The 21st isn't very far away.. You will soon be on the mend.. It wasn't a hollow offer, I would be more than happy to take you to the hospital at any time.. Maybe in August you will be up to lunch? Life is a lottery, I went with what I thought was by best odds..( even though I'm crap at roulette!!! ) :DD.. I'll in box you my email xx

I next go on Mon 21st July then one more chemo after that then will be on Herceptin for 6-12 months? Then eventually recon to give me boobs again, even though I'm used to not having them now! Just very lumpy scars n tender still? Glad you well esp with no treatment! Does make ya wonder if we really need it! Thanks for offer. X

How long will you need to go for? I'm really well.. As you know, I decided against chemo ( still not sure if it was the right decision) so, I haven't been through as much as you. I started back to work on Monday, on a phased plan.. So see how it goes.. If, I'm off and you every need a lift to the hospital, please let me know. I'd be more than pleased to take you. When you feel up to it, Ill treat you to lunch xx

Morning! I go every 3 weeks still n that's enough for me. Takes me a week to get over it then 2nd week start to improve then 3rd week good then start again! How about you? X

[Acorn59]

So glad to hear you are feeling better, and liking your new look. How often do you need to go to the hospital? Denise x

[Mummycrow]

Hi I'm fine thanks, bald but ok! Gave up with cap as couldn't handle the headaches n pain after for 3 days! But loving my new look oddly? Had my 1st Herceptin injection yesterday n 4 chemo today. Nice to be away from hosp at last! X

HI, I live in Eastwood. Just had my 4th FEC and perservered with that hideous cold cap! Makes me look like a pregnant hamster! But.... I still have my hair. How are you doing? xx

[Mummycrow]

How funny, u could get a collection for different occasions!! They said I would be offered recon later?? Had 2nd chemo yesterday, bad headache from cap, better today but ache. My hair is coming out if I run my fingers through it, if I loss a lot more by next treatment will not do cap again as find it so horrible. Xx

[Acorn59]

You sound really positive, which is the best way to be.. Whilst still having your hair and energy!!! Why did they not do your recon at the same time? Were you given I choice?? I've got used to having no nipple on my recon boob.. If, the op is going to hurt I might get a stick on :). I might even get a pair of those glittery tassel ones ;DD xx

[Mummycrow]

Hi, glad u doing good! I'm having 6 doses, Fec and also in 3 months Herceptin. Yer still can't believe that I've still got all my hair? Just got dry mouth n cracked lips still. Apart from that full of energy! Can't wait till all over with, don't how long I will have to wait before offered recon? Mind you I'm getting used to being flat!! Lol! Xxx

[Acorn59]

I'm so glad your first chemo went well.. And you haven't lot your hair.. How many doses will you need to have? I'm assuming your under Southend area? Do you have someone to take you to all your appointments?
Recon has gone really well thank you.. I'm back later today to have my tapes removed.. Take care dxx

[Mummycrow]

Hi, glad u doing good, how did recon go n surgury? I've had one dose of chemo n due 2nd next Fri 16th, used the cold cap n still got all hair, was sicky for few days but great at mo! Xx

[Acorn59]

Hi, sorry, For the late reply.. How is the chemo going?? Hope you are feeling well.. . I had my mastectomy and reconstruction last September.. I decided against chemo, as I plumped for the Onoctype DX test, and it came back quite low. I've been on Letrozole since then.. I was in hospital 2 weeks ago to finish my reconstruction. Take care dxx

[Mummycrow]

Hi, how are you now? It's been 6 weeks since my op n still not very comfy. I start chemo next Fri, quite worried about it, have u had treatment?

[Acorn59]

Hi, I'm in Rettendon.. I had a single Mastectomy last September .. Denise

[Mummycrow]

All new to this, had double mascectomy n awaiting start of chemo, would b great to meet up/chat to someone near me.
