now it’s makong me sad because perhaps if none of this had happened I could have gone on to have children. I won’t ill stick with the plan but today it all feels harder. ?

Oh wolfee, that is so sad for you. Don’t worry about the hormones in your body, the tamoxifen is for long-term protection and a little bit of hormone chaos in the short term won’t matter, this must be true or they’d have started you on the tamoxifen already. But it is so distressing for you to have to cope with the sadness all over again, when you had got used to the situation. You know nothing has really changed, but it’s tough. Lots of hugs.??

Treehouse, welcome to sunny Coventry. I hope you got some sleep in the end and that the surgeon is nice. Your poor veins! If a doctor tries to take blood himself rather than getting the nurse to do it, it usually means trouble. I had a doc jabbing and poking at my poor feet for 10 minutes one time in the middle of the night because one arm was no-go and the other had the picc which had a drip in at the time. Very painful feet and absolutely no success. The problem is that half the people are not trained on picc lines, and that seems to include 100% of the doctors!

???treehouse, we are with you lovely and speak to you soon warrior treehouse ???:heart::heart::heart:??:sparkles::sparkles:shi xx

Just met my surgeon. He is one of the best!
He explained how serious the damage was but also the need to reduce my risk of infection. Looks like They want me to stay on antibiotics longer before they operate. So maybe Monday next week. I am an hour and 20 min from home. They suggested moving me back but what if they can’t get a bed. Oh this is so frustrating. And unfair on my poor family x x x x
