Well it is nearly fpur years since the dark dark woods enticed me into the black humour that helped so many regain NED.. I saw a carpet of bluebells today and the old memories of lemon drizzle cake and drinks at the yurk returned. Soddit that lovely dog and my old nest in the yew tree for comfort and the big C was fought off. Friends on the tangled web along the way....Super Trouper, Revcat, Ducky, Choccie Muffin, Norbite Lulu and last but so important dearest Mavis whose BCC name has gone with the old chemo brain. The sleep fairies still run away and don't do their jobs well but I am here to complain....something I didn't expect then when wandering around the sticky pond of chem. Thank you so much SACO from all of us for starting this thread. Birds without feathers I salute you all. Xxxx

I too will miss lovely Lulu so much.It is hard to be a breast care nurse and develope the condition you know so much about. She helped so many people on this forum and facebook. We spent many a night during chemo posting to each other. What a loss. I have for some reason not been able to post on facebook so was unable to send my sorrow at hearing the sad news. God Bless cackles

Well after many a month I reopened the forum and you were all there.....Fantastic .Afternoon everybody.
I thought I would add a different animal to the group's pet talk.. Four of us were having tea beside the Thames. "that is a capybara " announced Hilly. We looked at her...she is a bit loopy...but she had only sunk tea all day. I took a quick look and thought it was a deer with no ears....Lots of excitement and photos taken then the thoughts..is he dangerous? A quick Google his name is Jack and he caused a mild sensaation when he plonked his big backside next to a picnic group at the regatta.!!
so good to see you are all posting
hugs

I am devastated to hear this. Laurie was such a positive happy person. I will remember the joy she had in her convertable "Beetle" when we all met at Potmaids for lunch. Many a night during chemotherapy was spent in her company.
My heartfelt condolences to her family.

I wasn't aware of Breast Cancef Care doing cold calls. It might be worth checking if they do. I know I wouldn't be without these forums or the Helpline and information booklets and that all takes money and like lots of smaller charities this is very tight. Unlike the big boys they can't afford TV adverts.
You could ring the Helpline and ask them.
A lot of scams mask themselves with collecting for breast cancer. My mother often has clothes bags put through the door.....they are not for BCC just criminals or fraudsters making a large amount of money.
I have just noticed there is a feedback section on the website under "about us". You could make your point on it.

JCJ I remember the days when ANY hair was to be valued. It was strange that legs plumage grew faster than the pate.
Grumpy Tootsy Pup will so enjoy being festooned ready for the play. Lots od doggie treats to be provided. I am going to the Queen's Farm shop tomorrow or rather today!!!! So I will get some of their fantastic marrow bones.
All these fantastic Carols....I will try doing one tomorrow but don't expect anything of quality.

You poor things, I too am thinner on top but it is not too bad so far. The lighter your hair is the less it shows so go for the blonde look!!!! It wasn't me that went to the doctor. I think somebody from the Helpline at BCC knows the number for the tricology gurus..... At least I think it is tricology!!!

Poor Mary Grace. They used to only give Tamoxifen for two to three years because of your problem? So don't feel too exposed. Come and shelter in the JM.
GIJane don't forget Soddit as a cushion and support!!! He looks sooooo lovely.

Poor Rosiechin you do sound at the end of your teather. Have you told your local doctor how you feel? There is no shame in admitting to depression. It is such a rotten thing to have had all the losses you have had in your life. No wonder you are upset.
You have so much more living to do so a bit of help to get you back into normality would make such a difference. Do as others have said ring the Helpline. It can beso helpful to tell somebody how you feel and let all that emotion out.
You have been so brave to post on the forums it means you do want help......and you have taken control and moved folward.
I will be thinking about you. Keep posting

Sika tney will have to take the whole specimen to histopathology where it is processed and waxed. Then all the nodes are counted and examined . It will take at least a week to get full results and a report written.
A ling time for you but they do have hundreds of surgical specimens to do each week.

Supertrouper a goat is sooooooo important. I have been an old one for years. As for a beard I could lend hom some hairs if his isn't long enough.
GI JANE he is the pin up of my cancer story.... What a dog. The star of the Wild wood with all its fears and joys.
Revcat you put the Bard to shame.
Now bed time......yet again that elusive sleep fairy is avoiding me.

Golly gosh these Camels are going to be STARS or do they folliw one?. GI Jane do join us if you have never done Nativity before. soddoit can be the " camel" dog". He is my shining Star after all his support this time last year. Mind you Supertrouper wasn't too bad either!!!
Tri humps phant!!!!! Is it a new elephant????? whatever next......two artificial humps are bad enough ..... Perhaps somebody has had obe too many in the JM. BRING IT ON. I have a part!!!!! Wheee..eee... One two three humps who cares who takes the Hump......what a play!!!! Lovely jubbly.
Vecors those Frogs....do they sing well? It is perfect weather for them here in deepest Bucks. Wet and mild.
Please keep those crocs and aligators where they are......i don't like them....it must be a childhood thing. My. Paternal grandma had a stuffed one in the bedroom I was put to sleep in...strange people those Victoriams. I suppose it made a change from Crown Derby or Fairings. Thinking back I wish I had some of her bits now. I prefered Habitat In the sixties....no taste. Even now my kids don't want my cast offs.
A friend has just left with a wolf dog......soft as butter and so well behaved and pretty. It stars in lots of films and adverts.....perhaps it could give us all an introduction to the BIG SCREEN
Grumpy it might know producers even more famous than you. They might give you a few tips etc.....not that you need them......i think you are oerfect.....do have a rum truffle.

Cp if you have lymphovadcular invasion they offer you chemotherapy because it is given through the blood system
It is designed to knock out any fast growing cells eg cancer cells... ALL over the body. It sounds barbaric but it is very effective and increases survival times. The worst side effect is hair loss closely followed by extreem fatigue. You will be amazed at how quickly it is over. Do join a " having Chemo in Dec" forum. You will make friends with others going through the same side effects as you and that is a comfort.
Best wishes

Surgery is the main way of getting rid of breast cancer. Other adjuvant ( as well as) treatments are given to increase your chances of survival. It is tough but very "doable". The best way of getting through it is joining a ' having chemo in" forum tnread. People having the same side effects as you is such a comfort.
