Hi ladies sorry I’ve not been on here for ages but I just got out of the habit!!  All is good in my world....no longer at the pub but doing nails in my unicorn shed in the garden which I love!!! 🦄 💕   Hubby still drives me crazy 😜 but that’s probably why I married him as I do love a challenge!! Had my mammogram on Friday and as long as the results all come back clear (which they saying could be between 3-6 weeks 😱 ) then I don’t have to see anyone for 2 years!!!  My zapped boob still feels very tender and lumpy but has been felt by 3 different consultants all of which reckons it’s scar tissue so having to put my trust in them!! I haven’t been able to go through all the posts I’ve missed but hope you’re all doing ok 👌 and sending you lots of love and positive vibes 😘 😘 💕 💕 😘 😘 ... View more

Hello ladies....sorry I’ve not been on here for ages...been a busy time moving out of the pub and then had a short break in Majorca and then back home to sort the very small house with too many people in it ! But finally I think we are sorted...just need my summer house to be finished so I can get Unicorn Nails up and running...electrics are in just need it to be insulated and boarded out!! Sending you all big sparkly love 😘 😘 ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ... View more

Meesh glad you got the ok from onc too....and it was a nicer one....it’s a worry when we can feel these lumps and bumps...you would think they shld warn us really!! Xx ... View more

Thanks ladies 😘 😘   Look at us being able to talk about hair....not long ago we didn’t have any!!!  I’m liking the idea of being platinum too 😊 at the minute tho mine seems to be growing round in circles....can’t really do anything with it and it seems curly 😱     Weve booked a mini break and off to Majorca for 5 days.... come out of pub on Tues and then off on Wed...think I will be exhausted by then so will be well needed!!   😘 😘 ✨ ✨ 😘 😘 ...

Morning ladies....sorry not been on here for a while....been bit busy as gotta be out of pub next tues and there is so much to do so not a lot of free time!  Busy weekend ahead as having leaving party and family coming to join in!!   Shocked....there seems to be different advice for hair...some people say you need to wait few months others a year before colouring hair....I’ve got mine booked in for beginning of July and I finished chemo end of Jan....I’m happy for my hairdresser to colour it and she’s just as happy to do it....I’m not sure I cld manage much longer looking as dark and grey as I am!!     Had meeting with Oncologist yesterday...she put my mind at rest about lumpy bumpy boob and said it felt all very normal and just the effects of radiotherapy.....my sucken veins in my arm probably won’t get better so gonna just have to get used to looking like I’ve been bitten by a 🦈 😱 ....aches and flushes from Tamoxifen are just something we will get used to but she said the benefits of having it out weighs side effects!  After discussing that she then discharged me from treatment so that’s me done....whoop whoop....think I can safely say I won 💪 💪 🤛 💪 💪 🍾 🍾 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉   sending you all big love 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 ...

I know what you mean Meesh...I feel so much better in myself and been back up to speed with work etc...but then something niggles to remind us what we’ve been thru 😱 I’ve got appoint with Onc tues so will be asking lots of questions and hopefully she can put my mind at rest....gonna write a list of things to ask...she’s gonna love me! We’ve got a busy bank weekend ahead and it looks like the weather is gonna be kind which brings out even more people!! 🎉 🌞 🌞 🍺 🍻 🍷 🍷 🍻 🍹 🍾 🌞 🌞 🌞 ... View more

Morning ladies...hope you all had a good weekend 😊     Mishy my stomach hasn’t been too bad this week, there’s def things that trigger it, avocado, olive oil, raw peppers & fresh garlic are what I’ve pin pointed so far!  Had an Indian from Sainsbury’s last night and that was fine!! Do think I prob need to speak to doctors and get it looked at though!  Hopefully they can help you!  I love the way the oncologists try and not blame things on Chemo but I’m pretty sure it’s what has triggered most of our after effects!  My appoint with oncologist is 8 May so will see what she has to say then...I’m really not happy with how my arm looks, the veins have sunk and it looks horrible, not sure if that will improve or that’s just lasting damage??    Hubby has gone to golf this morning, I need to take dog out then start sorting things out in flat, we’re leaving pub on 15 May so not much time to get everything sorted 😬   ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ...

I def wldnt cut mine off!!   Mishy Hows your stomach after Indian?  I find I’m ok with spicy food and Indian doesn’t aggravate me, have started making a list of foods I know that does cause my stomach cramps, so far it’s olive oil, avocado and fresh garlic!  It’s annoying !!   ✨ ✨ ✨ ... View more

Jencat...sorry to hear your daughters struggling I do think it’s really hard for family members, I hope she gets some help at her council in session 😘   My hair is growing relatively even and quite thick, although it’s very salt & pepper, I’m starting to get hair envy badly and keep looking at styles that I would like to have, I’m starting to resemble my husband so once it’s long enough I need to get it coloured!!   Buddy glad you had a good day and got your hair sorted, hopefully it will give you a bit more confidence, does your son know you’ve had it cut or will it be a complete shock for him?   im watching Jeremy Kyle....always makes me feel better about my life 🤣 🤣 🤣 ...
