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
great to hear from you, no Im not on the Taxotere- not sure why not, my breast nurse says its up to the oncologist some do and some dont we seem to have gone through the same with regards the cancer and then the operation so Im not really sure why I havnt had it too, hope this doesnt mean they have avoided giving me something that I may have needed!! anyway Its so wonderful to hear you only have 1 left, it should be a double celebration for us as I think it will work out that you will finish your rads the same time I have my last chemo...... hallelujah
We shall definitely raise a glass to one another on that day.
as promised here is my new look. hoping to get lots of possitive feedback, just lie to me! only joking. i hope it will in some way help you ladies. no laughing at earlugs mind.
i will be celebrating with you when your treatment ends.
What a lovely picture.... I know that you are talking about your hairsyle, but what I noticed first was your lovely smile and how healthy your skin looked.
Hi lee it's all to do with our own bodies we're all diff so I'm sure there is a very good reason why we're on diff treatment. Yeah you are just one behind me, not be long now, just can't wait for this hair to grow back in, just not into wig at all but I know I'll need to just get used to it. Leonie you look fab girl. I look like benjamin button lol. Tho funny caz should mention your skin, i must say mine is very smooth at mo, maybe chemo is like a face lift lol. We really need to organize a night somewhere and catch up that would be nice. Col x
i came to see if there was any progress on caz, hope you are feeling much better - the advice given is so right!!! And I half expected to come away today from here feeling a bit blue, but once again, the strength and love that radiates from every message is so wonderful. I get the results of my 2nd op on weds then the discussions between the team on friday so i expect chemo to start pretty soon. i am finding i am getting nervous about that and once again your comments have bucked me up.
hope all going well.Sara Good like for results xxx big positive vibes coming your way.

thank u all again for this place it helps me so much
Hi Nina well done to your very clever daughter, I'm sure she'll work very hard and play hard too. The injection I couldn't give to myself, I'm like a big kid, my sis in law is a nurse and she gives me mine, it certainly didn't give me any side effects. Hello to all the ladies and Tony if your about xx
Hope you do not mind me jumping in on your chat, I have not been on the site as much lately I just do not get the time as I have now come back to work and nearly back to full time (I must be mad).
Caz I have been following your story on here and I take my hat of to you and so glad for you that you came to the decision you did, what courage you have shown to all. I am glad to hear you are also back home, just make sure you take plenty of rest and let everyone else run around for you, rest is a great healer. A big hug is sent to you.
Nina I am having my 8th and last chemo on Friday, my first 4 were FEC and the last 4 will all be Texeter, with all of them I have had the injection same as us all and yes some people do get the aches and pains for a day or two but just take some painkillers, if the hospital has not given you any then just give them a ring and they will let you know what to take as everyone's pain barrier is different. I am glad to hear your daughter is setteling into Uni, believe me the time will fly by for you and her and it does become easier for you, just think on the bright side less washing, less tidying up need I go on lol.
I had my appointment with the Consultant last week regarding my Radiotherapy, he informed me it would be 4 - 7 weeks after my last chemo session that I will start, I am feeling a little aprehensive as I have read and heard some story's about the lasting pains etc that you get, would it be possible for one of you ladies who have gone through of going through this stage to drop me a line to explain a little more about the side effects as I would really appreciate this.
Anyway better stop writing now as I am at work after all, take care everyone
Littlesis
ps Has anyone heard or spoken to Tony lately as I ahve not seen anything from him
Well done on your first treatment, you seem to have done really well. I had a few pains in my back after the first injection, but had nothing after the second time. I have my 3rd FEC on Thursday and then on the Taxotere for the last 3. I am a bit nervous about the last 3 as Colly said she had bad aches and pains - but I have taken note Colly about staying in bed for a few days after.:love: Keep walking the dog!!! It is great to get out and we are having some great weather at the mo.
Lonie you look great and well done on getting a night out it must be great to get out. I am going to be on herceptin also for a further 9 months after the chemo, how are you finding it? What side effects are you getting?
Good luck Sara for the results today, I am sure once you have them and after your appointment on Friday you will feel better, and well done on the exercise. That is what I really miss, I used to do so much before - pilates, walking and even boot camp! I have been out for a walk this morning and try to as much as I can, but nothing like seeing the girls at the classes. You write a lovely post, I sometimes struggle with what to say you always write something to cheer us up.
Tony - yes where are you??? Hope all is ok.
Dizzy - I hope you are feeling ok after the chemo.
Best wishes to all and keep on writing....................
Lots of Love
Anne
