Number 12 already!!!! Well done KK. Is MAS on her holibobs?
I forgot to welcome our new ladies, sorry about that. Welcome to The Tamoxifen Threads.
Thank you for all your good wishes for tomorrow. I am keeping busy and putting it to the back of my mind. I've had a funny sort of day though - got recalled to the hospital because I needed another blood test - the one on Tuesday came back showing rare antibodies so they needed another one to make sure they got an exact match if I need a transfusion. The lovely phlebotonist gave up after 6 goes and went to fetch a colleague, Attila the Hun, who went for the kill in my hand. I've never known pain like it and sobbed like a baby while squeezing the other lady's hand. I'm like a pin cushion now. But it's over with and I need to forget about it.
I have to have a shower later using a special antibacterial gel. Then use it again tomorrow and I must remember to remove the nail varnish. I hate showing my bare nails to the world, they are in a dreadful state. The finger nails are all mishapen and ridged while the toe nails are a dreadful grey/black colour - all as a result of the chemo. I suppose it could have been worse, I could have lost them (blessing in disguise that would have been ).
Topsy, I'm glad the dizzyness is subsiding. Enjoy your time with your sister and her family. I am intrigued by your mention of going 'commando' on the mainland. I have been tempted once or twice but haven't dared yet.
SR, your break in London sounds fab. You certainly packed a lot in. I love day trips up to town - it's only an hour from here.
Sparkle, after your day you deserve a glass or two of the vino collapso. I will join you in a while.
Hi Framey, sorry to hear your mum's struggling with nausea and lots of wind. Maybe she needs something a bit stronger than Rennies. There are lots of other good remedies available. Maybe mention it to the DN (if they're visiting) or the doctor?
Smee, boo to the rude man. I bet you looked very fetching .
Well, off to shower now, might not have time to pop in tomorrow but please spare a few thoughts for me. Feeling a bit wibbly wobbly now.
Bye xxxxx
