Another shiny thread

Just popping on quickly to wish mas good luck tomorrow for your appointment.

gigs are you going in tomorrow for your chemo? If you are will be thinking of you.

Nurse phoned to arrange to come out tomorrow to check my picc and set up my syringe driver. Onc has given her ok to use either arm for chemo

Meant to say love the specs ned, very smart.

Gracie that is confusing. Which number's this? Have lost track, but another one done is another closer to the end.

MAS, what time is your appointment? We'll pile fbs on the trolley for you and sit with everything crossed. xx

I think Gig's Wednesday. Am I wrong Gig?? x

It's Mas and Gracie with their aots tomorrow isn't it ?
Mas for her chest results and Gracie to get her lump looked at .

Ofcourse that "aots" should have said "apts"
Fat Finger Syndrome

Love the new glasses.

Am in tomorrow - test/scan results and then new picc line in before chemo. So will be holding hands with anyone that needs it.

gracie revving up for last chemo, I think?! Such a landmark moment for you, my lovely x x x

topsy I think you're right on the appointments front. Any more on the horizon for you, love?

Thanks for nice comments about new specs

Blimey Gig that's a bit of a day. We'll be here thinking of you xx

Gracie is it really your last. EXCELLENT!!

Good luck for MAS tomorrow,

and for Gig and gracie for appointments

will be thinking of you all xx

xx for Pink

Yep chemo no. 8 for me .on Wednesday. That may be another reason why I am having a huge wobble and very tearful.

Good luck with your results gigs.

When are you due your results topsy?

Gigs I can't believe I missed you off my check list sowwy ...
What time is your apt ?

My results aren't until the 17th .

loads of love to gracie - last one -yay ! and to gig and thanks everyonex

Chemo 8 is a s*d. I was a snork to live with during it. Be extra gentle with yourself and let everyone know that you're likely to be tired/stressed/urk. Then hopefully it'll be better than that.

silly-o-clock again I used to be such a good sleeper, now it feels like every thought ever thunk has run mad in my brain!

Good vibes for all undergoing something this week.

Thanks for the advice re swimming I may pluck up the courage to try, I've never been since surgery (coward emoticon needed)

KK I was on 10mg (2 tablets) carbimazole daily but they reduced that by half following my last blood test. The docs secretary rang to ask me to lower the dose and when I asked why she said "because of your blood test" yes but what did it show I asked "I'm not prepared to discuss that over the phone the doctor will explain it on the 21st September, I've made you an appointment for then" Given that was then 5 weeks away I wasn't pleased. My practise nurse told me my numbers had fallen from 18 down to 8??? and they felt this was too fast.

Got another blood test tomorrow

Morning All

Ooh Earth that's early !
Did you get back to sleep ?

Mas what time is your appointment today ?

Gigs have you left already ?

Gracie your Onc appointment is this evening isn't it ?

Holding hands with you all today x

Morning,

topsy it is surgeon's appointment this evening, saw onc on Friday who told me to make appointment with surgeon which is why I am so concerned. Surely if onc thought it was scar tissue he would have said. I have a teeny tiny scar which is nowhere near the lump. So tiny in fact when I was getting mapped for rads the girls asked had I not had any surgery yet.

Huge hugs to everyone needing one. Still no word from pink?

Laptop isn't working and I haven't a clue. Keep getting error message and won't connect to internet. Does it not realise that will severely curtail my mumsnet time?

Morning all, hope they don't keep any of you waiting for your appointments.

Made Mum some porridge and now waiting for the carers to come. weekdays they are really late again, now the schools are back.

Need to sort out printer today so can get proof of enrollment for the bus company so I can give them lots of money!

Have booked a surveyor to look at the interesting shaped mushrooms growing on Mum's kitchen wall...

Time for a ?

My scar lumps are actually inside my boob , away from my scar line (IYKWIM?)
They do tend to play around a fair bit on the inside , so it may well be scars .
It's still not going to stop you worrying though is it ?

No news from Pink .

Yes please Jane , can I have an extremely large coffee please ?
Finding it very hard to get moving today .

bucket of coffee coming up for topsy

Racing in, straightening clothing and brushing back hair......

Just to say good wishes and handholding for Gracie, Gig, the lovely MAS - and for Pink of course. No news yet, so keeping it all crossed. x

Loads of strokes and hand holding to Amber and all those otherwise feeling a bit down. x

Ned- smashing specs! Especially the sunnies.

Just got another new project - hooray!!!

Off to have my hair cut to celebrate ( and so that I can see out), but thinking of all of you with more worrysome appointments.

Just popping on to wish MAS Gracie and Gig all the best for today, thinking of you and holding hands xxx

Gracie when I was worried about lumps mid-chemo, my onc had a feel then hauled the surgeon in because, as a surgeon, he knows more about what is/isn't scar tissue etc. I am sure this is the same thinking as for you. I felt much more reassured by the surgeon telling me all was fine than I would have been if 'just' the Onc. xx

Belated welcome back to Smee and Kurri, I missed you

Thinking lots about Pink (we did chemo at the same time). So, so sorry to hear your news and hoping the meeting on Monday was positive xx

Sitting here delaying typing out my 'unreasonable behaviour' essay for the Sol. Have been cheering myself up by thinking of this as 'another nasty lumpectomy' !!

gracie - I echo what Lime says about them getting the surgeon to look - its more reassuring for you because they are the experts. They might do an ultrasound - they did for me just to see what's what. My scar tissue is not near my scar - it's where they chop about internally - they do quite a bit of damage.

Lime - I meant to say how sorry I was to read about your marriage problems - very hard for you to deal with after all you've been through, hope you are OK and coping - you are very much in my thoughts xx

hand holding and good vibes for everyone having appointments today.

Sometimes - yay for new project and new hairdo.

Earth - I don't know what the figures mean, (and stupidly I can't remember what my carbomazole dose was) but I do know that secretaries ringing you up and changing the dose is a frequent occurance with this thyroid nonsense. Its a pain, but they like to change the meds as soon as they know the results. I've just remembered I was on beta blockers as well - because I had high heart rate and shaking, - don't know if there's been any mention of that for you - maybe not if you are feeling OK. Hope you managed to get back to sleep OK,its horrid when you are awake in the early hours and no one's about (and yes needless to say sleep problems are typical of thyroid disorders - it's another one of those gifts that keep on giving!!).

Hi Jane, coffee? - yes please I'll have a bucket too, these shingles meds make me feel like I've got a hangover (I promise I haven't been out on the tiles )

How is your mum at the moment? - It's a problem when carers come late I know, - throws everything else out in the day.
Mushrooms on the kitchen wall sounds slightly alarming - hope it turns out to be something easily dealt with.

I was supposed to be getting my hair coloured and cut this afternoon, but my hairdresser has rung in sick, so its rearranged for friday. I may go into town anyway, - to get a bit of shopping. On the other hand my sister gave me lots of bits and pieces form her garden which need planting out.

Oh and exciting news if you are sad like me I have eight little aubergine fruits growing in my greenhouse - they look very sweet

I had a nap on the sofa but of course evryone started getting up as soon as I settled, typical!

No mention of beta blockers Kurri but I'm taking so many meds I don't suppose I notice anymore. The rattling sound may be more noticable when I walk mind you The sun is trying to get out here, I hope it does, seems like nothing but rain lately.
