Doh. Chemo brain alert. I have managed to get the date of my mammogram wrong. It turns out it is on the 29th August. The same day as I am meeting you lovely ladies. Don’t get me wrong, I am still coming, it’s at 9.30am. I will just be mental with stress and probably drunk.
The first “routine” mammogram after my surgery. Why would I forget that? It’s not significant. I only have to walk back into the rubbish breast clinic where they misdiagnosed me a year and a half ago and trust them to do a proper job this time. I only have to stand there with my one boob and let them squash the other one whilst thinking about cancer and all it’s evil treatments. I only have put on a brave face and pretend I am not convinced that I am riddled with cancer and that I don’t mind waiting for the result and that I don’t expect any special treatment or consideration from the very busy staff who all have much better things to do. I only have to not think about the other times I have been there. I only have to not think about cancer. I only have to not think.
On the other hand, I can’t think of anyone else who would understand this, apart from you lot, so I am really glad that it is you I will be seeing afterwards. Promise not to go on about it, especially after a glass of vino.

oh Cress, wish i could be there with you for some support, got my appointment through for my yearley anniversary mamogram its on the 20th November so quite a while away yet, and you can go on about it as much as you want to, thats what we are all here for. xx

Hi All crackers. Seeing it’s not the festive season I thought maybe we called ourselves the crackers because we are bonkers… Speaking only for myself of course.
Cress, I totally, totally get where you are coming from. I’ve just had a really harsh text from a friend saying I havecto be more positive, comparing me to people who had had car accidents or tough childbirths. They’re ok now, which is great but they also don’t have the threat of secondaries or reoccurrence. I suppose it will get better with time. It’s proven that potentially we could all be suffering from PTSD!!!
Lots of love.
We will get through this. Thank goodness we have each other x

Thanks girls. Mandy are you coming? I have pmed you.
Comparing BC to being in a car crash. Hmmm. I was in one of those too, but the lorry didn’t back up and hit me again, and again, and again. It didn’t wait for me, out of sight, and then suddenly hit me again. I think he just carried on up the motorway and eventually went back to Spain.

Just posting this to prove that I can. Anyone else mastered it?
Hello Crackers.
Hope you’re all well and that you enjoy your party.
Cressida-hope the mammogram goes well.
I’m back to work after the holidays and feeling fine though every single physical twinge freaks me out.
White blood count still abnormal but only a little. They keep taking blood so feel a wee bit like a vodoo doll!
Cress how did you manage to put your picture of marmite in the picture box cant figure it out

Click on “my profile” (over there, top right) then “avatars” then “upload avatar” then browse your own computer for the pic you want, then go through a couple more random steps to alter the size of how it appears, then go back and do it all again cos it went wrong, do this a couple of times, then give up and save whatever version you have managed to upload. Then have a cup of tea, wondering if it is all worth it.
Next week I think we are a select bunch of between 4 and 6 of us. I have the mobile numbers of everybody (oh, the power). I am meeting QD off the train, so we will be there first, so anyone can join us at any time that they can make it. Any crackers who may have logged back in due to the forum shaningens and want to join in are very welcome. It’s never too late to join in. It’s not as if I have actually organised anything.
Really looking forward to it, xxxx
You can also bookmark this thread by choosing thread options (just above the top of the thread) and selecting bookmark. Then it will appear at the top right of your screen and you can short cut straight to it without all the extra steps they have put in to “improve” the forum.
Done. Thanks Cress.
What have you done Maire? You still look like a pink bus. That doesn’t sound very nice when I read it back. Oh well, I feel like a bus myself. Have put on half a stone in one month and I still have another month before I even see the thyroid specialist.
I can’t seem to put a smiley face in the message. A smiley face would make me calling you a bus seem OK, xxx
ive done it thanks Cress hope i dont look like a bus lol x
I’m still a bus…but I’ve bookmarked this thread.
Feeling extremely rough today after a few glases of vino at the Horseshoe Bar in Glasgow last night so will leave the updating of profile photo until my brain works.
Have I actually got to the right place? Cress I pm’d you too. Don’t think I’ll make Thursday. Got loads in with kids and don’t get back from hols until Tuesday. If I don’t this time will deffo make next time. Hope all crackers ok. Can you believe we’re all getting to a year past diagnosis? I can’t. Still feel pretty rubbish . Am severely lacking in the energy depart’ment. Lots of love all. Mxxx
Hello
Thought after getting the emails about the new site I would catch up after months.
Have a lovely evening when you meet , I look forward to posts and pictures.
Glad everyone seems so positive. I am still on the 3 weekly herceptin routine till Jan 2013, but its quick and no real side effects.
Best wishes MZ
