Hello lovely ladies,
I’ve had probs logging on to reply lately, but all seems okay today. I hope your week off is going well Doz. I’m sure you will have a lovely time in Sept too, how lovely. Hope your long catch up with your friends goes well too. Enjoy your appt free time as well.
Stella, hope you didn’t overdo it helping your boy to move. Like you say it’s exciting the first time. Look after your shoulder too though. Glad the femara is helping too, enjoy your garden whilst you can.
Elsa Jane look after yourself at work too. So easy to get sucked into doing too, too much and paying for it later. Glad things are going well too.
Jane, hope you are okay and not too tired? You do work hard petal! I am lucky so far with no lympho. I know it can creep up on you a couple of years after, but so far so good and that’s been with flying, insect bites and cuts and scrapes.
Em the christening sounded just lovely. I know what you mean about being treated normally. It’s great. I was out last night with colleagues, many of whom who I have not seen since BC. It was great not to be asked about it at all!
We have had two or three nice days here, but not the glorious sunshine which you have had in England. I am enjoying being off with Lewis. Been totally misbehaving diet wise for the last 4 weeks but hoping to get back on track with a healthy shop this week!
Our oldest boy was married in Mauritius yesterday. it was quite emotional, in a virtual way. Looking forward to catching up with the happy couple next weekend at their party. They don’t want to wait too long for children either. I would never take being a granny for granted. I think a lot of assumptions are made abot fertility issues! We do joke that we need grandchildren so that Lewis has children his own age to play with.
We are going to head over to my mum’s today for a catch up, then do something nice with Lewis and that healthy shop! Looking forward to watching all the Olympics coverage. I have finally started my training for the 10k proper and am feeling a little more confident. Only doing three runs a week because I know once George is working away I will struggle to get it done. I get so bored on the treadmill!
Take care ladies, flutter gently and sorry I have not got around to all of you. Never quite get peace to do this! xxx
Hi everyone just caught up with posts had a busy time lately so now have time to write.Shoulders seem to be a problem for a lot of us.When I was first diagnosed I had a painful shoulder so it was very hard for me to lift my arm up so Ifound Radiotherapy quite painful as I couldn’t move for a while and couldn’t put my arm down as shoulder was so stiff.Thankfully it seems to be okay now and x ray showed arthritis so I try to keep it moving.
Hope you have all had some sun this past week it has been cloudy at times here but warm so sleep disturbed by heat.Never happy are we ha ha.
Hope everyone is doing okay and any apps etc go alright.I am having my annual M.O.T on 16th Aug so hope everything is fine I feel okay but sometimes my B.P goes haywire.
Glad you got Femara Stella I know I am much better with it than the generic Letrozole and my pharmacist did agree with me so there must be something in it.
I was going to do 10k race for life with my daughter in law but we had to cancel as she has enough to cope with at present.Hope all of you who will be watching enjoy the Olympics I will be watching some of ot as hubby will no doubt have it on all day long.Take care everyone and enjoy your weekend.I am off to Dunfermline on Monday for a few days so will catch up when I get back love and hugs to all Janice xxx
Hi Flutterbys just a quickie today… just read Janice’s post and it suddenly dawned on me that my palpitations (missed beat) and painful shoulders started 2 days after I got my new pack of Letrozole??? AND they are’nt Femara??? They are a different brand (Actavis) when I questioned this at the pharmacy they just said its all about cost and I didnt give it another thought but now I am wondering if its that??? My Dr did say the problems i’m having could be the Letrozole hence the blood tests along with the ECG…
…
I have just rang the Pharmacy and they have told me to ring the Dr on monday to explain about the change He said its all about cost, and something in the generic form could be disagreeing with me??
Kind of feel a bit easier now there may be an explanation to why I feel so rubbish 
Thankyou flutterbys 
what would we do without each others knowledge bless ya
Have a lovely weekend… Olympic opening ceremony ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I had a few fill up moments especially the beginning when they children sang Jerusalem… my favourite song
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXHUGSXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Its my favourite to Doz we stayed up till one as well so tired today.I am def better on the Femara and aches and pains much less and no headaches which I got with the letrozole good luck with getting them sorted I had no problem with my G.P she just changed them.Its bad enough taking pills without them disagreeing with you.XXX
Thanks Flutterby early night all round then I gather…
We stayed up till around half one then I was up at 8 to watch it again… I dont think i’m going to get much done over the next few weeks ha ha!!!
