Hi, glad everything turned out ok for you!

I have my MRI scan on wednesday...so hoping I get the resuls through quick and I know whats going on.

Good luck today. Really hope your MRI goes well n you get good results. Be thinking of you. Xx

Hi Rose, just to let you know I did tell Jon about it n he is coming with me. You were right n I was stressing myself out trying to think of a lie! Silly. At home with charly awaiting the dreaded outing. We shall see. Nina is waiting for her results n spose I'll be waiting mine later. Thanks for your support n lots of love xxxxxx

Hi All,

We seem to have moments of calm and then loads of scans, results etc. Shame there is not more calm with what we are going through.

Kindest and bestest wishes and sincere love to all the ladies!

Much Love

Aww Tony, that's the most kisses I've ever seen from you on a message! We love you lots 'our' big man. My ultrasound was clear, the lumps I have is from lymphadema. Need to see the lymph nurse. Thanks for your love n all. Lots of love to you all xxxxxx

Hello Lonie

Hope you don't mind me jumping in on your thread - as with you all as a past 'sufferer' and always read this thread.

Just wanted to mention I have moderate-level lymphedema and if I can help with any questions you have, please fire away!! Can be infuriating but just do as they tell you, always the best way.

Take care, Miras xx

Hey leonie

Really glad about the ultrasound results. Reckon that deserves a glass of something.

I hope the lymphadema isnt too bad and they manage to sort you out.

Thinking of you and all the other lovely lasses on here...and not forgetting our gorgeous Tony!

Much love

p.s. Leonie, there were lots of kisses as there seems to be so, so many people hurting from cancer....I have a friend called Barbara who is going for bowel surgery on 31May...my Christian house group that I am a member of met up last night to bless and annoint Barbara....we were asked to remember others suffering and out of 14 of us (not counting the 2 of us with cancer) there were a further 4 people noted....there has got to be a better way....I do try and stay strong but just sometimes the cracks appear in my armour :-) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Darlin Tony

(multiple kisses alert )xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hello everybody

I am feeling more like myself again... I am so sorry to hear of the worries that are plaguing a lot of you.... but please remember, we are all here to hold you up when things get tough (just the same as you all held me up)

My infection has finally gone... but emotionally I have gone downhill a little bit.... before the reconstruction, I could at least wear my "falsies" and feel pretty normal.. but now I can't even do that anymore.... I have an uninflated implant on my right side and nothing on my left (a slight bump and a dint) and they are doing nothing now for 3 months to give my body time to recover...... I try to give the appearance of it not bothering me....... but it really does.

I am sure I have told you all before that my mum has cancer too... Gastro intestinal stromal tumours..... it is terminal... but the medication she is on was supposed to give her a minimum of 5 years...... Dad told me today it will be a miracle if she see's Christmas.

Tony... I know what you mean about chinks in the armour of your faith.... I used to believe that the lord would never give us more than we could cope with!.......   But now ????  How much more does he expect me to deal with? I've had enough!... so yes.. there are some pretty wide chinks in my armour at the moment too.

I guess you could say i was on a bit of a downer at the moment... I am so sorry for being miserable.... but it seems like this is the only place I am allowed to show my emotions and admit how I really feel.

Take care

Love always

Caz xxxxx

Well done Nina,

Always love to hear good news.!!!! You enjoy that party and have a glass from me. Dont forget though that you will take a time to recover from all that you have had thrown at you so still rest  and no  parachute diving for a while

Stay happy and healthy

Good Evening ladies,

Hope you're all as well as possible.........Many of us read this thread but do not comment - that doesn't mean we don't miss you all when you're not around as much. Keep it updated so we all know you're coping with things.

Can I ask, have any of you heard from the lovely Rose recently? I'm a little concerned about her at the moment. Please let me know if you've had any contact with her in the last week or so.

Many thanks xxxx

Hi everyone,  haven't been around as have been trying (and succeeding slowly) to get back to a normal life ! however, i hadn't said hi for ages, and when i signed on today i found a spam email in my inbox. It is from someone in sierra leionne - and yes it wants my bank account details. The author (inchrist) says they want to donate money to a cancer charity, but for those of you who do not know, these are one of the biggest scams on the net and myself amongst many many others have been inundated with them in private and personal emails. Please just report them and remember, smile, cos you'll never be that cruel or that sad that you would even consider stooping so low, and carry on supporting each other through these difficult times.

on a much brighter note, i have been really good and i am feeling much more positive. There are so many of you who haven't signed in or left a post lately - i hope you are all doing well and send my love and hugs to you all, and especially the new faces here.

love sara

Hi everyone, I too have not been on for a while and have been getting on with it.  I have had my down days but have started to keep a note of how I feel.  I am doing a lot more but then get lots of aches and pains which I start to worry about, so I thought if I write down what I do and compare to the aches and pains to see if there is a pattern.  I am also taking Femura which is making my finger joints really ache especially in the morning - anyone else on these drugs?  Like to know your side effects.  5 more herceptin treatments to go, so I hope that makes me feel better when that is finished.  I have got my mammogram on the the 8 July 2011, not looking forward to getting my boob squashed as it still feels lumpy!

Wishing you all the best.

I also got that scam email - but the moderators know.

Anne

Hi Sara, I also had that private message too, but I forwarded on to the spam email dept.

Hope everyone is ok, not been on for ages, feeling fab and back at work full time and swimming 3 times a week.

Love to you all xxxx

Hi Anne I had my first mammogram 3 weeks ago and wasnt looking forward to it as my boob is still lumpy and sore but to be honest it was over and done woth in 10 seconds, thank goodness everything came back clear! I too have sore joints and my arm is still numb, the joint pain is the Tamoxifen, the swimming has been helping my joints tho x

Hello all

I've just heard from Rose. She's not too good I'm afraid. The cancer has spread to her lungs and she is currently on oxygen. She has been offered more chemo to extend things but obviously this will make her feel worse, so she is deliberating about what to do for the best.

Rose has often been the first to respond to people on the forum here - many, many frightened people (myself included) have been reassured by her lovely kind words, and I'm sure you'll all be feeling as sad as I am that this dear friend of ours is having to go through this...

Thoughts, prayers, love...please lets send it all her way right now.

Shents x

Thanks Shents,

I've been so so worried about our lovely Rose.....and now I'm sitting here crying because I knew that when I did hear something, it would be news that I didn't want to hear....

I f*&£*ing hate cancer

Hi Shents,

I'm so sorry to hear the news about Rose.

Please pass on my very best wishes and those of the other moderators.

Just to echo what you said, we miss her posts on here too as she's offered wonderful support to those in need.
