Next challenge will be getting there for it, some scumbag rear ended my car in the early hours of this morning and because it was an old car, it's being written off. Grrrr
Tigercub - I turned 50 in Jan 2017 and haven't worked since. Would prefer part time local job paying well but those are few and far between. Don't know if I could handle commuting, full time job and running house.
If you feel ready Rileyroo then getting thinhs as close to back to normal will be best for recovery but always put yourself first.
Hopefully all the issues I've had are all behind me. Shall wait and see. Still no appt with counsellor although breast care nurse had session doing that last week. Get angry and tearful still but could be menopausal.
Sandra let's hope you don't have lung damage. You're almost done so stay warm and rest.
The rt I dealt with most was very careful to avoid as much lung damage as possible, he actually decided to get the second ct scan done to try and keep it to a minimum not to mention that the amount of swelling I had was distorting the measurements anyway. Considering that I carried on swelling after the second scan I’m not expecting to be without side effects at some point.
I knew it was too good to last - am fatigued today and very dizzy. Got dull to stabbing pain in breast and armpit. It always reminds me so I don't forget what I've been through..
Sideffects I'm afraid are a given of some sort. It hits you like a brick wall when it's all going well. But it's another day and it'll pass. Make sure you take it easy rileyroo.
How'd it go today Sandra?
TBH I was told nd still wanted t go ahead after all the fully informed doom nd gloom. So guess I will just deal.
Only 4 more t go nd all still well:-)
They said ONLY use the Q.V. cream NOTHING else- ive used 3 tubes nd asked for some more tday nd the gave me Aquamax.... hang fire....where’s the Q.V. cream I’m only supposed t use. They said the Q.V. had 1 active ingredient in it that someone had an allergic reaction to so t use the Aquamax. Ok then here’s hoping this works as well as the Q.V. did sigh.
I really do wonder about these goalposts....
Remember me getting worked up about my mammo last week that didn't happen? Well nurse told me mammo will be in Feb. Next day get a letter for mammo dec 2018. Oncologist said back in June mammo would be this year oct-dec. So being utterly confused I rang up breast care unit and was told (after looking at my notes) my mammo should be next month dec and they made a mistake.
Imagine if I didn't ring and just left it? So ladies question every thing until you are satisfied. So mammo now on dec 11th.
I write or make notes whenever I go for an appt now as I certainly don't recall a thing after my appt.
So best thing about this time of year are the little oranges you peel. I have about 4 a day! It's about the only thing I have felt like eating for last 3 days.
Finding out info on your own and making a hood judgement seems to be the best option.
Man cold is continuing.......
They orig told me my op would b 29th then said they were changing it from 19th t 21st! First I heard anything of the 19th.
Also when they gave me my appt for 1st RT session they said November- I said I haven’t got my glasses on but does that sheet not say October- oh yes sorry!
Eee ive been eating clementines nd tangerines for ages lol love em. Oh nd chocolate oranges too ha ha x
