Hi Shents,

Thanks for that.  I thought being told 14 months ago that I had breast cancer would be bad enough but today has to have been THE worst day of my life so far.  Watching my granddaughter playing, oblivious to what is happening and seeing my son and my granddaughters mum fall to pieces. If I could turn back that damd clock!!!!  My son and I have spent the evening telling close family. On top of this I neglected to mention my dad was taken into hospital two weeks ago and at the time it looked like he wouldn't be coming home.  My head is spinning! I just felt I needed to talk to some friendly faces.

I am so sorry you have had such terriable news .She is in my prayers and if she is anything like her grandmother she will be made of strong stuff.

Hi Patricia I have just come on totalk about the week I'v had but its nothing compared to what yoiu must be going through at the moment. All I can offer you is my thoughts and prayers and like everyone try to take one day at a time and lookafter yourself as much as you can because knowing the sort of person you seem to be you will want to be there for your family. Much love and abig hug sent to you.

Keep us up to date if you can but in the meantime you know we are here

I have to say I think its amazing that you have joined a gym. I have just had a week of being in and out of hospital and its left me totally drained I've not even had a full day out of bed. I'v just finished my first cycle of my new chemo and have picked up and infection and had alot of pain in my lower back and shooting pains down my legs. They were worried that I might have some spinal compression but after testing strength off legs and reflexes they think the pain is just from the cancer thats in my bones. I keep thinking I'll never be able to even just go for a stroll without experiencing pain but they have given me stronger pain relief so hopefully this will help. Its so frustrating not being active and I take my hat of to all you that are getting back to normality.

On the hair thing hopefully I won't loose my hair with this chemo but after my first chemo cycles finished my hair came through thick and fast and I actually had it trimmed the other day. UnfortunATELY my body hair was alot thicker and darker but my eyelashes have come back longer so thats a bonus.  My hair is slightly curly too!

Much love sent to you all haven't siad hi to you all personally but you know I'm thinking of you.

Love Lou

Happy birthday for tomorrow,make it a good one !!!!

I think creams are ok,waxing may be a bit iffy because it could leave the area sore and open to infection which is why you shouldnt shave in case you nick the skin and the infection could set up lymphodema.Electric razors are Ok though.

Hope you have a lovely time.
