Hi everyone, hope you all had a good weekend. How are you all doing at the moment? I'm starting my radiotherapy on Wednesday and will be so pleased to get it out of the way. My tummy wound is healing, albeit it slowly, hoping it will be healed by Christmas. Now all Christmas shopping is finished, thinking of starting the wrapping today. I usually have everyone to me at Christmas, but having a break this year and going to my daughter's. It will make a lovely change for me. What are you all doing over the festive period?

HI Pippin,

I am glad to hear that your wound is finally beginning to heal, albeit slowly. I had everyone to us for Christmas and New Year, but have now decided that it's time for the younger members of the family to pick up the cudgel. We are going to my son and his family, which we are looking forward to,

It'll be great to get to your radiotherapy, at long last and I hope that it all goes well.

Regards,

Hi Jolamine, sorry to hear how many issues your husband is having to deal with, it must be so difficult for you both. I hope things improve in the coming year. Xx

Thanks Pippin.

Hi Greeny80 I just wanted to know what are the injections called that you are taking. I would also like to say that  I have got through my cancer journey is reading all you ladies remarkable journeys. I had chemo and a Lumpectomy with an axillary clearance which came back all clear. Now I am waiting for radiotherapy and then it will be hormone treatment. 

Hi Nedb, welcome to our little group  so glad we have helped you through your journey so far. I am currently on my way to my 13th radiotherapy session and finish on Christmas eve. It's all gone well, I just find the journey a bit tiring and the early morning starts. I have also recently started letrazole, which is a hormone blocker. Wish you well on the next phase of your journey. Have an lovely Christmas. Xx

Hi Pippin24, I'm so glad to hear that you are nearly finished with your radiotherapy. I was given an option after radiotherapy if I wanted to take Tamoxifen or Anastrozole and injections. I don't know which one I want to go for. 

Hi everyone. Just wanted to hop on quickly to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.  I hope everyone has a great time and here’s to a healthier 2025 for us all. 

Merry Christmas! xx

Merry Christmas to you all!

Hi Pippin,

Can you believe that you are on your last radiotherapy tomorrow? You have really come a long way. 

Here's hoping that you'll find that it has all been worthwhile.

Hi Jolamine, I'm sitting in the waiting room now, just waiting for my last session. So glad to be finished, it has been tiring getting up so early and having to travel every day. Still, now have a lovely Christmas to enjoy with the family. How is everything for you and your hubby at the moment? Hope you have a lovely Christmas with your family. Xxx

Hi Pippin,

We are both doing well - more tests to look forward to in the New Year, but we intend to make the most of Christmas and New Year with the family first.

I hope that you and everyone on this thread, have a Happy Christmas and a Peaceful  and Healthy New Year.
