Surgery & living alone

I will do my best to live up to my reputation …

Thanks June glad ur birthday meal was good. Bellinis hey… You’re giving me ideas for tomorrow! Thanks for the tips re post treatment comedown as thats what i’m expecting perhaps midweek when it all sinks in. A good cry is needed sometimes to clear things away.
Enjoy Carlouccios i love it there too. Well i shall be toasting all you ladies in our Bonkers Boobie Club tomorrow. Thanks girls couldnt do this without you all. Hugs Dee xxxxx
Ps. June think this Irish guy does like me but he’s a bit shy so backward in coming forward if u know what I mean!!! Lol xxxx

Now I have had a few bellini in venice where I believe they were invented in Harry’s bar?

I have been on the vino bianco tonight and I will regret it in the morning,  but what the hey!

Boobie buddies bouncing beyond belief,  that’s the name for us!

Hic x nighty night my darlings!  x

Sheena i love that name for our group!!! ?

Dee, you will have had your last treatments today and hopefully you will be living la dolce vita at the Ivy, swanning around like a tit in a trance! 

can’t wait to hear all about it xxx

Mael, did you get a chance to speak to GP re second opinion?  fingers crossed you’ve had some luck xx

I did my first morning at work,  only 4 and half hours and at home didn’t get much done though as I had soooo many emails to catch up with. 

Speak later

sheena xxxx

A bit like 1 D only with bits(of boob) missing and a lot more haggard,oh and female,but apart from that…

Dee, we want a glimpse of the menu afterwards, of course?

 

How Jill is doing today? June?

 

I couldn’t bring myself to phone to my GP, I admit. But I had a call from the original MacMillian nurse, who assured me that my cancellation has gone through and that they will discuss on the interdisciplinary meeting on Wednesday how to proceed. I grumbled a fair bit about everything (but nicely), poor lady, I guess she is used to get an earful of complaints. Keeping the nodes has a very uncertain impact on survival, some consider it to be nil; the NICE guidelines mention radios as an acceptable replacement for the op, so I am at least quite serene about it (unless they keep saying no and we reach a stalemate (stubborn is my middle name)… but let’s not worry in advance).

 

Today I almost gave an infarctus to my boss. I cancelled my days off (I kept one, just to faff about) in the contractor portal while he was in a meeting; five minutes later he came to grab me, all red in the face… he thought they had cancelled on me because of a bad prognosis from the scans :smiley: Me, I had completely forgotten about that possibility. Lol. Like I would stroll casually into work with a big smile on my face… :smiley:

 

For the rest, I am a bit saddish but it’s the first day in ages where I am actually quite chill, and I’ve slept peacefully with no nightmares. My need for control is probably one of the tenets of my sanity (and one of the reasons I am single ;)).

 

How is everyone else’s doing in this sunny Monday? 

 

xx mael

Sheena, oh wow, first day!!!

 

You didn’t pick up the emails whilst off… ? Naughty naughty :smiley: (just kidding, this IS the way to do it!!). Pleased to see the colleagues? 

 

big hug xxx

mael

Stick to your guns,Mael there are perfectly acceptable alternatives to surgery or they would not be offering them as part of clinical trial I was told about.I am going to have a long 24 hrs as I get my results after surgery tomorrow afternoon ,preparing myself for the worst but hoping for the best.

I have a woman surgeon which is pretty unusual, she had a nice manner.I am an eternal pessimist too!I have prepared myself for worst possible outcome more surgery and chemo so that anything less will be a relief!!!My husband is coming with me although he has been a bit of a mess at last 2 appointments, I was calmer than him!!Better to have another person to listen to what is being said though as it is very hard to take it all in.

Thanks Jo.At least this appointment is not as bad as the first one , I know I have cancer so they can’t get me with that one again !!!

Hey Mael! 5B yep, got a certain ring to it! 

glad you feel bit more relaxed and slept well,  your poor boss, must have been a shock haha

I didn’t go into the office just worked from home,  I collected my work laptop on Saturday morning,  hence the number of emails sitting there since 21 May,  I can only connect to Scottish government server with that laptop

going to bed shortly,  early start tomorrow for trip to oncologist.  Maybe a trip to the bottle shop after depending. 

 

Jill good luck with your appointment tomorrow 

 

Dee, I am guessing you are totally wiped out or I could be wrong and you are out on the razzle! 

 

Good night ladies,  catch up with you tomorrow

sheena xxxx

Imma go to bed girlz, speak tomorrow. Sheena, good luck for the appointment – if in doubt, buy yourself some time! *hug*

Let’s all reconvene tomorrow night to catch up. Good night ya beautiful ladies, sleep tight x

Any news, ladies? I will be out and about tonight, so I won’t be writing much, or at all – but I will be checking the thread. Hope the day was great for everyone of you, the best possible. x

Hi ladies,

The Ivy was fabulous and thinking of you I ordered a bellini Mael. Got a bit sloshed on wine and carried on drinking! Well its not every day you finish treatment! Sending hugs girls?xxx

Me and my twin raised a glass and toasted all of you by name at The Ivy as she has seen how you all have helped me. ? Now its my turn to help all of you xxxxx

Btw i had foie gras to start, miso blackened samon and an expresso martini for desert and copius amounts of wine. Finishing treatment feels good girls ? Cheers to us all and enjoy your drinks tonight Mael.
