Hu ladies, Sorry to hear your news Arnie. I am still going through chemo (on 7 of 😎 and 3 lumps have appeared in same place. They assure me they are not cancerous but say they are not right and need to test further after removing. Am waiting for op date. Bernadetteh I often think about you as your story inspired me. Are you still juicing and taking all the supplements??? Hope you haven't lost more weight. Marina ... View more

Hi ladies, Glad all doing just about OK. I do enjoy reading your posts although I don't write often. I am on cycle 6 of 8 chemos. Have found another 3 lumps just where original one removed so now waiting for mamogram & ultrsound before mimi op date. Just when you thought all was under control!! They say they are not cancerous but want to analize further when out. What is the FB group you mention Sandy, I can't find it. Have a good weekend all Marina ... View more

Thinking of you Tina & Vicky. So wish they had kept to my Friday schedule instead of moving me to Monday. Am hoping it's going to be like number 2 and not too bad as I have booked a flight for Thurs to the Uk to visit my sister for 2 weeks. So looking forward to the trip. xx ... View more

Oh Suzanne, it's done now. Hang on in there. Everything crossed for good news. Bernadette I wrote a long reply yesterday to your comment (twice) but I see neither has appeared on the thread. Maybe because I included a link. Will try again later as I have to find the link again. ... View more

Hello ladies, I am doing well, my normal self again. I am having 3rd EC on Moday 1st Feb., according to the every 21 days rule it should have been on Friday 29th but for some reason the appt is for Monday. Unfortunately I will be having 4 so one more to go before I can join the rest of you in celebrating the half-way mark. Maybe I have to have 4 because I have triple negative, don´t know... Am looking forward to this week feeling well and continuing sorting things out in my house (still decluttering, getting curtains, spring cleaning and doing paperwork etc etc). Interesting what you say Pam about your daughter, I have read that being unhappy/stressed etc contributes to us getting cancer. Not that I would consider myself to be unhappy with my life, but I was always stressed and so am using this time off work to sort everything in my life. Simplifying everything, even went to the bank to cancel bank cards I have and don´t need. Thinking of you all, Marina ... View more

Forgot to say my eyelashes are falling out!!!! I think I've aged about 10 years with chemo and now with few eyelashes I really look like a sick cancer patient. Awful. Yes have read about the cannabis Vicky but I am trying juicing as my alternative therapy. Re bone pain, I have pain in my hip on and off. In fact am waiting for date for bone scan just in case but I think its the effects of chemo and nothing more sinister. ... View more

Hi ladies, I'm fine now but my mouth is constantly dry and my lips sore. Now I"m confused who is Delly?? And don't complain about having to take pills after treatment, they keep hormones in check to prevent it coming back. I have Triple Negative which is not hormone related so can't take anything after. Wish I could... but hopefully the chemo will zap it. Night night Marina xx ... View more

Is it just me? I am SO sensitive to everything. I go round the house and everything bothers me and I am making piles of things to get rid of. All my potions and lotions to my sister today. A huge pile of old magazines got rid of, hadn't even read some but too overwhelmed by everything. Clothes to charity etc. I just can't find peace, or pleasure or anything. Everything bothers me!!! ... View more

Thank goodness for all you ladies. This really is a slow lonely path at the moment. Having started off well am slowly getting worse, feel radio active. Have constant tingling on soles of feet and a ringing in one ear. Sleepless night so read through your comments which helps. Meeting my parents for lunch so they don't have to come all the way to my house (they are elderly). Not really up to it but the social aspect will be good. Thinking of you all Xx ... View more

Have to admit I am feeling fine. No energy to do anything but I think that is mental laziness. Can't be bothered. Just relaxing. Nothing like the first time where one day I actually thought I'd rather die!!! I have changed my diet completely. No meat/fish, no prepared foods, no sugar, no alcohol. At the moment home made veggie soups, veggie hot pots, lots of fruit. And have to say I feel better for it. Have been reading so much re our diet and how it affects cancer and just about everything else. Hope I can keep it up. Xx ... View more

Not feeling bad at all today on day 4. Yesterday nausea and very negative and down, wasn't coping. Today feeling good but taking it all v easy, staying in bed. Being a slob!!! Last time I tried too hard. ... View more

Hi Tina, I'm also on day 3 of second round (no memory so think thats same for you)and although SE haven't kicked in like last time apart from nausea which meds deal with, but feeling really down. Have read so much negative stuff about chemo. Off to heat up some soup to see if mood improves. Xx ... View more

Hello Just wondering why when I go into thethread ANY TRIPLE NEGATIVE SURVIVORS OUT THERE it always enters on page 24 of 35. Is it the thread or my phone? I am using Android Google app. thanks Marina ... View more

Hi Vicky, I found 25mm lump quite high near armpit. Had lumpectomy and 3 clear nodes removed. Am going through 4 x EC followed by 4 x T. Then 22 rads. Sorry can't really comment on your situation. Good luck and hope maybe someone else can shed some light Marina ... View more

I am also on day 2 like you Tina. Although mine is EC. And so far am fine, I'm amazed as was already bad now last time. Did have sore throat and slight cold, I think it was the original one that hadn't quite gone. Can't imagine how you cope with a toddler Laura. Apart from feeling exhausted I also found I had a very short temper. Wishing everyone well xx Marina ... View more
