Hi, Yes it means I can retire early with no reduction to my pension and I can claim benefits, though I have not looked fully into this. Michelle xx

Hi ladies, I am on letrozole and as a side-effect of the medication have experienced hair thinning. I have been in hospital twice last year and have not been to the hairdressers since April. Is it okay to get your hair dyed with hair thinning or is it not a good idea? I have quite a lot of grey hair and want a permanent dye applied. Any advice? Michelle xx

Hi ladies, I have been on long term sick and work in the NHS. I have just found out that my application for ill health retirement has been accepted. The process was stressful as my employment was terminated before I found out that my application had been accepted. Now that it is over, I am so relieved. Hope this helps if anyone is thinking of, or is in the process of applying for ill health retirement. Michelle xx

Hi, Does the Denosumab bone strengthening infusion take only one day every 3 months. So only one visit to the hospital for the infusion every 3 months. Does it take all day? My employer wants to know about future treatment. Michelle X

Hi Cathy, Thanks for replying. Was sickly last night but a bit better today. Didn’t expect the back pain. Made myself get out of bed today. The fact that you’ve had shrinkage spurs me on. Michelle X

Hi Liz, Thanks for replying. Have just eaten a bowl of berries so at least something. Got 2 different drugs for sickness and diarrhoea, been taking the sickness one. Have just shopped and got a load of healthy salad food, so should eat something as light. May take my Pablociclib a bit later on as take in just after tea a moment. Sending hugs and kisses back.

Hi, Just started the combined drug therapy letrozole/palbociclib on Friday. Have been in bed all weekend with tiredness, pain (though this seems to have decreased today), and feeling nauseous. I haven’t eaten much since starting the drugs. Is this normal? I can live with the night sweats. X Michelle.

Hi Clairew, Also I had an ablation(removal of tumour;not curative) and cement technique carried out on my mets in the hip joint which I believe is carried out on spine mets too. It lowers the risk of fractures occurring in the future and reduces pain. X Michelle

Hi Daisy, Was in hospital for 1 week with an infection in my abdomen and mass. On IV antibiotics for 1 week then 1 week on tablets. Found out on Friday the mass is inflammatory, fortunately, but they will keep an eye on it. Also found out my treatment plan which is letrozole/pablociclib and a bone strengthening drug later.

Hi, After nearly 3 months of abstaining from alcohol, does anyone have the occasional drink now and again? Could murder a G&T. I have tried a few no alcohol beverages. I know we are not really meant to mix alcohol with opiate based pain relief. X

Hi, Thankyou for replying. I have decided that I need privacy regarding my SBC diagnosis- only my boss and family and close friends know. X

Hi everyone, Just been in hospital for a week. God this disease is scary. I have been off sick from work for around 10 weeks. I get full pay for 6 months and half pay for 6 months. With me taking sick pay and I couldn’t have worked as newly diagnosed with SBC if I apply for ill health retirement, would my ill health retirement be affected. Or if I went on to take 6 months half pay would this have a deterimental affect on my ill health pension. X
