If u can try nd get a lil fresh air even just a cuppa in the garden. Lots of birds a teeting, and the sound of others in their garden reminds us of the wonderful world awaiting us in better times. ️

Hi Sandra. 

Bren said thanks. And hope you're keeping well. 

Got all morning shop done, boring waiting in the queue though. Shelves all full even toilet roll for a change.

Bet you having a lovely time lounging in your garden. A good cuppa and some sun, birds twittering couldn't be better 

Keep well and fit.... Billy xxx 

P.s Bella doesn't mind what i look at as long as she gets a treat when I've finished she's definitely spoilt 

Hi Sandra

Started using hoist and sling today bren started collapsing on me couple of days ago and it's getting harder to support her. 

She doesn't like it but I've told her no choice we will have to see how it goes it's certainly safer.. 

Love     Billy xxx 

Bless ... that's what it's there for.... to help you. If you hurt yourself you will be no help at all. 
gotta look after yourself too x

Hi , just noticed this thread, hope you don't mind me hopping on. My mum was recently diagnosed with invasive ductual carcinoma  breast cancer after a routine mammogram. Initially she was told the cancer is slow growing but after her lumpectomy it was altered to grade 3 with high grade dcis. Good news is her lymph nodes are clear, clear margins and the cancer is ER/PR positive so that's good as it can be treated. We were surprised her grade has been altered from grade 2 to 3 after surgery. Is this common? She has a NPI score of 4.2 which apparently is high. She was just looking at radiotherapy but now it's possibly Chemo which isn't good under the current virus situation. Any advice greatly welcomed thank you 

Hi, 

I'm sorry I cant offer any advice.  But I have just started chemo for grade 3 breast cancer, I cant even remember the type of cancer.  My treatment plan was chemo x 6, operation (possibly lumpectomy),  and radiotherapy.  I had chemo treatment just before this started, 2 days before my 2nd treatment I developed a cough, this cleared up after 2 weeks,  and 2nd chemo 8 days ago.  Cancer is scary at the best of times but to have it now is doubly so.  I have been told my treatment plan may change, it is all a balancing act and they are weighing up the dangers of chemo with best outcomes if they operate.  I can only say that the team I have are excellent and I have complete confidence in them.  Chemo is a risk but unfortunately it may be one you have to take.  However, find as much information as you can so that your mum and family are confident you have the best options.  I am sure there will be plenty on here who can help you further.

Good luck

Christine x
