Count me in for the Christmas drink on Christmas Eve!!....
.. I will keep you posted with my news.... hoarse thoat? Yes, it could be the low blood count,I suppose . The Vitamin B12 injection. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone!. It does no harm but I do believe it does good! I always feel as though my energy levels have been given a boost when I get it! Especially as I am starting the dreaded Peachy Devils tomorrow morning!!! (12th cycle). The reason I was given it inititally was when I was hypothroid diagnosed, they noticed that i was n ot absorbingVit B12 at all well ad my levels were really low. So have a three motnh injection-it always makes me feel better. If you can ask your doc for this I would. There are no downsides. only energy building upsides!!
Lots of love and Night night,

Ok, so after another night of this constant pain in my lower abdomen and groin, the crackling in my chest (and hoarse throat) I have decided to stop concerning myself with how the onc and registrar will react, (i.e.thinking I am worrying over nothing) and have called hospital with my concerns and asked for a CT scan pre-Christmas to put my mind at rest, else it will spoil my enjoyment of a very special time of year...
Joined a gym yesterday, had my Vitamin B injection, had my blood results-low Red Blood and heameglobin count, but white cell and neutrophils look OK.
So good to go again with Cape Wednesday -my feet will think differently-they are still bright red, hot, itchy, peeling and with blistered manky big toes 😞
MRI on my spine Friday so have asked if I can have scans done on same day too, so that my onc. can see all results when I see him next Tuesday.
Trying to park my worries for the moment, kill the pain with pain relief and just take it one step at a time.
Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for good news next Tuesday-it would my best ever Christmas present....
Lovely ladies, I wish you a great week with all your Christmassy preparations. Mince pies, sherry, tinsel and baubles, xmas lights, mulled wine and coal fires...
Love and hugs,

morning everyone
I too find xmas up and down nowadays. Last xmas was my 1st one with the mets diagnosis and I got very down. The 1st time around was also around xmas time. And I can start feeling a bit sorry for myself for having no family (even though I do have a partner and friends). The idea of having some excited dogs around actually sounds great to me 😉
But I'm still here, so going to try and focus on each day and not what might happen and what has gone. It's wet and miserable outside so it's time to put some fairy lights on and maybe I'll do some cake icing later. Oh and I have to stop putting off doing that paperwork.
take care all
Thanks Vercors,
Was great to meet you-yes my intention is to come to the next meeting-I did find it really helpful. Yes you did sound incredibly busy, you need a rest, you work so hard!
No doubt see you soon!
