She saw the oncologist last week, and was told that the Femara isn’t working anymore. There is basically nothing else they can do now, according to the oncologist.
She has a lot pain, and can’t get much sleep due to the pain. Ten days ago her sister brought her a hospital bed and a wheelchair. She is more comfortable on the hospital bed, and can manage to lie down for longer periods. She has not been anywhere since last Christmas, apart from trips to her dad and a couple of meals out. Last week she went for the market for the first time since Christmas, in the wheelchair. She enjoyed it, even though it was tiring.
Peggy is sorry that she is unable to get online to post, etc, but sitting in a chair even for a few minutes are too much. Peggy is now using morphine patches to combat the pain. A home nurse calls daily to check and change the patches when neccessary.
I’m really sorry to hear that Peggy is so poorly. I hope she gets some decent pain relief to make her comfortable so that she can spend time with her lovely kids and family.
I am really sorry to hear the Peggy is so poorly I was wondering where she was. Give my love to her and her family and thanks for letting us know
love Caroline
I am also really sorry to hear about Peggy, she was very active on these forums when I joined in last year so I followed a lot of what she had written. Please pass on my good wishes to her and hope she is able to get out into the fresh air a bit if she can and her pain can be controlled.

Like everyone else I too had been thinking about Peggy…please send her my love…she’s been very much missed…sometimes I want to ask how someone is but hold back hoping they are taking a break from the board or not wanting to put any pressure on them replying. Love to you Peggy…and all your family…thinking of you my friend…x.x.x
Like Belinda, I hoped Peggy was taking a break from the forum and I don’t always want to intrude and ask what is going on but I too have been thinking of Peggy and hoping she’s well. I just hope she is comfortable with her lovely family. Thinking of you…
I ‘spoke’ to Peggy about a month ago on another cancer forum, she was feeling a bit lost due to not being on chemo, as a result I did the ‘Not on chemo’ thread and have been hoping she would post. Well now I know why she hasn’t!
Peggy, I send you massive cyber hugs, I truly hope they can sort out the pain. Thank you for all the advice and chat that we have shared over the past year.
Love Debsxxx
So sorry to hear that Peggy is so poorly at the moment. I really hope that she is made as comfortable as possible and can enjoy some precious time with her children. I really hope to see her posting on here again. We miss her.

This is terrible - I do hope Peggy that you are getting the care and support that you and your family need at this time. I am not sure what the support services are like in your country but i really hope that they are excellent.
