Morning ladies, I trust I find you all as well as can be expected on this journey we are all enduring. @Magenta59 hope you are feeling more yourself after your bog-trotting ...that brilliant expression really summed up your situation aptly! @CT2021 I have to say good on you ditching the cold cap, it should make you chemo sessions shorter (a small blessing) I was not allowed it but tbh now 80% of my hair is gone I've accepted it ... friends have now likened me to Max Wall and the family call me the Merry Monk as for some reason I still have side bits and a fringe remaining! 😂 I have a daily routine of sorts and find it helps, but then I have always had keep days similar as my youngest (17) is autistic and this helps him remain calm and stable (proud of him as he has dealt with this major change in our lives very well, I can't be that bad a parent after all!) @veestar re the filgastrim side effects I get really achy bones especially around my shoulders, my teeth hurt bizarrely and it zaps my energy for a couple of days, hate it! @louby_lou69 sending hugs to you my lovely, I know exactly how you feel, I'm on FEC every three weeks (my last one of these is next Wednesday, I'll be half way through then like most of you, I start the dreaded, I've been told this is tougher, Docetaxel for 3 more rounds) results in a sore mouth, indigestion, hot flushes ...pants!!! @amy46 yep I am with you everyone is gifting me herbal teas, sugar free sweets and anything containing ginger all of which I am not a fan 😂 Although someone I haven't seen for a few years but is a facebook friend kindly sent me two chemo beanies yesterday which I thought was lovely. @aliess hugs to you to my lovely, hope you get some positive results today and manage to get out and about, wish I lived nearer the sea. I will give you a shout if I am in your neck of the woods in future hopefully I'll be there next May for a Pet Shop Boys gig 😃 I managed a ride out on my bike yesterday, a 5 mile round trip to the nearby Clarks village, first thing in the morning so very few were about, I am not allowed near a supermarket but can go shopping in smaller retail establishments with caution mask and gloves, Seasalt had gone...I was gutted... as I loved your snoods Ali but I did manage to get a couple of plainer ones in Mountain Warehouse (they have at present become my headwear of choice) I did feel better for it. I hope to get out for a longer cycle at the weekend with my eldest son (23), we used to do 15 to 20 miles rides before this 💩 show. Right I'm off to see what delights my middle fiddle has purchased for us all as I sent her to Tescos this morning....you give them a list but they always shop off list and you never know what you will find in the bag to wipe down (covid still high here) 😂 ! Hope everyone has a good a day as they can. Much love Sue xxx
