Thanks Pam Thanks Pam, I will try them on Monday, I have got some quotes excluding BC, but really wanted to include it if poss................just in case cos I have had cellulitis in my radiated breast , started two weeks after the end of rads, was told by the bc nurse to let it settle, then when I saw the onco in Jan, she put me on antibiotics. Imagine going all that way practically problem free, then right at the end 😞 Hey ho that's how it goes !! This holiday is not till August, so my dilema is do I wait till one year from diagnosis for quote, or go for it now 🙂 How are you doing yourself ?? Nailart has finished her rads this week too. she may post soon take care Marge xx ... View more

Medical Screening Granmum, when I phoned up about my quote, I spoke to a very informed young lady, who asked me all the relevant questions, which are set in stone for them. Initially I told her the situation, then she went thro the screening etc and asked if i was on medication now, or strong painkillers Hope that helps Hugs marge xx ... View more

Well Done !! Congratulations on finishing your treatment Rosie, I can understand how you feel, I too am triple negative ! , There are a few more of us on this site too I finished my chemo and rads on November the 14th, on January the 2nd I was discharged from my onco care, no more follow ups with her, and transferred back to the care of my surgeeon. His follow up due in 3 months, which will be a year from my diagnosis. Scary stuff Good luck to you Marge xx ... View more

Discharged Had my follow up appt, onco looked at my radiated breast cos I had some delayed redness, prescribed me some antibiotics for cellulitis, had a feel around my neck, discharge now back into the care of my surgeon for follow up in 3 months, that's all, no bloods taken.
