Hi All!

I hope everyone managed to get at least a little bit of respite from the fear and anxiety this weekend.

Vicki - how was the beach hut? Hope that fresh air did the trick for you.

Take care of yourselves xx

I took the kids to the cinema on Saturday, and then had my sons 4th birthday party on Sunday. So I've managed to keep quite well distracted!! 
 

The breast clinic just called, and they've moved my results appointment to 9:40 on Thursday, instead of 11:40. So at least I don't have to worry all morning. It will be school run, then appointment!! Praying for benign results!! Xxx

I'm having ec for 4 cycles then taxol weekly for 12 weeks. 

How did you feel after your first ec? Were you sickly or any hot flashes? I'm getting those today! I feel rather empty inside and am hoping that passes soon. I only had my treatment yesterday though so I guess to be expected. Xx

I hope so with the steroid as I did not like it at all. 

Cannot fault the care. Such caring and hard working ladies. 

Best of luck for your mammogram and happy birthday to you. Let us know how you get on.

Hello

I had loads of aches in my neck and back today. Also woke up and had a cry. Just felt grim. Spoke to nurse who thought the pains were most likely due to my injection that I self administered yesterday. Filgrastim? Slept this afternoon and then at about 6pm I had another good cry as I think I'm just totally anxious about feeling unwell and it becoming worse. I just don't handle feeling sick very well and with all the notes you have to read about if you feel odd always call and check. I got myself all wound up that I was going to collapse any second. Anxiety sucks. I'm now having an epsom salts bath, have had a green tea and done a hypnosis session which has helped. You sound way calmer and together than me!! Xx

Not always calm. Hate the injections I have to have but staying strong for my girls my daughter gives me my injections I do have a good cry too stress reliever you take care not reading anything have to have covid test today ready for Monday. When woman rang said she had questions to ask if I had any headaches feeling ill aches etc. I told her to stop said I had all them all plus more as I had chemotherapy lol.  My biggest trouble is going to sleep   Might try Epsom salt bath.  I am drinking green tea  I decided chemotherapy can have my body for a week then I am taking over.  I have kept a journal for each day had tingling head in the night cut my long hair off !!    Keep in touch big hugxxxx
