Starting Chemo in Coventry

bumping up … bobbie…over to you

Hi have only just noticed your thread Anna/ Jen . left you thread on Rads site .Unless i am called for CT scan I am free next week except for WED 4th.
Perhaps you’ll give Naz a ring and see when she can make it she has my phone no. Love Bobbie

Hiya, not sure I’ll be up for coffee next week, I’m afraid - I have my next dose of chemo next week - Wednesday - and judging by how I have felt the last few times I may not leave the house for a day or two! But perhaps if we can agree a day and a venue for next week I could make it - I should be about on Monday and possibly Thursday (depending how I feel!).

Lots of love, Naz

bumping up - we seem to have lost the plot!!!

Hello how is everyone?

I have picked up last round of tabs for chemo - in 13 days i will have finished this bit.

i have GI Jane hair … hmmm it’s grey but i expected that.

anyone planning on shopping in the next week and hitting the caff?

anna - you must have hair miles long now compared to mine!!

Hi Jen I was on H2 after L1 broke down,’ tell them Bobbie sends her love , have you come across Nadia (student) she was so kind and caring to me, had an understanding far beyond her years. Tam have just kicked in after three weks PHEW!!! Doc said hot flushes will settle down. I have thread on Rads section about burns…you may not want to read them though. I see Caro next Wed @3.00pm. Actually you must read Thread cuz you have to look at my ingenious device for dressings. I will ring next week see how you are doing!!! If it’s any consulation most folks I have spoke to do’nt seem to burn with three weeks Rads sessions. Getting the stupid heebee jeebies about dying again cannot convince myself that it’s nearly all behind me. I am getting really angry with myself cuz I know I am gonna waste what life I have if I carry on like this. Coffee ??? When you finish your. rads I think a big cream cake would not go amiss neither, think we deserve one do’nt you???
Lots of love Bobbiexx

hello you two coffee and cream cakes yummy do i deserve to join in? I also think about the dying issue but is get less of the time i just cant seem to move forwards though
Anna x x x

no need to wait till i finish rads!!! lol i might whinge a bit tho!!! we can do coffee any time… how about next wednesday around 3?

i say summersaults?? can pick u up anna

anyone able to persuade naz?

i enjoy the laughing we do and for goodness sake bobbie - only the good die yound so we will soon sort u out!!!

Hi Anna & Jen See Caro Wed 3.00pm , I ca’nt drive at present due to burns , however Jim has dental appt 2.40 pm Thurs he could pick up Anna and meet you Jen if you could drop us back. Although I may be able to drive by then, I’ll ring you anyhow. Do’nt know about Naz but if it all fits in we could ask her. Spent two hours tonight with fan underarm numb but at present no weeping blisters. So u are going to lead me into bad ways…Good … I need some excitement in my life.
It’s so dull watching blisters dry.
From your breast friend Bobbiexx

yah thursday wd be good for me and happy to pick and drop off - no prob

eek blisters!!! i have pink square on chest after 4… rads person suggested puttign the aqueos cram in fridge fro when it feels hot - she said it might feel eek but is then wonderful! thinking where my seat belt goes, if i get sore i can see i won’t be able to drive either…

thurs sounds good to me…im so bored at the moment have any of you had dealings with kirsten at rugby i need to ask her to measure me for a chicken fillet and for some reason i am extremely worried/ nervous about this
Anna

no but sue said kirsten is good…

when i went for my prosthesis - i still haven’t a name for it… it was v funny - gareth came with me and he and sue were cupping my breast and prosthesis and weighing them in hands… and talking about the weight and feel as if i was not there…and i was just giggling.

can sue (or did you have judith?) do it for you? since you know her/them… it might be easier?? i am only doing 2 days a week at office and rads are at 1.20 so i could pick u up and take you to cov if u can get apptment for late morning/early pm? i dunno - just seems easier to do it with someone you have already had dealings with at beginning…

Hi Jen and Anna Gonna try and see Caro on Mon …In a right b/dy mess , cannot see myself getting through to Wed with this lot. If I can’t drive perhaps you could pick us up. ( Thurs )I’ll ring You Mon and discuss with you then. How do you feel about me asking Maggie and Corrina along they have just finished their Rads and in need of comforting nourishment and the right kind of folks to talk to . Let me know Mon when I ring. Also I will have to get in touch with Naz. Jen agree with you ref BC Nurse for Annas chicken fillet. Did you know that Gill who does reflexology at hospital… also does a home visit for mastectomy bras it may include chicken fillets . Also Shop near College as well lOVE TO YOU BOTH LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AGAIN. Bobbiexx

yes - no prob at all

look after those sore bits!!

thanks for the info about the shop near college i have right problems getting bras especially now i feel embarrased asking for post surgery bras dont know why. Think i might phone sue and explain the situation, I have actually met kirsten and saw her whilst i was in hospital but she completely blanked me so im really not too keen on seeing her, my effected boob is smaller and noticable but a part of me thinks im making a fuss over nothing, but as my mum says im 36 and if a bit of plastic is going to give me my confidence back i deserve it!!!
Anyway dont forget bobbie that there should be a breast clinic at rugby tomorrow morning Im sure they could sort you out there or why dont you go to the walk in centre today, when i had my original surgery i had to go over the weekend cos it just got into a bloody mess and they were brill, really sorted it all out.
