Hiya girls hope you are both ok,
Fi, hope the weathers been better for you over the weekend , its been realy warm here again, Glad to hear your night shift went ok and it was a bit quieter , though time seems to drag a bit when your not so busy doesnt it. Have you been off over the weekend?
Hope you had a nice evening with your friend for her birthday ,did you manage to go to the quiz night?
I too am realy worried about Jill now, and hope she is just haveing a break ,realy concerned that she might not be well again though, as i think she would definately post and let us know how she was if she could, Jill ,realy hope alls ok ,thinking about you pet xxx
Well ive had a quiet weekend as hubbys been working , so not been up to much, took my dog (Bailey) for a nice walk today ,its good exercise for me too lol it was pretty hot though ,but i love the summer dont you? hope its here to stay now.
Docs refered me for physio on my arm now, so am just waiting for the appointment to come through and hopefully that will help a lot. My sister told me last night that she was called up for her first mamagram last week with the national screening program (she is 49) and now has to wait 6 weeks for the results, so realy keeping my fingers crossed that her results come back clear,
Do you still have to have mammos Fi?, i am due my first one after DX in august so realy not looking forward to that , i even hate checking for lumps now just in case i find something.
Take care and chat again soon
Lots of Love

Hi Lindiloo
Definately love the sunshine - we just dont get enough of it up here - I was born for warmer climates - lol
Will keep my fingers crossed for your sisters mammo. I have not had one since half was thro chemo - and now that you mention it - I actually have appointment with surgeon tomorrow and I am sure the onc said I should have mammo before this next appointment - bit late now tho eh? Must remember to ask tomorrow. HOw often do you have check ups - I am every 3 months alternating between surgeon and onc. I know what you mean about hating checking for lumps - remind me - did you have mast or not? I get mixed up with everyone so please forgive me.
Had a fantastic evening on sat - went to quiz night and had a right laugh - havent giggled so much in ages so it was good. Hopefully going out for tea and a few drinks with my mate this coming sat - with or without my daughter.
Ditto all you said about Jill - hope you are ok Jill - missing you xxx
Will let you know how I get on tomorrow - will just be another case of short talk and flashing my boob and no boob - lol
Love

Hi Fi,
How did you get on with your appointment today,hope everything went ok like you say its usealy a quick poke and prod and a chat lol, im not quite sure how ofen im supposed to be going these days as havent got into a routine with it all yet, i am seeing onc again on 1st july (only saw him 6 weeks ago) but think that may be because i told them about my arm pains , i see surgeon every 6 mths and been told ill see onc every 6 mths too so between the 2 of them i suppose il be the same (a check every 3 mths) i know they said i will be going up there for the next 5 yrs,
I had a WLE, 2.3cm tumour with high grade DCIS,no nodes affected thankfully, but was grade 3. I went with one lump but they found 4 on ultra sound ,was a bit freaked out at the time but after biopsys the other 3 were confirmed fibrodeomas ,Phew .
Glad you had a nice evening and managed to get to the quiz night, how did you do ?lol.
Did you see Trisha on gmtv ? everywhere you look these days seems to be about breast cancer Tv/mags dont know about you but im trying to put it to the back of my mind but its pretty impossible as we seem to be reminded of it daily.
Mind you there was another news story on gmtv this morning saying a study has just been published saying that people with early BC , with no nodes affected have the same life expectancy now as someone who has never had BC , lets hope they are right eh God knows theres always differant reports comeing out.
Well ive got the day off today so am on here early lol how about you, are you working? the weather is still glorious here ,hope you have a good day, chat soon
Lots of Love

Hi Lindiloo
Glad y ouve got day off and are enjoying it. WEather here has not been so good. I am off today too - altho had to go into work for a meeting for an hour!!
I know what you mean about bc being everywhere - I did not see Trisha but did see the report about the study - I try not to pay too much attention to all the studies as I think it would drive me nuts - since most of them are on the ‘blame’ side - ie if we ate to much of this or drank too much of that etc etc.
We were 3rd last at quiz night - lol - but its not about the winning - lol - just as well. Had a good giggle anyway.
Visit to surgeon went fine. They want to see me in 3 months again - I will have seen genetics by then with my results for that and I have pretty much decided that even if I do not carry the gene I will get other breast off preventativly anyway - not an easy decision but one that feels right to me as I dont want to go through all this again - and it may look better for reconstruction - as in even - surgeons would support this and plastic surgeon said he would take other one off and then do bilateral recon at same op.
I am back to work tomorrow for 2 days - yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Enjoy the rest of your day
Are you working tomorrow?
Lots of love
Fiona

