Hi @beck1010 hope your cold hasn’t got too much worse and good luck today. Weekend was busy, but good getting the last bits all sorted for Christmas. I hope you were able to relax and good luck this week- will you be having 3 sessions this week, and then start again after Christmas? X

Hi I have three this week … am feeling quite tired now .then a four day gap . Am having a dog come to stay for two weeks so that will be nice and will make me exercise . Can you remember what happens after this ? As I was thinking well now I am all lumpy so when do they check us ? And how ? Lobular doesn’t show on scans so will be interested to see how they can follow up x hope you are all set for Xmas ? I’m still doing cards and haven’t posted x

Hi @beck1010 beck1010 you’ve done so well, not long till hopefully a nice restful break. We’re looking after my sons dog at the moment, its so lovely she is a cocker spaniel, very lively and affectionate. What breed of dog will be visiting you? Its hard when you finish treatment, as you go from lots of appointments to basically one or two a year. I saw my oncologist after i finished radiotherapy and he prescribed the hormone treatment which I started. As I had a double mastectomy, I cant have mammograms and the NHS don’t do scans, basically its “check yourself”, which i don’t think is enough. As of course the worry of recurrence is still there. Fortunately I have my private health insurance and get a yearly ultrasound. Id def ask the breast team what checks they will provide for you, especially if the lobular is hard to find. Hope today goes okay x

I’m looking after a black spaniel he’s gorgeous except when he farts .. I have to have zoledronic acid infusions apparently .. and the ribo … yes I will be wanting proper scans because one everything is lumpy and the scans don’t show lobular so where does that leave us .. if I have to have private scans I will though wd be worried I might light up everywhere like a Xmas tree . Happy Christmas to you .. your support has been so valuable I hope we can keep in touch xx

Hi @beck1010 beck1010 ah that’s the same colour as Pepper. Im sure you will get the follow ups you need. I dont think the worry of recurrence ever goes, but hopefully it will ease with time. I did go to a Breast Cancer Now Moving on course once I’d finished radiotherapy, it was face to face and I found it really helpful. Thank you for your kind words, its been lovely chatting with you, and I hope we keep in touch too xx
