Hi ck
Glad you are managing to do some old normal things and getting some rest x
I am doing okay taking tablets for pain but doing my exercise so it is getting easier
My daughter is not too bad today thank you xx
Exercises really do help. Deep breathing exercises are good too Sue. Is your hair still pink? I’m still waiting for mine to fall out.xx
It is still pink but fading x might recolour it before shave x
Did they say when to expect it to fall out x
Morning Sue
My chemo nurse said 7-14 days and I’m now day 13…so anytime soon.xx
Hi ck hope you have had s good day x
Jen hope you are enjoying your break x
Hope everyone else has had a good day
I have been mostly shopping and of course sleeping I think I am turning into a sloth xxx
Hope everyone has had a good day. We have been frantically shopping and packing ready to take YD off to uni tomorrow. Will be strange being just a couple again after 24 years bringing up 3 children! At least I don’t have anyone else to look after whilst going through treatment
Chaffinch hopefully being 'home alone ’ will give you the time to rest when you need to and give you plenty of recuperation time though I am sure you will miss being in mom mode however you can guarantee she will be in touch constantly. My daughter is married and has her own home but we do not go a single day without talking to each other. My son is at home but only see him when he wants feeding lol x typical lad
I hate having to leave the sea. My heart and soul belongs by the sea. Going to treat myself to a seaside holiday when all of this rubbish is done! Glad that you have had a few days of true escape x
Hi ladies!
I’ve been to work on Fri & Sat night and really enjoyed seeing people.
Chaffinch , I was born by the sea and also lived on an island overseas for 8 years! I love it and I’m coming with you when we are both mended!!!
Jencat, I am so jealous!!!
SueW, I’ve been good. I’m trying to organise things around my ‘good weeks’ . Hair still not coming out and day 16 now.xxx
Taste buds fine atm and eating anything which appeals to me whenever! Fish is still the fave! Sea bream!!! Yummy!xxx
Oh CK you are filling me with hope! Sib so sorry about your sister too, hope tests are good. Hope evetyone is having a good weekend. We have been out with friends tonight and had a lovely night. This journey is always at the back of my mind though. Ck did you do the cold cap?
Hi Ali
No I decided not to as I didn’t want to sit for so much longer and I get headaches easily in the CD! I had my hair cut 3 times, the last one being for MacMillan nurses! Im not too worried abkut tbe remaining fallung out now. Have Coconut ready and hats, wig and satin nightcap.
Tonight I had comments ‘Is it a bad hair day?’ as only wore a hat but I used Brave the shave all night which worked! I stead of questions it was well done:D.xx
Hi ladies
I’ve been out for lunch and with mum and daughter and then a trip to Morrison’s and stocked up as daughter getting off to uni on Friday! Food shopping whilst hungry is not a good idea and even more so when going through chemo as we came back will all sorts of things we dont usually get:0 Figs, walnuts, soya milk, yoghurts, ice cream, blueberry jam, mint coc biscuits, mint aeros, porridge, advocado, fresh ginger, blueberries!
Morrison’s have some anti bacterial cleaning spray at £1 if you need to get more. Garner sensitive shampoo is £2.50 from £3.90. And large Sanex shower gel with no perfume is 2x £4! 500mls of Palmolive anti bacterial hand gel is £1.50 and handbag size is £1!!! I’ve also got some Bicarbonate of soda to drink with water and fresh lemon as researched that this is very good for us to drink or to rinse our mouths out. Also got some plastic utensils to eat with when have the metallic taste in our mouths!
Feeling tired now after a few hours out and went to work Fri, Sat and Sun so now resting after a cuppa and a mint chocolate biscuit!
Made me laugh how the old dears were complaining how cheap the supermarket was looking as its undergoing refurb and I was thinking ’ ‘That’s the last thing on my mind’!!!
Hi Jencat
She’s going on Friday but her lesson dates means that she can come back on Thurs to Sats on occasional weeks. I asked her to come back on my first week of chemo. How about your YD? Hope work isn’t too tiring.xx
Wow ck lots of info think I need to go to Morrisons
I have got lots of unscented showreel and deodorant when it was on sale in boots xx
Evening Lovelies!!
Whilst we’re doing recommendations could I just put a good word in for Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Ginger & Oatflake Cookies (with little nuggets of stem ginger). Delish!!! They’re made from an all butter recipe so not sure if they’ll be too rich for my first chemo sesh. But then I doubt there’ll be many left by Wednesday - or even 9pm!!!
???xxx
Cherry are they worth the calories lol x if so enjoy x
I went back to fat club tonight 1st time in about 5 weeks and out on 5lb so svtad annoyed with myself x
It is hard for our kids how ever old they are. YD has found it hard to leave me to start uni this week. It’s daunting enough without having me to worry about too. She is not too far away and seems to have enjoyed her first 24 hours and is on an organised freshers bar crawl right now so is probably past caring!
Chaffinch
Which Uni is she going to? My daughter worried too but she knows she can come back any week and she feels better seeing me through my first chemo. Mum will be here for the next one.xx
Jencat
I feel it will all plan out. Us women are strong when it comes to getting down to things.xx
Sue and Cherry
Feck the calories and worry after treatment! We look healthier with a bit of meat. Will be popping I to Sainsbury’s soon!!!xx
I love ginger so might be checking out Sainsbury’s too!
She is at Newman in South Birmingham. Small friendly uni which mainly goes education based sujects she is doing education and counselling
