hi sara sorry i've been so long replying i've had a rough few days,i've got the flu on top of everything else at least its only the flu which was a relief! thanks for the advice i'll be trying them and probably a lot more before i'm finished lol.i was scared stiff before i had my first radio but it was nothing like i imagined it was going to be and today i had my last one yay!! the tiredness was the main thing i battled with my advice would be rest whenever you feel tired,i didnt at the start of my treatment but i soon learnt that you need to rest when your bodys telling you to.good luck with everything take care and keep in touch.donna xx
Hey Colly - just sent a friends request- hope it comes through, will be adding some of the other wonderful people here too! i am sara carson - no profile pic as yet !!
just to let you know was at pain clinic yesterday n theres not much they can do with nerve damage but give more meds. i did however get some anaesthetic patches to put on n this helped yesterday. just got to take more pregablin if i can cope with it. it makes me very drowsy n unable to function. but got to do what you got to do!
glad you are feeling better about rads sara. will friend request you in a mo. addicted to it now..
rose hope you are well? will check on you tomorrow.
hey leonie see you there in two ! Nina i just logged onto phils face book n sent request - my god you look so beautiful in every single photo, you are an inspiriation to us all - anyone who feels down about their looks in this awful journey should go see your pics !!!
Thats when I get my reconstuction.... 20th April...... I'm going to have new boobs for the summer Yeeeeeeeeeeeeey
I'm sorry... I'm just so happy
And there is more good news........... Claire Rogers (my surgeon) told me that we are going for the inflatable implants, but she uses the new self sealing implants so.... (fingers crossed) if the implants look ok..... I will have the one operation in April, then when they are fully inflated and have been allowed to settle.... I will have another operation , under local anesthetic, to remove the tubes and ports..... and have nipples made at the same time.
And the best news of all............. My new boobs will NEVER sag.... I never have to wear a bra again if i don't want to.
I'm sorry ladies, I know some of you are still going through some serious stuff at the moment..... but I always seem to coming on here with bad news.... I thought it was about time I shared some good news with you.
I must admit, I was dreading summer... all those lovely vest tops that I didn't think I would be able to wear...... Guess who's going shopping today?
I thought I would would say Hi to you all as I have not been on in a few weeks, we had some bad news last week my 28year old niece has Lukiemeia looks like a bone marrow transplant as well, her sisters have now been checked and awaiting results, if they do ot match then the rest of the family have to be excluding me as my cancer team say I am not allowed, I just feel so bad as I can not do anything to help. Fingers crossed one the the family will match her as she is having a very bad time at the moment and is now in isolation. Has anyone got any knowledge on this as it would help me a bit?
Well I am back at the hospital next Thursday (9th) for a mamogram and to see my consultant, I am hoping to be sent to another plastic surgeon as my oncologist was not happy with what the first one wanted to do for a reconstruction, using tissue from my stomach which would then mean a tummy tuck as well, hey I wasnt complaining lol, will keep you ;posted on how it goes
Well enough of the doom and gloom
Caroline I am so happy for you it is about time you had some good news, how was your second night out on the town with the girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tony I hope this finds you well and how is it all going and how are the family
Colly how are things with you I am sorry I have not been in touch for a while but as you can see had a lot going on
Lonie I am pleased to hear they are trying to help stabalise your pain some of us have been so lucky in some ways.
Well I would also like to say hi to everyone else there is now to many to mention, take care you lovely people
Littlesis so sorry to hear about your niece, fingers crossed everything will go ok and someone in the family will be a match, unfortunately dont know anything about this at all, maybe google it, tho sometimes that can give you just too much info that you really dont need. Im doing grand thanks, got my first appt with oncologist since treatment finished on 10th march. Keep in touch or set up a facebook as most of us are on that, add me under Colette Jameson
