Blimey, this is all getting a bit daft if you ask me. I haven’t been told not to eat anything, takeaway included. The only thing I asked about Actimel and was told that’s fine. On the subject of fish & chips, i happen to be quite an expert. Thats our business! A mobile van, but i have to say, not a greasy burger type. OH spends hours a day cleaning. Chemo or no, there are places i would choose not to eat from and i’m just going to carry on as normal.
I’m the very lucky person that went to Paris for the weekend, 1980, so yes going back a bit, and came back with Typhoid!! No, i didn’t drink the river water. Just ate at a little bistro. So unless we only eat at home for the next 4 months, you never know whats going on behind the scenes. x
Kazz, if you fancied fish and chips for the Pinkies Ball look no further. Need to be “dan sarff” though. My contribution to the BCC fundraiser. With mushy peas too for those from up north! xx
Hey Sarajane (LOVE your name!)
we could go to therapy together to cure our addiction. MUCH cheaper!
Re: takeaways etc… I can’t see how fish and chips could be bad considering they get fried in boiling oil (which would kill bacteria) and are not left standing for any length of time. But perhaps otHer takeaways (Indian, chinese) might be dodgier.
Personally I am doing what Julie said: being sensible.
Having said that I am still eating Brie, I am afraid. And all sorts of blue cheeses covered in mould.
OOPS!

What’s wallies?
I think we def need BCC anonymous. Has any other thread got as many pages!
Actually I don’t think we’ve got a thread anymore. More like a tangle of wool.
Who’d have thought Kaz would start all this with her first question?
Must run. Bone scan today. How much radiation can a body take.
Don’t write too much till I get back girls. C u later.

hi
Trish - walliws = gherkins, and don’t forget pickled eggs! Good luck with the scan
Lulu - thank you, but it has been the bain of my life, cos nobody ever spells it correctly, also I hate being called Sara(h) but am quite happy with SJ. I am also going to have a little brie and stilton at Xmas, it’ll be a treat!
Off to the physio - gosh what exciting lives we lead, at least it gets us out the house!!
SJ snap about the name! I have a very unusual name (can’t reveal it as I would be identified immediately). People don’t know how to spell it OR pronounce it. But in a way it distinguishes me from the rest. Hated it when I was a child…Wanted a “normal” name.
Now I REALLY must do a bit of housework, answer e-mails, etc.
Logging off (for a wee while, that is…he he)

Ladies i get up with OH every morning at 8am and when he leaves i look at the computer and say NO im not logging on untill i get ready and tidied up cos if i do the next thing i know its dinner time and im still in my dressingown and nothing done …so ive limited myself to checking in twice a day (morning and evening) Is this the road to recovery do you think ? or do i still need to Join BCC annonymous.ok i sometimes have a sneaky peak lunchtime aswell …and teatime…and when i have a cuppa…ok i submit put my name down im joining!!! xxx MY NAMES JULIE and im a BCCaholic too.
Typed a couple of posts yesterday but lost them somehow…my OH thinking I’m on here too much as well! Oh well, he’s at work now…
Off to the G.P today - bit constipated…there was some mention of suppositories…NOOOOO! Going to ask about flu jab too.
Meant to be going out tomorrow to a restaurant with friends tomorrow and feel I shoild make an effort as haven’t done much socialising, but just wondering what I should choose to eat now.
Anyone else watching This Morning They’ve just done the interview with the parents of a little girl who died from cancer and I am sitting here with tears streaming down my face - but I don’t know if I’m crying for her, for her parents, for me, or for my children! I think it might be for all of us - and all of you, and all your families… bugger bugger bugger… bloody cancer.
No-one expects to outlive their own children - cant imagine how you put your life back together afterwards. Doubt its possible.
Lighter note - Julie - re hair colour. I recommend Indola colour mousse. I use(d) it to cover my greying roots between having my colours done. Its instant, and amazing for colouring grey. Available in several shades in some hair salons at around 14 quid, but I get mine online at £5.25 from fragrancedirect.co.uk.
Hair starting to come out today - aghhhhhhhhh!
I’ll risk the probiotic yoghurt but won’t get any more when I’ve scoffed this lot, and there was me trying to be healthy!
Glad I didn’t watch This Morning, been in a strangely happy mood for a bit but something like that could just set me off. I’ve kept my calm with the root vegetables as well…maybe I’m building up to some sort of mania, but at the moment just fine, achey veins and still the annoying cold and cough but that’s nowt in the grand scheme of things. Discovered more cat pooh in the box of Christmas decs but just put the lot outside for dealing with later…how’s that for zen calmness!
suzyb - NOT what you want to be hanging on the tree!! My concern is the real tree we’ll be getting - my young male dobie cocks his leg on EVERYTHING outside… have a feeling he’ll be overjoyed that we’ve brought the outside in… just for him! Could be a bit of a ‘shock’ if the lights are on at the time…
Oh, I’m prob. maligning him… he’ll be too busy munching the decorations to worry about peeing.
Ah, the joys and trials of pets…
Hope your tree survives the pooch!!!
I can forgive my wee cat-ling of course as she’s soooo cute but OH has taken to muttering expletives in Spanish (he’s Cuban) and is clearly Not Happy about the pooh situation, have to do some peacekeeping this evening!
well if id known there was some of you posting in the early hours i would have joined. 4am awake today!! did fal back after an hour
im kaz and BCCaholic too… yehhhhh and im so sorry girls but its all my fault, i started the thread in sept, and did i ever think it would have been the best thing i ever did. its sad that we have all been thrown together for this reason,but also we are a true band of sisters now. xxx
julie, thats a shame about the hair color, what do the hairdressers think
triph, i saw this morning, ooo it was sad, but also made me admire the little girls attitude and gave me inspiration , she was gorgeous. her eyes were stunning.
jam123, glad oh going with you xx
minny, love the fish and chip ball, do we get them in newspaper, lol, few months ago i went to the black country museum, and we had fish n chips 1940’s style in beef dripping, fec…ing lovely.
to all those with appointments today, good luck
day 3 post fec2, and im ok, felt sickish again, but its past.
pa, weena, glad you watched the how to feel good naked with kelly, it was an eye opener. her bathing suit was gorgeous, they didn’t say where from, but she went to bravissimo for bra fitting. they do mail order to. but dont think they do actual mx bras.
my mom was dx last year, and had mx no cemo needed, and she had a fitting from there to put her falsey in, but ended up buying pockets for them and stitching them in.
xx
