£2K ck that’s amazing, well done! I posted on here as I knew everyone would be on here!!! I only tend to come on at the weekend as that’s when I have a bit of time to loaf about in the morning, so I struggle to keep up sometimes!

Jencat I’ve just had my fourth this Friday just gone. So yes, counting down to the last two! Because my chemo regimen has changed and I now can’t have the docetaxal, my side effects aren’t actually as bad as they were, so aside from tiredness for first week and feeling quite gaggy for a couple of days, I seem to be ok. I have the filgrastim ?! Injections and they give me a very weird throbbing back and some aches in the sternum but I can cope with it. Also had an appointment with a new onc that specialises in RT- due to start Xmas week! Just plowing on through best I can, want to get the job done! Thanks for asking- lots of blurb there!

Hi everyone, thought I'd check in on you all and see how everyone is doing? I've had an odd week, fourth chemo done, yey, however we sadly had my uncle diagnosed with leukemia at the start of the week and yesterday my sisters father in law had a heart attack, so she is feeling a bit like something is out to get us at the moment bless her. Were all out for her birthday lunch today too, so hoping I'm not too gaggy and nothing has happened to her fil over night. Hope you are having a good week?

Rosietd, glad the stitches coming out has helped a little. I'm sure again this must feel like its never ending, but as you say, its all for a very good reason and you need to do whatever it takes too keep the cancer away. I am having genetics done next month as I am young with tnbc, so I'm trying to mentally prep myself in case I have the brca1 gene. This would mean double MX and ovaries removed I believe. But, for me I have to do whatever it takes to be here for as long as I can for my children (6&4) Take care.

Hi all, sorry I'm always weekday awol then catch up at weekends. Oh my goodness what a tough week some of you have had. Sib, I'm sorry to here your news, I'm sure it must all feel never ending. I am going for a genetics consultation in a few weeks also, feeling a bit nervous but I need to know as I have two daughters and a sister. Ali, im glad they have acted swiftly and got you in. It's awful having extra in top of the chemo and its side effects to deal with, hope you feel better soon All you other lovely ladies, hope chemo 4 has been good to you, especially those swapping over to tax. For those suffering with the horrible "burnt mouth" se, there is a green mouthwash, difflam I think, they can give you to help with that. I have my fourth one next Friday.

OMG I am craving a Chinese take away! I was never told to avoid anything other than that a pregnant woman would have to avoid i.e. runny eggs, deli meats, shell fish, pate, meat less than well done etc I have since read on here that we're apparently supposed to avoid take always also especially Chinese and Indian. Any one risked it?!!!

Hi jencat. I don't wear travel sickness bands for chemo, I cant say I've noticed anyone else doing so either-that's not to say they don't though! I have been quite lucky though and not been sick at all just felt a bit gaggy for a couple of days (day 3/4 usually the worst) My onc told me not to wear nail polish so I could keep an eye on what my nails were doing, but I've read so many people have been told too?!!

Thank you Ann, I hadn't even thought about looking for an app, I will have a look this afternoon. I'm not even sure I know what mindfulness is, but will have a google too. Thank you x
