That should read maladies i phones!!! Suppose i’m just worried how i’ll react when people at work think i’m back to ‘normal’. Whats that exactly?
Heres another single how about ‘what’s normal? If it means i’m like you i’m gladly bonkers’ from our second album ‘Beautifully Bonkers Babes’ xxxx
Got everything crossed for you Mael you get The Royal Marsden. Their central referrals office in Sutton which deals with Chelsea is really helpful. Give them a call in about 2 weeks if you haven’t heard anything. My GP filled out my referral incorrectly so the Marsden didn’t get it. Central Referrals office was brilliant and sorted it for me got an appointment in a week!’
Mael, the under arm scar is the most troublesome for me too, lumps and swelling and I plan for the day I can use deodorant, all this walking and worrying makes you sweat. Maybe not so much swimming and try walking instead, less arm involvement
night night 6B -love love love xxxx
Morning everyone, Sorry I haven’t had a chance to log in…
Update- had my operation finally by 3 oclock in afternoon…By which time I was Very angry, and upset…
I must add it was Not the people at the hospital fault, it was my breast nurse, who told me I would be first in…
I am not going to dwell on the negatives, but lets just say, No woman is going to go through the same…
I will make sure of that 
Its Gone, New Bloob in, and I am home, No I didn’t want to come home I liked it there, but its better to recouprate at home ( apprently ) and I have a nurse coming in every day…
Haven’t had much time to rest and digest what has happened because Friends and my son are keeping me well fed and entertained…
I shouldn’t moan…
My brain is all over the place, I am not retaining any information, which I am Very worried about…
Had better go back to sleep first visitor arives at 9!!
Well I am thinking of you all,
Marsden Hospital they had better take you…
Big hugs and kisses…xxxx
Dawn so happy its all over for you but what a trying day for you. It disturbs me that I hear so many tales on here of Breast Care nurses being crap. It really isn’t on! Think you would manage better without them.
But now you can rest up and its all done. So proud of you. Well done for having such courage to get theough this when you had to wait so long on what is a stressful enough day as it is. The worst is behind you now. Bravo Dawn xxxxx? Now you can start to practise for 6B’s forthcoming tour!!! Lol xxxx
Hi june
thanks, I will let it all heal completely and then get an aluminium free roll on deodorant. Have been rubbing the old bio oil around the breast scar, or dent! and lymph scar hopefully it will not be too bad when rads start. Will get a supply of cream from gp tho, it’s free! Great perks
not going to work today, am going to be kind to myself
I know what you mean about folks going all hush hush, I was vv naughty yesterday I had found out that a colleague who does have my phone number and never once sent a text since I have been off, she was going to have an op on her foot, nothing life threatening, so I sent her a message wishing her best of luck and a speedy recovery!
got a sheepish reply, made me feel better lol
sheena xx
Alison!!!
so glad you’re feeling chipper and being looked after by folk, know what you mean about bc nurses
I could have cheerfully strangled mine a few weeks ago
lots of tlc now x
sheena xxx
That is class Sheena about your work colleague and her MINOR op!!! Brilliant for txting her. I will keep you updated if i encounter similar on Monday back at school. Think there will be alot of moments where I bite my tongue stare into space and think of you lot to keep me going.
Really lucky to have a fab BC nurse now but my first one wasn’t great either. Whats going on? I think alot of them lack basic empathy skills. I think they should have volunteers like us who have actually been through it to listen to patients. I am hoping to set this up at The Royal Marsden for BC first but then would like to roll it out for all cancer patients at the hospital. Forums are very good but I think actually talking to a fellow patient whos been through it at your hospital is much needed! Have a lush day off Sheena you deserve it!!! Xxxx
Dee, I think you’re right, nothing more reassuring than to talk to folk who know exactly how much this whole process affects you. I flaming hate it when someone says you can fight it and other such nonsense. If we could “fight” it then no one would die cos we’d all want to win!!!
rant over, cuppa tea and tamoxifen for me lol
sheena xx
Nice to see you are up and about Alison and that people seem to be supporting you.Dee I know what you mean about people expecting you to be “back to normal” when you go back to work,I think it will take a long time to be anywhere near “normal” again.Finishing treatment is certainly not the end ,the psychological impact of this thing is immense and people who have not been there will struggle to understand.
“Quite an event” is a very apt way to describe it Mael!
We can use our performances as 6B as a means to express our feelings about our new “twisted normality”.I am doing well with the lyrics of my first song “my dented boob” and have some ideas for “green misshapen nipple” think it will be an edgy rock song…
Love the song title…I know BC has already changed me, for the better, apart from a fake bloob!! lol
which I havnt had the guts to look at yet, everyone says its fine, so I kind of belive them lol
Thinking about it they are not going to tell me it looks bloody awfull!!!
Thank you for all your support and deffiantely count me in, in everything that would help any other woman.
xxxx
Mmm interesting concept… I will bear that in mind when I work on it later.
Alison ,who have you been showing your boob to!!
Must confess i’m listening to Fleetwood Mac ’ Don’t stop a class song and very apt for us . Perhaps we’ll do a cover version!!!
Boobs on display what a great title for a Carry On style film with a difference. Like it Jill xxx
Ladies
I am thinking of a Bjork style for my song of defiance “dent me, cant’ break me!”
Dent me dent me
poor battered mammary
you can’t break me
I am a warrior!
then a bit of Bjork’y wailing and jumping around whilst clutching said boobie!
Think I have lost the plot now :womanlol:
Will you get boob out as part of the performance Sheena?
if that’s what it takes Jill, might make the crowd sick tho! Kinda makes me sick! haha
