Hi
Just popping onto this thread - I actually started my chemo last week but something occurred to me today. I know a lot of people like to be prepared in advance with wigs etc, but the one thing I forgot was a cover for my picc line so I can take a decent shower!
So if you are starting after xmas and are going to have a picc line it might be wise to order now :smileyhappy:
Good luck ladies - have a good Christmas.

Hi everyone
Finally joined the forum today, after spending several evenings catching up on earlier posts and waiting for the kids to be out! I would love to join the private facebook page, please, if someone can help me with that - I understand a newbie can’t send pm’s?
I was diagnosed with type 2 invasive lobular cancer on 22nd October (date seared into my memory!), first thought to be 15mm tumour; MRI said it was 40mm; had WLE and sentinel lymph node removal and surgery in December. Every time I go back to the hospital the news gets worse; supposed to be having a CT scan for staging purposes and was not looking forward to any results from that. Surgeon said both nodes came back positive and multiple margins of the lump were positive. Met oncologist on 23rd December who told me the tumour was actually 67mm so I’m to start chemo as soon as my wound has healed and not to wait for the CT scan now. Was managing pretty well up to that point!! Pretty emotional Christmas but doing better now.
Anyway, glad to have found a group of ladies who’ll be going through this cancer trip at the same time as me. I have a feeling it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
Thanks, Jane. Was all prepared for the chemo news but the fact that my cancer is likely advanced - not early stage as first thought - was devastating. Now looking forward to cracking on with some heavy-duty chemo!!
