Hi Mishy we have all been a bit busy by the looks of things. Glad you are doing well. So you decided to have the test, how did your son react? It’s a long wait for this one. I still hadn’t heard after 7 weeks so I phoned them. They called me back with my result a few hours later. I wasn’t surprised with my Mum’s history.
This is my second week back at work. I spent the whole day in yesterday. It’s going ok. Cardiologist and rehab this week. Herceptin and blood test next week. I still feel like I’m in the system.
Take care x x x

Hello ladies - long time no post - but I feel I simply must put on here the news that last night I held my celebration party - to celebrate end of treatment - after chemo, surgery, radiotherapy and 18 herceptin treatments - I’m the other side. In order to pay something back to this amazing charity Breat Cancer Care - I had donation pots strategically placed around the room. I did a speech in which I praised this charity - saying without it, my “journey” would have been significantly more difficult - I met a wonderful group of ladies - we shared some amazing experiences together and we found support, hope and love from one another - accordingly, I wanted to pay something back - I’m proud to say at the end of the evening we emptied the pots - a total of £269 was raised - I am totally amazed! x
Jay, what a wonderful idea, and what a great result! Well done!
Fab Jay! Well done to you and congratulations on getting through all the treatment. Xx
Well done Jay xx

So wish me luck as I’m off this afternoon for what could be my final echo scan - finished herceptin on 14th June - been on rampiril since February as the heart was starting to show signs of failure. Won’t know until August 14th when I see the oncologist, which again may well be my final meeting with her… Fingers crossed x
Hi ladies. Sorry just been getting too much to be reading posts on here and Facebook. Please.dont anyone take offence. Am ok. Look really well apparently.
Don’t always feel that I do but my pains although still they are better than a few months back. Stopping Anastrazole made no difference but I think since Herceptin am in less pain in the legs. It’s my hips and back now but MRI scan for my back and CT habe shown Arthitis in my spine. Physio die to start and am hoping to swim soon. In the meantime August will be a busy month with friends and family visits. Hope the weather holds and off to The Netherlands end of the month see my brother whom havent seem for 3 1/2 years. Had lovely time visiting my Step Dad in South of France too 3 weeks ago. Just need more of my family to live in warmer climates! Do have a cousin in Aussie land but that’s a dream. Love to all. Trisha xx
Jay, hope all goes well for you and your heart holds out ok. It’s all very worrisome. Look after yourself and don’t push too hard on exercise. Sending hugs. Xxxx
Trisha, I too get aches and pains in knees, thighs, lower back and hips. If I keep moving regular it helps but sitting for prolonged periods makes it worse. Hope you enjoy Amsterdam. I love it, such a pretty place. Xxx
Daffodil, im going to be facing the same soon also. I’ll be guided by the surgeon, I think! At the moment I’m thinking of having a reduction on my good side to make it easier so the skin doesn’t have to stretch so much on the other side of which I shall not speak! Xx
Thanks Mai and good luck Jay and all you wonderfully brave ladies xx
Well done Jay how great to hesr no more onclogy for you!! I have to see mine once a year now as surveillance so to speak but not in a meds capacity
