Im sure deedeepuss is very grateful to you both for input as you are both old hands at this! No offence meant but sometimes it’s nice to hear all comments.
I have read so many ladies saying letrozole doesn’t hold off progression for very long and it always ends up with the same route …chemo in some form.
It’s a hard journey this time around ( primary dx was a walk in park compared to this ) and although we all seem tough and strong …all feel the same fear.

Hi All, thankyou all for comments. Yes it’s a scary path we walk down. Just keep trying hormones, then chemo, then hormones etc. A vicious circle. My last experience with chemo wasn’t good, but now I’ve been through the last 3mths stressing about whether to go with chemo or hormone at least I know I would give the chemo another go.
I go to a hospital in Shropshire.
Did my A - Z last night thinking about cakes, got stuck on H.
Keep hanging in there xxx
It would be no good me doing the A to Z of cakes as I would have to get up and raid the fridge !! I tried doing cars A to Z the other night but got bored with that !!
Well keep on zzzzzzzzzzzzzz if you can …at least you have a new treatment plan in action now - didnt realise you had done so much chemo !!
It would be nice if there was a section where we all put our past treatments so we knew what everyone was dealing with… I cant remember whose having what !!!
Hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hiya
Yes I also think it would be good to have a section with treatment plans as I try and dip into threads sometimes to get a back story. I looked on my profile page to see if there was a section but couldn’t see anything.
You could be right about the cakes, there could be a subliminal message in the A-Z of cakes! Met my friend for a coffee today, and had an amazing piece of carrot cake. Didn’t connect the 2 but now you mention it.
Julie it was good to hear you have managed to stay with Letrozole for so long, that’s wonderful. Hope you continue to feel better, so many bugs and viruses around.
May start an A-Z of flowers tonight. That was such a brilliant tip, its helped me so much.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend and Mothers day. Night night xxx
Hiya hope yr a to z on flowers worked last night. I stayed up a bit later than normal so slept well …in fact haven’t been up very long.
Got some lovely flowers and chocs from eldest son and waiting for youngest one to visit running out of vases now.
Well we letrozole ladies must stick together and hope this tiny tiny pill does what its supposed to do.
Hugs xxxx
Hope you had a lovely day.
Yes I’m now officially a Letrozole lady, so keeping everything crossed it does the job.
Take care x
Didnt sleep well last night and tried naming characters in eastenders …got stuck on den and angies dog !!! Remembered when I woke up ( it worked) it was Rowley …
Might try corrie characters tonight.
Another idea for you non sleepers.
Hugs xxxx
Hiya Rachel …yes think u must b right …won’t even try to understand all these things. Just do what oncologist says and keep popping the pills she prescribes. Ignorance is bliss. Often thought how hard for nurses or doctors that have to go thru cancer treatment as too much knowledge must b scary !!
Hugs xx
Hi have been quite intersted with this thread. Couldn’t sleep last night so tried different subjects didn’t work but doing as many boys name beginning with A then moving on to B I fell alseep maybe it could have been boredom???
But thanks it’s been a good idea xxx
Sorry Marirose that our system didnt help !!! I often lay awake and think about how many other ladies are doing the a to z thing !!!
Try putting on tv and watching night time tv …thats enough to make anyone fall asleep !!! I watched a whole omnibus version of Hollyoaks once …aagh such a sad life. Then try the shopping channels - a half hour of the advantages of a steam mop or steam gun is enough to make any one nod off !!!
Come on ladies any other ideas …we have to keep this going !!
Hugs everyone xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hi Carolyn
I wasn’t knocking your system what I ment was when I was thinking how many boys names began A then B I dropped off so it must have worked even though my mind may have felt bored with the game.
I will try it again if I find myself in a sleepless situation
Good Luck tonight everyone xxx
zzzz … feeling tired tonight so hope I dont have to resort to a to z ..of anything …My Sis dragged me around Harveys looking at sofas, sitting on them and looking at swatches of materials so I think that will do the trick tonight !!!
Happy sleep everyone
Carolyn xxxxxxxxxxxx
Good night, sleep tight.

Chocolate bar beginning with E anyone? ?
Omg.all I can think of is egg …it’s nearly Easter
And the creme eggs are in the shops…yeah.
I did a to z of colours last nite and slept like a baby.
Hugs xxxx
Hiya Marie . I second that. I’m still chomping through mothers day chocs …yum.
Bigger knickers for me now …
Hugs xxx
Yes Easter eggs is a good one, ill do the chocolate one again tonight. Nothing wrong with big knickers?, we’ll just have to wear our special Hospital ones more often lol.
Loving the A-Z, thankyou.
Gotta go its Baileys night. Well I don’t have children so no Mothers day choccies, so gotta have a treat ?

Hiya Dee …yum Bailey’s no need for a to z counting tonight. U will sleep like a baby on it.
I’m not counting tonight …I have a book I’m in to so will try that .
Bailey’s drinkers also wear bigger knickers …loads of calories but they don’t count if u put ice in it as it wipes out the intake …haha.
Hugs everyone xxxxx
This thread has slipped a lot.
Last night went to bed ten ish .not feeling very sleepy but went through to six am without a pee or flush …the only thing I can think of … I had a banana before bedtime . First time ever as they normally give me heartburn.
There was a lot of press a few months ago about them being good for sleep . So try it and see if it works for you.
