Hi Sandra. 

Not much going on, 

Brens got another water infection. Just started antibiotics so hopefully be OK soon. 

I'm waiting for my CT scan next month. 

Still doing shopping. 

Bella still got water infection hope that's sorted soon. 

Hope you're OK and being careful. 

Love Billy xxx

Kind regards,

Hay there Sandra and co ...

Well kept waiting for things to get better, but this year has been really crule, and it's not letting up .. but here we go ...

GOOD .... MY granddaughter was taken back in after only a week home ... she had reaction to stem cell transplant... her mouth full of ulcers... could only manage water and ice cream ... I know that don't sound good   ; ((   but bless her, she smiles through it all... she's my all time hero .. and they have found the right meds and now, is eating, and maybe back home next week ... can't say just how proud I am of her .. she's kicking cancers butt at only 18 ... 

Bad ... my amazing niece, is now facing either lung cancer, or T B .... she's only just lost her mum ... and been a nurse most her life ... she's already got her boxing gloves on ready to punch it and knock it out ..

Like you Sandra, I can now see my other grandkids... oh my what a wait ... but oh to have nanny cuddles back ... wow ... think I know you feel the same ... thank heaven for those "bubbles" 

Well peeps think of you lot all the time ... hope your all safe ... Dizzle, we still need your news , it's like a rainbow after the storm ... 

So here's to you all ... big vertual hug  ... Chrissie  

Hi to all you lovely young ladies on this string. 

Just a quick update. 

Bren is slowly being weaned off the meds she should never have been on so hopefully I'll see a difference as things go on (fingers and toes crossed). Psychiatrist reckons she is arranging a regular visit soon so that's a start.

I'm still waiting for my scan (Monday) and blood test (Wednesday) then hopefully find out what is going on oncologist is recommending some more tablets, thought i had a chemist shop already but if they work all well and good.

Chrissie, so sorry your having such bad family problems just lately, wishing things improve soon. 

Love to all.. Billy.. Xxx 

Thanks for kind words @happyJess... think it's the name that's amazing as my granddaughter going through that is a Jess too ... welcome to the thread ... it's a comforting place to be ... 

And you too Billy,  sorry not been on much, but with so much going on ... I do try to pop over occasionally though .. always thinking of you Billy... hope the easing of meds help Bren though... and hopefully they can sort you out too .. keep you going ... you help so many on here ...

Well peeps, it's blowing a gale here ... is summer over, I ask my self   ; ))  ....

Well keep safe all .. and try and find something each day to smile about ... 

Vertual hugs to all .. Chrissie  

Hi Billy,

I hope that you see a difference in Bren, as you gradually wean her off her meds. It's good to hear that she should soon be getting a regular visit from her Psychiatrist.

I shall be thinking of you tomorrow as you get your scan and, hope that it reveals better news.

Kind regards,

Hi all,

just been having a catch up on all your posts. Chris, your granddaughter sounds amazing. She seems like a strong young lady who I'm sure will get through this.

Happy-Jess..... hope your appointment in Friday gave good news.

Billy... thinking of you today. Good luck for the scan

my lovely friend who had the lumpectomy suffered horrific infections and has now been told she needs to start chemo on the 16th, followed by a mastectomy and radiotherapy. My heart breaks for her but she's a fighter. Got her a pamper package made up of face masks, creams, red wine and chocolate... all the essentials as I know how brutal chemo can be. Will be popping it over some point this week.

Had a bit of a scare as I collapsed and was taken to A&E. I've been suffering blurred visions and pain behind my left eye. Apparently my bloods showed abnormal liver function and severe anemia which theyve just given me iron tablets for that. I had repeat blood tests last week so will see what they say. Was scary though. However had my 20 week scan and baby is fine. We didn't find out the sex but have since changed our mind and have booked a private 4d scan for Friday and will buy a gender reveal balloon for the girls to pop Friday night. Have a little gender reveal party think Jamie's having trouble bonding as he's not been allowed to any of the scans so hopefully knowing the sex will help that. We're not fussed either way but I'm convinced it's another boy. I will keep you updated.

Well there is a suspicious smell coming from Vinnies happy as he crawled past me so best to deal with that.

thinking of you all. Take care

lots of love

Hi Dizzle,

I'm glad to hear that you're feeling well, despite your scare. This must have given you quite a fright. Thank goodness that the little "he or she" is healthy and doing well despite this. 
It will probably take some time for the iron tablets to work, but I hope that these will help your eye problems too. When are you hoping to get your blood test results back?

It must be difficult for Jamie when he cannot attend any of your appointments at the moment. It's probably a good idea to have that private scan just to involve him in some way and, help him to bond - these really are strange times. 

Your poor friend. It sounds as if she has been through some particularly hard times and, that she will be doing so for a while yet. Your pamper pack sounds like the ideal pick me up for her. It's just as well that she is a fighter and, I hope that this goes better for her than her lumpectomy did.

Enjoy your party on Friday night!

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Thanks Jolamine.... yeh it's been difficult for Jamie not being involved but think that will all change now because.......

ITS A GIRL :-)

we are very happy as we will now have one of each together. Grace screamed and burst into tears of happiness when she saw the pink confetti bless her. I was convinced it was a boy so still in a bit of shock. But at least I can have fun buying girly clothes. There will be lots of leopard print (love leopard print). I'm really excited to meet her now. Due date is exactly 4 months away and with the way the weeks are flying by she'll be here in no time!

hope everyone is well and having a fab weekend.