I will ring the Dr and see what they suggest xxxxxxxxhugsxxxxxxxxx
Hi girls
Well, I haven’t much to report! There’s not much happening here…suppose that’s good as I like normal! What a rotten thing to do, Doz, to the flat. Bet you’ll be glad when it’s sold and done with. However, what brilliant news about Vikki’s medical insurance, what a weight lifted! I’m glad Ben is OK now. That little jig they do is so funny. Mine does it when he’s had a shampoo, although these days he’s so old he’s likely to fall off his legs! He also bends his head and charges at the towel like a bull. Planning for a holiday sounds good. We can’t go because of the dog. He’s too old to put in kennels but then we never have, and there’s no one to leave him with. He’s too old anyway to expect anyone to look after him. Ah well, I can live in hope! Hope you enjoyed your barbeque, the weather here has been great. Enjoy your day with friends tomorrow, you deserve it!
Oh, Emmy, I’m so pleased you’re enjoying life a bit now, the Christening sounded a happy event for you and being well enough to enjoy it at long last. Soon be Aussie time, hope you’re packing those sandals you bought!
Jane! All that jam! It’s always lovely to make your own stuff. I used to make all sorts of things but these days we just get fat if we eat it so I don’t do much! Do hope your aggrannoying lympho is a bit better!
Stella, sounds like you’ve had a nice week with your family. Hope you enjoyed sitting in the sunny garden with your book. What are you reading? Careful of the sun on your tender scalp and new hair! Great you’re able to be free of the wig now, flutterby.
Elsa-Jane I don’t remember anyone telling me how long to do the exercises for, after surgery. It seems quite a long time ago now, so perhaps I don’t remember! Looking back, I suppose I’ve been lucky not to have any problems.
Carolyn, have you been good and done your healthy shop? More to the point, are you now eating it??? Ha ha ha! And congratulations on your boys marriage!
Janice, hope you’re enjoying the games. But don’t get withdrawal symptoms in Dunfermline, will you!
Hope you’re OK Yvonne and anyone else reading.
Hugs all round. Ami xx
Exercises - I was told they were for LIFE!!! And certainly my lymph started when I stopped them (feeling too rough through chemo to bother…) The moment you get rid of that wig and feel you can go outu without it is FAB - remember it well!! Well done Stella! Lots of people seem to have a reaction to the generic femara… fortunatly, it doesn’t seem to make much difference to me, but I know it can.
Yesterday’s little “blip” was the breaking of a temporary crown I had fitted last week! Why does it alwalys happen at the weekend??? Anyhoo, the emergency bods told me to go to a supermarket and buy “temporary filling” and put that in - works a treat! It’ll certainly keep me goign till tomorrow. I had to redo a bit this morning, but it’s easy and OK… never knew about that stuff! Passing it on!
It’s not the jam that makes me put on weight, it’s what I put it on!!! Eating carefully till I see the dentist, so the pork chops can wait! Jam and brioche for brekkers, rather than nutty meusli! we too are planning a holiday… exciting…
have a lovely day…
Jane xxx
Morning Flutterbys
Like you Ami I’m really bad at remembering some things and now when I look back on the day after my op I think the brain only took on the words “You can go home now” the rest was an anxious rush of get me out of here… I do remember the physio saying about the exercises and as Jane has just said it possibly was for life come to think of it… and due to the fact I hav’nt been doing them regularly and still having problems with my shoulders I think I need my wrist slapping I have been trying to do them regularly for the past few weeks now and they are feeling a bit better
I know how you must feel about not leaving your pooch bless him, Ben has been a couple of times now so he is’nt too bad but Alice used to sulk like mad when she had been in kennels it took her a couple of days to forgive us bless her… we’ve had a couple of BBQ’s this week I bought too much for the first one so we had to have another to clear up ha ha!!! Thats my excuse we had been forecasted rain for the past few days but as yet its still to arrive, and as I speak the sun is shining so I will not jinx it by saying any more!!!
Jane I heard about the temporary filling from my son last year I didnt know there was such a thing either but I know it worked for him… good stuff Hope you have a pain free day!
We received some very sad news yesterday, my sons friend Pete was taken into hospital with suspected Meningitis and today we had the news that he is in a coma… the Doctors have said there is very little they can do for him now… so some magic flutterby prayers would be appreciated He is such a lovely guy who would do “anything” for “anyone” its so unfair
Love and hugs to all xxxxxxxhugsxxxxxx
Hi ladies
Back to work today - son all moved into new house at Alderley Edge. Its lovely up there, some beautiful houses.
Doz, sorry to hear about your sons friend - such awful diseases that come completely out of the blue. I’m sure we’re all saying a prayer for him.
Hope you managed to sort your Femara with doctor. Is anyone on the anti depressant sertraline? I’ve been taking it for four weeks now and did feel better but seems to be affecting my sleep - keep waking up and can’t get back to sleep - frustrating. Just wondered if anybody else had any views on it?
