Starting chemo in September???

Where is everyone? It’s a bit worrying. Not always easy I know but maybe we should try and make an effort. We still need to be inspirational for others!! Love and hugs Stars. I know you’re twinkling somewhere!!

Has anyone heard from Barbara???  She normally posts on Aug FB too but not seen anything from her

Having a little brandy on the rocks hopefully followed by a good nights kip :wink:
Night night stars xxx

Hope Nikki and Blue are doing ok today at the bar. Hazey good luck for tomorrow, will be thinking of you. Hope everyone else is ok - haven’t heard anything from a few of you for a while? xx

Thanks Elma. Yes I am still twinkling but I am suffering a bit today with what I think is called chemo brain. Emails are being sent to the wrong people with the wrong messages. Good job everyone knows I’m an idiot otherwise there could ptentially be some serious issues going on here today!
Just in case I don’t manage to get my head back on straight today, good luck to Hazey for tomorrow. Hope everything is going along ok for everyone else. Love and hugs to you all xxxxx

Hi Gilly, Barbs posted yesterday to say she was home ok but feeling a little’hungover’. They’ve given her the best anti-sick from what I can gather but we’re still waiting to hear from her today. Really hope she’s ok as well. We’re all looking out for her too.

Hi Stars
Just thought I would let you all know there is another Star in the making. Second September thread had come up so I have taken the initiative to invite Noggin over to our thread. xxxxxx

Morning stars
Feeling slightly better today . hazel are u up today? If so my thoughts and love are with you.
Georgina

morning stars,

Hope everyone is twinkling! 

Glad to hear we may have  anew member, hello Noggin if you make across to the star side today.

 

I am not sleeping at all well thi sweek and not even started chemo yet. Think its a combination of things: OH working away and subconciously worrying about the start of chemo which is immienent. xx

Good morning Stars
Lots of love and good luck to Hazey for today and to everyone else doing something they would rather not be. x
Good to hear you are feeling a bit better today Georgina. x
Hope everyone else is doing ok . Everything ok here although metallic mouth seems to have returned this morning. I’ll try not to let it put me off raiding the fridge! Lol. x
Sam, I’m with you on that. My OH is away a lot too so I think I know how you are feeling. Hopefully once you’ve had your first trip to the bar things will settle down and the pleasure of a restful night will return. x
Big hugs to Barbs. x
Love and hugs to all. xxxx

Hello Stars, and a special hello to Noggin when you find us! Hazel hope you managed a good nights sleep, will be thinking of you this afternoon. xx Bonnie, best of luck for tomorrow xx Hope Rachel, Helen and Heather are ok? PTB whatever is in your fridge will be good for you right now so enjoy! Sam when are you up? Wishing everyone the best of days today xx

Avonlady/Jenny you sound as though you’re back to normal already - can’t believe it’s your next session so soon. Hope you’re having fun this week! xx

Thanks Elma. I really don’t need any excuses at the moment to eat. My feelings are it may not last so best to build myself up while I can. xx

Good morning all you lovely stars?
Firstly, good luck Hazel for today, get home safe & well. Hope your bag is not needed!!
Secondly, really hoping that Noggin comes to join us as she’s due to get started next week by the sound of it.
Also has anyone heard from Bobbie lately? Hope she’s doing ok?
Barbs is due home today fingers crossed shed feeling a lot better.
Sam, at least you still have your boys with you. It must be awful oh being away so much xx
PTB, you too re-oh and a good job you have your dogs to keep you company as well
Lulu was around last night. She’s been busy with work by the sound of it to keep mind occupied while waiting for her bronchoscope. Thinking of you Lulu.
Avonlady, great haircut btw, really suits you.
Nikki, hope all your tablets are working wonders for you.
and Blue, is hubby still looking after you? hope you’ve both had a peaceful night and have not suffered greatly with any big bad SE’s.
Maseo, good luck with the hair today. Good choice if you go for Judy lookie-likey!!
Sarah, I know u have Headstrong appt today. I’m sure you’ll get some good tips. Have my appt with them tomorrow as well as collecting the ‘new me’ wig. Still nervous how hubby’s going to react as so different.

For anyone I’ve missed this time, apologies and will catch up again later.

Just have to say as well, I did put another couple of posts on here last night which seem to have disappeared?! So if I’ve repeated myself, when & if they reappear, apologies!

Stay well, rest up all those in need and big hugs to everyone xxx have the best days you can ?

Hi Frenchfancy, I’m collecting wig tomorrow too. Really must try to get some photos on FB. Still trying to sort that one out. The long blonde one should provide a few giggles if nothing else. The hospital one is going to be lots shorter. I just hope I make the right choice. Taking wonderful daughter with me. She could do with a good laugh!
Hope you are not suffering too many SE’s and that you stay well. Looking forward to getting Barbs back on here later.
Little request to all you twinkling stars out there. Could you please try to post a little message here just so that we all know everyone is ok. xxxxx

Hello stars. Sending good luck wishes to all those getting poisoned today or this week. And hope those who have been done are having only baby side effects.

I have my bronchoscopy tomorrow. And my tummy is doing back flips about it… Iv heard quite good reports that its not that bad. But still sounds awful getting a camera poked down my throat into my lung while I’m awake but under sedation so they can take pictures and get some bad cells to see if the mets are from the hormone positive BC I had in 2006 or the triple neg BC I had in 2009 and 2011… Looking very likely to be the tnbc though.

Currently in the dentist as need a tooth pulled before starting on the chemo train… But hopefully won’t be getting pulled today. It’s a new dentist as my lovely one left. Boohoo.

Have any of you booked in to a LOOK GOOD FEEL BETTER session yet. They are brill especially when going through chemo they are just the boost you need to help boost your spirits. So would def recommend booking in.

Love and hugs xxx

PTB, what time will you be on ward for wig? Headstrong appt just after that as well , and have to pop to another depth but if we can arrange a hello at least that would be great. Will have my OH with me, he’s like my side kick! Haven’t been to any appt these past few months without him!
Lulu, good luck at dentist. Hope no other nasty surprises in store there for you x Also had the LGFB mentioned before so must get onto that. Thanks for the reminder.
Speak to you all later Stars xx

FF, my wig appointment is at 12.15 but have one with(breast care nurse) at 11.45. It would be good if we could meet up. I may or may not have my OH with me. He is working from home at the moment and under pressure to get things done, but my daughter will be there. She has been my rock through this and the only appointment she has missed so far was my scan because OH was there . Just let me know when you are in. xx.

Hi all you stars  

 

hope everyone ok.  I’ve noticed loads of you got appointments today and very soon, too many for me mention without me  go through the threads, going to have write things down.

 

Anyway - good luck everyone whether you are having treatment or going  to appointments.  Hazel, best wishes for later, nerve racking, but you will get through it., 

 

Nikki, how are you doing?  I don’t want to speak to soon as they saw, but no side effects as yet.  Had headache, but that nothing unusual for me, felt bit light head.  Had a good sleep, but touch wood ok at mo.  Got  syche myself up to self inject a steriod in my stomach soon  - oh yak.  Not scared of having needles, but never done DIY.

 

xx Deb

Had a phone call from the hospital this afternoon asking me to  go for an ECHO tomorrow at 9 as the oncologist wants it done before Monday- looks like Monday could well be Chemo no. 1 day for me! Now I will **bleep** myself! Posting thi sbut think we are all on FB aren’t we?
