Hnd good luck ( again ) for your op tomorrow. You sound like a lovely mum doing all of that for ds birthday I also have a 10 year old, there seems to be a lot of them on here !

smee · 14/10/2013 16:44

really, hooray for you. That's all excellent news. So, so pleased for you. xx

HND, will go see if I can find the cake on fbook, though I need a pic of the doughboy too. My DS had a bike for his birthday too.

Hope Kurri's okay.

amberlight · 14/10/2013 16:44

KK, I am so very sad to hear about this. Utter utter barsteward.

Handbags, hang in there.

all round.

Really, hurrah re bone scan! And that's a perfectly normal number of nodes. Barely changes your odds of splendid future prospects at all to have more or less nodes affected.

Gigondas · 14/10/2013 16:56

Kk - I am so sorry to hear what has happened,what a git. Sending you lots of love .

Really so pleased you got thru today With good news.

Hnd hope tomorrow goes ok and is last of the ops.

Hello to everyone else. Feeling pretty crappy as had bad nights sleep then fly jab or cold from mini gig making me feel pants. Also very worried about next scan after half term.but am lurking and thinking of you all.

handbagsatdawn · 14/10/2013 16:57

Really well done! That's great news. Enjoy a lovely drink and bath.

Had bone scan which was fine, quite relaxing. Just got weird reactions from nurses when I had finished - I asked about results and they mentioned that my case would be discussed at multi-disciplinary meeting on Friday. Should I be concerned? Is this normal? How much can the radiology nurses interpret when the scan is going on? I have a dodgey hip anyway so I'm aware that would have shown up as a hot spot during the scan....

They also confirmed I would get these results prior to surgery on Thursday. Don't want to be heading down to operating theatre on floods of tears.

Sorry, this is all the stuff that would have been going around in your brain Really for the last two weeks........paranoia.....

Gigondas · 14/10/2013 17:03

No I think it's completely normal to discuss scans and cases at team meetings. It is reassuring as you get everyone giving their input.

Marshy · 14/10/2013 17:04

Really utterly delighted for you

handbags I think discussion at team meeting is totally normal. it seems to be what happens here before any news is given or plans made/confirmed

Shootingatpigeons · 14/10/2013 17:16

KK I am so sorry. What a horrible shock. I suppose all the difficulties are beginning to make sense now (happened to me in my 30s, OW I mean). What a bastard though, a note . It felt completely devastating and disorientating even after only 11 years, it is a bereavement, though of your life together, not the person. The fact that they are still around risks keeping picking the scab. But honestly this is going to be another bloody new normal.

Take the advice on finances though.

The OW paying his fare to another country doesn't sound a recipe for success though and the sod might be back.......

excellent news really -well done.
Mr kk has behaved in the crappest,spinelessly deceitful way- there's no way he deserves our kk

OP posts:

MomOfTwoGirls2 · 14/10/2013 17:23

kk that is terrible, unbelievably cruel of him.

really yeah for your good news.

HND hope surgery went well

I started my chemo this morning. So far I'm feeling pretty ok. Just did a very leisurely walk to get some air. Beautiful day in South of Ireland today. I have very easy day planned for tomorrow, planning bed, book and catch up on Strictly.

handbagsatdawn · 14/10/2013 17:35

Well done Mom, hope the effects aren't too awful when they hit x

Can't believe KK's 'd'h either, what a selfish bastard. Pigeons I bet you're right - once the honeymoon phase wears off......

kitkat1967 · 14/10/2013 17:42

wow - lots happening here today.

sorry to hear your news KK - post on hear when you feel up to it.

great news Really - you now have the full picture and as Amber has said great news re odds etc.

and well done Mum - sorry I hadn't realised you had your first chemo today (can't have chemo on a Monday where I go!!) - 1 down and hopefully you will continue to feel well.

malteserzz · 14/10/2013 17:48

Gigs glad you have posted have missed you on here
Mom well done for getting through the 1st one, let us know how you are and if we can help with any side effects, I find they kick in after 4 to 5 days

Gigondas · 14/10/2013 18:21

Aw I was thinking of you with all the Katie price nonsense in the papers at weekend malt.
Pigeons sorry that you have voice of bitter experience here (and hnd) but lots of good advice for kurri.
Am worried about sore neck on bad arm side ( now can find lump there) which may be something or nothing but I think as I am tired nothing makes sense . Paris tesco next week tho

amberlight · 14/10/2013 19:10

Gigs, Paris Tesco sounds good to me. Fingers crossed for your sore neck...hope it's just a rude muscle or some such thing this time.

