hi im 36 mother of 3 n diagnosed dec 23. ive had 2 ops n 5 of 6 chemo n finding it very hard at mo. feel so peed off n cant get rid of that feeling. would love to chat. x
everyone seems to be in a better place this last few days, a bit more upbeat if thats possible when going through chemo. At the moment, I'm doing ok, went wig shopping with John last fri and to be honest a bit of a disappointment, I've put 1 aside in one shop and the other shop didnt stock any but I've chosen 4 from a magazine, but thats too difficult, they come tomorrow, so goodness knows what they'll look like, going into Glasgow on saturday to look at another shop. Got an appointment with Oncologist on thurs to find out when chemo is starting, breast nurse reckons 17th June, feeling a bit apprehensive about it all, still worried about the hair loss etc, but I know i should be happy that the tumour has been taken away and that it hasn't spread. Bored at the moment, tho my house is spotless lol, using this time off work to catch up on things i never do, prob wont be caring when chemo starts. Keep posting cause it makes my day. Love to you all. Col x
Well had my last chemo yesterday yeah!! Unfortunately didn't feel to good had to come home and go to bed at 2.00 p.m. woke up at 5.00 p.m. feeling nauseaous (God how I hate that side effect) took back up pills and had some soup then didn't move until this morning. Had to get up to take pills otherwise I don't think I would have moved. District nurse has just been to give me my neulasta injection, they say you can do it yourself but the thought gives me the shivers. Just got the radiotherapy to look forward to now, yipee!!
I'm so glad that I managed to cheer some of you up with my tales of misfortune.
Colly, no your not the only one, my sister and I seem to have inheritated this from our dad. He used to get upset when we laughed at his mishaps but they were sooo funny Hope you get your wig sorted and find the one you like. Housework, now I'm going to have to tell you off for using such a terrible word on such a lovely forum as this, it's just not on My motto is if you've got an excuse, use it. Although I have to admit to clearing out the odd cupboard that the back of hasn't seen the light of day in a long time. Right I'm off to wash my mouth out!!!!
Fifi321, anyone is welcome to join our gang, although wish it was under different circumstances. Strawberry blonde, like that. That's my new hair colour from now on, sounds a lot better than grey or white.
Loumack, I do thing it's deplorable that anyone suffering from a serious long term illness, be it cancer or anything else has to go searching and fighting for help financialy or otherwise. It seems to me that half the information is gleaned from other patients. It shouldn't be like this. I hope you manage to get things sorted soon. Can't bear to think of you living like gnomes in the shed at the bottom of the garden, although your kids might think it's fun just like Leonie's.
I found quite a few tips on the internet on different ways of tying scarfs which were inspiring.
Leonie, it isn't easy, in fact it sucks, telling your kids they can't have some thing. I've been there when I had no job and just separated from my husband. We've shared McDonald's before now Even went to black and white tv cause I couldn't afford a colour licence. Sometimes it has to be done but I sat the kids down and explained it to them and God love em, they understood. Just keep your chin up not long now.

Well done Patricia,Hope you start to feel better quickly now that you are no longer being poisoned.Hope you will be like me during radiotherapy,no side effects but I wish they would tattoo a dolphin or something instead of a black blob.They could aim for the dolphins eye.New research is using the radiotherapy during the op so perhaps future ladies will not have to have the 5 weeks.Good luck to you and all the ladies on here.I love reading all your blogs.
