21st TAMOXIFEN !!

[MaryAnnSingleton]

here we are- how did that happen ?

and yes- I week left of no chocolate !!!!!

Just a bit worried about haywire periods. If I was on my 28 day cycle I would get it out of the way before my holiday. Toilets in Morocco are decidedly variable :( If available at all. I had to go to the loo every hour or so today... Sorry tmi.

Six more days. Lindt chocolate eggs are 29p in home bargains, scrummy.

I can see that'd be a worry jane - I would fret about that. This period has been as normal- just a very long gap in between.

Nanny now signed off sick for a week, drain can't come out for another two days at least so I would think zero chance of starting rads next week...

gig - that's incredibly irritating on both counts

I know - am coping ok but it's Catch 22 as more I have to do, slower it heals. But not a lot I can do

- Gig, how frustrating, irritating about the nanny, - I'm sorry for her if she is poorly, but it's the worst possible timing for you. Try not to get to down about the drain and possible rescheduling of rads, - I know one builds oneself up to start these things, but better to be properly healed before you start. Very frustrating though I know. xx

jane - hope no new bruises have appeared overnight. - Sorry I can't be any help on the haywire periods, - I'd had a hysterectomy long before my cancer DX, so didn't have to contend with that problem. - I don't know what to suggest, - just hope it settles soon so you aren't struggling on your holiday.

MrsMc - night sweats are horrible, - I found them very difficult to cope with, the only comfort I can offer is that they were much worse the first year I was on tamox. but have since settled down a bit. - Have you got a fan you can plug in somewhere near your bed (I had one on all the time) and I found hot drinks tended to trigger hot flushes in me.

Waving to MAS

I went to yoga this morning, and am planing some gardening this afternoon - its a lovely day here.

love to all.

waving back to kk
Beautiful here, have been to town, bought various Easter things in a bit of a panic- very cute plain choc bunnies for my parents...and lots of creme eggs for ds to hunt.

Just a quickie .
Guess who just phoned me ?
My breast care nurse .
Only took her 3 full weeks !

topsy, - did you say 'you took your time love' ?

Was she helpful and able to reassure?- I hope so.

Talking of hospital type stuff - I just phoned the plastic surgery dept. - remember Dr Knob had done my referral 'that day' when I phoned the week before last and was to get an appointment last week? - well needless to say it never happened. Plastics just told me the referral was done on 28th March, and I might hear this week. Dr Knob and his secretary are big fat liars, pants on fire.

bloody hell

sheesh

MAS - I need to do easter shopping too, I usually get one for DD, and I might get one for DDIL, - it's her birthday this week, but I won't see her until the weekend, so might pop an egg in with her present.

Is it in the consultant exams that they don't do admin? Experience has taught me that you don't rely on what they say (hence my emails today to fix radio therapy).

I think it is Gig, - but admin. is obviously a big no-no for their secretaries too .

I think there biggest skill is to cover when they areplaying golf busy

arf ! I have had my notes lost and a letter with a mammo recall from consultant but he'd forgotten to make the appointment.

According to my retired GP fil and dhs retired uncle consultants , it's the younger consultants who are the worst offenders .
I hear constantly "it was never like that in my day" and "we worked 97 hours a day and then stayed on and did our paperwork
"

Don't we all say that?

Well I did walk 37 miles to school , in the snow , barefoot gig

Is there a full moon tonight ?
Do I have "be horrible to topsy " stamped on my forehead ?
No ?
Oh good .
Does that mean I can tell DH to feck the feck orf then ?

After doing your shift in the mines?

Yes go on - tell him.

I would like to tell nanny that (and people who are telling me aibu not to let her break or leave outside a mega expensive pushchair. This was my indulgence purchase post mc/horrid pregnancy ... Hence why I am unusually precious).

These consultants are clearly in need of some retraining. . .

for you kurri Mr Knob has a lot to answer for. When do you hope to finally get an appointment?

topsy what has that rotter Mr Topsy done? He is clearly being unreasonable. . . He is a man. . Could you set pig/dog on him? Tell him to feck off to feckland and then when he gets there, feck off some more. . .

gig for you about drain and about nanny. She sounds the prrecious one, not you. Hope you are OK x

jchoc sorry you're suffering with rubbish cycle. No experience, just sympathising. When you off to Morocco? Am !!

Waves to MAS and anyone else on this evening x x x

Oh yes tell him to feck off topsy, - we'll all join in (don't know what he's done, but if he's anything like my DH it'll be something v.annoying)

Who is saying you ABI Gig? - they are tossers.

Ned - when is your next cycle, - it's this week isn't it?

The receptionist in plastics said I might hear this week, but added 'don't hold me to that though'
