Tamoxifen 28

[Gigondas]

Another shiny thread

I think she is starving !! I guess you sleep better as your body isn't busily digesting, possibly..

Yes I think that's it. I had visions of having to get up in the night to eat, but that's not the case so far.

Spotted anyone in the paralympics crowd yet?

no ! went upstairs and had a lie on my bed instead !

'evening all. ?

Got the hospital to give me my blinking mammogram appointment today, but only after I'd nearly collapsed from panic. They tried to tell me that they couldn't fit in a mammogram at all and they'd have to move my consultant appointment to days I can't do at all. My lovely bc nurse sorted them out for me and clipped them lightly round the ear'ole with a set of autism patient particulars (probably not literally). Urk. But it's sorted, which is good. Except now I have mammogram at 8am and consultant at 9am, and no recovery time between the two, so I might crash out again.

Good that the appointments are sorted, amber yes, def time for !

dh has done a few days of that 5:2 fasting diet from Horizon, the first couple of days he did back to back and had nightmares. I made him split up the other days and so far so good, weight seems to be going down, even with not watching what he eats on the other days.

I've got a nasty cold now, but been to work and taken dd1 to the bank to sort out some money, and she got 12 passport photos so she is nearly sorted for college. She is out at the pub saying goodbye to her friends this evening.

Watching yesterdays new tricks now.

amber irksome but at least will be over and done with - seems an idea.
jane sorry about pesky cold...take care of yourself x

Anyone around this evening ?
Everybody has gone to bed here and all is very quiet .
But I think I may just have had a panic attack .
My heart started beating really fast and I could feel a flush working its way up from my chest to my face .

I don't know why though .
I was no more worried about anything tonight than I have been for the past year ?

Left for hosp - have to b there at 07.30 x

That does sound like one. Odd you should suddenly get one- maybe going to hospital for tests ? I can think I am fine then it catches me. Had pretty broken night with mini gig so could be a long day of tests.

anyone?

Good luck laetissimus xx

Sorry to hear you had a panic attack, topsyturner - I've not had many but I do know they are horrible. I find I generally cope well in a crisis then fall appart when the urgency goes, could that be the same for you? (sorry, I'm not sure what stage you're at).

That's an early start Laetissimus - I hope your "sore nipple-itus" is minimal.

Do you have tests today Gig? I hope they go well.

I saw a GP on Monday then got home from work yesterday to a letter from the hospital giving me a clinic appt for this coming Monday - much faster than 3 weeks. Thankfully I had chance to mention it to my boss at work yesterday so a quick text yesterday confirmed that she is happy for me to have the time off work - and as she has been though this recently ran me through what to expect and where to park!

that's good that you haven't long to wait OGB
Thinking of you Laetissimus x
Poor topsy - sounds like a panic attack,though have never had one as far as I know

gig is it ct and whatnot for you today ? good luck lovey x

Ct Friday - ECG and kidney function check. But can wonder off to Marylebone High st between tests which helps

Hope you are feeling better this morning topsy. It does sound like a panic attack.

Will be thinking of laetissimus and gigs today with appointments. Good luck to you both.

Glad you don't have too long to wait ogb. The clinics do try to see you quite quickly.

Glad you got you appointment sorted amber.

jchoc hope you feel a bit better. Summer colds are awful.

Off to help mum buy a new fridge/freezer today what an exciting life I lead Hope everyone has a good day.

Waves to mas, otm, ned and anyone else I have missed.

The heart clinic is better than tv. Some man doing his wife and wifes family heart history. Doesn't seem in any way bothered we can all hear, that his wife could speak for herself (she just repeats odd word) .

And I haven't even got to clinic where last time someone kept Havjng to lie down in the corner

Gig !

Hugs to OGB, Amber, Gig, Topsy, Laettisimus and JChoc for all the various trials of the las couple of days. Hope all goes smoothly and serenely for you all today.

Fast day yesterday went swimmingly until 9.30pm when my eyes lighted on a bag of M&S crisps. Ah well, tomorrow is another day I'm kidding myself now that, even with a 200 cal bag of crisps, I did OK yesterday

Morning all!

sometimes am tempted by the idea of this fasting diet - is there a website/ link that explains how to do it? I tried to find the horizon programme on iplayer but no joy.

Also, does anyone know if I am allowed to have a massage? Wanted to treat myself to something nice, but salon said they need clearance from the hospital. Will I not be allowed?

Hope everyone who is having a stressful week is feeling better or at least doing OK today. Fingers crossed for all tests and treatments. Thinking of you all x x x

There is some info about the fasting on the BBC news article which was written when the show broadcast and more info from the Telegraph (scroll down to the bullet points if it's a bit long).

Thanks a lot for the link OGB - Will check it out and consider if I have the willpower!

ned if you find a proper massage therapist you will be fine- I have had and been Having massages all along.

Seen this thread shagging in work toilet. This happened at our work- and in disabled loo. Imagine what a thread that would be

www.google.co.uk/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=eat+fast+and+live+longer+youtube&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&redir_esc=&ei=3kBHUNG5KIHA0QXqw4CQDg

This is the programme, Ned. If it doesn't work, Google 'Eat, Fast and Live Longer', it's available in full on You Tube

OMG - I work from home, how I miss these great office happenings. If someone was shagging in the toilets when i went in I would tell everyone I could think off so we could all wait and applaud when they came out. Sigh. I miss those days....

OK, have just read to the end of that thread and it has got a bit sad now so I take back what I said about it being funny (though it really, really was, at the start )

had my appointment yesterday to discuss my recent scan results showing my cancer was back ,i knew it wasnt good but results were far worse than i expected

shows i have numberous tumors on my liver,adrinal gland,nymth nodes and a tumor wrapped around a major blood vessel.

operations and radiotheraphy are out of the question because to many areas to target,the best they can offer is continious chemo in tablet form which is taken for 2 weeks then a weeks break.there is no cure just aimed to keep me alive for long as possible or as long as i can tolerate chemo.

im strangely calm,deep down i think i knew.

Pink- I am sending you a {{hug}}.

It's rough and no other way to talk about it. Am sending you love and positive vibes. I am glad you are calm but if you do feel need to vent , be sad , angry , scared or anything else be feel free to. I know I have felt all these things ,sometimes all at once, since I got the chronic/Incurable diagnosis.

I didn't quite believe the wise topsy when she said it is possible to learn to live with this - but in time I did and I am sure you will too.
