Mael, that dinner sounds fabulous and I don't eat red meat!!! I've got a real craving for protein foodd this week, eggs, fish, cheese
Jill does the cat really go in the car????
Hi dee, no, it doesn't die down for me I'm afraid, I'm sizzling from inside out all the time! And in pain, guess you were one of the lucky radders x
mael, I had an urge for protein too so consumed a vast amount of crayfish tails with a baked potato
Jill, hopefully mother in law has settled in and that is not causing any issues
night ladies, gonna try for 5 hours tonight, sweet dreams xxx
Off to be fried, speak later xxx
And you, Sheena! Scorchio, yes -- I almost had a sunstroke yesterday. But it's already on its way out... And in London we can look forward to a week of rain and tube strike. Boo 😄 How are you? xx
Mael, Jill, happy rading tomorrow xxx scorchio xx
I'm soooo hot I am going to explode! If you read the news about a woman who self combusted, it's me x baby cheeses
Night night dear Sheena, Jill, Dee and June -- luv you all 🙂 xxx
I am here listening to some punk rock to give myself the pep needed to wash my hair, lol x
Looks like it's just the three of us! I'm going to bed, dinner was fantastic mael!,
sweet dreams xxxx
Girls, just passing by -- too tired to say anything meaningful, and I want to do some housework before I crash. I am no Hyacinth Bucket, have never been, but recently I am in a cleaning mood, must be the need for control, hahaha 😄
Will say something more articulate over the weekend, for the moment being a big hug to everyone. And, Jill, welcome to the club of the Glowers 🙂 (it's not too horrible, no?) xxx
Hi lovely ladies
went to gp today and signed off again also been given antidepressants in the hope that it will let me sleep and lift my mood
gp was super lovely I felt like hugging her on the way out. She's seeing me again in two weeks to see how I feel and gave me lots of other stuff to consider
how's everyone doing xxx
Hi girls,
This all seems a bit of trauma now to get onto the sight, you seem to have to trawl through loads of old stuff to get to up to date, Whyd do wsbites constantly have to keep being changed., If it aint broke don fix it.
Glad you had good break Dee, wondered where you were, You and i seem to be only ones finished our rads my oncology appointment is 4th Sept, i understand these are very brief, my hairdressers mum in law was in and out so quickly she wondered why they bothered and she had had chemo too. Everyone keeps saying my boobs look bigger, in fact i have bought some 32 d cup bras, Ive always for a petite slim woman had boobs, never been flat chested, but they definitely have increased, Please no more, i do not want to be Dolly Partonlol.
Mael you seem to be sliding through those rads, I had over 20 so not as many as you but i found once half way through wemt much quicker.I had 2 bank hols in mine..
The tamoxifen isnt causing too many problems apart from the damm flushes, sometimes get them during day now. But on the bright side will save on heating bills this winterlol.
Night all sleep tight,not too much tossing and turning Mael, i found like you during my treatment i tended to lay awake and go over things, but once its over you tend to revert to normal, whatever normal is.
Junex
Last one on Thursday Jill
Hi ladies
not ignoring you honestly, just worn out. Ultrasound today looks good he says not a tumour but will get the bc folk to double check and let me contact gp if any changes appear, so that's good news!
still hot and sore can't wait for the end, I'm being referred to the lymphodema clinic at the end due to the extent of swelling in my arm and breast! Oh joy. So that's why I'm not so chatty x
Jill all the best for tomorrow x you have my support all the way xx
mael, still fried chicken, but I have a pack of frozen peas I might shove dowm my tshirt
love to you all
sheena xxx
Jill, I had been waiting for ages for the right occasion to use that song 😄
I love it -- it has been on my Spotify for ages.
Yeah, I do get the bank holiday, thank goodness!!
Well, it's difficult to find a positive in this experience for me, sawry 🙂 Maybe I'll discover that I am finally able to not sweat the small stuff, but for the moment being feels just like a really, really, really horrible experience that will cost me zillions in shrink sessions.
One odd thing -- I was looking in the mirror earlier, I have the face I used to have ten years ago (let's not get over the moon for this... as my hormonal therapy is yet to start, and I doubt it will make me prettier). I remembered that quote "men are better equipped to deal with adversity than with the drudgery of normality". Maybe it's true, I don't know. I hate hate hate to admit it but life feels more interesting now that I know I might be living on borrowed time. Oh my goodness, I hope I am not depressing you -- you know, I had the lymphnodes and stuff, it's not nice-nice even if it's far, far from hopeless! Still, better being aware of the danger I guess...
How do you feel about your own experience? Does this cloud have a silver lining? Or it's too early to tell?
(goodnight for now! sleep well! x)
Wow! Only 15! Jll, you're lucky! 🙂
You're gonna finish exactly one week before me. On the other hand, 15 is already boring enough 😄
How are you feeling about it? Looking forward to start, finish, and put the lot behind your back?
My boob is still swollen and it's... I won't say painful, even less than sore, but just giving away that vibe "leave me alone". I had a stabbing pain once today and I just intimated for it to go away. To be honest even if it starts to hurt I don't care -- I've dodged quite a few therapeutic bullets by a whisper (well, through illegally escaping the shooting range, really!) and for the rest I don't give a monkey. The future occupies my mind more: I can't spend the rest of my life being busy having cancer; I need to think and find out what enthuses me now.
Oh wow, you start on Friday, how many fry-ups for you?
Good luck for tomorrow Sheena! I'll be thinking of you! xxx
