Hi all. It's so lovely to hear that you are all doing well. I'm a little jealous as I've not felt well since Christmas with one thing and another. I've had chest pain which my GP thinks is caused by acid reflux, a painful swollen eye and then the shingles. Yesterday I had abdominal pain and went to my GP who phoned an ambulance to take me to a&e. The ambulance ladies told me that the GP thought I had an anurysm in my main artery in my abdomen and my blood pressure was sky high, hence the ambulance. So after 4 hours in a&e, blood tests, ECGs, a dreaded canula, an ultrasound and lots of prodding the doctor told me that everything looked fine. He thinks the pain, and my rib pain, is caused by the shingles. Once he had reassured me my blood pressure came down instantly. Of course I had already decided in each case that the pains are caused by the cancer having spread. I'm also not getting the results from my second operation until 14 Feb, which will be almost 4 weeks which I'm annoyed about as it's delaying my radiotherapy. Sorry to moan ladies but it's all getting a little on top of me at the moment. It really helps to be able to share with you all though. On the plus side my hair is growing well, my eyelashes are back and my eyebrows started to come back all of a sudden. I'm going back to work on Wednesday which I'm really nervous about. Hope all you August ladies have a great weekend xx