Mom, hurrah re first chemo! One down. Good plan to rest and relax. Not that steroids will let you do that, if you're on them...

Handbags, no, the radiology nurses cannot interpret and cannot tell you anything even if they could. They would be sued silly by people. It has to be done by either a specialist doctor or by a whole team, so there is nothing odd about that. Keeping things crossed for good news ahead for you.

malteserzz · 14/10/2013 19:20

I thought maybe she would concentrate on her baby after she went quiet gigs but see she has a book out now ! Tesco Paris will be a good break for you

Going back to hairloss I'm struggling with my eyebrows a bit, think the pencil I've been using is a bit dark and sometimes I can't get the shape right so I've ordered a set of stencils and powder from amazon, it was only £3.99 I'll report back when it arrives

MomOfTwoGirls2 · 14/10/2013 19:23

amber I had steroids in the morning, none for rest of day. I'm crossing my fingers for a good sleep! I didn't have have the best sleep last night...

Shootingatpigeons · 14/10/2013 19:27

gigs Sorry to hear you are tired and worried about lump. Muscles, ligaments and tendons do love to knot up and grow lumps though. I have a few on my gammy ankles especially up my Achilles tendon. Soon be amongst all those beautiful tomatoes....

handbags I had a bone scan in Hong Kong and there the radiographers spoke Cantonese throughout. It is quite a gloomy sounding language anyway as it goes down at the end and they often add a very low lah at the end as if to emphasise how terrible it is. They were probably talking about their lunch but I was convinced it was what they were seeing. It was of course fine! However you can always read the worst into the reactions of those doing the scans when in fact they are doing their best to react in a way which is neutral and professional, unless of course it is one of the Nurse Ratchetts a few of us encountered in which case they will enjoy the power of inspiring terror..........

Gigondas · 14/10/2013 19:30

Fingers crossed for you mom. Sounds promising how you have been so far.

Lots of good wishes as spoken to specialist nurse and they are bringing my scan forward to this week so can see what is happening on neck. Better to check but hope it doesn't interfere with tesco Paris. Had flu jab this morning which may explain node lump ( if that's what it is). I know it's the best thing to do to get it checked but it's so scary.

Shootingatpigeons · 14/10/2013 19:33

gigs Lots and lots of good wishes and hugs. Best to check but lots of good vibes for next few days.

amberlight · 14/10/2013 19:50

Blimey yes, Gigs, a flu jab will bring up nodes. Could well be that.

malteserzz · 14/10/2013 19:53

Good that your getting it checked gigs and I have everything crossed for you x

Tiny100 · 14/10/2013 20:45

Hello everyone, would you mind if I joined in?

I was diagnosed with BC last Tuesday and am really struggling to get my head round it all. As it was found in my lymph glands, I had the MRI, CT and bone scan's last week. The results were not perfect and I was told that there was activity in my shoulder. My consultant said that this may be nothing, but because of the BC it had to be treat as suspicious. I am trying so hard not to google about it, in fact this is how I come to be typing here.......to stop me googling and getting myself hysterical.

I am just so gutted, I have a two year old who I desperately want to see grow up. Sorry for such a self indulgent first post, life just seems so unfair at the moment.

smee · 14/10/2013 21:06

Tiny, sorry you've joined us, but hunker down with us. Your shoulder could well be nothing. Lots of people find anomalies on scans which later turn out to be nothing. Have they told you what's next yet? Ask all you want and we'll try and demystify it all. One of will doubtless have been through similar, but we are very much all still here.

Mum, which chemo are you having I can't remember. Well done on getting through the first one though. Hope no side effects coming your way.

Handbag my lot wouldn't tell me anything after the scan either. I read all sorts into it, but it's just what they do.

Bloody Mr K. Can't stop thinking about it. Poor Kurri. Sending yet more useless but heartfelt hugs xx

Gig, lumpy neck could well be flu jab, or it just be a lymph gland upset because you're tired?? I'd bet Tesco Paris will soothe it.

Waving to all. MAS have you got heat?? I do hope so.

handbagsatdawn · 14/10/2013 21:35

Thanks for reassurances about scans / staff attitudes, it really helps to know others have experienced this too .

Gigs fingers crossed your little lump is nothing and that all is good with you.

Tiny welcome and sorry you find yourself here. I speak from personal experience UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you Google anything. Ever ever ever.........ask the ladies here first as they know lots, having experienced most of it first hand. Everyone here will hold your hand. I haven't been here long, and they have helped calm me down lots already.
