[mattsmum]

[MandR]

Sandra - yes he is def a keeper!!  Bet you can't wait to go xx

[SandraSussex]

Morning Zoe!

Great news! Hope day 2 goes well! x

[Zoec]

Morning !! Xxx I just had the best sleep in an absolute age. Wishing you all a good day!

[Zoec]

Hi, 22 to go now!!! Yes everyone was so lovely. Thank you for all your messages. That means a lot. I have made myself an "advent" type calendar and filled it with sweets. It's in the shape of a pink ribbon and I love it. Haven't outgrown arts and crafts yet.
This can't already be, my boob is totally hot! That's in my head right?! Wondering if it is because it took us a while to squiggle me in to position and my op arm just aches and it's making my right side hot. Anyway not complaining, just intrigued.
More later fellow July people. Sleep well xxx

[SandraSussex]

MandR

I started a new relationship just before Christmas and he has supported me during this...he is treating me to 10 days in Cyprus! Think he's a keeper! 😀

Sandra - I start holiday at Loch Ness the day after rads finish.  Booked it last year but looking forward to it.  But we're tempted to book a week in the sun before daughter goes back to school in Sept.  xx

[SandraSussex]

Zoec

I hope all has gone well! One down! Yay!

[mini mad]

Have you tried anything for a real itchy nipple area !! ☺️

[mini mad]

Hi there,

well its been 11 days since my last session.

have slight pink colour on skin but area around nipple n nipple itself is now itchy... 😳😳

still ising Aveeno lotion and now trying sudocrem.. With a cotton hanky tucked down over my nipple.

i am off on holday this cming friday so have decided to give radiology nurse a call tomorrow , see if she can recommend  something.

under arm n srmpit still feels scratchy,  dont know how else to describe it .. Can anyone else relate to this weird stingy scratchy feeling i wonder ?

[Meri]

Hi, I just finished 15 sessions.

Have had some issues but finding some great ideas for creams, gels, cooling etc here.

So can share what working for me.

🙂

[MandR]

Mini Mad - how's your boob after all the rads? How are you feeling?  x

[MandR]

I don't have to travel too far for rads but it's at the hospital in a town I don't know so well so it seems a bit daunting at the moment.  I guess I'll know it better soon!  

Sandra, yes look at it as a positive thing - a 'present' that will make sure you stay well.  

Other half has just bought me a fitbit because I am determined to sort my life out 😉 and get fitter and healthier.

Lots of love xxx   

[JoanneJ.]

I'm starting mine on the 20th. All the travelling to the Beatson in Glasgow is going to do me in:(

[SandraSussex]

MandR
I have had to make it positive so looking at some sort of re-birth! Lol!

[ladybowler]
