Breast Cancer Now Forum

I'm with you there Tara, come on summer, just one another big long flourish to take us into October! Been gardening like mad this week too, I used to hate it but now I love it and try to get out there most days (think I might be a fair weather gardener though and my enthusiasm will diminish once the weather turns). Sam, how are your pots? Are you going to make any Christmas themed ones? Hope things settle down for you soon Sal. Jx ... View more

And you too Sal! Hope the sunshine and the weather stays warm for everyone! Xx ... View more

So pleased you had a relatively stress free time today Tara - the wait is the nuisance but I'm sure it'll be fine. Spent day cleaning and now feel exhausted (moved furniture etc). Won't be long before its back to its messy self with the dogs and teenagers in the house. Love to all xx ... View more

Oh no, how annoying for you.  I hope whatever it is that you manage to resolve things as soon as it is possible for you so you can have peace of mind.  Jx ... View more

Yes, hope all goes well tomorrow Tara and you are seen quickly.   Sal, hope today went well for you too.   Sam, your pots sound lovely, you must be very creative!  Tracy, hope all is ok with you and being back at work and school runs etc is too much of a shock after the summer holidays?!   Love to all   Jx ...

Where has the rest of my message gone?!? Must be user error but can't understand why? Was saying about 3 days of stiffness in arm and chest on bad side after flight and my new addiction to surfing web for holidays (in my dreams). Anyway just wanted to wish you all a lovely dry and sunny (ummm) weekend! Jx ... View more

Hello all, I hope everything goes well with all your appointments, I will be thinking of you all. I am now home after an amazing time in Vietnam - fabulous sights, friendly people and wonderful food! The heat was a challenge though - 39c feeling like 47c! Flight back was 13 hours and I found I really stiffened up f ... View more

That's such good news! I've been thinking about you and wondering how you were getting on.  I hope you can now relax a little and have a good time with your family and of course the lovely Bella.  Love Jxx ... View more

I agree totally with Tara, it is a normal response so don't feel embarrassed.  I panic whenever I have to see a consultant or have an MRI or Mammogram (booked in for October - already stressing!). Sending lots of love  Jx ... View more

Aww, poor little thing, I expect he will be very upset, but as you have said he will bounce back and it's not like you are walking out of his life completely and won't be in touch. It must be pulling on your heart strings though and it sounds really hard on you. You must be emotionally exhausted with all the topsy turvy in your life at the moment. I hope today isn't too upsetting and you have lots of happy moments. Jxx ... View more

Oh Sal, I'm sorry to hear that you have this worry hanging over you, it's not surprising that you are fed up. Sending you lots of love. xxx ... View more

Hello folks, sorry I haven't been in touch, I am on holiday in Vietnam at the moment - so exciting! Just to say good luck with your scan Sal and love to all. Will catch up with you when I'm back. Xx ... View more

Hello everybody, what an absolute faff I have had trying to get onto the forum! Anyway after several tries I have managed to get in! Tara, I share your frustration which must have been made worse by your day at work. I hope you manage to have a better evening and get to relax a little. Sam, what a fantastic sum to raise! I hope you enjoy your break with Alex and get plenty of sunshine and good food. Sal, hope you are ok now and things are running a little more smoothly for you, and Tracy - Florida, lucky thing! My friend has had her chemo delayed for another week so she just wants to get on with it. Had appointment with surgeon last Saturday and all seems ok, have MRI and mammogram in November to look forward to. Love to all. Xx ... View more

Oh Sal I'm really sorry to hear that, you have had such a rough time of it.  I really do hope that the antibiotics kick in asap and you feel much better soon.  It's pouring with rain here too but that's fine as I think we probably need the rain (or at least the garden does). Sam, I hope the rain stays away for you and you have a fun time on Sunday and raise lots of money.     Just found out that a friend of mine has been diagnosed, she starts chemo next week. I feel sad as I know what a horrible slog it all is and how her life will be changed but I am trying my best to put on as much of a positive spin on things as I can as otherwise its all too daunting, especially when you have first been diagnosed.     Hope everyone is ok.. Love Jx ... View more

Hope all goes well with your appointments on Wednesday Sal and you don't have any major delays. Going to Istanbul next week for a few days with a friend and my youngest so that will be interesting- and very hot apparently! I'm excited but apprehensive too. Been gardening like mad which I love but everything is so dry, I hate to say it but we need rain. Hope you are all ok. Jx ... View more

Wow it's warm! Trying to get to sleep but it's too hot! Good to read everyone's updates, I've not been up to much so not a lot to report here! Tara, how long before you finish your job? Sal, you must really hate the heat, and Sam I hope you managed to cool down. Well must try to get some sleep - fat chance I think! Love to all. Jx ... View more

That's great news Sal. This will be a great opportunity for you I'm sure! Jxxx ... View more

The evils of eBay eh? I have limited my time on there as I can spend days just looking at stuff. I like Achica to look at too. Xx ... View more

2lb is 2lb better than me! Well done for keeping going, you must have good will power! I have just scoffed a bar and a half of chocolate (why do they sell them at that size -it's very mean to those of us who just give in to temptation). Been in the garden pottering around and enjoying a bit of sunshine. Love to all. Jx ... View more
