Hi Sandra. 

Good or bad, not sure. 

Got phone call from chemo ward, i get 28 days supply of tablets (4) take morning, four days before i run out have a blood test (this is everymonth) next day phone up chemo ward and reorder tablets, they are actually sent from hospital every time straight to me, just seems very strange.

Hope you're keeping well can tell you enjoy having young ones. 

Glad your still selling things.

Afternoon Everyone, hope everyone is as good as they can be.

Today I have had my letter for my yearly mammogram. Delayed by COVID that virus has so much to answer for!! Sept 3rd so not to long to wait xx

Hi everyone,

Just checking in. Hope everyone is well despite all this rubbish not being over with!!!!

ive been a bit off the radar as it's been a bit of a difficult pregnancy. Few complications with little ones growth. She's very tiny. Also was in hospital for a week last week. I had a routine midwife appointment and she said the baby’s heartbeat was quite erratic so sent me to the day centre for a trace. It showed her heart kept dipping so showed she was in distress. They pumped me with magnesium and steroids to get her lungs and brain stronger for delivery then prepped me for an emergency c section. I had a aneasatists in talking to me about spinal blocks and neonatal unit explaining what would happen. Thank god they waited a couple of hours as it calmed down so they kept me in and did regular traces. I’m only on day release and got to go back daily for traces then another scan Tomorrow to check her growth as she’s still really underweight. She’d have only weighed just under 2lb if she was born and wouldn’t have stood much of a chance. It was the scariest time of my life. It's made my cancer diagnoses look like a doddle lol. Thankfully her heart rates been behaving this week. Fingers crossed the scan shows some growth.

can you believe Vinnie is 1 on Monday. Where does the time go?? So I'm prepping for a little tea Party for him in Saturday. My lovely friend I told you about who started chemo is coming and not seen her since her treatment started. Her hair is all gone and she's a scarf as opposed to a wig wearer so will be a shock to see but she's getting the biggest of hugs....if she'll let me lol. 
really hope everyone is good. Sorry to come on here with my doom and gloom but just wanted to let you know I was still here

Take care all

Hi Dizzle,

It's great to hear from you, even if the news was a little disturbing. Now that the hospital are aware of the little one's problems, it sounds as if they are gradually getting to grips with them. This must have been a worrying time for you both. I'm so glad to hear thatyou didn't have to have a C section after all - keep her in there and cooking for as long as you can to improve her chances. It must be tiring for you having to go back daily at present.

My, it's hard to believe that Vinnie is 1 already. I hope that you all enjoy his tea party on Saturday.I'm delighted to hear that your friend is doing well with her treatment.

Here's hoping and praying for good news from your scan tomorrow.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi Dizzle. 

Lovely to hear from you. 

So sorry you've had problems but definitely glad they seem to be sorting things out for the young one and you of course.

Like the I'd of sticking Vinnie in the avatar. 

Hope things keep getting better.
