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

Thank you for your kind words and understanding! I know that down times are normal but good to hear it from someone else who gets it! 

Oh my god how great would a nice warm bubbly bath be!! Sadly not allowed haha!!

Having my pump and bandages off tomorrow so hopefully that will make things easier.

Morning lovely lady

Hope today goes well and that you feel a bit brighter. I have to say, I am feeling like a normal person this week and it feels awesome. The extra week between last treatment and new regimen is actually just what i needed. I am throwing beetroot, kale, celery, cucumber and blueberry smoothies down my neck every day to try and increase my blood counts. I think mentally I will be ready next week to start my new regimen of treatment. Bring it on!

Hi PositiveT

Hope your recovery is going well. I think we are all entitled to 'down' days so I wouldn't beat yourself up about it. I've had quite a few myself in the last two weeks, mainly because I have felt completely exhausted and beaten up. I seemed to have turned a corner yesterday though - which was exactly 2 weeks post surgery. Hoping to get my two drains taken out tomorrow - they have given me more discomfort than the foob and make it difficult to sleep.

No results yet - hopefully next week. 

`I had a lovely Easter thank you - helped by the beautiful weather and not having to do any gardening! I have managed to hoover and do the ironing though. 

Hope today goes well and you are feeling brighter.

Hi Vicki_76

So pleased to hear that you are feeling much better this week. Those smoothies sound delicious and a great idea.

Hope you had a lovely birthday and wishing you the best of luck for your new regimen.

xx

Awww, thank you. Glad to hear you have turned a small corner and I hope you get some comfort when your drains are removed. Not getting quality sleep is really horrible.

Sending positive happy vibes to you xxx

Hello everyone

I thought I had posted an update last week but it doesn't appear it was saved! I got a call last Tuesday morning to say that my results were in and my consultant could see me then. Delighted to say that not only did he take the final drain out but he also told me he got clear margins and that I didn't need any further treatment. I can't tell you how relieved I was. My husband burst into tears when we got back into the car. Bless him!

We went ahead with his Big Birthday Party on Saturday night and I managed to dance and stay up until 2am.

I have been put on Letrozole and keeping my fingers crossed that I don't get too many nasty side effects.

Hope you ladies are all ok and had a relaxing BH weekend.

Wahooo!!

That's fantastic news Bubblesmum. And so glad that you got to celebrate your husband's birthday in style!! Nice work on keeping going until 2.00am!!!

I hope you tolerate the medication well.

So pleased for you!! Xx

This is AMAZING news!!! SO very pleased for you. I can only imagine your absolute relief and joy. No wonder your hubby cried too. 

Glad you had fun at the party and what a celebration! 

In my news, I finally started paclitaxel weekly chemo yesterday and am so happy and relieved to find that it really is way easier than the ec chemo I had. So only 11 more of these babies to get through, then surgery!

Hi Vicki,

Super happy that you are finding the paclitaxel so much easier. Hope the 11 weeks fly by for you!

Lots of love xx

Awww, thank you xxx
