Hi Everyone,

It's great to hear that things seem to be going well for you all. Sorry to hear about your back and knee issues Jbains - can anything be done to help? It sounds as if your hospital don't want to see you go Sandra. Beachbabe, I'm delighted to hear that your wedding plans are all falling into place.

Lovely to hear from you all.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi Dizzle,

I hope that all is still going well with you and that you are still enjoying your job in Asda. I haven't heard any mention of the new addition to the family and hope that all went well in that department too.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Evening everyone

After seeing the sad news about Kate this evening just felt I needed to say hello to you lovely people. Hoping your all well. Been ages since we have all been in touch. 

Big hugs to you all xx 

Hi BeachBabe,

It was so sad to get this awful news revealed. Can you imagine just how difficult it must be for Kate, trying to deal with this, when the eyes of the world are upon her?

I hope that you are doing well. Has your wedding taken place yet, or is it imminent?

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi everyone hope you all are doing ok. Yes it’s very sad news but there are more and more people being diagnosed. I went for my annual mammo and know why people are called into that particular room and it’s astounding how full that waiting room is. Bless her she’s going to go through a tough time but hopefully will be left alone to go through this how she needs to. We’ve all been there and know what is needed mentally, physically and emotionally. 
Keep going.xx

Hi Jolamine 

Wedding is 20th June and coming round so quickly now. Everything going well and well organised sometimes I think to organised if that's possible x

Well…. Hello the people. Oh my how time is a passing.

The Good:- life has been ticking along nicely. I of occasion think back to the early days of diagnosis and treatment… like someone was running really fast had hold of my hand and was dragging me along with them. It was hard to believe normality was ever going to be achievable ever again…for me… it was. 

I was originally told I’d be on Letrozole for 5 yrs, then a couple of wks later 10 yrs. However, after 5 yrs I spoke on phone with consultant who was discharging me and told me to stop taking. I explained prev conversations with oncologist and we agreed to split the day and I’d be on it for 7 yrs lol. I think it just hit me and my expectations and I was kinda side swiped at the time. Anywhose, it’s now been 7 yrs and I’ve decided I’m ready. So I’ve informed my Drs to stop prescribing I’ve referenced the letter citing 7 yrs… they have rung me back to confirm they are removing it from my repeat meds. I’ll finish off the pack I have then just like that.. I’m off them. 

So me lovelies… has anyone else done their stint and come off and is there any wise words of advice. Everything I’ve read up says no withdrawal.. if anything.. any side effects of taking will stop. 

Bad:- just feeling a little apprehensive about stopping Letrozole.

love to hear from you all. Take care me lovelies x

Hello people!!!!! Oh my word it has been awhile! On the subject of meds I’ve been on tamoxifen for 7 years and cannot wait to be off it!!! I had no choice of any other tablet as my cancer markers were 8/8 for progesterone and estrogen and I hadn’t gone through menopause yet. But boy have I fully gone through it with guns blazing!! Side effects have been my only consistent friend!

Well done Sandra - a true trooper!

Hope everyone is doing ok and would be lovely if everyone could just come on to post a teenie update. Where has time gone!

Good news for me is my daughter got engaged and wedding in 2026! Lots to plan and do but one thing I’ve realised is to enjoy each moment of every day. Family politics and “noise” will always be there but this one shot at life is something I refuse to waste being upset or angry. Live, love and laugh.xx

Hi Jolamine… lovely to hear from you. Everything I’ve read says no withdrawal so, glad to hear this was your experience too. 

I know … 7 years, can believe how fast it’s gone. I stopped posting because I’d type something up but when hit done.. my posts were just disappearing.

Hope everyone is continuing to do well and it would be great if they did a check in.

thanks again Jolamine…take care me dear x
