Annie, sorry can’t help as I haven’t got one but can sympathise as I would feel squeamish over the line thing but I have heard the make such a good difference and as with most things I’m sure it will be nowhere near as bad as you imagine.
Mostly I wanted to message you because you were still up and awake and try and comfort you please don’t loose sleep over it xxxxxx
I am on day 12 since my first FEC and feel guilty that I actually feel well??? Scared its gonna crash down on me. Boyfriend left and I am glad! Got thru the very sore throat and constipation. (That was horrid) Dont sleep well, hence awake at silly oclock, but did have a solid 4 hours. How amazing was the MCR concert!! Iam a Mancurian and if the boyfriend had been here would have had to watch Motorbikes, so silver ligning in every cloud! I do like bikes but it meant alot to me to watch the concert. My sick note runs out this week and am struggling on SSP have loads of holiday due that have to take by end of July, so need ask work if can take that or do they have to honour it?? Any advice be welcome.
Sending big hugs to all of you xx
Sorry Anniej, a Hickman line. Thanx for the reassurance ladies. I know it’s got to be better than sitting for an hour trying to find a vein every single time 
I’m totally overthinking it I know I am. I just want it over and done with xx
Hi AnnieA, I hope you got some sleep. I can echo what Trisha69 says. PICC Line fitting is fine and I don’t have any problems with it. It was slightly tender for a day but nothing like the biopsy. I didn’t get George Clooney though ?which is rubbish as it’s his local hospital and he was a doctor. Trisha69 I’m on day 14 too and feeling fine as well. You could ask for the holiday as it would make sense for them and you. I’m not sure what your job is but could you go back to work for a week before the next round? X
Trish69, maybe you could use your holidays for each week 1 (and week 2 because immune is at lowest) and perhaps try and work week 3 that’s what I’m thinking I will try and do?? I’m two weeks in today and feel good also. Tomorrow I’m going in2 work just for a few hours test the weather but I feel nervous about seeing people (my temp replacement) and sharing kitchen and toilets and paranoia of germs!! But if I don’t do it tomorrow I’m not sure I will because I feel I’m developing a fear!!
Glad the boyfriend is away this will give you some time to think about yourself and recover in peace thinking about yourself and not looking after the big kid having 2 consider his actions and reactions all day long. Keep strong once this is all over if you wish you can try and work things out with him although by then you should be realising how simple life is without him and be so strong and confident in yourself that you realise his not even good enough for you and you deserve better. Xxx
MKJ just googles tribke from star treck (never watched before) ?
Morning ladies. Goodness you have all been busy in the night. Annie I am sorry I have no words of wisdom regarding lines. But after my last treatment day, I am half expecting to be recommend one. And like you would be very nervous about it. So sending hugs and ask if you can feed back after. We are all here for you. Trish you are sounding so strong ? right now. I feel my illness is to help me take stock of my life and make some changes. Still working out what they are though.
I also have felt really well this time round. Which is nice but compared to first time is a little worrying. I kept saying first time, if I feel this bad, it must be working. I have been signed off work till end of July. Then it is summer hols. Not sure how much time off we need for surgery? I woke up briefly at 4 with sinus pain. Got me thinking about nasal hairs…do they fall out too? And if so, where do they go?
Nor had I but my wig is definitely a tribble. The likeness is spooky. ?
Have you ever noticed that all emojis are bald? ???
Chemojies ?
Treehouse that comment has actually made me day ?
chemojies ??? xx
I love it. ? My next 2 weeks in chemojis us looking like ?
???(tribble)
?
Lol. X ?
Well done Trisha. After all getting rid of unhealthy lumps is what it’s about at the moment. Big hugs. X
Ha ha, unhealthy lumps! Love our little group!
Hope your all doing well ladies xx
Think I maybe the T guineapig, got last FEC 22 June, not even thinking about the T yet! Day 5 today and better than 1st cycle. Just tired but making the most of boys being back at school. Mouth is ok but a little sensitive, no constipation this time!
Heather
Good to hear you’re doing ok. Having the boys off school for a week is probably tiring in itself. It does mean docetaxol over the summer holidays. ? If things stay on track I start T on 27 July. I’m banking the childminder sessions I’m not using to give me a break over the summer. X
I start paciltaxol on the 5th July but a weekly dose x9. Is anyone else on this? ?? X bit nervous starting new drug. Still have got last EC on the 14th to think about first! X
I have felt much better on my second round (of lots of drugs). But the pains started again today. (day 7) paracetamol seems to be working and i am keeping moving rather than staying in bed. I think lying on a sore back made it worse first time. A bit of burpy heart burn this time but nothing to complain about.
Just been and picked up my trible ? It’s hanging on the banister post perfect like my stairs were built with that job in mind. I’ll leave it there and keep peeping at it for a while maybe if it stays there it will start feeling like part of the furniture !!! (It’s actually not so bad I’m warming to it)

Hi Mai. Yes I have been taking omeprozole before breakfast. This is the first time I have had heartburn. Last time I just couldn’t stop farting. Why do the side effects change?
