Hi Moonbeams. Long time since I've checked in and thought I'd catch up with you all. I'm surprised to read between the lines that things are not good with Karen. Would someone please message me with an update. I hope everyone else is doing well and life is resembling some 'normality'. Keep strong Moonbeams xx ... View more

Katherine my nails are very brittle and breaking at odd angles. I've had one tax and not had tingling or numbness. Thank god. It's such a hard regime it wiped me out for a good 9/10 days. Peabea message ChelleB if you want to join us on fb. Xx ... View more

Donata it makes me sad to read your post. I can't imagine how daunting things must feel for you and I hope you get the help and support you need.  When I was diagnosed I already had several friends who had been through treatment for bc so knew, although not pleasant, it was doable. They all recovered well and three have been clear for over 5 years.  Another, clear for 3 years, ran the marathon this year. I take my inspiration from them and know that once my treatment is complete I will feel stronger and thankful that I got through it all and have my life ahead of me. I hope you will feel the same as life is precious and so are you. xxx   ... View more

Morning Jewels. Enjoying a lazy morning eating toast and drinking tea. Not much energy but not beating myself about it just taking each day as it comes . Hope you're all doing fine. Xx ... View more

It's been a journey Marie but you've made it! So pleased for you. Take care and keep rested. Xx ... View more

Carolann don't forget you had major surgery only 3 weeks ago. The body takes 6 weeks to recover. You are also experiencing the emotional implications of BC and what it means. Please take it easy on yourself. Take each day as it comes and don't expect too much from yourself. With regards to chemo it isn't easy but its doable. Take all the help you can and focus on getting through each cycle and you'll get there. Good luck xx ... View more

Morning Jewels. Where are you all? Still haven't heard from lots of you for a while. It seems the last cycle or 2 have been really tough for so many if us, both emotionally and physically. Having the support here is fantastic so please pop in and let us know how you're doing. Xxx ... View more

Morning Jewels. Is anyone at the bar today? If so its a cooler day so chill out and relax xx I'm still suffering monster period 😒 Have only been out of the house twice this week. Meant to be going to a friends for lunch so I am going to try and muster some energy. She had mx, chemo etc last year so we'll compare notes I'm sure. Have a good day Jewels. I know its been a tough ride for so many of us it makes the support on here all the more important xxx ... View more

Thanks Helm. How are things going with you? The bcn told me today to make an ap with gp as chemo should stop periods, although my onc said everyone's different. I'm just worried its gone on so long and to be honest its draining me 😞 ... View more

Hey Marion are you out partying already?! Hope everyone's trip was uneventful. So many Jewels MIA . I hope this forum isn't proving difficult for some to get the hang of. Still not feeling 100%. BcN said to make an ap with gp re period and they can't fit me in till 17th! So will try tomorrow. I'm getting worried something more is going on now. Any ladies who have been or were going through he menopause, did you have long heavy periods? Xx ... View more

Hi Jewels Well i've managed to shove the train off and things are looking brighter.....although still have monster period (when will it blumming stop?!) and furry yukey mouth. Have really been a recluse since sunday so i think i'll have to shake myself off tomorrow and get out of the house. Marion - bet you're looking forward to graduating? I won't say any of the cliches as they wind me up 😉 Lets hope you get through the next few weeks with minimal side effects and can start planning something to celebrate . The lush bar shampoo I wrote about is from a shop called Lush. You can usually smell them before see them! I don't know if its any good but they're made from natural products so can't be harmful (although so is Tax and look what that bu**er does!!) I've looked up the fast shampoo and its got good reviews so I may well invest once chemo's finished. Its quite expensive though. Another credit card bashing!! http://www.boots.com/en/FAST-Shampoo-Conditioner-Set-300ml_1303094/ Sorry can't scroll back to check who else is at the bar tomorrow but I wish you all luck and hope the hangover is minimal xx ...

Anyone got a crane to lift me out of bed. I need to get to hosp but monster period is still taking it out of me and when I stand I'm so lightheaded. Phoned unit. Thanks Sandra for the push! And need to get bloods checked and picc needs flushing anyway but I just want to sleep. The boys are lounging around in different states of undress, attached to machines and I've no energy to bother with them and think they've forgotten I'm here. Might have to text them I need a drink!! ... View more

Good luck all ladies at the bar today. Xx Tasha my mx scar becomes very tender and tight after chemo but eases as s/e's do. Keep doing the exercises. ... View more
