Scaco, you didn’t offend me !I love reading your posts !
I’m actually better today on day after 2nd fec than I was after 1st! Bit sleepy and woolly headed so fingers crossed.
Peachez don’t know about a concrete willy but during all the bad snow my grandson showed me a video on You Tube where her grandson had buily a giant snow willy in her front garden and filmed her coming home. I’ll try to find the link, but If I remember she ends up swearing quite a bit!
Please send the trotsfairy to me asap please!
Good luck to everyone having things done or seeing docs today
X X X Margaret

Sarah.xxx
And there was Peachez, trying to be all proper and demure, helping me float down from my sedation cloud, and I go and spoil it all and drag the conversation down into the gutter! My work here is done!
Tomorrow will be FEC 1 ! Oh my! Saw lovely lady acupuncturist today who assures me that she can help with side effects. Good.
Who needs a cuppa in the meantime?
Amber - I’ve put the kettle on! Milk & sugar?
Here’s hoping Margaret has better luck finding youtube clip than I did
I have discovered karma does work so MG’s ex will get bitten on the
a£e at some point

hello lovely campers,
Whoever has seen Positive Thinking fairy could they please send her back down to Cornwall… she has been replaced by completely down in the dumps pisky, not in the mood for anything other than hiding under blanket on sofa and pretending i’m not here… if i stay still long enough perhaps the boys will make their own tea when they get home??! The weeks are long enough when i’m on my own but for some reason they seem to be going twice as slowly right now…
Fed up from Cornwall!!! GGRRRRRRRRRRR
Sarah, you can have the PositiveThinking fairy that I was given a few days ago. She’s very effective, I found. Just sending her across.
Yes please to that tea. Just milk… or maybe a sugar as well…and perhaps a large slice of cake?
OMG!!! have just had a lovely long pick me up chat with a lady I was introduced to a while back, she is a psychic, I’ve never met her she lives about 300 miles away… Anyway, she is amazing, we talk about twice a month about this and that, and she tells me stuff… I know i know, psychic, yeah yeah, gobbledygook, but she has told me a lot of things that she can’t possibly know about and said names of people dead and alive in my life that she can’t possibly know… She told me after my surgery that I had one more hurdle ahead of me that would be rough going but by the spring I would be fine( I didn’t know at that point about chemo or rads etc) Well in the middle of today’s conversation, she brought up the subject of a book… She said she thought I was going to write a book… I said , funny you should say that… She said all she knows is it has a picture of a lot of women laughing and it would be a bestseller!!! I wouldn’t be surprised she said if It didn’t become a film!!! I told her about the woods and all you lovely ladies and she said DEFINITELY you have to do it… What do you think of those apples!!! xxxx
p.s thanks for the positive thinking fairy, she came back…xxx
Fabulous Sarah, we’ll leave it to you then! Will send you my details and you can send me the royalties! Glad you’re perkier and it must be tough on your own, even in Cornwall.
Met with Cheryl and Donna today, V. lovely and hopefully do it again.
We’ve decided that due to BC sending us to a higher and more superior status (RE:‘You are an inspirational-brave-woman travelling on an emotional journey of self discovery’ comments)to mere mortals without cancer we should all don halos to go with our red triangles of merkiness.
'Bless you all,'she said in a wise inspiring way.

Couldn’t post link but go to YouTube.com and enter in search box -My mum’s reaction to giant snow c*** lol
It was great to get together with SCACO and Donna and Donna’s mum and great to do something normal like going out for a coffee and having a chat.
So what do you think about the halos? Gold glitter? Pink or purple neon? Lasers?
Cheryl
Maybe having FEC3 tomorrow will be a good thing - I’ve got all kinds of memories of feelings during diagnosis etc. rampaging through my head and really need a few days tied to the sofa to get them down.
Now if the woollyheaded witch will keep her distance I can sit on the comfy cushions in a nice quiet corner of the yurt, operating my trusty flamethrower with my foot whilst typing away at my contribution to the award winning Dark Woods epic.
My thoughts on some of the things that have been said here recently… We’re not strong, we’re not brave, we’re not inspirational - just human. We cry, we scream when necessary and we also laugh a lot. Nobody else can understand or has the right to judge. We’re just ordinary women with lives to lead and we’re dealing with what we’ve been given in the way that suits us best.
Enough philosophising - I’m off to dig out those swords for a bit of ex-hunting. And yes, they’re VERY blunt and rusty.

