Hi All - went to have womb scan and there is nothing to worry about at all....Just shows how we are fast tracked just in case and I am forever grateful for that. It appears that I have ovarian cysts - which I have had before I had breast cancer....He wants to see me in three months to look at the cysts again and then decide what he wants to do. Big lesson for me is to go to the GP when any spotting occurs - I had not appreciated the link with Tamoxifen. Best regards to you all.... I do love this site and the expertise we all bring. xxxxxxxx

Soooo pleased at your blood results....Such good news. My scan is next Wednesday 27th June. Fingers crossed.. You are right and isn't it great, that the medical profession do not take any chances with us....I think I was just a little alarmed at the appointment being made there and then.....I am feeling a little more human than I was yesterday....... Thank you - will keep you posted. Heather xx

Thanks for responding - Hope the operation goes smoothly and you managed to put your feet up for a few weeks...I am so grateful hearing your news - it really does put my mind at rest. Having been clear for a number of years, I had almost forgotten how knowledgeable everyone is on here....Great support at times of worry. very best wishes and good luck for the operation. Heather xx

Evie - thank you so much for your response....I feel so well but got a in a bit of a pickle yesterday...I was on Tamoxifen for 5 years but have been off it for a few years so maybe the link is not there....I am trying to keep my feet on the floor and be sensible....I also know from experience that the unknown is the worst place to be and once the tests are complete and I know what I am facing, I will be up for the fight. I had forgotten just how supportive this website is - and responses are always from someone who has been through the same. Tests next week and I will feel better after that. Again, thanks for your much appreciated post. Love Heather xx

Hi - I did not see your post before I posted my post on post tamoxifen. I am in the same boat and I am sure that the doctor is being over-cautious....However, I was shocked at how quickly the scan was arranged (whilst I was sitting with the GP)....Maybe with our history, we will panic everytime something needs investigating. Maybe it is a good thing and makes us realise that we must act on anything strange. I really hope your results are back now and you are in a better place...Sometimes just waiting for tests and results is far worse than the known.....Good luck xxx

Was so sorry to read this thread. Dawn was one in a million. I had breast cancer back in 2007 and she supported me throughout my treatment (along with many others on here)....Thought she would go on for ever...What an inspiration to us all.....RIP lovely lady xxxx

I am slightly concerned as I am being sent for a priority appointment to 'exclude cancer' in the womb. On undertaking a bit of research, I gather that Tamoxifen may give an increased risk but I was totally unaware of this...Has anyone else encountered post-Tamoxifen problems or any problems with slight spotting. Am worried as thought I was in the clear.....Thanks for reading...

Hi - I have also just hit 5 years - I remember your name well from the constant support needed to get through the initial treatment. Also had the fear of not seeing children grow up.....Youngest is now off to secondary school and I really never thought I would see....Take heart all you newbies, it does get better in the majority of cases.....Good luck to you all.....H xx

It was a very fitting send-off and we all know who would have approved...
It was great to meet all the GG in action and I can see why Kate was so fond of you all....
Much love

I am so sad to read this post and find another family devastated by this awful disease and more children left without their mother. I know Dippykate and Peggy were close and I hope that they are sharing something somewhere ..
Two funerals for our lovely members in two days - it is just too much.
Love and thoughts to Peggy's family and RIP Peggy...
Love
Heatherlou

Hi All...Have just spoken to Kate and she wanted me to relay the following:
Message from Kate
QUOTE - At moment everything uncertain. I am still testing positive for flu but it is not giving me any signs or symptoms – therefore I can go to the Hospice when a side room becomes available. It is now unlikely that I will be well enough to have any more chemo because the cancer is growing so fast and my heart is failing. Although I am better than I was, miracles are unlikely – I really feel we have reached a plateau. Lymphaginitis and heart causing problems so fluid can’t be drained from the heart…the lymphaginitis means that there is little room for the lungs to physically expand – hence breathlessness.
Thanks for your support.
Love Kate

If Kate does get to the hospice, she has wifi access ..
Lots of love

Hi All,
I went to see Kate in hospital last night - and have to say I was pleasantly surprised. She still has her lovely rosey cheeks - I stayed for about half an hour and she did most of the talking.. Kate is truly a legend in so many ways....
She dictated the following for me....(I hope I got it right!!)
Sats (I think this is oxygen saturation levels) at 94-97% on 60 % oxygen....better than November when she recorded 60% Sats. Once she has got rid of the virus, which she describes as a type of fluey cold, she will go to the Hospice for Rehab. Following this, she is going to have a bit more chemo and will start on Vinorelbine, which is the last chemo available.

Will be thinking of you tomorrow Kate - and hope that the chemo will ease the symptoms that are currently concerning you..We all know how well you have responded to various chemo regimes in the past...so fingers crossed for the next round.
Lots of love
