hi Dot & Eileen

I to think your both having a much harder time than I am! I think we accept our own symptoms but when we read about other think how horrible that sounds!

Like you Dot my prognosis is poor, and I think you summed it up really well. Its not being an ostrich if you accept whats said and temper it with how your feeling (in my opinion anyway). Apart from chemo signs my body feels fine thank you and if this doesn't fit with the prognosis thats there problem :) when the time comes I'll know and I'm sure you will too. I refused an actual prognosis as I don't want to live ticking each day off preferring to live each day as it comes but I accept my time is limited.

Hopefully we'll all have a good week with our various appoinments, as Rose says good news only.

Hi to you brave ladies. Just thought I'd post to tell you all that mum (Jayne) lost her battle with cancer on the 3rd of September. She was diagnosed in July. I'm always reading the thread and it's amazing how strong all you ladies are. Ben x

I am so sorry Ben.I hope you will remember her as the person she was and eventually the memory of her illness will fade.Thank you for contacting us and come back to let us know how you are getting on.

Hi all,

hope everyone is doing ok.

Eileen it is good to see you post, I did send you an email to ask how you are but not sure you got it, wondering if it went into your spam mail.

Jackie nice to see you post too, I know it isn't always easy to write but I like to know how everyone is coping.

Rose thinking of you too and all the comforting mails you post.

Hello and welcome Julygirl,

sorry to hear you have to have more chemo, and maybe more surgery. Keep us posted about your hospital appointment results.

Losing my hair wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, I have a wig which I have only worn once, everyone has got used to me without hair now lol.

It does help having others to talk to with similar problems.
