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
Patricia you make me laugh so much lol. Met with the Oncologist today, I've to have my bloods taken next thurs and chemo was supposed to be next day but we had tickets booked for the Ayr Races that day (alexandra burke is singing at it), nurse said fine and has booked me in for mon 21st, my big day, oh god it's going to be like a first day in a new job lol, I've to have FEC-T Chemo so Flurourcil, Epirubicin, Cyclophosphamide & Taxotere (docetaxel). It all sounds so scary, the wigs havent arrived yet, but I've bought a new dress for the races lol so thats made up for it. Speak to you all soon. Enjoy your weekend everybody xx
LOL who needs a wig, I've now got this vision of you ( don't know what you look like but go with it, I've a vivid imagination) in a stunning dress with one of those big hats they wear at Ascot. Don't know what the protocol is at Ayr races but perhaps you could start a new trend! Nice to see that the hospital let you alter your start date.
I'm feeling slightly better today up to press, long may it continue.
Hi Patricia, glad your feeling better today. I'll still have my hair for the races so no need for a hat yet lol. The dress code varies, some people wear big hats, fascinators etc but I'm not going to bother, believe it or not and my mum has a laugh at this, but my dress is a floaty maxi dress, so 70's, strange how fashion comes back round again, so don't throw out any of your clothes lol. Yeah nurses really good about changing dates, think because it's the first one another couple of days wont make a difference. Had to fill out a questionnaire yest asking questions like since having cancer, do you think about death, always, sometimes, never, they must wanna check out if your bonkers before starting chemo lol, i felt like saying come back with the same questions during chemo. Anyway planted some of my plants yest, so its nice to get out in the sun, supposed to be nice here in East Kilbride tomorrow but wet on Sun. Hope your having nice weather. Chat soon, love to all the girlies on here. Colette x
I know can't believe the fashion at the moment, trouble is even if I did still have the clothes, there's no way in hell I'd get into them!! LOL I had a long black halter neck dress, thought I looked the bees knees, I loved that dress. Just glad the platform shoes haven't made a come back, although have seen wedgies Have had to buy some new clothes since starting chemo as I put on weight (most people seem to add a few pounds, it's a combination of the steroids and not being as active) great excuse for treating myself. Didn't go for the expensive end of the high street though, as I'm hoping to loose the weight at some point, ROFL.
I can't believe you had to fill in a questionaire that asked you questions about death. I'm afraid my answer would have been 'What do you b**&%$y think?' That insensitivity makes my blood boil.
Managed to get some plants in the ground myself last weekend before the weather changed. The sun is shining sort of today and supposedly meant to be nice tomorrow (hope so, it's my birthday).
Oh no I dont want to put on any weight, luckily im not over weight but dont really want to start buying new clothes, I bought a whole load in march to go to fuerteventura thats where i found the lump, john making me eat healthily lol but i went to mcdonalds this morn and had a bacon and egg mcmuffin and pancakes and syrup lol, i had a notion and nothing was going to stop me. Have a fabulous birthday, hope you have a lovely day. Best wishes Col x
