Hi all, OAD, Heart scan seemed ok, I'm due herceptin number 13 this Friday so I'll find out before then if anything is amiss. My big toe is still sore but I don't think it's infected. See podiatrist on the 16th May. I'm very sensitive to meds, I have a bad stomach, acid reflux and IBS anyway so antibiotics are not very kind to my stomach, some are better than others. They also seem to "interfere" with my antidepressants, regardless of what antibiotic or antidepressant I am on at the time? How's your back? Mine's still a bit sore. How many herceptin have you had now? I've got my first mammogram and appointment with surgeon on Tuesday morning, I'm a bit nervous. The Moving Forward course is good, nice to meet up with people in the same situation Next week's topics are chemo brain and fatigue. They asked if anyone was interested in attending a Fear of Recurrence course so I've signed up for that in July. Got my hair dyed platinum blonde! Lol! I've always wanted to be that colour but my dark, dry, frizzy hair could never have stood the bleaching process, it's pretty knackered now, even though it's short. I've not quite got the trendy pixie cut I was hoping for but hey ho, it's hair. Really tempted to dye it pastel pink or purple. Think it's because I'll be 49 next month, must be having a mid life crisis (again!) Take care. xx Aine, I've started to walk a bit more, even with my sore toe. My legs were a bit sore last night so I must have walked briskly and long enough to do some good. Cut the grass today, took a break halfway through, it's a medium-large size lawn. I used to take my dog to the cemetery too, it's a 2 min walk from my house and I used to take her to the really old part where I could safely let her off the lead for a good run, she was a greyhound. Best Wishes Hazel.x
