HI everyone
We may have to cancel live chat next week as we have some technical issues caused by changing over to the new site. We are hoping to run the session but thought it best to warn you in advance.
Best wishes

Hi Boogs and welcome to the forums. As sparkler has said you will find a wealth of knowledge on these forums and you will get a lot of support and info from people who have been there. In the meantime you might find this information helpful
http://beta.breastcancercare.org.uk/server.php?show=nav.335
also if you go to the top of this category you will find a thread 'top tips on chemo' which covers lots of real experience from women undergoing chemo
All the best

Hi everyone
If you have secondary breast cancer, that is breast cancer that has spread to another part of your body, then do join us at our next session. (Tuesday 6th Jan from 8.30pm - 9.30pm).
There is an expert breast care nurse and a trained facilitator present to run the session. If you have secondary breast cancer and would like to join then you need to be registered on the forums. Then at 8.30 just go to https://breastcancercare.chatjet.com/bcc/index.html type in your user name and password and join the chat.
Can I remind everyone that this session is only for people with secondary breast cancer. There is a general session on Thursday if you have primary breast cancer.

Hi Helen and all
I just wanted to give a bit of advice regarding alternatives to HRT. Before you take anything do check with your medical team as some alternative remedies can adversely interact with your prescribed medicines.

Hi Mazaroo
Nothing you are describing suggests a problem with the Tamoxifen, if you would like to reassure yourself then go to
http://www.breastcancercare.org.uk/docs/tamoxifen__november_06_0.pdf
where you will find more info about how tamoxifen works and its side effects.

Hi everyone
I just thought I would pop in to remind you all that the forums will be running right over the Christmas period and we will have our BCC hosting team here. So if you are feeling lonely or down then do log on and post.
If you want to talk to someone over the bank holiday then we would strongly recommend that you call the Samaritans - you don't have to be feeling suicidal, they are there to help anyone who is in emotional distress. As they say
‘Samaritans provides confidential non-judgemental emotional support, 24 hours a day for people who are experiencing feelings of distress or despair, including those which could lead to suicide.
Whatever you're going through, whether it's big or small, don't bottle it up. We are here for you if you're worried about something, feel upset or confused, or just want to talk to someone.’
Their phone number is 08457 90 90 90
Best wishes to you all

Hi Kate and everyone
We know from previous years on the forums that Christmas can be a difficult time. Last year we opened up a special category for people to talk about Christmas - both the positive and the difficulties. We were going to do this again this year in a few days but I can do it straight away if you want.
Just let me know