Evening ladies looks like I will be joining a few of you tomorrow for FEC 2. We can hold hands! Thought I was doing really well lately with SEs and emotions but today it all went wrong!. Got up fine and cheered as hair was still in tact until an hour later when it did a Tommy Cooper - j… l… t…! it fell away in my fingers. Oh well it was to be expected but will carry on with the cold cap.
Was panicking over having the port put it but they were marvellous just the sticky plaster bothering me at mo. Paracetamol here I come… Had a local and I think it must make us very emotional as had to get the Kleenex out again today. Or was it the fact that my BCN nurse saw me in waiting room and after asking how I was I did point out that my hand, elbow and fingers a little swollen and achy. She immediately arranged for me to see the Lymphoedema nurse after FEC tomorrow to nip this other little gremlin in the bud. Apparently they massage it and should help with the drainage.
Feel like I am going to a Spa day tomorrow mayble I will call my chemo sessions that from now as sound nicer:) Have also booked to have a reflexologist during my session and will let you know if it helps. Anyone else had this? I am paying for it, but what else can I spend my money on at the moment, apart from the chemist and supermarket. Boy I am looking forward to a good clothes spending spree at the end of the year when finish all treatments and hopefully have lost weight as seem to be piling it on at the moment.
Here’s to a good evening to you all x Adi
I only left the woods for a minute and it has taken me quite a while to catch up! I am really up for the book writing malarkey SarahB and am sending the bringiton fairy and the Youcandoit sprite to cheer you up 
I had 6 FEC and a course of 7 wbc jabby things for each of them. My onc reckons prevention is better than cure. i didn’t really feel any ill effects. I have just had no. 7 of 18 weekly tax, and onc hasn’t given me any more wbc jabs cos my immunity isn’t so compromised.
MG,hope you are not too uncomfortable after your op. Shall we meet up soon?
I had my returning to work meeting yesterday and everyone was lovely. My Head doesn’t want me doing too much and I will start by observing lessons. It feels great to go back. I am hoping that I don’t get too tired, have a bit of tingling in fingers and toes but nothing too bad …yet. My best wishes to all those having a hard time with SEs. They can give you eyedrops to help with streaming eyes, sorry I can’t recall who had a prob with that.
Why does everyone tell me how well I look? Even the BN said it today in the chemo suite.
I reckon I have turned into a bit of a scarey patient lol. A certain nurse sat me down in the suite and I fixed her with a steely glance, all the while the chemo witch was egging me on, and said ‘You are NOT going to cannulate me ARE you’( yes I even spoke in capital letters). ‘Oh no’ said she, Linda will cannulate you. You have odd veins’. Oh no I don’t , I thought. Last time she tried to cannulate me she stuck the needle in and then did a peculiar wiggly movement, caught a nerve and I nearly passed out. Diamond!!
She tried to cannulate the lady sitting next to me, and had to get another nurse to take over… I suppose Crabby by name, Crabby by nature. Thankyou Bringiton Fairy.
But apart from that she is ok lol. See y’all in the JM, mines a pint…of gin!
x sarah.
Adi, I have reflexology and it is superb.It leaves me so chilled and my mood lightens a few days post treatment. Enjoy x
Hi Cromer Sarah, glad you enjoyed your day. Would love to meet up for coffee. I can work my way through large numbers of lattes completely ignoring advice on caffeine and dairy. What the heck, I did all the right things and ended up here anyway.
Sarahbeara, bring it on, books, royalties, films, but most importantly if we are pictured laughing and having fun, it has to be worth doing. How about those interested start by writing a bit on their dx, treatment and how it has made them feel and we start compiling our different experiences. I will pm my e mail address a little later once I have finished being chef and homework monitor.
All those with FEC/TAX and SEs hope you are well. I am throbbing gently and not so gently but the numbness has worn off at least. Results Thursday. Aagh! Feel the nerves building. I am back at work and having fun/keeping busy.
See you in the JM later xx
Good luck for tomorrow Sarah, Jane and Adi, hope it goes smoothly,
Tracey

Can someone please round up a herd of soft fluffy hugs? There’s other seriously shitty stuff going on in my life at the moment that is making me so sad, and a bit scared, and I could really do with a hug. Or ten. Or a hundred. And bring tissues. Lots of them. And a mop for my keyboard, it’s a bit soggy. And it’s nothing to do with the sedatives from yesterday, that I’d be able to cope with.
Thanks.
CM
Good luck to all tomorrow, remember to take the flame-throwers and wear the halos at a jaunty angle.
Hand’s up who wants to do the book. Cheryl and SarahB We need to share emails so we can easily send the same messages and exchange ideas.
I for one am reclining in my tent and thinking creative thoughts.
CM - what’s up???
Sending all the best things i can think of, which seems a bit lame being as you’re so upset.
