Hi all Having had my port removed under local anaesthetic with sedation followed by being hit with a summer head cold I now feel as if I am emerging and can catch up with everyone. AK - how are you now? Otter & Carole - how was your first week back at work? Hope you were able to relax over the weekend. Carole huge hugs to your other half, I think this journey is sometimes harder for them as they can feel helpless. Well done on your weight loss Lesley - your hotel room sounds horrid. Glad they changed the room for you. Well done on your weight loss too Sending you all 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗💕💕💕💕💕 and wishing you all a safe and healthy week xxx ... View more

Just a quick message - saw my consultant today for mammogram results. All clear - whoop whoop 🎉🎉 just happened to ask if my port would set off airport security & here I am in hospital waiting to go & have my port removed under sedation!! They are fitting me in at the end 😕 Xxx ... View more

Hope today went well for you too Anadan hugs for you too, hope all went well 🤗, perhaps a photo of the new pj bottoms ? It's ok on our side, we'll be waiting for you Lesley - I can't imagine why you would be in the naughty corner 😉 Sending love & hugs to all - wishing you all a good rest of the week xxx 🤗😗💕 ...

What a glorious weekend 😎🌞☀ Anadan, how's the sewing going - did you make yiur pyjama bottoms? I can't sew for toffee but do knit & crochet, but I lost interest during chemo & you've inspired me to finish off my projects - a turtle blanket for 1 daughter & 2 shoppers for friends as a thank you for their help and support. My hair isn't long enough to dye either Lesley - I hope you've managed to finish your jobs. I've been enjoying breakfast & lunch in the garden. How are your sores, hope they've started to heal. Otter you sound very creative - I've found picking up my needles/hook very therapeutic. Good luck for Tuesday going back to work. Just wondered - has anyone suffered from a numb arm/pins and needles. I've been suffering on and off since my last chemo. I woke up this morning with a numb right arm with pins & needles in my fingers, which took some time of manipulation for it to wear off. Anyway, enjoy the sunshine tomorrow xx ☉ ... View more

Lesley I go away in just over 3 weeks so may not even have 2 cm!!! Am doing a Bythesea by rocking sun hats & sunnies - obviously not at night though!! (But maybe a straw hat) xxx 🕶👒 ... View more

I've been advised that once tooth has been taken out I will need to wait at least 2 weeks before z acid can be administered. I had dexa (bone density) scan last week and the medic was surprised I was having z acid and not anadronic tablets (I think that's the name). I see my onc again in June. I wasn't told about the 6 week windows, maybe they'll explain more when I actually go - it's worth knowing though xx ... View more

Lesley well done on finishing your rads!!! Whoop whoop 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Are you all done now? 🤗 Anadan how did you get on today - when's your op? 🤗 Bythesea good luck for tomorrow. Regarding dying hair I think it has to be a few cms long and we need a full head coverage. It might be worth asking a hairdresser for advice. Mine won't do anything at the moment, she wants it to grow a bit & also wants to speak to hair dye company (I use herbatint) for their advice. 🤗 Carole good luck to you too for tomorrow 🤗 My mammogram went well thank you - it was very quick as only had one to do!! Results next week 🤞 I was ok about it - it's almost a year since I was first diagnosed. Saw dentist hygienist also today for the first time ever!! She said teeth & gums were really healthy, except for one that needs to come out!! I'm still waiting to find out when that's happening as they can't start zoledronic acid until I've completed all major dental work. I need to be sedated for extraction & dentist doesn't do it!!! 🙄 Also got new glasses today - had eye test after chemo & needed a new prescription. Not sure if it's age or chemo!! Anyway enjoy your evening and have a lovely rest of the week 🤗💕🤗💕🤗💕 Xxx ... View more

We're going to Turkey for a week at the end of May and have just taken out an annual travel insurance costing  £358 for myself & 2 daughters (OH has his own). We had to tick boxes saying I had been diagnosed for BC for less than 2 years, that it hadn't spread beyond my breasts and that I was on ongoing medication.   Lesley - champneys sounds exactly what the doctor ordered, especially with today's wet weather 🌧   Xxx ...

I should be having a wax today but I've a cousin staying and a bone density scan so cancelled.  They did say I would probably be more tender - and they wouldn't let me book a massage due to lymph nodes 🙄   Xxx ... View more