Ami - I’m just reading a Jill Mansell chick lit book - nice and easy not 50 Shades of Grey that everybody seems to be into at the moment!
There seem to be posts on here that weren’t here when I was last on - if that makes sense!
Elsa-glad work is not too bad, it gets better.
We’ve had sun and heavy showers today - sun at the moment so no doubt will throw it down when I go for my bus.
Take care everyone
Stella xx
Oh Doz - prayer for Pete right now… poor love and his poor family. SO unfair!!! One of the “OK God, what are you up to” sort of prayers I think…
re exercises for life - it was the BCN AFTER the lymph appeared that told me that!!! Could have done with it earlier, and maybe I’d not have lymphodema… but maybe they said and I didn’t listen/hear. Quite possible.
Had my mammogram this morning - very quick (if not painless!) Appt with surgeon next week, then I think that’s it for another year.
off to see what’s olympic love Jane
Hi all! I too am sending prayers for Pete it is so unfair when these things happen. I too have been plagued with Lymphodema but I think this hot weather (I loved it!) didn’t help my reflexologist tells me a lot of ‘his ladies’ have had recurrences with the heat so I am wearing the sleeve and got an app for end of Aug so I am well prepared for my flight on 10th Sept! I don’t want to spoil things as for the sleeve it has really helped at my last measure the arm was actually slimmer in places compared to my ‘good arm’ so it does do the job. 
Jane sending all good wishes and ‘the hand’ which I am sure you will not need but then it won’t hurt along with a hug! I was shocked at your wage cut! I know your job is a vocation but taking the p–s comes to mind it is so wrong! 
ami I did giggle at your doggy not for falling over but 'cos he sounds so sweet and I am sure he is a little love, as for not much going on enjoy I certainly do! yes I did enjoy the day but was so tired when we got home but mentally flying 'cos I DID IT! I know I get sort of spurts of energy then end up being wiped out for a day or two! I think I need to try to space things out a little more but yes very satisfying to do a few bits and be happy with that! makes me wonder if all my flying about pre bc was really clever??? Not getting too bothered now I just do what I can when I can but the thing that is really great? No runny nose, well not nearly as bad as it was! 
Stella I am taking Mirtazapine and it has so helped me but it does take time to settle I was told around 6-8 weeks and my moods aren’t as acute though I still can get tearful but not as much as it once was thank heaven! I was such a weepy wreck along with flashes of anger for no good reason! I would give it a bit longer but don’t leave it too long 'cos going without sleep sort of defeats the point of taking anything. 
Carolyn I hope the healthy eating is working? I am sort of stuck at losing 3 lbs but no more though I have tried so hard and given up all the bad things along with doing the chair exercises! I will now be realistic and know that it isn’t going to fall off before the hols though I am sticking at it as I feel a bit better trying! How lovely a wedding! I love them our last was our son’s two years ago and that was lovely it is a real feel good affair isn’t it?
Stella I was laughing at your NOT reading 50 Shades 'cos we looked at the books in a well known supermarket ,they had gone down and there was an old boy stood there telling us he has bought all three for his wife and if they didn’t work he was bringing them right back! He was seriously around 80 or so which made us laugh not in a bad way it was just so unexpected! I am afraid I too can’t be faffed I read Lady Chatterley (in secret when I was 16!) and was so not impressed, I just got bored! 
Janice i hope you enjoy your time in Dumfermline and the weather was kind, I was asked when I went to see specialist about my arthritis about what tabs I am on (Arimidex) and she said to stay on them and not change as my body will get used to it! She also pointed out that many of the drugs we take tend to have some sort of side effect so it was better to stick with what I know! Hmmm! I will see!
Jane I so hope things are going well at work for you, I am still as mad as a wet hen (Jane1 did you ever ask?) at the treatment you have had having to use up leave as part of phasing in it is so wrong on so many levels! 
I hope I have managed to get everyone? if not please accept my apologies as has been said we are ever growing in numbers! I hope this weather isn’t too horrible for us all it is looking like a rerun!!! Where on earth have they put our real summer? Take care flutterbys and gently flutter those shoulders! Spoons, love and a Big group hug Em xxxxx

oooer! Took ages then posted two! Sorry flutterbys! x
Hello everyone, and especially Ami who I missed out last time!!!
Can I add my healing thoughts to Pete and family too please? Just rubbish. It’s just a horrible, helpless feeling when someone is in that position.
Ami, what a shame about your dog. It is tricky as they get older though I know. My mum and dad went away very little during the last three years of their dog’s life for similar reasons. Without sounding mercenary they are making up for it now, although mum did confess to having a look at the rescue dogs recently!!
