I was told not to use any type of oil - only E45. But that's because I reacted badly. Keep doing what you're doing if it's working. We rock so of course we look great!

My scar is scabbing after a little while - it heals, peels then scabs again - a tiny part in the middle.  Maybe I'll try bio oil. I don't really like the way that area looks but gotta just get on with it. Take it easy ladies.

Lol. Supposed t give u all the nutrients but I still like a good old roast beef dinner :-)

nd there is no way I can drink as much water as I’m supposed too:-)

hey peeps tell u yr looking good u better believe it lady! X

Got to admit it's worked well for me, the combination seems to be really effective. All a bit slimey til it sinks in but I can definitely tell the difference. The hospital I go to said to carry on using whatever skin care I normally did so I have.

Morning ladies

what a beautiful day out there( mind u I’m laying in the conservatory with doors wide open reading book nd having coffee ( does that count as getting fresh air;-)

hows everyone doing?

so... just to get prepped ( yes I’m at it again- over focusing on something that’s not here yet :-/ sorry)  Am I right in thinking I need to be purchasing aloe Vera cream, e45 cream nd bio oil. I have lots of body moisturisers already but they are all perfumed- no good for what I’ll need. Have I missed anything else my great wise ones?

Hope traffic is better for u today Rileyroo ( and that there is a bit of eye candy to distract u nd daughter;-).

Jbains did I read right that your scar is not yet healed completely and is still scabbing over:-o?

take care me dears x

Hi oh no

my last post must have overlapped with this one sorry. 

God ive not even dusted since my op let alone owt else housework wise so that 2 wks. ( well tbh I’ve just cleaned my glass doors but that’s just cos my 2 yr old granddaughter has just left nd couldn’t take the looking at the jammy dodger fingerprints she left behind)

would a soak in the bath help a bit? 

Lass u need to be less hard on yourself bless.

Cheers ladies 

I’ll get me creams nd oil in then - lay odds on they don’t give creams at mine either 

Good go with no glasses - better than I sometimes do with mine on lol

Bless jbains hope u feel better soon :-(  sending a virtual putting on me coat t come nd see u and give u a hug. 

Take care me dears

I've always seen bio oil advertised but never used it. I might do now. 

Think am gonna book a massage once i feel better. At least nails are still looking fab!

Aveeno is a very good cream. Anything without parabens is good. Antiperspirant safe to use is Bionsen roll on - you can get it at Tesco. I didn't use it during treatment but after. 

Rileyroo bet your skin is looking amazing! 

When's your next appt Sandra?

Eee lasses I’m taking screen shots t get the names of the creams nd deodorants lol. 

Dont know when next appt - it’s with the oncologist but waiting on letter t say when. I rang but they said if not heard in next 2 wks t ring again. 

Wondered if it’s t allow me t heal a bit more cos just 2 wks post op at min ( feels longer don’t it).

Omg I love a massage - that should def b on our t do lists lol

rest up peeps- forget the should be  doings and go with the want to and fancy doings- this should b our philosophy for life now we have earned it. 

Take care ladies x

My appointment with the oncologist was about 5-6 weeks post check up with the surgeon. The appointment with the surgeon was four weeks post op so that sounds as tho it's where they are going.

Talk about contrary advice, I was told I could use my normal anti perspirant! 

Morning peeps

I had my check up with the surgeon 11 days post op. I did ask how long for RT to start nd he said he has been saying 6 wks but they have just been audited and it is coming in at 8 wks - he said that needs improving. 

Happy holidays then .... sigh. But hey means to an end.

You know though - I have done well post op. It’s 2 wks and Just had tenderness rather than pain, can hardly see scars( which are very discreet and healed well), no bruising and feeling generally well ( been out and about since day 2 - not cooked once been out for food lol). I’ve kicked back and relaxed too and read my way through 4 books. 

Reckon I should roll with this and enjoy life till next stage gets here. 

Do what you’s fancy this weekend ladies you’ve earned it.
