I agree Jill. That is not on Dawn to keep you waiting when they know the surgical list for the day. Why have you in at 7.30am? . At my hospital afternoon ops come in at 12pm. Well i hope by now you are safely having your op. Thoughts with you. Xxxx Sending love and hugs xxxx You can do this xxxxx
Dawn, hope everything went well and that you’re now awake and sated. I totally solidarised this morning with your irritation (I was in the office and couldn’t write much) as in any health care situation one has to surrender control a bit (something I begrudge to do) and so one expects the others to be charitably honest and attentive, which alas is not always the case.
A big hug to you, and to the 6B as a whole.

sleepy mael
Hey Alison
hopefully sleeping soundly with lots of medication, gotta love a bit of morphine
mael, hope you’re doing ok? work not too bad x
Dee, giving it big zzzzzzzzzz’s
up early to take James to work and then off to see onc, finally serene as I have decided to say a big NO THANKS to the kind offer of chemo, and hoping that I can get a good night’s sleep
battling with emotions and family and friends who love me and want the best for me but I think I have made the right decision
will catch up tomorrow
love to you all xxxxxxxx
Thank you cara verdi! X X X will give you all the latest tomorrow
are you feeling calm just now about your next appointment?
Bravo Sheena think you have made the right call. Heres to living la vida loca!!! Xxxx?
Good afternoon 6B
Home from hospital, long long walk, 7miles today! Said no to chemo and feel free of the burden now. I have a box of tamoxifen, mm yumm and tonight I am going to open a bottle of champagne I’ve been saving for a special occasion. Think this is one
Now just desperately want to get on with rads
only issue I have is that I feel very emotional and quite exhausted, sleep has eluded me for weeks, maybe tonight will be a dreamy one
how is everyone today? Any news, also wondering how alison got on
hugs
sheena xxxx
Really glad Sheena you feel more in control of everything. I felt relieved when i said no and haven’t looked back. Double bonus now as your treatment will finish earlier. Tamox and rads are fine and me and June can help you with any questions. Your over the worst now Sheena. Bottle of champers why not!! You deserve it. Cheers to you being able to start living again? Really pleased for you xxxx
Hi Sheena,glad you feel better, enjoy the Champers!Does this mean we are are on for the gig at the O2 with 6B?
Of course Jill we as 6B take on the 02 with our second single ‘My Body My Rules’ out next week! Cheers girls. ?xx
Sheena, well done and relax, you’re off the hook. Time to reassess and reclaim your life. Things will be good x
Dawn, any news? How are you dear?
Had a bit of a rough day physically, shoulder hurts, everything hurts but… Went out to our pub night for our products release and had a fab time. Not sure how i’ll make it home but v. fullfilled.
Nite 6B, gonna hail a cab x
Glad you had a good time Mael. And yes sending Dawn our thoughts. Hopefully she had the op by now and is recovering xxx
Good night lovely ladies
Fizz finished, love you all
Great idea to get scan results mael, funny thing is when I was with onc she had my file open and I saw what looked like a letter to my gp so I asked for a copy! and then she said, "will copy you into all letters in future " felt very proud lol

Afternoon 6B :)
GP is referring me to the Royal Marsden. Terrified at the thought of further delays, but at the same time relieved to be given an opportunity to sod off from Charing Cross Hospital. I just hope they say yes…
I am not the most patient patient in the world but I find unforgivable that I still don’t know the results of the scans, nor I’ve been involved in the least in decision an’ stuff, nor I’ve been explained the situation, and I still don’t know who my oncologist is, that my surgeon is about as nice and cooperative as a bout of piles, etc etc (I could carry on for an hour but I’d better work). Hope you gals are doing wonderfully x
Hopefully Mael, at the very least you may have more confidence in the people who are advising you about life changing decisions and feel like they have more respect for your thoughts and wishes.Fingers crossed for you.PS I am still rubbish at keyboards but am getting quite good at the mouth organ can this be used in the set?
Hey Mael, that’s a bit of good news, dee cannot praise Marsden enough, I’ve read that delay in terms of weeks doesn’t make a whole lot of difference. Good move madam x
I took my first tamoxifen today, fell apart whilst working at home, IT issues whilst connecting remotely, decided not to go to work tomorrow, **bleep** to it all, gonna have a couple of days off x
how’s everyone else today? XXXXX
Hi mael
I just think that I need a tiny little bit more time to get my head around the last few weeks
I’ve been “hiding” how much it has been affecting me to my friends and family, you know how it is, gotta be strong and not let others know how dreadful you really feel because you don’t want to upset them. I think I will have to go gp to see if I need something to get me through the next few weeks
it’s funny how you think you are invincible,lol
I wonder how Alison has been, I hope she’s ok
lots of love
sheena xxxx
I am delighted Mael that you have been refeared to The Royal Marsden is it Chelsea branch? Its the world leader in cancer care and i cannot recommend it highly enough. The whole atmosphere of the hospital is fantastic and you get to know everyone on first name terms. I think it helps that it is just a cancer hospital so theres a certain cameraderie between everyone. Its such a place of hope!
Sheena i go back to school teaching full time next week, dreading it to be honest but at leadt ive got the summer hols. Do ask your GP for help being on anti depressants theoughout this has really helped. Ive never had anxiety before or depression but this knocks you sideways and you need time out! You need space away from work to come to terms with what you are going through. I hope to do this in the school summer holidays ? Hugs Dee xxxx
Btw triangles and bongo drums welcome. Perhaps a future single could be ‘Do you want the old me or the true me?’ And ‘Tell me about your mundane maldadies one more time!’ Xxxx?
