Hi All,

The Good- I received news from work yesterday that they will support me as much as they can during the treatment period i.e. paid my salary in full. I am so very grateful with this as we i dont have to think of financial issues during this bumpy journey.

The Bad- MRI found another 2 new suspicious lumps and last night me and hubby decided we are not going to go through with egg/embryo feezing. The toughest decision we have to make so far in our 13 years together. I've been strong(ish) since i was diagnosed but last night i broke down and cry. We are supposed to go through our IVF treatment ( received dates and all) but found out i have cancer 2 weeks before procedure :(

Thank you [@Sandra123]‍ for creating this discussion thread.

I am sorry to hear this,  cancer has such a ripple effect. This forum has been a god send to me, everyone on here are immensely supportive.....I wish you well on your journey......and I echo your thanks to sandra123 for creating this thread......xxxx

Hi Ladies- it's ffffrrrreeeezzzing!!! Think have a bit of a tummy bug as well. Sigh......wish I'd never gone to Canada. Feel so awful this past week that it's frustrating now.

Ok maybe I shouldn't grumble considering I'm not going thru treatment or complications but I've had my share and if I can't grumble on here then where can I?

Going dentist this afternoon which is sheer torture to me but hopefully he can sort out issue and I'll feel human again!

It's very cold and guess it's typical Jan weather. Time is going by very fast - Jan is almost over. Hope this year is a positive one for all on here. Keep warm and keep well.

Think you have been through enough to grumble!! Poor you still not feeling good hope your soon feeling better! 

The Good- met the man singing at my 50th birthday party today to arrange what he’s going to sing! My mum has done the invites now I am writing a guest list. So hard to decide who should come and who has drifted away so don’t need to be there! Have asked for no presents but donations to my moonwalk instead! 

The Bad- none except it’s cold again 

big hugs to you all x 

Mrsfingers - really helpful to know that your sensation returned in 4 months.  The docs and nurses have said it could return but no-one pinned it down to a timescale

I know we are all different but I always deal better knowing roughly how long, it must have been really hard for you thinking it was permenant.

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

Hi Alison

Welcome to this wonderful thread with some great ladies in attendance. I’m not a BC lady but womb but even so the support on here has been great. Glad your drain is out and hope you had a good shower. It’s the little things....

BAD

Decided to close my online knitted baby garments shop.

GOOD

Decided to donate all the garments not sold to the Cancer Research Shop in town.

Hand squeeze to all of you undergoing treatment or waiting for results. Try to find something good in your day.

Morning 

hope all went well at the dentist bless. So sorry to be hearing that the long haul and the travel has knocked you side ways. Hope you are resting up and looking after yourself. What a relief that you don’t havd t worry about work travel and work. Hope you are feeling better soon ️

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. ️
