November 2017 Chemo Starters

Morning everyone

Thanks for posting 're HF Lesley - thought it might be gremlins again. Like you my hair is rapidly growing back and apparently our hair at the front grows back slower!! Good luck with your rads tomorrow ?:skull_and_crossbones::radioactive:

Btw, how are people’s nails. My white Mark’s now look naturel tips and my ridges are about halfway up my nail. I’m rubbing oil on them daily and keeping them short.

Had copy letter from onc to gp and he’s confirmed I’ve neuropathy on the soles of my feet. Any tips - I’ve been told to stop using a hot water bottle. I started suffering from cold feet about a week after my last Docetaxel.

Bythesea hope you’re home soon
Carole hope you’ve been resting at home & on your way to recovery.
Otter good luck with your last rads
Anadan when’s your last chemo, must be soon.
AK, HF, fmb and anyone I’ve missed wishing you all well. Enjoy yiur bank holiday Monday

Afternoon Ladies x
Lesley I don’t get it??? Is it a dodgy wig in the basket? Is it not of the same quality of Wendy and her friends???
I’ve seen people in short wigs and wigs and I would never have known till they told me???

I’ve been sprung!! ?
I’m soooo stupid… Lesley I was imagining a ropey old wig hanging about at the bottom of a wicker basket in your bathroom, with you lifting it out every now and again!! I get it now internet shopping! Bring back those steroids! Why not get your least favourite wig chopped at hairdressers??? Then you can watch transformation???

That’s a good idea!! Might do that.
You’re not being stupid. I was assuming everyone knows what’s going on in my head … always dangerous on so many levels!!

Are you home now??

Rest up xx

That’s me on ferry :ferry: I don’t have the hair growth problems, except my little bald patch but my eyebrows!!! They look like I went to a party and someone shaved them off and they are regrowing. Black stubble is the only way I can describe them!!!

By the sea, wig in a basket ???you had me ???Lesley good luck with ???keep slapping the cream in and keep hydrated it’s fine honest ???club Tropicana awaits we’ll have a ???waiting for you and rest of Nov girls too ???Lesley get the wig, I’ve got them from short, bob and long and you can match wig to outfit then ???that’s what I do anyway ???:sparkles::sparkles::sparkles:shi xx

Good luck tomorrow Lesley are you early???x
Animal hammock ladies did any of you swell up like a page three girl and were you told to watch out for blanching??? Did it go pink? Any care tips greatly appreciated. Home and in clean sheets. Other than don’t sleep on top of it I’m a novice ?

0830 for me - first session bythesea - not great but at least I get the rest of the day back!

Xx

Nice to hear from you harry fiddler x. What’s the story with the facial hair on your little icon???
I’ve had a ct scan and nuclear bone scan after chemo. Both clear phew! But scanxiety was brutal ?
Are you going flat after mx or have you still to decide???
How long is your mind m staying for???x

Hope it all goes well and your trip to LA is uneventfull ???

1 down, 19 to go :slight_smile:

 

I managed to break their machine … twice!!   Just the thought of me being the first patient of the day was enough to stop it starting up… and then half way thru it had a wobble and said it was colliding with the patient - it was miles away from me!!  My boobs aren’t that big!!!  4 radiographers, 2 engineers and 1 very numb arm/hand and we were off again!  

 

20 secs of radiation and it took an hour!!

 

You’ve got to laugh!! ?  But I couldn’t cos they wanted to stay as still as possible!!

Happy Tuesday everyone xx

Well done Lesley on getting the 1st rad done xxxx

My brain says 12th April??? Think there’s two on that date??? Is it Annakarenina who’ll be holding your hand Fmb???
Otter I can’t believe your nearly finished either root toot toot!!! We are just munching through all this. Swimming is what I’ve missed ???

Good afternoon ladies

Sorry I’m too late Lesley to wish you well for today so glad to hear that you have the first one ticked off the list. And Otter just one more to go, wow well done you ?

HF good luck for tomorrow sending you lots of positive vibes and big hugs.?

I can’t believe I’m now a week post surgery. Bythesea I haven’t had a pink boob but I believe you can show some reaction to the pig skin but it then goes down. And also I don’t resemble a page 3 girl?. I was told to keep an eye on any skin colouration changes. I do have a reddish mark, about the size of a penny just below my nipple and my nipple is slightly dry. I have been told to apply aqueous cream and call back tomorrow, but as I have no temperature and my boob isn’t hot they don’t think it’s an infection, fingers and toes crossed. I hope you are still doing okay and are recovering well.

Today is my sons 16th birthday so out to dinner this evening, diet starts tomorrow xx

Nipple??? Nipple! Knew I was missing something ???

The little emoji is me and I love it ???

Not eye Lesley, that’s what boobies look like x?x
Get up and glow! Hope you don’t collide with LA tomorrow and it goes smoothly x
Good luck tomorrow Harry Fiddler xxx

Harry fiddler ???lots of :heart::heart::heart:???we are all with you girl ???Lesley well done in first ???by the sea, get the emoji tattoo rather than nipple ???I dare you ???:sparkles::sparkles::sparkles:shi xx

I’m a Wally Bythesea!!

Ha just like me with your wicker basket xxx
