Hi Debs, Janet and Helen it was lovely to meet you today and I am rally sorry I had to leave early , I did not realise told my friends I wasn’t doing anything on Saturday couple of weeks ago and forgotten all about her invitation and remembered this morning therefore no time to cancel it.

I hope we can meet again,

Take care

Love Gul xx

Hi Gul,

Just wanted to wish you a fab time in Scotland,hope the weather’s kind to you,and don’t forget we want to know all about it on your return.
My husband managed to get a few days off next week,so we’ve booked a few days away in a b&b in Somerset,get back day before my op.looking forward to a change of scenery.

Speak to you soon,

love debs xxx

Hi Ladies,

Good to hear from you Janet,hope your aches & pains are abit better,how’s your sister doing?

Debs,how’s things? Ready for that next chemo on Tuesday?Hope it goes well,it’ll be good to get another one out of the way,was it 6 lots you’re having? I know you want to finish the school term but make sure you’re looking after yourself.

I noticed you’re hoping to make the London meet,I’m taking my mum back to Kings Cross that day,asked her if she minded getting a train about midday so that I could go to the meeting,luckily she understood and didn’t think I was trying to get rid of her.Just got to hope that no hospital appointments suddenly turn up.It’s looking like it could be a good turnout.
Lots of love,

Helen xx

Hi , Helen, Debs and Janet , I was back on Friday very late my flight was delayed two hours, I had a bit of flu on the way back but luckly it is just a flu not swine :slight_smile:

I must tell you about my scotland odyssey holiday , it was the most amazing week, beautiful place , lovely people and food was wow… I cried on my last day, I am so glad that I made it, that I was lucky enough to get a place :slight_smile: One week done so much, seen so much, very challenging life time experience it was for me. I would reccommend it very much and don’t worry about anything, it is such a professional organisation , they take care of you so well.

I am sorry Helen, can’t tell too much about it, they did not make us sign anything :slight_smile: but all I can say is please go and you won’t regret it. Best part of odyssey for me was not knowing what was happening each day was a surprise for everyone and a good one… until the last day…

I am off to Turkey for 6 weeks, I wil be back sept , I hope you are all feeling much better and Helen all the best with your op and I will try and call you sometime before I go.

Lots of love xxx
Gul

Hi Gul,

Lovely to hear from you and really pleased that you had such a great time in Scotland.Maybe when I get the dates for my radiotherapy I’ll be able to sign up for Odyssey.We managed to get away for a few days to Somerset,got back Monday.Weather was mixed but it the change of scenery did us both good.

Had my WLE yesterday.It really wasn’t too bad,even the wire insertion was ok,though I did come over all faint when having the mammogram and had to lie down for abit.They used my PICC for the anaesthetic and the drip too which meant no needles,then I popped up to the chemo unit afterwards and they removed it,so I’ve got my arm back now…yippee!

It’s hard to tell with the dressing on but I think he’s made the incision around the nipple.I’ve an appointment at Queen Mary’s,Roehampton next Wed to have stitches out and find out about margins and I guess I’ll be told how many rads I’ll be having.
Feel ok today,bit bruised,put my sports bra on which is keeping everything in place,makes things more comfortable.

6 weeks in Turkey,how wonderful,hopefully with no surprises this time! It’d be great to speak/see you before you go.Have you seen the post about meeting in London on the 5th August?

Debs,hope you’re doing ok? Has school finished yet? When’s your next chemo?
Janet,best wishes to you too.

Lots of love,
Helen xx

Gul, so pleased to hear about yr holiday in Scotland, even more intrigued now, but makes me want to sign up!! have a fab time in turkey!

Helen , glad you had a gd few days away and that all went well with WLE.Take care for the next few days as it hit me a few days after, lots of TLC needed!

I finished today and boy am I glad, now to rest a bit!!
Janet hope you r ok, and yr sister is doing ok
Love Debs xxxx

Hi Helen, I am glad all went very well with WLE, just take it easy and rest like debs said lots of TLC…You can sign up now for odyssey and if doesn’t happen you can go to next one , it doesn’t matter if your treatments were completed year ago or two. I will try and call you this afternoon.

Deb , I am very pleased for you no more chemo, now you can start making yourself strong and rest as much as you can and try spirulina really helps.

Maybe we could meet again in September.

take care, lots of love
Gul xxx

Gul, i wish no more chemo! I finished work for the summer! 4 more chemo to go! But i was going to ask about spirulina so will write it down somewhere for future reference!

Helen, how are you today? hope you are ok, remember treat yourself gently!

love debs xxxx

Hi Debs & Gul,

Hope you’re both doing ok.

Debs,it must be a relief that term has finished,hope that means you’re getting more rest.Is your next chemo on Tuesday? How’s the hair holding up?

Gul,when do you go to Turkey? Don’t know when my radiotherapy starts yet but it’d be good to all meet up again.

It’s been a funny few days since my op,not too much in the way of discomfort (nice yellow boob,makes a change from a blue one!)but been quite tired and bit weepy.
I have to remind myself that I only finished chemo 3 weeks ago and probably still suffering side effects from that.

Went to see Public Enemies yesterday at pics,not bad,Johnny Depp provides abit of eye candy.

Hope to catch up with you both soon,

Lots of love,
Helen xx
