38th tamoxifen - waiting for summer in the bus shelter

[Gigondas]

New thread.

Back from hospital and all has gone OK so far. saw the Murray match on TV whilst on chemo so hope my shouting didn't get anyone worried! Quieter day tomorrow as have only an early evening appointment with breast surgeon. Back to hospital for bone density testing on Friday.
Strange phone call to the insurers this morning getting authorisation code for next test. I named our local NHS hospital which I think is internationally well known and is connected to an even better known university - but lass at call centre had never heard of it so I had to spell it for her!

Ooh, well done Lily. Hope you continue to feel well. That call centre was probably in the highlands of scotland or somewhere like India. Do you have to call every time you need a test?

Hurling lots of fbs onto the trolley for Elibean. Loiter and graze with us. Hope surgeon's wonderfully reassuring, but will be thinking of you.

Happy Birthday to BigCopt. How extraordinary to get a child to 21. Most impressive. though a bit sad she's had to go to the other side of the world to escape you

No Topsy, or Gig and still no Kurri either. Am about to don combat gear and come looking for you.

Waving to all. See you tomorrow. Look !! That's the closest I've been to a game in years.

Thank you Smee

Topsy spotted on Word earlier so clearly still alive No idea where Topsy is....

Call centre is in Salford but I wouldn't be surprised if they'd never heard of the Christie over in Manchester. My NHS hospital starts with an A and is in acity with a famous university starting with C so scarcely obscure. for private treatment you have to phone up for authorisations for every part of your treatment which is rather tedious but you do get better food and marginally faster access to diagnostic tests. First time I've used it and only because of the firm's policy.

Wave at Elite and Angry, hope your appointments go well and nothing nasty is found.

I have had a lovely day gardening. If only I could stop coughing and catch my breath it would be perfect! Stupid cancer.

I made coffee ice cubes. They are nice in baileys. Or in milk for the dcs. A nice treat for the weekend.

Swinging by to send much love to everyone - had a hideous couple of days - too dull to explain when everyone has other stuff to worry about - but have missed loads. . .

Sending biggest hugs for waiting, tests, results, birthdays, sports day medals, proms, check ups, appointments and treatments.

Lots of love x x x

:( ned I hope everything is okay now? Love and hugs xx

Glad it went ok Lily
Trice coffee ice cubes sound lush especially in baileys
Ned hugs you know where we are if you need an ear to listen x
Elibean good luck let us know how you get on thinking of you

Thanks ruby - just a bit wobbly, i think its because I've reduced my antidepressant dose. Everything just seems a bit harder work this week, and shit going on at school

I'm here !
bit scared of Smee hunting me down and dragging me back to the mumsnet lair

Welcome to our newbies .
Sorry I haven't been around to greet you .
Ask away with the questions , nothing's sacred here the ruder the better

Just been busy with the DCs final week at school .
DS broke up today . But only informed us yesterday that the deposit and permission letter for next years pilgrimage to Rome had to be in by today !
Teenaged bloody boys eh ???

DD breaks up on Friday .
She is going to be so bored , most of her mates go away for the first 2/3 weeks of the hols .

It's gonna be a long summer

No Gigs about today ?

Mas when is your scan ? Tomorrow or Friday ? Will you have to wait for results ?

I have taken a deep breath and made apt with my gp for my smear test in 2 weeks time .
I'm only 8 years slightly over due .
Kept telling myself that the Grand Poohbah couldn't be so cruel as to give me Fanjo Cancer too ...
Will speak to her about my peeing myself issue too , if I haven't died of mortification by then.

KK if you're out there , mwaaaaah !
Missing you lovely .

Eli get your arse back on Words With Friends , you are thrashing me again !

Bah !
Should have said -hands Ned !
Blinking fat fingers

I'm sure twiglets are the answer. . . Suspect Bacardi might be the unfo

Bollocks. Got fat finger syndrome here too . .

Suspect Bacardi might be the undoing of me

coffee icecubes....our entire household (bar dog) would swoon over those...

Thanks for thoughts and welcome, will update tomorrow promise.

Best get back to thrashing Topsy before I get into trouble...

Night all
Had hot milk and toast which are meant to aid sleep and just about to put my wave app on lol !

I'm here in the early hours again ! Am quite pleased though as have slept till now which is the best nights sleep without pills I've had since dx
Bit nervous about tomorrow as dh is staying in London and it will be my 1st night sleeping on my own since dx I know that sounds a bit pathetic
Hope everyone's sleeping well

Oh somebody wake up I'm talking to myself here !
What's everyone up to today ?
Good luck to Betsy, thinking of you
I'm taking the car to the garage, seeing one friend for coffee and another for lunch
Will keep me busy and hopefully stop me thinking

Wow, I went to bed early and missed all sorts of stuff in the bus shelter wonders if bacardi and coffee ice cubes mix?
I'll put the on! Wish I could have a day off work and spend it in the garden... in the greenhouse on mn Too much going on here to spend the time replying to everyone, but thinking of you lovelies going for ops results and treatments today.

Hi malt! Good you have your day planned. Try to fit in some exercise. It is a mood lifter and helps sleep patterns ime. Will you be walking anywhere?

Morning yes I'm walking back from the garage and to my friends then probably back to pick the car up
Another friend has said shes got a yoga DVD she will lend me
Enjoy your day

argh ! can't keep up ! Welcome to angry and waving to elibean with much hand holding from me.
ned hope you are ok my lovely xx
lily well done and happy big birthday to little copt abroad.

topsy pilgrimage to Rome ! exciting but boys are terribly vague about letters and whatnot. Scan tomorrow - irksome day as it's prom (which will be lovely) but it makes me nervous for T,and after party,it's just a very long day what with being up early for scan,with no eating or drinking,then sorting ds out and waiting up..... have emailed bcn to see if he's about for cofffee but I'm sure she'll be busy in clinic..dh coming with me though.
Am feeling really worn out as everything is a bit of an effort and feel like a dried up (literally) husk- ugh. But apart from that am fine and dandy

Can't keep up with this thread at the moment...

Hugs to all waiting on results/having treatment/dealing with problems at home or at work.

Off to be poisoned once I've taken the kids to school am bricking it now the day has come will report back later.

good luck betsy -thinking of you- treats for when you get back x

Good luck Betsey - had my first poisoning session yesterday and am now downing the anti-nausea pills (I think I shall get a fancy box to put all my meds in!)
