Thank you Cathy, here's hoping. :). Feel better about things today decided to look at things a different way, these tablets are going to keep me here so going to look at it that way rather than what effects I will have. I read something yesterday which has made me feel better, a lady said, everyone on the planet is terminal and it is up to god when you go home, gave me a new perspective on things. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. Keep fighting Cathy xxx ... View more

Hi, thought I would give an update, had my oncology appointment Wednesday, she was really stressed and somewhat rude, none of the breast care nurses were there due to annual leave and not being their work day. I felt like I spent my whole time apologising as everything I asked was a no or a very stressy answer. I had to go in on my own and asked if I could record it as I was on my own, that was a flat no. Anyway I am now on Letrozole and they need to do another CT scan as the last one was 4 months ago and because it has been so long to diagnoses they need to look at it again before I start the palbo. so a bit more waiting. I am hoping it was just a bad day with her because if it happens again I will ask to see someone else. Fingers crossed the tablets don't give me too many problems. Hope everyone is ok xxx ...

Thank you Claire. Sorry that you are going through this too. Yeah, I think I will just need to wait and see really. It's  just been such a long process from them finding it until now, 5 months is a long time to wait and wait and wait but hopefully by 8th September and I get my plan and when I will start I will know more. I am getting so much pain in my shins at the moment so once I look at the scan, should no exactly where it is. I can work from home, so lucky in that respect, just hope I can continue xx ...

Thank you so much. Yes once I have the treatment plan and start it, I'll have a better idea on how much time I will need to rest, until I take it, I won't know,  just been waiting sooo long and it's getting painful now so hoping that will be relieved soon. I'll post back once I have treatment. Thank you. Sorry you are having to go through this too. Glad you are still able to work xx ... View more

Hi Jan, Thank you so much for your reply. Yes, work told me I was going to be classed as disabled I'll speak to the Macmillan nurse to see what I need to do thank you. Think I've just been googling to much with all the side effects so will just have to wait and see now. Thank god there is going to be no chemo, well to be honest I'd say no to that again anyway. Hope you are doing ok. Xx ... View more
