**TAMOXIFEN TEN***

[MaryAnnSingleton]

brand new shiny thread....our tenth !

Don't worry - when I had my radiotherapy tattoos, I got them to tattoo a plan of the prison all over my back

For nail file hiding, we'll definitely need more cake.

I feel a prison break coming on...who's for a small riot?

Run for it everyone while I'm creating a diversion

Wow guys.....I have read through everything, what a lot of posts!

I have lit a candle for Topsy too, I wasn't able to this morning as at hospital with ds, but have done so now, so send her all the positive vibes. I do hope it has all gone as well as it could.

Wow cake, what a weight loss, but I hate coconuts in all forms, so although I desperately want to lose 1 stone, I will have to do it another way....

Pink - I am sorry you had to deal with that drama with your ds.......he is a good shot though! I hope your neighbour finds a little forgiveness about it all soon.

Hope everyone is ok.

hope ds is ok sparkle x

Hope little DS is OK Sparkle.

I hope little sparkles is feeling reasonably sparkly again.....

He is sparkly thank you, just a outpatient review following his hospitalisation. I did find out definitively from todays xrays that his neck is subluxing in normal flexion, when you bend your head forward in other words. This confirms that his spine is unstable, but we need mri to see what risk there is to his spinal column. So Mummy feels a bit but ds is [sparkly]

Sorry I missed the prison break, can I catch you up?

Ooo had to stop in catching you guys up in your escape to photo chick 6 doing a break out of its own......more chick photos on profile.

Ahhh -sweet. Are they different colours - some yellow and some dark?

Don't worry about catching us up - we will come back for you

sparkle- don't be but v glad that sparkle ds is sparkly...
the chicks are adorable- little scraps !

Hi all,

KK - really sorry about your dad and the salt etc. My mum (who had mulit-infarct dementia) used to eat a whole box of chocolates because she didn't realise she'd already eaten a load - then got uncontrollable dreadful diorrhea! We then used to give her tiny little boxes with just 2 chocs in at a time. Its such a difficult thing to deal with both emotionally and physically - you really have my virtual sympathies.

I too get fed up with loads of stuff around the house - DH is still a hoarder but something in me is thinking - well it'll be much easier to get rid of all these books now instead of waiting till we're so decrepit we can't lift anything. I daren't say this as he'd think I was morbid, or too old, or just miserable!! I think its just common sense and that its only worth keeping books that you haven't read (rather a lot) or that are truly life-changing....I think it is more pronounced since Dx as well. Hmm. Mind you I do sneak things out when I'm on my own. It was embarresing recently as DH was storming through every room looking for a book I had a feeling I had erm, passed on to charity, but didn't dare say so, and he was rooting through every cupboard so determined to find it....'I KNOW we've got it.....' OMG I'm crying with laughter as I write this. Its hysteria due to the PG still being here. better stop.

Hope Topsy is OK and that Amber will get good news.

SR - we have exactly the same thing with chocolates - he will eat the whole box and then feel ill. My mum has to hide everything, but he has worked out a lot of her hiding places.

Does PG show any signs of leaving? - I'm not surprised you're hysterical, I would be too!

Evening All

Well I am home , and unfortunately still intact .
I got into hospital at 7.15am this morning . Was told I was first on the list .
Half an hour later I was informed that my surgeon had called in sick .
And the back up surgeon had been admitted to hospital herself the week before !

So I was sent home , with no idea of when I will be re-admitted .
To say I am a little down might be an understatement .
It's back to a waiting game again .

Oh Topsy - that is really tough, I'm so sorry.

Can you ring the hospital in the morning and see if they can give you an idea when you can have your op? - Breast Care nurses can also be helpful in these situations - they can find out what is going on and give you a bit more info.

Gosh as if it isn't tough enough without them making it tougher

I really hope they sort your date out quickly. Hope you can get some sleep tonight and that tomorrow brings some information so you don't feel so down. xx

oh topsy- that is awful for you -I am sorry

I phoned just before close of play this evening and was told they hadn't heard from the surgeon , so didnt know when she would be back in again .
They said that I would be fitted in as a matter of urgency , but when I asked if that meant days or weeks , they couldn't say .

I will phone tomorrow and ask to speak to the breast care nurse , see if she has an inside track .

That part that really pisses me off is that I had to let my mindees go , as I was going to be out of action for a minimum of 4 weeks from today . And they naturally weren't too keen on hanging around .

So now I am unemployed , income missing , and no surgery .

I really need to stop feeling sorry for myself !

I think you're quite entitled to feel pretty fed up Topsy, hopefully it will be days - keeping fingers crossed for you.

yes,you are more than entitled to feel totally peed off topsy- am sure the bcn will be able to get some information for you and really hope they whizz you to the you of their list x

Oh Topsy, that is just not fair. You are totally allowed to feel peed off, it is not feeling sorry for yourself it is a natural reaction to life kicking you! (Could have used another phrase but was trying to be polite )

I hope it is only a matter of days, maybe you will get some more info today. I am thinking of you.
xx

Must rush off now to make lunches for dc and get dd1 and ds to school, will be back on later to offer and

top of their list,is what I meant

Topsy, I'm aghast Arrghh! Especially since it's having an impact on your finances too in this sort of way.
