Aww thank you lovely appreciate you telling me....I'll look into that....could do with an anti tiredness tablet LOL, xx

Always here if you need us...how are you hun? Scream, shout, cry or just chat, I've done it all lovely....we know what you are going through no matter what....sending hugs....xx

Hello TM1  sorry Im only now responding! Oh lovely thank goodness you did get an appointment and the doctor was on the ball by the sounds of it chest infections can be so nasty. How are you feeling now?? Sometimes its just a relief to have a doctor that listens!! 
Oh gosh my work :-( I dont know what to do, I might contact ACAS soon. Im off at the moment as its just stressing me out so much being there. Basically the ceo made a “temporary” hire to cover me as I was diagnosed, I use quotes as what was said vs what happened can vary quite a lot. The ceo then got fired and as it turns out the temp was told he was permanent which took around 60% of my job off me :-(. In effect the second I got diagnosed they made me functionally redundant without even speaking to me, I found out what they had done this to me on Linkedin. One half of me is so hurt/angry and the other just sees life too short to let myself be dragged down. Xxx

 TM1  I'm glad you are feeling loads better (apart from the fatigue and aches/pains).  I hope these also get better soon. I'm sorry to hear about your husband's troubles. It's difficult. I know!! 

 Rambleon88  I agree with TM1, see if you have Legal Expenses Insurance with your house insurance policy. They do use referral firms so you don't get a choice of solicitors, but they should be fine to help you.  You have 3 months from the trigger point to issue a claim in the tribunal (but they'll explain that).  Have work said anything to you yet?  But keeping any evidence (screenshots) is good advice.

Healing hugs to all. Xx

Hi lovely, yeah all in the hands of the Solicitors and Tribunal service now, so it depends if the company acknowledge and want to settle before it goes to court. Let's say it's not the first time this company has been brought to justice. It's hard because he doesn't want to work now, its trying to find something that will suit him. 38 years in same job is hard when looking for something else...anyway just have to sit tight and fingers crossed lol...I'm fed up today, with myself and this constant feeling of fatigue...taking it out of me...and work is quite but next month I'll be mega busy so dreading that. Hope you're doing OK? Xxx

That will be tough for him. I'm sorry you are still feeling the fatigue.

I was speaking to the BC Nurse on Tuesday about fatigue. She said it will slowly ebb away but can last up to a year (particularly so because I had chemo). So hopefully yours won't take so long. She recommended some exercise  (I do the school walk of a mile each way in the mornings anyway) so I tend to get between 8-10,000 steps a day.  Are you drinking enough water? I understand that also helps. 

I have been speaking to work about my return. I'm hoping to return in May when the worst of the side effects  have worn off a bit. I'm nor quite sure how that will work with my job as it'll be a slow phased return. Buy we'll just have to see how that goes. Xx

Hello lovelies!!!

Thank you, Il definitely check with the insurance. 
Ive got evidence of everything stored thank goodness its just such a shame as Id worked so hard for them. TM1 oh bless him, you’d think after giving 38 years of your life to an employer they would be respectful enough to not want to put him through court! Whats wrong with these companies!! Mine is a bizarre place to be honest so I shouldnt be shocked by how I was treated. 

How are you both feeling? 

 TM1 I hope your feeling better soon hon, this time of year doesnt help, its grotty, cold and damp.Plus we have all had the absolute *** kicked out of us and in the grand scheme in a really short space of time. I think our minds and bodies may still be in a bit of shock from it all. 
RedRuth84 is your piccline out now? How are you feeling lovely? I was wondering how long you left it until you lifted your chemo lockdown? Im counting the days now. 

Well ladies providing my bloods haven't done anything whacky now tomorrow will be my last chemo session! 

Just want to thank you all (especially you two ladies!) for being on here. Im gutted your in the same boat as me but really grateful you’ve been here. When I started this thread I had no idea it would help so much. Xxxx

Good morning.  I'm so sorry to read this. I'm in the waiting game too. I found a small pea sized lump under my areola .gp, sent to breast clinic, exam, uss, mammogram. They saw something in another area of my breast. The area I was worried about was fine! Biopsy same day, 8mm lump found.i know it's small, and the nurse was really lovely, but can't help thinking the worse! now just waiting on results. Going to be the longest 2 weeks of.my life! Can't function atm. Crying and digging my own grave! So I get it! I'm in free fall too! 

Hello Nanibamp 

Oh bless you, your in one of the toughest parts of this process. Thank goodness you got yourself seen. 
I know its so hard right now but try and remember that the majority of biopsies are negative. If unfortunately its positive then you’re on the first steps towards getting better and your team will have a treatment plan tailored to you. 
I understand its not for everyone but I spoke to my GP and took diazepam to take the edge off during those early stages. 
Its a horrible free falling feeling but I promise you no matter the result that feeling does go and you will feel better. Right now you have had one of the worst rugs pulled from underneath you but you will feel better once you have answers xxxx
