Thank you feenix. The waiting game is awful isn’t it but then the day arrives and you wish it hadn’t. In someways it’s a good thing as I feel I have had 3 weeks of feeling pretty ok with the odd blip and it is recovery time also as physically I feel great and seem to get better daily.
Angel dust hope you are recovery well
Terrible me I forget who is still left in this thread sorry ladies and anybody else I have missed.
Speak laters.
Morning ladies,
Gill, breathe. My next appointment is 6/6 pre starting chemo so I have a month off having cancer sort of, it’s great.
Chill, you’ll be fine. Whatever comes next you’ll deal with it.
Sally
Gill thinking of you today- pop the big brave pants on, we are all holding your hand today, do you have someone going with you?
Had my first melt down at 2am - that horrid wave of anxiety and dreadful thought ahead of appt on Monday- got up and havent been back to bed- dozed for a short while.
Hugs to all xxx
Hi Jem. Dam gremlins hey. Have hubby and daughter going with me. Hubby not good with this kind of stuff at all and would probably be better staying at home but he wants to come along and daughter going for second set of ears and to take notes if need be. I’m usually pretty good at the taking everything in but could be different today. Ok st the moment as been doing some breathing excercises on Sally’s orders -:). It has helped because my breathing was very shallow and could go hypo which will happen later I am sure. Time to try and eat, this could be fun will probably take an hour to eat one round of toast. Speak soon. Xx
Hi Gill sorry you are so anxious today, all this waiting is too much sometimes. You are strong and Sally is right breath - in through the nose, hold, out through mouth- repeat constantly?. What time is appt?
Hugs, you will get through today and come through it whatever the outcome - I am hoping for low score for you my dear. Xx
Appointment is 15:45. Just got to accept what will be will be and yes I will manage it one way or another as I know there’s not much of an option but…that score might be low. Thank you for the messages they really help.
Just think Gill you could be me. Stayed at sons last night and now I want Starbucks but there is an obstacle. 105 stairs and no lift! The going down is fine. Coming back up, not so much. Still my oncologist said to make sure I do exercise that brings on a sweat and makes my heart pump!
These stairs do it for me.
Sally
Lol Sally. You should have gone to costa. Go girl count them steps and breath and think latte lol. Or imagine it’s a g n t. Bless ya you make me smile. Did you enjoy your day with your son. How’s he getting up the steps he’s on crutches. Oh you bringing it down to him then go back up for yours. Enjoy.
Hi,
He’s still working from home and hasn’t been outside the flat for 2 weeks poor thing. Him and his girlfriend are going to her parents in Brighton tonight for a week so he’ll see the outside again.
The stairs did bring on a sweat! The last flight are the steepest which really isn’t what you need! A cappuccino and a croissant soon sorted me out.
I couldn’t even be bothered to dress properly and just pinned my knitted knocker inside my shirt. Too hot for a bra.
Sally
Sally ?thank you for making me laugh- hope the latte and croissant were worth it.
Done my 5km today- may need to think about raising my heart rate soon.
Oops cappuccino not latte!!
Don’t be trying to convert me to the latte filth!
Hey I’m a latte girl.
Latte (unless iced) is nearly as bad as sea filth. I don’t eat any of that either
Not long to go now Gill. Good luck and be careful when you sit down. Don’t forget we’re all in the pockets of those knickers with you! xxx
Oh and as you’re talking lattes etc, I discovered coconut milk mochas recently, because I’ve cut dairy from my diet. Devine. It’s like drinking bounty bars! Xxx
Fairy Dust - sounds lovely. If I need chemo - am assuming I will- dairy free from Monday- it sounds like 1 thing to look forward to. I have hemp milk with my porridge now- acquired taste but got use to it now.
How are you doing?
Hi ladies. What a day. Hypo ventilated again!! Good news onco score was 22 so on the low end of intermediate therefore the oncologist recommendation it will be 15 + 5 radiotherapy sessions and anastrozole for 5 years. Apparently my cancer had a very high hormone level so tablets was the best option. I am so relieved. Thank you all for being their for me today and hope I didn’t squash to many of you when I almost fell of my chair and fainted. Handing back the big pants all washed and ready for use. Thank you again. Will speak tomorrow and hope you ha e all had a good day. Xx.
Great great news Gill, huge hugs. Have a good evening xxxx
Great news Gill,
Radiotherapy is a doddle (well it was when I did it a dozen years ago). Just stock up on the aqueous cream and you’ll be good to go.
Sally
