Hi, I am 5 years post diagnosis for primary breast cancer (lumpectomy and radio) and recently had my 5th mammogram. I'm 46. What happens now? Am I now discharged? It seems a long time to wait for routine mammograms. Because of covid I've not seen anyone face to face for 3 years, just a chat on the phone with the pharmacist each year about tamoxifen. Very grateful for any info, thank you x

Thanks, yes I thought the same. And I wasn't sure if all the stuff in those kits was actually useful or not so I asked you guys. I've sent my friend a few bits and will aim to send something little for after each treatment. Thanks again for all your tips and hope you are all feeling ok today xxx

Yes cooking smells seem to be making her nausea worse. Hopefully she'll feel a little better today. Thanks so much, nothing is easy about this cancer business - we need to look after each other! Xx

Hi lovelies, My friend starts 6 lots of chemo tomorrow. I only had rads so I'm not sure what I could send her that might help a little? She lives miles away from me so I just want her to know I'm thinking of her. Many thanks in advance for any tips. Mand xx

Hi, sorry, I went straight from last rad session on Friday into the car to travel from Essex to Loch Ness. I have patchy Internet on my phone here but have finished radiotherapy 🙂 thanks for all your support. Boob is sore and red but could be much worse. Being in a lovely cottage right on the Loch is helping lots. Xx

Surrey how was it having boost today? Was it quicker? I've been told I won't have to do breath hold for boosters which will be good. Hope all of you are doing OK. Glad your arms aren't giving you too much grief today Andrea x

Hi, I have breath hold radiotherapy. At the planning appt you practise holding your breath so that your boob is lifted away from your heart and the machine will make measurements. I didn't have lines to look at but the lovely team told me what to do. Once the machine has made measurements you will need to hold your breath at that level during your treatments. The machine will know if you need to breathe in a bit more or let a bit out and the team will tell you. It stops if you drop out of breath hold so no worries there. 20 seconds seemed like ages at first but now I'm on day 11 it's fine. Hope your appt goes well xx

Lizzie maybe stock up on aloe Vera gel or something you can put in fridge to help soothe. I'm sure other ladies are more knowledgeable than me about what might help xx

Hi, lots of you finish the day before me! Think of me on the last Friday 😉 boob is OK, scar and nipple area bit sensitive but feel a bit bruised too. Under boob and across the top where the lump was. Probably just wearing the wrong kind of bra or something. Do feel bit knackered too in the afternoons. Luckily it is summer hols so my other half is off work and can help entertain our 6 year old. Fee you've done so well. Tearful ladies sending a hug to you. I feel like I cope OK with things but once I'm at the hosp there's no escaping it. Take care xx

Hi, not dry eyes but maybe a bit more blurry than normal. I got glasses just before being diagnosed so might just be getting used to wearing them all the time. Only 4 to go for you, yay x

Linrowan congrats on finishing! My lovely radiographer lady has given me info on a course that macmillan run for when active treatment is finished. To help 'get back on the horse of life' is how she put it. It might be worth seeing if there's something similar available near you? Be kind to yourself xx
