Breast Cancer Now Forum

Same here, Beryl. GP was so funny:"i put you though one of the most expensive tests available and you are so boring. Just arthritis". Seemed crazy to be celebrating arthritis but that's where we are now! Isn't life strange? xx ... View more

Hi Mags Like Ali my bloods came back clear. I guess this is my "Normal" now? But it doesn't stop me worrying! Hope you are ok. Let me know xx ... View more

Forgot to say thanks for replying. I am so rude! xx ... View more

That was what the Gp suspects. Did you stay on Tamoxifen? My gp suggested I might be referred back to the breast unit xx ... View more

Helloooo Francine! How are you? Your message could be perfectly timed: Sharon, Cheryl and I are meeting up next Saturday in London if you would care to join us? I'm coming up to see ELO at Wembley and we have snatched to opportunity for a catch up. No times arranged as yet. It would be lovely to meet you too. All the fun and banter is over on Facebook these days. Beryl is another non Facebooker.You should both sign up and join in! Speaking on behalf of the Marchers, there have been ups and downs for us all but I think we're all thriving. We shall be getting together as a larger group when we can all agree a date. If/when we do someone will post details on here. Lovely to see you peeking over the parapet again! Love Rose xx ... View more

Oh Beryl! We will definitely have to arrange another meeting so you can be included. How about we call Oct 4th a trial run?! So we can make sure everything will be perfect for you. I have your email address so will try to gather my tech skills and send you the photos. A spring meet up sounds good. Love Rose xx ... View more

Brilliant!!! Sharon is going to choose the exact meeting place but it will be in/close to King's Cross. Time is about 11:00 which is when most of our trains get us into London. People will be coming into different stations but should be able to get there for about then. As for recognising each other? Just watch out for a group of wonky booked confused looking women... Most of us have linked up on Facebook so have seen photos. Any chance you are on there? So far we have Cheryl, Beryl, Eileen, Judi, Francine, Sharon, me and you. This is going to be such fun! Really hope you can make it xxx ... View more

Also begging! Please come, Pandora. We need you to complete the set! xxx ... View more

Oh Sharon, so sorry to hear this. Bloody cancer. Both my grandmothers were taken by cancer but different ones so I never considered anything genetic when mine came along. It's a hateful, horrible disease and you must be feeling overwhelmed after your own experience and then having to cope with all this family sadness. Please continue to rant and share on here. It's a good, safe place as we all know and we all love and support each other as best we can. Love you xxxx ... View more

Have you found us yet? Not that I'm impatient or anything!!! ... View more

And I am Rosemary Berry, profile is me with my son propping himself up on my head. Look forward to meeting you on there! Much more immediate than on here xx ... View more

Good news, Francine. Bet you can't wait. My son was once in an ankle to thigh cast through summer. You should have seen the colour of the water after his first bath - all that sloughed skin. Eeeuughhh! Over on Facebook Sharon is bullying us all into making and bringing cakes with us to the Big Meet! So far the plan is to meet up at a landmark of her choice in or near Kings Cross at 11 or thereabouts. On from there to somewhere for a nice lunch then we can decide what we want to do after that. Very excited! xx ... View more

This is really going to happen! It looks as if there is a majority coming into Kings Cross. May I suggest we meet there initially? Say 11:00-ish and go on from there? There must be some kind of landmark we can congregate around? Unless you can come up with something more suitable, Sharon? I am beginning to really wish we were doing this in 3 days time rather than 3 months! xxx ... View more

Judi and I will arrive there. Around 10:45 ish xx ... View more

Quick headcount: Judi, Sharon, Francine, Eileen, Cheryl, Beryl (I love putting those names together!) and me. And Sue Bee in spirit too. We must find a way to send her some photos. Pandora? Any chance you could join us ? So excited xxxx ... View more

If everyone posts their arrival point we can arrange where to congregate and move on from there? Or we could all meet up at a lovely lunch place? What do you think? xx ... View more

Hi. Judi and I have booked trains arriving into Kings X just before 11:00. I'm guessing we may all be coming into different stations? Sharon, as our London resident, can you decide on the best place for us to gather? Francine, I really hope you can come along too. So far I think we have Cheryl, Judi, Sharon, Eileen, Beryl and me. Have I overlooked anyone? Judi and I have booked return trains about 6:00 so should be enough time to have a really good natter. We need some kind of identification sign to recognise each other. No, exposed scars would NOT be appropriate!!! Rolled up newspapers, carnation buttonholes, rads tunics? So very excited! xxx ... View more
