How are you all doing ladies!? Just wanted to check in!! For those who had their second round this week, (Pippin, madhatter, Rufusblue, NGS)  I hope you’re doing ok and hope those side effects are still minimal…and really hope you can enjoy some fresh air but also put your feet up this Easter weekend.

i’m good, slight niggly throat still (day 10!!) but gargling difflam which is working really well. Slightly constipated but energy back and hoping for a good week or so before round 2 on the 9th! 

Oh and my taste might still be a bit off but it turns out chocolate still tastes good!!! 

Hope you all enjoy a lovely Easter. sending hugs xx

Hello everyone. 

im doing well so far with minimal side effects.  Slept well last night thankfully.  I started the injections but dosed up on the pain meds so hoping that will keep things under control this time.  Had a bit of heartburn but drinking peppermint tea is helping.  To be honest I questioned if I was in sympathy for my son’s girlfriend who is 7 months pregnant.  I have a busy house as my 3 adult sons plus the girlfriend all still live at home ( I absolutely love it ). 
 
I suffer with osteoarthritis in my hips so mobility is difficult for me but hoping I can get in the garden for a stroll back and forth and to enjoy the fresh air.  Wish I could go for a walk ( I live in Lincolnshire) but it is just too painful and any chance of hip surgery is now out of the question at the moment.  Never mind. 

greeny - a taste for chocolate sounds good to me.  You enjoy. And have a fabulous time away with family.  I’m sure it will be the best medicine.  

pippin - glad side effects minimal. Hope injections go smoothly too for you. And best of luck for Port next week. 

madhatter - glad all has gone well and equally hoping side effects minimal for you.  The PICC certainly makes it easier going forward .  Did you enjoy the look good feel better - I found them really useful. Have you done / booked a face to face make up one.  

rufusblue - how are you feeling ? Hoping you too have some nice plans over Easter 

sending hugs , positive vibes and good wishes to you all xxx

Good to hear that things are going well for you so far. Sounds like you have a lot of family around you which must be lovely. I have hubby an adult son at home which is great.  I try and catch up with everyone else when not isolating. Have a big meet up with my daughters and the two grandchildren Friday week, so fingers crossed they all stay well. Have a lovely Easter. Xx

Hi everyone I'm still feeling OK on my treatment but next one is delayed until Wednesday because of Easter,  been to choose a new wig ( my 3rd as I have 2 others from before in the wardrobe) and I'm really happy with it,  the upsetting thing was the hair clinic is closing down in 4 weeks and they are so lovely in there.   Hope you all continue to be OK with your treatment,  my youngest daughter has come back from Uni full of cold so I've been wearing a mask when I'm around her, totally not what I needed! Have a lovely Easter and sending positive thoughts and prayers to you all xx

Hi Rufusblue, pleased to hear that you're feeling OK, shame about the delay of your next treatment. My May treatment will also get delayed due to the May Bank Holiday. They said I'll be given a different day and future treatments will then be on the new day. Shame really, I quite like having it on the Monday. Good to hear you have a new wig that you're happy with. Such a shame though that the hair clinic is closing down. Is there anywhere local that you could use instead? Must be lovely to have your daughter home from uni, just a shame she has come home with a cold. Have a lovely Easter, always here for a chat. Xx

Hi Pippin 24, that's the only hair clinic in my town unfortunately so would probably have to go further afield but I'm trying not to worry about that at the moment,  had another nightmare trying to sort my sick note for work after sitting on hold for over an hour the doctors receptionist told me to get one from the hospital so another obstacle but managed to sort that,  hope you're feeling OK after your treatment and have a lovely Easter xx

Hey!

glad you’ve been feeling ok on this round, great to hear. Hope you’re still feeling good…sorry to hear your Daughter has a cold...but hope she’s feeling better so you can feel a bit more comfortable around her. 

have a lovely Easter and good luck on Wednesday for your next round..is that round 3? xx

Hi Greeny80,  thank you,  hope you're doing well,  I'm at treatment number 2, just the abraxane for this one , immunotherapy every 6 weeks,  hoping and praying it has an effect xx

Keeping everything very firmly crossed for you!
