**TAMOXIFEN 35**the all dancing,fat boy snacking and drugs thread

[MaryAnnSingleton]

yoo hoo - over here- bring the trolley...

I should say too that after a CT scan in February the mets had shrunk quite noticeably

As had mine trice so there is some hope for you.

no rush gig as am doing my book and another pic for a neighbour.
Waitrose don't do their own brand W whips as far as I can see....

lunch out today with school friends (we go way back to primary school) !

I reckon the largest one shrunk by half-it was 1.5 cms I think in Feb

I am quickly dashing in with a surgical mask and antibacterial gel a plenty as I have a nasty bug. I feel so ill I think it is norovirus generously passed on from my in laws. I won't throw anything on the trolley. Typical in my first week back at work I am going to have to ring in and rearrange my day.

Off to catch up with the thread.

Trice I am sorry to hear about the mets. Lots of us to handhold and as you can see some who know exactly how you feel but also show you do have a future. We promise no mention of being brave and a fighter.

smee friend wrote very nice reply to my Cancer tourettes, that having watched her mum go through it she felt she had to do something, and felt a bit guilty, then this "So proud of you --- for having the guts and motivation to go through what you are, voluntarily, to help for friends , both here and gone! Cancer is horrid but it sure feels good to beat it and people like you, who keep trying make it easier to get over for good. Well done brave girl! I am so in awe and proud of you xxxxx

Aiyah! Am I an evil jaded cynic to feel ever so slightly sick ..... but I did know I needed to be prepared for the passive aggressive acolytes.

However all the footporn on my fbook page has made me feel better!!

Off to Pompeii exhibition for second time Meeting up with my old university flatmate who lives in Canada now plus other friends, may have to go on into piss up evening meet up .

Eek
Hope you feel better soon .

Catching up on this weeks ep of Game of porn Thrones before shopping .
I luffs this program !

Wearing new shoes .
Feeling fine

Aw Cop , are you Really Brave ?

No she's not brave topsy - she is a fighter and a cancer survivor ( gets punk fluffy slippers and starts to run before cop catches her).

Am about Pompeii as definitely want to see it. And after a must.

We have game of thrones on box set but not got round to it - I take that as recommendation topsy.

Enjoy your lunch mas. I am enjoying peace as gigs on school run and decorator not here yet (he is lovely nannys boyfriend) .

While I was banged up, dh arranged for whole house to be decorated. He has done one room already . Not looking forward to when it's gigs room as will mean mini in with us. That translates as in bed with us plus all badgers etc.

Can you send the decorators round to my house please Gigs ?
We sanded the woodwork back 2 years ago , and still haven't managed to re paint them .
That's another thing I blame Bastard Cancer for !

argh, dh keeps on at me to ring decorator (who is v lovely too and v nice company when we're working together in the house) to do utility which is cobweb heaven and dining room... the front gate which we wanted replacing has finally collapsed with woodrot....I hate disruption though.

@ brave fighters !
poor nj hope you're feeling better v soon.

Nip off the box for a moment and Topsy's stolen my matches..

Hello Trice. How awful to get that news after the 5 year mark. You must have thought you'd seen the last of it. Stick with us on here. At least we get how scary it all is.

Copt, that woman - stunningly stupid. G'ah to her.. Not sure on my niece. Her mum's a teacher, so I'd imagine she'd know how to fight it all. I want to see Pompeii show too.

How you today, Gigs?

Sorry not to post more. Got a mountain of work, so will nip in later.

topsy and I are going out on a tesco trip today .... I have all the pink ribbons and the cancer shield and lance ready to sit topsy in the trolley to let her bravely joust around the store against healthy head tilters.

Am liking the idea of punk fluffy slippers, Gig!

Hello Trice - welcome. But sad to see you. x

trice I am so sorry you have to join us it must have been a massive shock. Stick round, we are good at supporting each other whilst discussing everyday (non cancer) life too

Well they are naturally pink and sparkly as its for the cause;)

Am doing ok hnd- just off to supervise sorting out all the gigs clothes that are too small (dunno if it's having girls or fact dh goes mad on Internet but we have way more clothes than needed) as trying to sort things for decoration.

Good morning all Hand holding needed today. District nurse coming today to take the metal thingies holding my insides in from my hip to knee operation (eek) Our grandson is here (14) positively bouncing with excitement that she may allow him to watch the procedure.

Going off him with every grisly question punctuated with bounces.

Will it hurt?
How much?
Will you bleed?
How much?

I'm feeling fragile to start with as a mind numbing bout of pain hit me as I was getting dressed leaving Dh to put my bra and top on "first time I've done it that way round" he muttered

Thanks for the welcome folks. It one of the wonders of mumsnet that you can always find someone to understand and make you laugh, no matter what.

I am going to sit in my living room which closely resembles a florists at the moment and eat some dark chocs. I am afraid I can't bear walnut whips, my sister loves them to the extent that I buy them for her birthday treat. They are obviously the marmite of chocolates.

I don't know any details about my diagnosis as I ran away before they could tell me much. I was too busy being brave.

I try and keep details light as or just stresses me. Unfortunately had to do more detail than I liked when was stuck in hospital with no dh there to field the queries. I am getting better at tuning out.

Choclit is essential to help tho.

I must be feeling better as I keep browsing the wedding madness Aibu . Kurri - would it help if we played tag team winding up the bridezillas?

And am so glad you were being brave and you know fighting trice

Earth-will it be staple removal of stitches? It looks exactly like when they take staple gun out ( stings a bit but no blood ime).

hand holding here for you earth

In work so have to be quick. My goodness so much to catch up on. My laptop at home is playing up again so haven't been around much - my phone is rubbish so perhaps I need an iphone too ned

gigs argh re: double radiotherapy but it will be over in no time. Hope you pain is settling. I will sit on the box whilst hnd and topsy nip to Tesco to replenish fbs.

earth hope your DN appointment goes ok today.

trice sorry you find yourself here. This disease is truely crap.

Please tell me I'm not the only person who feels extremely uncomfortable at all the 'How many likes I've beaten cancer' fb posts recently. It just makes my teeth itch.

Waving to all, sorry if I have missed any appointments. Did I say so pleased figgys appointment went well? can't remember but hope your DHs appointment goes ok and he gets a good result from his CT.

Right must go and do some work - I am struggling with being back and worry about my concentration ability to string a sentence together

DN been and gone, a couple of the staples stung but she was super gentle and said she would stop to give me a break if needed, around 30 in all. She redressed the wounds and I'm to remove this in a few days. Easy peasy I'm delighted to say

Been reading this thread for a while and plucked up courage to go the doctors today about a breast lump. He thinks it feels suspicious or a fibro something. I've booked to see a private consultant this evening I just couldn't wait. Had to tell dh last night he's v upset and I've just had to tell my mum too. I'm quite a private person so finding it hard. Anyway best wishes to you all and if I do get bad news I will be joining you
