Don't talk to me about chemo brain....I find myself staring out of my window blankly and before I know it 10 minutes have gone past...I also forget things so easily...
Caz, glad you have finally had a bit of great news, well deserved.
Colly, was the blanked/starred out word eye? I think the word police have gone a bit mad as I put the opposite of heaven on my thread hell and it was starred out!
Patricia, let us know how you are doing we will walk with you at this time and support you through your challenges.
just wanted to send my love to you all and also to let you know that I've just joined facebook so if any of you would like to add me as a friend I'd be very priveleged I'm Louise Mackenzie- Sheffield.
(Mind you I'm not very good at getting around it at the mo my 11 yr old is having to show me!!) Love lou
My picture on facebook is acopy of a family portrait. I've got blond hair its a photo we had done before all my treatment started. I've got a stripey dress on and we are all sat down, me nigel and the four children. Whats your name on face book
Caroline- I think the thing you were called in for is the same as the thing that I've got to have looked at this week. I had my first mammogram since treatment finished and I've been called in for them to have a more detailed scan. The mammogram showed what they described as 'grains of salt,' which could be as a result of surgery/radiotherapy - it's basically calcification of dead cells...at least that's what I'm hoping it is as they may take a core biopsy just to be sure. The roller coaster you describe is never ending ay!

It was so strange... I always said at the begining of all this, (when I was first diagnosed) that it's the not knowing that is the worst..... but I was wrong... I was so much more worried when I went with this last lump, as I knew what to expect.... Scared me to death
It's still pretty odd having these lumps in my chest and doing nothing about them.... but I guess I will get used to them.
I don't know if it will affect my reconstruction or not... I will ask the surgeon when I go back in 3 weeks.
Chassis... I'm so sorry you have joined us.... but welcome to the family honey
When I first got diagnosed everything snowballed, what started out with me being booked in for a lumpectomy on my right breast, ended up with me having a double mastectomy........ I thought my world was ending... but the people on here were brilliant... When I thought I had come to the end of my tether, they talked to me.... when I thought that i couldn't go on.... they helped me...... and when I started to crumble... they lifted me back up.
Without the wonderful people on this site... I wouldn't be the woman I am today
You are now part of that family..... on here you can talk about anything.... stuff you cant talk to you family about (no matter how brilliant they are) and we will all help you..... and you in turn will help other people
Nobody has to cope with anything alone
Lou... I have added you on facebook.... didn't realise that you're only 10 minutes up the road from me
If anybody else wants to add me on facebook... Caroline Stevens.... the profile picture is the same as on here
Shent's... You will have to let me know how you get on as I will have to have the core biopsy next time if they are still there
