Hi Ladies. Glad you are still here Chrissie, Rhonda and Jenny. I did send you a PM Rhonda wishing you all the best for your scan....don't know what happened to it. My hair and eyelashes are coming back but I haven't got the courage to go out yet without the wig. My granddaughters in their teens also fell about laughing when I said I was having reconstruction surgery and would be wearing low tops, Wishing you all the best ladies and keep posting xxx

Hi mandy...Welcome. I started my chemo journey on 28th Jan and finished on the 15th. May. Can't help on the Tax question as I only had FEC but I can say it took a good month before I really got any strength back. I was exhausted for most of the time. I am now picking up a bit but I am thinking of getting myself a tonic to help. At the beginning of treatment I couldn't sleep then at the end of treatment all I wanted to do was sleep. Don't push yourself too hard, and most important try not to get stressed out. I'm sure someone will be along to talk about Tax as most of the ladies have it. Sending hugs Irenee xxxx

Best of luck Joyce...I think the worst part of all this bc crap is waiting for scan results. I'm sure you will be fine after all the chemo. It will be interesting to hear what your Cons say about surgery. love Irenee xx

Dear Joyce, I can understand where you are coming from...it's a good idea to talk it over with your dr. or surgeon. I haven't been happy with my boobs for years as I was lopsided after childbirth etc. Now after mx and chemo I would like reconstruction and my surgeon said he would do both breasts. Wishing you all the best. Ireneex

Sooooo...pleased for you Yvonne. You can rerlax now. Yes I have heard about dogs sniffing out cancer and I read a true story in a magazine about how a pet dog saved a womans life when it kept jumping on her lap and sniffing her breast.
She went to the doctors and she had breast cancer. Sorry if I did not make it clear..you drink the coconut water..Sainsburys sell it and most supermarket. The receptionist at the dentist backed it up as well and they both have lovely heads of hair. Anyway it's worth a try. xxx
