I'm in Yeovil but having my surgery at Exeter...tomorrow. I think I've been really strong up to today but now all I do is blub!
I have cleaned the house from top to bottom, not easy while you are crying. Good job no one can see me. It's not so much the cancer that is upsetting me, it's realising that I won't be able to get back to "normal" straight away as having recon at the same time (LD) Sorry to go on ladies, I know this thread is for people nearby getting in touch.

Hi Ladies
Is there nobody else out there from Somerset?

[Guest user]

Hi Cathy,
My OH was born in Forres during the war when his dad was stationed at Kinloss. My brother was RAF, my niece's husband too, and now my daughter! She's always wanted to join the RAF but trained as a nurse here in Dumfries before she joined up 2 years ago. She absolutely loves the life! She's in an area of "conflict" (as they say!) just now so not much peace of mind for her poor old ma!
Take care!

Hi Quine

recognise that - spent several years at Kinloss and Lossie. I was in the RAF for nearly 10 years but the scottish bases were my favourites!

[Guest user]

PS and anyone from my original neck of the woods, Aberdeen, will recognise the "quine" bit!

[Guest user]

Dumfries in Southwest Scotland. Hi Pinkdove, could you be connected with the Services? Looks to me as tho' you've been near RAF bases! My wee girl nurses in the RAF and is away just now but usually nurses in Peterborough.
Love and hugs to all.

Hi

It definetly is more doable than I ever imagined.
The journey to Guildford used to take me between 45mins and an hour depending on the M25 (bloody hate that road now!). All in all I was gone 3 hours - a walk in the park compared to chemo - but just a pain because of the travelling and towards the end did feel very tired. (Did have 2 out of 30 sessions where 1 just made it in time, other 90 minutes late - due to accidents and roads being closed - so I suppose not bad - bit of pain when had to be back for 12md for pre-school pick-up - luckily some very good friends would take him home if I had not appeared on time - they were an absolute god send - if nothing else this dreadful BC has shown me who my friends really are)
I feel good thanks - just a bit overwhelmed that I actually made it this far but now what happens next? Seeing Onc Thurs - so hopefully he will help answer some questions.
Paula - how far are you into your chemo? I am still suffering chemo brain and last one was end of Feb!

Please take care, love

I was petrified but can honestly say its not that bad.....sorry not sure what you have been diagnosed with Jenny??

[Jennyg]

its good to hear that I will be in safe hands - thank you for that info!! everyone on here seems so brave - I am totally petrified...

[Guest user]

Hi Jenny

Just to second what Anne said that Queen Victoria has an excellent reputation.

Anne- I am having chemo and then rads at Brighton. About 40mins from where I live so wont be looking forward to doing that one everyday for rads...!!

Anyway I see you have finished all treatment now, excellent how are you feeling?

Love P xxx

[anne5]

Hi Paula, Becks, Scarlett and Jenny

I am too a West Sussex lady. Jenny - I have only heard all good about Queen Victoria Hospital - they are a centre of excellence regarding plastic surgery. I had immediate recon using LD flap - and I am very pleased with it. Hoping once all my treatment is finished can have a nipple and tatoo doing.
Where did you all have your surgery.chemo and rads - my surgery was East Surrey Hospital - who were absolutely fab - chemo also East Surrey again absolutely fab and rads Guildford - again staff great - just the travelling was a pain.

Please take care, love
