Hello Sonia, I too am an unhappy couch potato. I was diagnosed in sept 2015 with breast cancer had lump removed then chemo for it to return in same place 6 months later had that lump removed then had radiotherapy then told it had spread to my chest wall.so since Jan this year I am on palliative chemo which is tough as I can't do what I used to do no in fact I can't do anything as I'm so breathless. You worry what the next ct scan is going to find I get my results of last scan next week.it is hard trying to stay positive especially when feeling so low,I know I have quite few bad days.,it is hard when you've always been fit and active.hugs Angela xx

Hi everyone thanks for comments on what to eat etc when you've no appetite. I'm not eating much, no appetite at all ( can't afford to lose any more Weight) just got appetite back last time to lose it again.rough weekend stomach ache and diarrhoea after taking 2nd dose of vinorelbine. Very breathless. Gp prescribed naproxen for pain in chest, back and right shoulder blade ( alternates between each) helped a lot though still get some pain especially in my back at night.seeing oncologist next week for results of ct scan, bit worried about that. Weekend for me wasn't too good but got some lively flowers as it was our ruby wedding anniversary. Hugs to all xxx

Hi everyone thank you for your comments, got some strong anti inflammatory painkillers for the awful pain that was either in my chest, back or shoulder blade. Start chemo tablets today just as I started to pick up after not eating much etc.food wise I couldn't eat much mainly cos of no taste and not much appetite except for rice pudding things like that. Have lost bit of weight but don't want to lose anymore.but when you only want sweet things no bread no potatoes nothing savoury it's hard to know what to have. Anyway got to get through next 2 weeks then see oncologist and might be taken off cape we shall see. Hugs to everyone xx

Hi everyone on subject of fatigue,last few weeks I've done absolutely nothing!! No its not being lazy at all its how chemo makes you feel 😞 😞 .I was constantly being told to eat more, go out for walk every day when I was feeling like s@#t.you will feel better if you do something they said. NO I Won't!! Until I finish my course of Cape and vinorelbine, then I will start to pick up,to go through it all again next time.but as I am now breathless and my cancer of lymph nodes in chest wall has got worse I might be off cape. Have good weekend everyone xx

Hi everyone.been at all time low this week after frightening experience of breathlessness no interest in anything not even going out as just getting dressed takes my breath xray said clear 3 weeks ago but yesterday at my hospital.app my ct scan showed a spot on.my lung which they never mentioned before and after a xray yesterday showed the bc which spread to my chest wall that has got worse, been unable to sleep at night sometimes for this pain in my chest which was sometimes in the middle of my back or in my right shoulder blade last night so low I just wanted it to end 😞 see oncologist assistant tomorrow as he is away so have to continue cape and vinorelbine as only he cqn change my chemo as obviously it's not working. So another 3 weeks of feeling so low, breathless will ask for pain killers. Last night at 3am I just sat in my living room crying my eyes out. Knowing the tablets will again take my taste my appetite, stomach more upset just as I started to eat again. This is worst I've felt chemo. Hard to stay positive xx

Hi Sandra59.thank you for those positive comments.i too take vinorelbine on day 1 and day 8 of Cape cycle with blood test the day before each one.try ti be prepared for the 'D'. Get confused with all the different threads I thought I was on the main cape one when I sent my message!! All you can think about is timing the tablets every day now the new ones arranging the next blood test and the next appointment with consultant which is every 3 weeks. How do you keep positive how do you not let it get to you as I struggle sometimes especially on days I'm.not feeling too good hugs to everyone xx

Hi everyone hope you all enjoyed the warm weather at the weekend I did it was lovely but back to winter now.at hospital tomorrow to see consultant for my next lot of Cape I found I have indigestion at night if I eat anything in the evening, also my hair has started to thin a bit so might have to go back to wearing my wig for a while.consultant will be starting me on vinorelbine as well as cape so bit worried as to how they will react together. My cough and my breathlessness has got slightly worse hence the vinorelbine so worried and bit scared of what's to come..

Looks like I will be going on vinorelbine next time I see oncologist.tedults of scan showed improvement in one area but not in chest wall that's why I'm breathless and wheezing at times. Anyone else on cape and vinorelbine. Coping well on cape only feeling tired but worried more tablets more side effects. Hugs to everyone xx
