Thank you all for the lovely welcome to this thread someone said it and you really are a lovely and lovely bunch! 

Just read down to the bottom of the thread (I’ll get the hang of this chat room thing one day!)

Hope everyone who is going through treatment is coping ok, huge hugs to anyone in the midst of it right now

codine - horrible to have to need it to combat a chemo drug .  I has it and morphine a couple of years back (happy little cocktail of pain killers for a broken kneecap) totally bunged me up too! Learnt a lot since then and when I had EC last year (which also bungs you up, or that might be the steroids accompanying it) a combo of senocot at bedtime, fresh mint tea in the morning (with a squeeze of lemon and spoonful of honey)  plus staying really hydrated - worked out ok.

The good for today ... is I had my drain taken out! Yipee! Can keep my bodily fluids on the inside, don’t have to carry a bag around and can shower! 

Hi Allison, welcome to this thread.I haven't been around the website for some time. I'm trying to get busy with work, but I want to wish you the best with your treatment. I had my lumpectomy at the end of  June 2018, mine was also estrogen related, No chemo needed. and I'm on Arimidex for 5 years. Happy for you that you had your drain taken out, Enjoy your shower!!!  xoxo

Sad news about your brother in law. I see marlyns friends bother has a brain tumour too.... devastating news for you both. Wondered if either have been offered proton beam therapy. In reality I know nothing about this type of therapy but know it is a treatment now on offer. There is a private centre that was due to open for this treatment early this year just 3 miles from where I live ( it opened last yr for other treatments but early this yr for proton therapy taking nhs referrals ). I also followed your link for breast cancer.... another step forward in treatment.... thank you cancer research who funded the research ️

Ha ha ha .... eee Marlyn too true something to look forward to in our 80s heh heh. This post soo brightened my day. ️
