Hi. Well thanks to Billy goat for pm about meeting the donut. Made me smile. Interested to see what the effects of (effectively) being microwaved for a month, will be. Keep Calm And Carry On, is the plan.
It's all such an exact science isn't it? It always amazed me when they were lining me up, just a teeny weeny stroke of the skin, or a tiny nudge on the shoulder ...are you getting the extra boosters on the tumour bed?
The fatigue really hit me big time half way through, how you doing?
How lovely to send in the toiletries! A nice touch....
I almost done.....got herceptin every 3 weeks, anastrozole and bone strengthening meds....how about you?
Boosters to bed are last five and as you say its so fascinating watching what they do that in a weird way I'm looking forward to a change of treatment. I got off light M, after rads 2 years of tamoxifen then five of exemestane, that's what I'm aware of so far, anyway. Quite how they will fix the heartbreak, remains to be seen but obviously I get to lead on that particularv 'treatment plan'. In floods of tears at weekend, its very hard to cope with just 3 months since diagnosis and everything since.
It certainly messes with the head, I can cry at a drop of a hat these days. I even teared up over a silly Facebook post yesterday! What's that all about??? I can go from being strong determined and purposefull to weak dithering and directionless....keeps hubby on his toes! Lol
I finished my radiotherapy on Friday, skin was red and itchy but now is all spotty, we’re on holiday so I’m hoping it’s just the heat but it’s very sore, I’m factor 50 and staying out of the sun, really hope it settles down.
We come to the same place every year and this year all I keep thinking is will I still be alive this time next year, it’s hit me really hard all of a sudden. I’ve been quite positive up till now so not sure what’s going on. I was stage 1, lumpectomy with clear margins and no spread to lymph nodes, 15 rounds of rad and now I’m going into depressed mode, tell me I’m normal, please.
Hiya Ploppy, you're normal, I think it just hits us all in different ways at different times.My GP says it one of the most stressful things you can experience as you are in constant 'survival mode' more months, plus physically in pain or discomfort. So glad you're through the worst and having a well deserved holiday in a place you clearly love. Hope your hubby is spoiling you rotten. Keep that boob well out of the sun girl !!! Hope you keep in touch. Plum x
Hi Ploppy & Marlyn, well that's me half way through, but I am beginning to feel very 'wobbly' now, as in physically tired. So just stocked up at M&S foodhall with tasty stuff I might fancy if I 'crash'. Some healthy, some not so- lol. Anyone else develop strange cravings for certain foods and suddenly go off things. I'm finding this weird, I suddenly love fennel! Did you ring the bell on your last day Ploppy? Someone rang it today, we all clapped. Set me off on the weeping. Hope you are both having 'good' days. Hugs Plum
yes! I craved cheese in all forms! Cheesey mash, cheesey crisps, cheese and onion pies.....I used to have an uber sweet tooth ( pre chemo) now I hate the stuff.....really very odd indeed....
marks foods sound just the ticket, you gotta do what you gotta do to get through it.....your doing awesome love.....xx