Exercises? I was told 8 - 10 weeks post op! A friend of mine who’s a BCN has told me that lympho often presents 2 or 3 years later. I know that I am certainly back to all my naughty habits. Gardening without gloves and hauling around furniture and bags of compost. I was paranoid about insect bites etc at first.
How is Dunfermline going Janice? I am just along the road from you just now. In fact we were at Dobbies yesterday and got some lovely plants to fill a space where I have eventually dug up some ‘failing to thrive’! Today will be a cleaning day for me and then it’s off to Perth Races with OH’s work tonight!
Next week I am hoping the school will be open so that I can start to set up the classroom, but trying not to think too much about working just now.
Ah Emmy getting closer to your hols now. I am one of the women who has got 50 shades of grey! Everyone at work was reading it and passing on their copy…but I have to say I got three chapters in and have passed it on. It is pretty dull! Mind you I’ve never really been into the chick lit stuff. I like my gorey/ grizzly forensic/ murder stories i.e Reichs and Karin Slaughter! I have had another week where I don’t think my weigh in will show a loss, but I have managed a proper week of training so will have done some good I’m sure. I need to get the measuring tape out at times like this because it doesn’t always show on the scales! (She says in hope lol!). I know it’s frustrating Emmy. I was told to wait until my weight gain had stopped/ slowed by my ONC and then tackle it.
Jane - glad the mammo is done and dusted. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Stella. I hope you do manage to get your sleep sorted out. Not easy when you are trying to cope with working as well. Glad your son is all moved in safely too.
Doz, I think I have already worn my OH’s resolve down with the Olympics coverage! I thought the Opening Cermony was wonderful. It would be very easy to watch the coverage all day. Very exciting stuff! I am going to have to be a little more disciplined today though as I’ve said and get some cleaning done!
Janice, I’m glad your GP changed your tablets without a fuss. It is nice and important to be listened to on this journey!
Take care lovely ladies, I am still sat in bed in pyjamas. Time to get up. ( Even though I could sleep all day! lol ).
Carolyn xxx
Morning ladies
Emmy, thats brought a smile already today - the 80 year old man buying the trilogy - hope it worked for him! I’ve got to see GP again end of August re the sertraline so will try to stay with it til then. It has helped my tearfulness definitely.
I’m quite lucky at work at the moment as in reception we have a TV and I’m allowed to put the Olympics on (usually its BBC News all day) so not much work being done.
Carolyn - you are good doing some training and healthy eating as well. Do you get tired? I always seem to find an excuse not to do the exercise but a lot of the ime I am tired but sure doing the exercise would counteract that - I need some motivation!
Have a good day everybody - despite the weather!
Stella xx
Morning Flutterbys
Very sad news yesterday Pete passed away, I feel so much for my son who is still in Afghanistan and wont be home for 3 weeks, it must be breaking his heart along with everyone else who knew him! Had a very teary couple of days it was shocking news as he did have Meningitis and no idea where or how it came from, The Dr’s said he could have just passed a carrier as easy as that. So Cruel.
Work has been very busy and very warm which is’nt ideal, I have done 3 late shifts on the trot and slept for England last night…
Going for ECG and blood results this morning and finally Plastics tomorrow… busy days yet again!!
I bought Vikki 50 shades Trilogy to try to get her to concentrate a bit better by reading… but they are still on the shelf in her room Plan B…?
Physio yesterday yet again… was a waste of journey we arrived on time 3/4 hr later physio came to get her only to tell us she still had’nt had a reply from Consultant re treatment…Oh dear was not a happy bunny as its a 20 mile drive then had to take her home and get changed and do the self same drive to go back to work!
I have missed quite a lot of the Olympics but I will be catching up over the next few days and enjoying whats still to come, seems like GB Team are finally finding their Mojo…
Hope you are all well and the weather is being kind, love to everyone… I must shed these PJ’s ad get ready for Dr’s get up and go got up and went!!!
Big hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxhugsxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I was so, so sorry to hear about Pete…someone so young…you just don’t know what’s around the corner
It is things like this and breast cancer that change you…I feel I’ve subtly changed from the person I was. You only get one chance at life and you never know how long that chance is going to last…I find myself saying yes to doing more things now as I don’t want to pass on anything. I’ve even said yes to a weekends camping in Pembrokeshire in September so we can go and see the seal pups…so unlike me to do camping! Also planning a trip to Mull to go and see the sea eagles. Even now I’m back at work, I always used to work late but now I walk out dead on the dot if not before the dot! I see people looking at me but I really don’t care…so long as the work is done and done well.