Hi Fi,
So pleased to hear that all went well at your appointment with your surgeon, when do you have to go for your genetics test ? I totally understand your decision about haveing the other breast removed also, though i know it cant be an easy decision, i know i would proberly do the same though, even if genitics wasnt involved , it proberly will help with reconstruction too like you say ,
Glad you enjoyed the quiz night its good to get out and have a good laugh isnt it, hope work was not too hectic today.
My son graduates wednesday from Fifteen, so been out organising a new outfit lol, decided on black trousers,and a lacey blouse , and also bought some new shoes,(dont need the shoes as got loads lol) but you know what we girls are like with shoes ,saw them had to have them ha. Its being held at the Eden Project so should be a good evening ah bless him il be a proud mum.
Still so worried about Jill, i realy hope everything is ok ,missing you Jill xxxx
Are you doing anything nice for fathers day sunday, i wish my dad was still here, i know it may sound daft but i still buy him a card and take it up the cemetary for him,its hard isnt it,
Well you take care Fi, hope you had a good day , chat again soon
Lots of hugs
Lindiloo x
Hi Lindiloo
I have had the genetics test done - will go back for results mid July - so not too much longer.
Good on you for buying new stuff - good excuse!! - Hope you have a fab time - and dont shout too loud - lol
Dad is coming over for dinner on Sunday - going to do beef olives - i have a fab butcher and they are lovely - will have new tatties and veg - might buy a pud too. Its not daft at all that you still buy your dad a card - there are no rights and wrongs when it comes to bereavement - whatever feels right for you.
We had a busy day at work - but it was ok - just kept going rather than hectic. We are full and I am on with 2 juniors tomorrow so its gonna be a mad day - I can feel it in me bones!!
Have you any plans for the weekend? I am going out for tea sat evening with my 2 best mates - one will be driving but myself and Nicole will manage a few drinkies - really looking forward to it - my god - 2 weekend in a row - wow - very unusual for me!!
You have a good day tomorrow
Take care
Love and hugs

Thought I would just say a quick hello as found our thread way down on page 9!!
Had tea out with the girls last night and got home at 0330!!! No intentions of making a night of it but had such a laugh - first time I have been out like that in such a long time.
Anyway, beef olives are in the slow cooker - dad and my friend are coming over later for lunch. Must go jump in shower.
Hope you are ok Lindiloo
Are you up to anything nice?
Love and hugs

Hiya Fi,
Sounds like you had a good night, good for you lol, ahh i remember the days when i used to come in with the milk man too ha,
The weathers changed a bit here (rainy) so havent been up to much cos hubbys been at work too, just cooking the sunday roast now, then prob take my dog for a walk.
My son is moveing back home tomorrow so realy need to sort his room for him as when he brought his stuff back a couple of weeks ago he just dumped it in there, as had to get back asap , he was gonna sort it when he gets back but it will save him a job if its all ready for him ( kids eh).
Hope you have a lovely day with your dad and friend, your dinner sounds scrumpious , have you any plans for this evening? or are you gonna put your feet up like me .lol. Im back at work in the morning.
Take care, chat soon
Love Lindiloo xx
Hi Lindiloo
Absolutely no plans for the evening - rest, rest and more rest. This getting in at 330 lark is not good the next day - especially at my age - lol. Laugh of it was I thought I would be home by about 11 - but thats when the best nights happen.
Dinner was lovely - dishes all done now so just having a relaxing day now.
Hope youve managed to sort your sons rooms out - I am sure he will appreciate it!!??
Have a good day tomorrow.
Love

Hi Fi, hope your ok,
The graduation was brilliant, very emotional awh, had a few tears lol, (mums eh) what made me cry was just before the trainees were presented with their awards they showed a video of about 5 mins long of each trainee following their last 18ths, it was realy lovely, they then got presented with a white gold necklace engraved with their name , fifteen graduate of 2008 love Jamie , awh was lovely,and he was also presented with a big portrait of himself at fifteen ,earlier in the day they were all taken for a 45 pound haircut lol so they all looked great ha, over the next few days all the pics of the night will be on the fifteen cornwall website so cant wait to have a look. Ahhh yeah im a real proud mum at the mo as you can proberly tell lol

Hi Lindiloo
Sorry about delay in responding - no excuse other than working.
Glad you enjoyed graduation - of course you had a few tears - would not have expected anything else - lol.
Does not sound like our weather has been much better than yours. I have been working extra hours yesterday and today - and I am now on normal shifts for next 3 days - boo hoo!!
Suzie had a great birthday - we pigged out in pizza express!
Still no word from Jill - god I hope she is ok - please try and let us know Jill

