Ouch Choccie, can you stick it in ice blocks and try the old fairy liquid trick?
I’m doing the lie in bit at the moment, I tried to make it into the shower but my nice warm comfy bed called me back and I didn’t dare argue!
Half way is THE PITS! You feel like you’ve been doing this stuff forever and that you’ve still got a tough and long journey ahead. Treats help… Massage? (if you can afford it, or if you can get to a cancer centre where they do it free) At least that particular treat doesn’t affect the waistline! CM - sounds nasty - sooner rather than later maybe… Enjoy the week sans hospital! I’ll be there every day FOR you! How about that for an offer!!! It’s getting so cold in the tent at night - I’m with the kids who put the central heating on! If it wasn’t August, I would have too, but I know I’d never live it down! Made OH put on the spring/autumn duvet yesterday - (and then I was too hot!!!) Might have been the FemaraFlushes of course… Got nails to see to this morning. Two finger nails are lifting from the tips (despite the polish) and my toe nails are kind of “wobbly” at the base, so the path to follow may have nail droppings on it! Nice!
just to add to the lemon theme, someone, somewhere, many centuries ago, mentioned a sticky lemon cake on this website. I found it, tried it and it is absolutely fabulous and GREAT for cutting through the awful taste ocado.com/webshop/recipe/sticky-lemon-cake/1741. (and it’s easy to make too! Enjoy!)
I was well peed-off at the half-way point but 3/4 is even worse - I have several weeks left and am deteriorating due to accumulated poisons.
I need the TakeMySEsAway Fairy please. I hurt!
Oh Ninja - here we go again! Have a very gentle virtual hug! We are all different - I was SO pleased when it was my last one and that I would only have to go through all this **** one more time. Kept me going before it, and almost kept me going through it… but it was **** still. I’m not ready for the champers - don’t feel like it’s over yet, and am fed up with people saying “oh well, it’s nearly finished now, you must be so pleased”… still got rads, and the recovery after that (and I really don’t want rads fatigue on top of chemo fatigue - be lovely to be rid of one before the other bashes at the door of my tent)…
still no hair… BUT I did have a thought … various people are offering me their hair, so I thought if I could find a suitable glue (NOT superglue!) I could stick on the bits that people give me, gray, blond, dark, whatever, and pretend I was a tabby cat!!!
Thanks for the virtual hug, Jane; I have 5 weekly Tax left to go, then 2 weeks off then surgery (then the rest of herceptin year, Rads, Tamox etc).
On top of Tax pains, my nodes are all fecked, my hand’s starting to swell a little, my bad boob gets red patches (Oncy says it’s due to non-existent lymph drainage due to nodes all being fecked) and my arm hurts near the nodes as well.
I just want to start feeling ‘normal’ again whatever that is.
Sorry, feeling really, REALLY peed off today!
Ninja, no need to apologise. You’re having a rough time, so you’re entitled to shout or cry about it now and then. And this is the place for shouting and crying.
More hugs. Very gentle ones, of course.
Cheryl
And a big gentle hug from me too Ninja x
Thanks everyone. OH has made me some soothing porridge and I’ve had 60mg codeine. I may even get out of bed soon.
why?
@GIJaneH - “Like”!!!
Ninja today is a bad day, tomorrow may be better!
As for me, I can see the light …
My OH is on holiday this week - I can stay in bed all day next week when he’s at work.
I had to go to town to pick up a residents’ parking permit - I’ll never make it on public transport on my own next week if I still feel like this.
I’m back home and back in bed now!
Angie - well, take that fluorescent tube off your nose, silly!
;o)
Haha … thanks Ninja … and there was me thinking I was on my way out of these damn woods!!
Hi ladies, I escaped the woods for a few days, we had loads going on over the bank holiday and are just getting back to normal whatever that is.
How is everyone doing, are you all feeling as well as can be expected? My boobie is feeling very heavy and now wakes me up in the night when I turn over. Plus I seem to be growing in the bust area all over, I wonder if its the Letrozole?
I have an appointment with the Oncy on Friday afternoon so will mention it to her, its probably nothing, but worth speaking to her about.
Here’s hoping that all SE’s are minimal for us all today ladies, and lets hopefully meet in the JM this afternoon/evening for a drinky poo and a nice chat.

Morning Woodies. I’m still in my sleeping bag. Will got out of my tent later for codeine; have to go look at sheds today. Can’t beat a good shed.
Shed hunting - sounds familiar! Just the kind exciting outing to make you get out of bed I find (unless of course it is for your own personal use and your OH won’t fill it full of stuff on the basis that “it might be dangerous to keep this in my shed!!!”).
Our new garage is much smaller than our old tandem garage so we need the shed to release space in the garage.
I like tool sheds and I love stationery shops. I don’t think that that is TOO strange, is it?
Oh Ninja I just love stationery shops too, I just love it when you get a new pen.
Actually I love my tool shed (just need to keep hubby out of it!!)and love new pens too! Sorry if I sounded a bit negative about your outing x
And files, folders, and everything! All the lovely jewel colours…
Better than a shoe shop for me. And I adore the smell of new wool carpets on the roll in the shop; and the smell of cotton garments that have been dried in the sunshine.
This is all great therapy - better than thinking about Stalagluft Chemo Hut coming up tomorrow…
