Tamoxifen 28

[Gigondas]

Another shiny thread

A belated wave to Lime from me too. Seems ages since we 'spoke', my lovely, and I am so sorry about the marriage problems. As you say though, that's another nasty bit that needs lopping off so you can get on with your life as you deserve. x

Gracie - i agree with everything everyone else has said - and I am keeping everything crossed for scar tissue.

KK - I am a saddo, but I have grown aubergines in the past. I would be well happy with several tinies in my greenhouse.

Lime, sad to hear your news, though I'd guess in the end a relief to have a decision if it's been grim. How are your boys? Hope okay with it. What a time you've had. The future will be bright - or at the very least brighter am sure. Most definitely your turn.

Hand holding for MAS and Gigs and distractions for Gracie if needed. I think evening appointments are so v.cruel. Keep busy if you can xx

Kurri, am in awe of teeny aubergines. We've grown nothing this year. I have big plans for next though. Pity we only have a teeny garden..

Sometimes, yay for new project. You're on a roll by the sound of things.

Had coffee first thing with my friend who had the tricky birth. Her DD is doing okay now. MRI shows she might have got away with the horrors of the birth. They're saying potentially no long term damage, though it's still a waiting game. So lovely to cuddle her.

hello everyone! I feel better!!!!!

have tackled the washing, sorted out ironing pile and 2 friends popped round to see me. oh my goodness how good to be alive

but dd very troubled by now obvious hair loss and is finding it hard atnew school. probably new school nerves but poor love, having a mum with cancer isnt really the right kind of intro is it?

dh says we can have a day trip to seaside if i still feel good at the weekend. hurray!

mas gig gracie good luck and hugs to you and anyone else - will now go and read thread properly to catch up.

OTM - it is indeed good to be alive! I am so glad you are feeling better I hope you can get to the sea - v healing. Poor dd though. Give her time, she's got a bit of adjusting to do.

Smee - great news about the baby

waves to all- going at about 2 ish - thanks for all the hands to hold. Took my friend S out to coffee and cake at Italian cafe,which was nice- it's her birthday- managed to drink 2 strong cappuccinos (on top of my breakfast cafetiere) so will bwe buzzing a bit...had a v nice croissant.
Hope pink is ok - thinking of her and everyone who needs good vibes x

for OTM. Great to hear you're on the up. Life is for living and you have lots to come. Poor DD, she's just at such a tricky age isn't she. Strange as it sounds, I'd bet seeing you a bit more energised and doing things like the washing and ironing will help her.

Yep, OTM, I'm with Smee. Seeing you 'normal' again will do her the power of good.

With you all the way MAS. Thinking of you lots. x

Me too, MAS. Have everything crossed for you. How very you to be thinking of Pink.

Pink, if you're out there we'll keep thinking of you until you're pack. Hugs from me xx

Thinking of mas

Tests ok.. However they hadn't booked me in to do new picc .. Therefore potentially no chemo til tomorrow . Therefore potentially days delay in getting out

Bugger, Gigs. Who screwed that up then?! What do you mean by tests? Is this the CT results?

Yes ct results and kidney/heart test that show whether chemo knackered me.

There is no test to show the effect of hospital incompetence on me - and it is hard to moderate your anger when I know it's not fault of staff that are on today.

But "okay" means chemo's working, ie shrinking things? Hope so. xx

I think you're allowed to be beyond furious. You'd probably got off on mitigating circumstances if you went for full vengeance. I'd be a great character witness.

Yes shrinking both lots of nasties .

Am sitting in my room mulling my next move .

And resisting the temptation to post get a grip on a lot of current threads

YEAY!! I know it's never totally wondrous, but at least that's in the right direction.

Go indulge yourself then. Just tell me which threads so I can enjoy the carnage.

So pleased for your gigs shrinking nasties is fab news and you have only had a few chemos so imagine what your results will be at the end. I would be furious as well. I told you before piccs are horrid, mine actually played ball today so it is still in situ, bet the sod doesn't work tomorrow for chemo though. I dare you to post get a grip you will only be saying what everyone else is thinking.

lime sorry about your marriage problems. This dreaded disease seems to put a strain on relationships, friendships, etc. Will be thinking of you.

mas hope your appointment is going well.

overthemill yippee for feeling better, hope the weather holds for a trip to the seaside.

Collected DH's birthday cake today. It looks fab, and I have bought him a watch which arrived today as well so wrapped that and the lovely mas picture so all set for Friday. Can't believe he is going to be 50 . My lovely embarrassing problem is back again with a vengence so currently switching between sitting on one hip or lying flat on my back. That should make the travel to hospital tonight an experience.

Have already been on taxi rank one yesterday . Let me see where Else I can have fun. I am often tempted in relationships but one thread there turned very ugly when people didn't toe the party line.

Looks like picc may be in today after pleading here so fingers crossed.

Will be back later otm glad you are better - was wondering what might help your dd / she is 13 isn't she?

lime cannot tell you how sorry am
About your marriage.

jane what happened about hire car?

2 yo with mumps.. Am too scared to post why didn't you vaccinate him (apologies if anyone here anti vaccine). IMe the anti vac brigade like sharks to blood

There's been a mahoosive row at DS's primary about those who don't vaccinate. Outbreak of Measles sparked it.

kk I'm impressed by aubergines - I planted some but they came to naught :( I do have three courgette plants and a few tinies on there - harvested the first bigish one to bring and show off to Mum.

Yay for shrinking nasties gig :( for the picc -and go on, tell them to get a grip, I dare you ;)

smee baby cuddles :)

Have bought dd her bus pass today and planted out some pansys, need to tidy up with extreme prejudice before surveyor tomorrow, and remember to tell the cleaner not to move the mushrooms...

xpost - still have the hire car until Thursday. Should have done two one way hires, but it may have worked out more expensive...

hooray for shrinking nasties gig but grr about incompetence.
I am back and it wasn't very good news - they reckon the b cancer has spread to my lungs (there are about 9 bits on both lungs) - saw the consultant's registrar who went through it with me (and nice lung nurse) - have to have another scan to check the rest of me and am seeing onc. on Friday. Lung nurse tried to get hold of my bcn but she wasn't about. Am fine really- have told dh and my dad but we are keeping it from mum until we know what the plan is as she'll be plunged into deeper depression and gloom. Dh is going to Waitrose to buy something nice and medicinal to drink.

bugger, mas

Double hugs from me mas - hope the medicine helps

Oh MAS sending you big Dorset hugs. Hope you can get a plan in place with onc on Friday. When is your scan? Not too long to wait to find out what's what? Hope DH found something medicinal in Waitrose - god knows, you deserve it. Stay strong, lovely, and we're all here rooting for you x x x