I had my appointment with Occy Health the other day and the person I saw was lovely…I’ve been advised to have a workstation assessment so no harm in that I guess.
Getting into the Olympics now and really looking forward to the athletics tomorrow. My sister gets married next week in Gretna Green so also looking forward to a family get-together and a knees up (I’ll try and combine the knees up with some post op exercises for good measure…do you think anyone will notice!!)
Anyhoo…gotta go
Hugs to all xx
Hi Flutterbys
Doz, I’m so sorry about your son’s friend, Pete. What a shock and so, so very sad! You’re right Elsa-Jane, we do subtly change after BC, hence, Where did I go? You appreciate how fragile life really is. I hope your results at the doctors are good for you Doz. Stella. For a short while, we lived in the area where your son has moved. It’s very nice with some lovely properties. Hope you’re getting some sleep, it’s horrid when you’re up during the night all the time. Jane, hope your mammo results are good next week flutterby! Fingers crossed although I don’t expect you’ll need it.Emmy, glad to hear you are more laid back these days and yes, rushing around doesn’t ever seem to work. Now I’m one year on from Herceptin the hair which has grown in that year is much better. I can’t believe it takes all that time for us to heal in different ways. Your weight, if anything like mine, has stuck, even though I dieted and exercised and in 3 months lost only 3lb, so disheartening! Fact is I don’t eat the wrong things anyway! I am off to get a new boob next week as I have gradually become lopsided due to weight gain!! Hope healthy eating is working for you Carolyn, wonder if the Herceptin has contributed to Emmy and my weight gain? Yes, although we will be heartbroken, we’re also looking forward to being able to go out and about when our dog has departed. About 50 shades of grey?… we’ve done it all by now girls, haven’t we? Like you Carolyn, chic lit isn’t my thing, but I appreciate, it wouldn’t do for us all to like the same thing, so really hope you enjoyed your book Stella.Janice, are you back from your trip yet? Hope it’s done you good? Weather here hasn’t been too bad at all. I went to the opticians for new specs yesterday as I haven‘t been since before BC. O.H hasn’t changed but mine have. Makes you wonder if BC drugs have any bearing? I could sometimes see a tiny blank spot in one eye and it seems I have a bit of something stuck to the back of my retina! That and it costing a fortune, it’s a good job there’s only mine to pay for!!
Sorry if I’ve missed anyone! Enjoy the evening girls. Love Ami xx
Hello ladies,
Hello Doz and so sorry to hear about Pete. Ami summed things up so well. Life is so precious and who knows where any of us will be in a years time, BC or not. I keep telling myself that BC aside I am blessed to have a body that ‘works’ if you know what I mean. Fingers crossed for your ECG and bloods, hope it all goes well.
New boob Ami! Gosh there will be no stopping you, sending you hugs and hand holding and hoping all the pre op stuff goes well. And you are so right, it would be very boring if we all read the same type of thing. I wish my taste wasn’t quite so grisly! The girls at work are always swapping books and I never have anything suitable to swap! I am so out of touch with what everyone else is reading.
Pleased to hear that Occ Health are looking after you Elsa Jane, as for leaving bang on time etc you are quite right. Stuff the looks you get. I swore when I was off work and things were still dodgy that I would never get myself stressed over my job and I would keep things in perspective. I haven’t been entirely successful but certainly have kept my hours down (having Fridays off) despite Lewis starting school this year.
Stella, please do not be too impressed! I have bought in the healthy food - tick! I am still consuming the unhealthy food - tick! I actually put on a pound at weigh in today, but I’m not complaining, it was a fair cop! Another night out again threw me this week when we went to Perth racecourse for an evening meeting with hubby’s work! I was so hungry I had a veggie burger and chips, and I love my sweets. I am tired all the time and not working through the Summer hols, don’t know how well I’ll get on running when back at work. I am trying to exercise to fight the fatigue but I am having more teary spells (very gradual build up but can see where things are going lol! ) so totally understand the tiredness taking away our ability to exercise. Proof of the pudding will be keeping anything up after next week when schools go back here.
This weekend we go down to York to my stepson and his lovely wife’s wedding party. He is such a smashing lad and very much like his father, really looking forward to going down.
Take care you lovely lot! Carolyn x
Hi Carolyn
Sorry I misled you! 
And anyone else reading my post. I’m just going for a new prothesis on Monday, that’s all. As for recon, after what I’ve had taken I don’t think it would match the other, plus I’m a devout coward!! Enjoy your weekend…just what I could do with… a wedding party! Please Carolyn, don’t beat yourself up over the exercising and weight thing. Do what makes you happy and go with the flow!
Love Ami xx