Take care

Fiona

Hi Fi, hope you are ok,
Glad to hear Suzie had a great birthday, awh how old is she now?
Like you i am very concerned about Jill, it seems a long time now since she last posted , though her last post sounded as though she was feeling much better so i realy hope she has just decided to have a break mabe away from this site. I am worried though.
Bens been settleing right back in at home lol its nice to have him around again. My other son and his girlfriend are comeing to stay next sunday for 5 days so looking forward to that , both brothers will be able to get together and catch up lol
Had a pretty quiet weekend so far as hubby at work again, bless him , may do something later though. The weathers better today thank goodness but still windy (so much for summer eh) ive got work in the morning then off to town later .
Have you been up to anything nice this weekend ? sounds like youve been doing lots of extra hours at work lately, are you all sorted now in your move at work.
Take care and chat soon
Lots of Hugs

Hi Lindiloo
Suzie was 15 yesterday - I cannot believe it!!!
I have not been up to anything apart from work - I have done quite a lot of extra hours but will get the extra pay in my July wages just before I go on hols so that will be very handy - have done the equivalent of a weeks work so will be well worth m y while.
So you’ll have both your boys back - is there a big difference in age? I am sure you have told me but you know what the mind is like??!!
Weather was horrible here again today - as you say - where is the summer?
Hope you have a good day at work tomorrow. I too am at work for next 2 days - and I am teaching a group of about 9 tomorrow morning from 9 - 1 so that’ll be great - noT!!
You take care and have a good day
Lots of love

Hi Lindiloo
I am going to Bulgaria on hols - was there 2 years ago with partner at time and Suzie - I am going this year with Suzie and her friend - so with just being the 3 of us I chose to go back to same apartments so that I know exactly where I am going - cant wait for 9th August - bring it on!!!
I have been watching big bro - once you start you cant stop eh? I agree about alex - she was horrible - that sylvia is not much better - and as for Mario and Lisa - especially Mario - he is soooooooooooooooooooooooo up himself - what do they look like???
Work has been quieter - and teaching went fine.
Good luck for you appointment next week - and really hope your physio works.
I have 2 days off but am going to be busy - am pretty tired having just had 5 days on. I too feel tired a lot of the time but keep pushing myself - I too wander if I will ever get back to fitness I was before - I was really pretty fit and just want to be like that again - but think I am being impatient!!
Fed up of this bloody weather. Whats it been like with you?
Lots of love to you and Jill
Fiona

Hi Fi,
Hope your ok bet you cant wait for your hols, Bulgaria sounds good,a girly holiday eh good for you hope you have a fab time.
Awh big brother, i agree silvias definately gotta go ,what a schemer she is, and mario and Lisa urghhhh. lol,dont know where they find some of these people but suppose it makes good tv.
Glad youve got a couple of days off, have you been up to anything nice?
Weather here has been pretty good last few days but still not your normal summer , was down on the sea front yesterday and the beach was quite busy and people were swimming ,sat on the front and had a coffee and watched the rest of the world go by ahhh bliss lol.
Still no word from Jill, everytime i come on i am hopeing she has posted i expect your the same. Realy hope your ok Jill xxx
Take care of yourself, and chat soon

Hi Lindiloo
How are you?
Is the weather good for you today?
It started off sunny here but think it might rain later - clouds are getting thicker - hoping to get out into garden and get more stones dug out!! Waiting for sparky to come at mo.
Climbed Bennachie again on day off then went swimming. Am off this weekend but no real plans - see what the day brings us. Suzie is quite happy pottering around on her computer!!
Work was absolutely crazy yesterday - loads of sick kids and not enough beds or staff!! Was glad to get finished last night.
Have a nice weekend
I too always hope that Jill has posted when I log on - wish there was some way we could know how she was
Take care
Love n hugs
Fiona

Hi Fi,
Hope your ok and have had a good weekend, it sounds like youve been busy again lol, My sister got her mamagrm results yesterday and v good news it was all clear, thank goodness, bless her she was so relieved she cried, Im so pleased for her as i know she was realy worried because of me being Dx , there isnt anyone else in our family that has ever had BC so trust me,guess i was just unlucky.
When do you get your results for the genetics testing? everything seems to take so long doesnt it when you are waiting,
My son was supposed to come down today but hes in portugal for 5 days so will be comeing Tuesday it will be lovely to see him as havent seen him for 6 mths, i expect we will get out and about a bit lol.
Had a pretty quiet weekend as weathers not been great but the sun has come out now thank goodness i hope it lasts for my sons visit lol.
I know what you mean about wishing there was a way we could contact Jill ,its a shame BCC wont let us give out emails to people we trust ,at least then any people who wanted to keep in touch could.
Whooo another one kicked out of Big Brother eh, what are they like , i dont realy know who i want to win this year as they are all so bloody irritateing lol
Take care and chat soon
