Hi Angielav,Smiles I’m fec5 tomorrow too, cant say I’m looking forward to it. Really got to the stage that I feel sick at the thought of doing it again. I know the end of this stage is so close but not sure I can do the 6th.Have had a rotten cold for a week so feeling grumpy anyway. Small se’s everyone Chris
Chris - I have that same feeling, I experience nausea as soon as I arrive at the chemo unit.
Just keep thinking we’ve got this far we can do it. And in just over 3 weeks chemo will be done!!!
Hope it all goes well for you and hope everyone else is doing ok
Smiles x
Chris, you don’t have to make any decisions about No. 6 just now. It’s enough that you’re dealing with No. 5 so don’t think any further than that. Baby steps, baby steps…
Good luck to all you mayflies, wherever you are in your schedules, but particularly to those being poisoned this week.
Arrrghhh the joy’s of steroids…can’t sleep, restless legs, hungry!
But while I’m here can I ask is anyone having any allergy problems? My eyes are gritty swollen and runny and the nose…well it’s getting embarrassing!
Smiles xx
feeling sick and haven’t even got to the unit yet for the chemo … deep joy!
Oh, good luck Angielav xx
Good luck smiles too xx
Hello to everyone else. My girls have a hair appointment today, I’m so jealous! I’m glad now I know what happens next but suddenly it all seems so close. I know I have made the right decision re double mx but it seemed a long way off, and now it’s very close and I am a little bit scared! I have opted not to have reconstruction and, as I grew up with my mum having had bilateral mx I do know what to expect. Just scared!
Have a good day everyone. I’m going for retail therapy with girls xx
Good luck all girls getting treatment today,sounds like there’s a few of you. I really, really, really know the feel sick before it even starts thing!! Courage (said in a french accent) tous!
Have tried to start in a chipper manner, but actually my heart is breaking. I have just had to put my darling, darling 14year old spaniel to sleep. It was time and it was the right thing to do, but she was my Baby Girl and I am in bits…
We have buried her under one of our willow trees overlooking our big lake, where we have a lovely swing seat and where our swan is and now he will watch over her…Feeling v devastated, pet bereavement is as hard as human bereavement I think.

Oh Wandy,
extra big hugs for you, it’s devastating loosing a treasured pet, especially after 14 years together.

Wandy I am so sorry you have lost your dear friend and companion. I agree with you completely that losing a much loved pet is just as devastating as a human bereavement.
Virtual hugs.
Oh Wandy, you must be absolutely grief stricken. You need to cry - loads - and loads.
Done EC5 and did the cold cap with a paper surgeons cap under on instruction from Mr Paxman… as my hair is now clippered very short. I managed it … no worse than any of the other chemos.
Had kfc and now due for a nap!! Hope everyone else is ok and not suffering too much x
Wandy-sorry to hear about your dog. My dog is like my 3rd baby and I can’t imagine life without her. Sending you a big hug xx
Oh Wandy, I’m crying just writing this. Pets are beloved members of our families and we feel grief stricken when we lose them, and with everything else going on it’s the pits. Sounds as though you’ve laid her to rest in a beautiful place and a lovely place to go and remember her.

Thank you everyone for all your lovely words of support. I cry every time I read one. Can’t believe how terrible I feel…I know it will get better and I have lots of lovely memories.
Thank you all again my lovely May girls.

Sorry to hear your news, Wandy
We lost our little pussy, Jelly, after 15 years and I was devastated; I never imagined that losing a pet could be so painful. He was buried in our garden and we went to say goodbye to him before we moved house a week ago. We always held full funerals with speeches for pets, even hamsters.
Things I won’t complain about after chemo:
Bad hair days

Shaving my legs
Long hair blowing in the wind and getting in my eyes
Getting poisoned today. Was working it out last night, I am Tax 8 of 15 today so half-way through that. Full regime (ignoring the year of Herceptin) this is week 19 of 24. It’s bloody endless!
Bad hair days
Feeling tired
Shaving my legs
Long hair blowing in the wind and getting in my eyes
Plucking my eyebrows
Hope everyone who had poisons yesterday are feeling OK this am.
