38th tamoxifen - waiting for summer in the bus shelter

[Gigondas]

New thread.

I am not above giving Percy a kick- didn't you get fed up/ sore back lugging it around?
Will investigate the oil.

Sat in hospital waiting area with my sandwiches so fit right in with weirdos ( I point blank refuse to sit in radiotherapy waiting room a second longer than I have to). Today no cancer top trumps but several members of zz top awaiting hospital transport after blood test. Also had to look away as a couple of smokers in hospital gowns hadn't done them up properly (boak).

gigs that was not a nice mental image. Hurry up and get irradiated with special powers as no sooner had I read your post and gone down the High Street than I and a few other pedestrians were run over by a pack of grandpas on bikes all clad in cycling lycra outside the butchers. They'd been watching too much Tour de France and thought they had to be in a peleton which is not exactly what that cycle lane is about!! They were quite rude about it as well, lots of V signs and Fing and blinding. I just laughed but they had hurt an old lady....

Waving to poor Flippy. I found ice pops good. Worth a try?

Bit of drama here, as I saw my surgeon who syringed out lots of blood, but then decided I have to have another op and it's urgent apparently, so early evening. I have been allowed home to pack a bag. So hacked off, though comparatively trivial I know.

Love to all, will be back when the drugs let me.

at thought of gigs and her special powers giving evils to all the odd balls at the hospital

smee - that's a bugger that you need another op :( but glad it's getting sorted quickly, hope you are home soon, but guessing tomorrow if they are operating so late?

oh arse smee -what a bugger -but hopefully that will sort the peskiness out- take care my love and will be thinking of you xxxxxxx

Oh smee love - bugger about op but hope it sorts it all out. I shall hang around in my super hero cape looking for odd balls and fending them off.

They are a royal pain aren't they copt? Poor old lady. My usual comment is"does your mum not let you ride on the road?"

Nearly home- need a cuppa and to rest achy back.

smee Sending hugs and love, at least it gets it sorted sooner rather than later, but you must be feeling very battered.

They're back, last Lions tour I got an oven glove, this time it's a chopping board, but I am not actually complaining (I was last time) as it's a very nice chopping board made out of Camphor Wood and it smells of the bush. Also I have two smelly seed pods full of eucalyptus oil that also smell of the bush and a aussie hoody to garden in. The smell is making me very nostalgic though........ So they have done well

Hello all,

Just popping in to say hi. I had my blood test this morning, ready for final infusion on Wednesday! Woohoo! No fights this week, one man did push in but no one really noticed. It was the lovely young phlebotomist and we had a nice chat, he was very sweet and pleased that it was my last cycle :)

smee what a bummer, but at least they are sorting it quick I suppose! Will you have to stay in long? Lots of positive vibes and hoping you get lovely roommates or reeeeeally outrageous ones to entertain us!

gigs hope your back feels better soon. Loving the idea of you defending Twickenham in your cape! Maybe you can pop round and deal with Burglar Bill the cat who keeps trying to break into my bedroom at night, possibly to kill me

ned well done on solo!! That's fab :)

I'm never going to catch up with all the posts so love to all x

Hey, Tamoxigang. Just passing by to offer up malteser icecreams (which I discovered whilst hanging about at a 6 year old's birthday party yesterday - have to be some perks) for the Trolley.

Dear Smee, what a bugger. I'm sorry, and really hope surgeon sorts out the problem once and for all - you could always threaten him with a caped, luminous Gigs I suppose Good luck tonight x

Copt, I've come across those lycra-ed grandads in Richmond Park whilst practising for the PP Walk Have never heard so many rude words spoken with such posh accents. Extraordinary. Poor old lady, that would make me very

Love to all, and just a quick question - but don't answer if for any reason it's out of turn - is Kurri ok? I've missed her here! Hope all well, Kurri, if you're reading xx

Hi
Smee sorry to hear about your op hope it goes well and that you're home soon
I've had my hair cut don't really like it though she did a great job its like I used to have it years ago buy I don't really feel like me yet, it's bob length

Does anyone else hate hate hate people talking about them all of the time, feel like my whole privacy has been invaded. I know they mean well but everyone's asking eachother how I'm doing, if I've heard from the hospital etc etc can't wait till I'm yesterday's news !

Hi Elibean think I x post with you
Kurri said she had some stuff to sort out in real life hope she's ok and hurries back
Malteser ice cream accepted

elibean - KK is having a small break but is fine and dandy and will be back I'm sure

Thank you, ladies

Very happy to hear that, please give her my love when she reappears.

smee double buggeration for another op - hope it'll get you sorted out. Take care, lovely lady x x

Someone said ice-cream!? Yes please!!

malt you're right, you do become the topic of hot gossip, I'm afraid. Just let it wash over you, and it will pass. Thinking of you x

DS had his friend to play this afternoon - they're very sweet together, bumbling along from one thing to another. The trampoline saw quite a bit of action, as well as the Nerf guns.

Ach Smee , buggeration !
Hopefully you are under the surgeon by now (ooh er missus !)
Gentle hugs for a quick recovery x

Another one here hoping kk is ok and comes back soon .
I'm missing you !

Oh dear smee, hope mrsurgeon sorts it all out and the drugs wear off soon. Bugger that something that was supposed to be routine has to be redone. Busy day at work but at least dh pinned up the rose that had fallen down blocking next doors path! Dmil's house purchase has gone through so she will be here later in the week. She still has to sell her house in Bromley but she is looking forward to relocating oopnorth.

Smee, heck. Hugs and thoughts.
out for all
I'm not verbal enough today to be useful. Not that I usually am either.

Amber you've been a great help to me over the past few months hope you're ok x
Jchoc hope you get on with your mil then
Honeycomb cadburys mini fingers for the trolley and love to all hope you're all having a good evening ?

Nope, I'm not Ok but I shall sort myself out somehow. Just explaining why I'm quiet.

For amber and loving thoughts as you are having a tough

Time.

Also hoping kk is ok as I luffs her .

My back is properly sore but dr lovely reassuring in ways to manage it . Also should get some stuff for my throat tomorrow but nurse was keen on diff lam spray. Also ice lollies help.

Ooh just come back and lots of lovely people have suggested things to help me! Thank you all I shall work my way through them! This sucks! One chemo down, at least 11 more , nice to know I'm not alone though

Good evening all just checking in. I don't manage to get on here any more as work is taking me over again and I had a very vodka fuelled weekend.

I am still very paranoid and the surgery has left me with odd sensations in my throat which is of course giant neck cancers growing. I guess I need that scan to hopefully put my mind at rest. It just seems a bloody long time to wait for it. Would my onc think I was mad if I wanted a check up sooner ?
I am ok and fine and dandy most of the time but it hits me now and again.

This thread is impossible to keep up with. I may have to reduce my hours at work so I can spend more time on mn.

Crikey, lots of people feeling under the weather. It's not a exactly a walk in the park this cancer malarkey is it?

I wonder if you could make difflam infused ice cubes?

Hugs to all
NotJ wouldn't do any harm to ask if it would help
Trice have you had a good day?
Gigs hope you get a good nights sleep
Flippy glad you've had some help

Monday is always a crap day, it's Tuesday tomorrow and Tuesday will be a happier day I'm sure
