Hi both

Yes 5pm today - good luck Rileyroo (like jbains says get 1st one under yr belt then less scary). Will b thinking of u.

Im feeling well - can sleep on my stomach again- ahhh the comfort (tentative comfort but comfort ) :-)

How’s thing with u jbains. How’s the job hunting going ? R u looking in the same area as yr prev work or looking for a complete change?

take care me dears x

Yep day 1 today. 5 o'clock. Joy, the traffic will be awful that time of night. Grit teeth and get through it!

Oh no!

i just saw this on yr other post bless.

its def time life gives u a break mind. Will b thinking of u on Monday.

i started taking the letrozole on Monday nd yesterday went out for t cinema nd for food. While out I kept rubbing my eyes coz felt a bit gritty nd like they had a fine film over them but rubbing wasn’t helping . So pulled out the leaflet on reactions nd yup blurred vision is one of them (did not bode well as had only took 1).

Today I’ve woke up nd eyes bit better  just a little gritty nd just a bit blurry on my peripheral vision - ok looking straight ahead. Hope it continues to improve. Let us know how u get on at opticians. Consultant told me to try nd push through any of the common reactions as they will start t clear up over time - my appt with him in 6 mths is to discuss any that haven’t!

how about registering on nhs and gov jobs sites- you can filter what and where u r interested in nd they will send u push notifications of anything that comes up ( saves u looking):-)

If not having a good day we r here for u - thank you for yr support you have given me while not 100% yourself- did I mention u rock:-)

take care x

Oh I never thought about the traffic but sadly u r right. Because of the delay getting into my appt on Monday I left the hosp at 5 the traffic was awful. That being said everyone is leaving so hopefully u heading opposite direction will b quite - fingers crossed:-).

The hospital is out of the town I'll be stuck in the middle of it unfortunately. 

I managed to get my Tamoxifen dose adjusted so Intake two smaller doses rather thqn one large one. The mood swings even bu day two were unbelievable. 

Teeth gritting in progress!

Teeth gritting in progress!

Wasn't allowed. The first appointment they made was for tonight and all the rest have been made for the same time. Been told I can't change in advance but I can ring in the morning to see if there are any cancellations. Eesh, I live in the dark ages. 

Perhaps if you tell them it's too difficult at this time perhaps they might change it? Guess going to central London for treatment wasn't so bad then- I was able to request times although they never ran on time. Always had at least an hour wait. But got to meet some incredible people whilst waiting as I saw the same group every day. It'll soon be over. Just make sure you rest and lots of beetroot, turmeric , ginger and black pepper - good for all (red blood cells, immunity and healing). I made a smoothie in morning before I left as was easier on days I didn't want to eat. We're there with you. You rock!xx

Thank you. Not heard that combination before!

That's absolutely brilliant!! At least you got the first òne over with - how did it go? 

OK I think. They were running late, there's a surprise. Put some aloe vera gel on as soon as I got to the changing room afterwards. The two today were brilliant, if I'd have met these when I went for the ct scan I'm sure I wouldn't have been as anxious. 

Glad to hear it. We're all in this together and we all rock! Seems to be our themed expression now. Just take it easy as you may feel ok & as soon as you do things more and more it'll get tiring. The trek up to hospital every day is alot. I got anxious every time as my skin reacted from day one. But the outcome is worth it. Keep on with the moisturizing and dont scrub ur skin too hard - pat it dry. Take it easy.x

My skin is pretty rubbish, always getting rashes, reacts to everything and not in a good way a lot of the time. Have managed to get some of the appointments moved as well so quite happy with that and staying with the same radiotherapists rather than chopping and changing. Will check mine in a few minutes. Did you get any issues with the sking on your back or was it all your breast if you don't mind me asking?
