The story of my ovarian cancer discovery is here

This is such an important health issue - there's a reason why OC is called the 'silent killer'. I really want more women to be aware of what few symptoms there are (I wasn't).

This is my story. I hope it's a long one.

Here’s hoping you can get a change of scenery with your DDs!

I’m running in an event tomorrow, and will be wearing the new Lacie running top

Good luck today iVampire!

Good morning TQ Smile

It didn’t go terribly well, but I did it!!

How’s your day, TQ ? Hoping for good progress towards being able to leave. Lovely sunny day here - so also hope you managed to get outdoors

TQ, have you noticed any improvement after the radio treatment? I guess that the pneumonia crisis has caused it to take a back seat, but I hope that side-effects haven't added to your problems.

TwitterQueen1 · 06/07/2019 20:40

Hi. No improvement no. In fact mention of another as mouth spasmiing.

Sorry to hear that, TQ Hope they're not causing you too much difficulty. At least your sense of humour seems intact. Smile

TwitterQueen1 · 08/07/2019 20:38

They serve supper at 5pm and breakfast after 8. Basically a 15 hour fast, which f steroid diabetic is rubbish. Late night banana is answer

“Late night banana is answer”

I must have the world’s filthiest mind

Toofaroutallmylife · 08/07/2019 22:44

iVampire - I thought it, you said it ..

Good to hear from you TQ Any sign of a move to the oncology ward?

nakedscientist · 08/07/2019 23:05

Hope you're enjoying your late night bananas! Don't get too frisky or you might get a ban Grin

SnowsInWater · 09/07/2019 08:21

Why do hospitals think that anyone over the age of five wants to eat at 5pm!

MilesJuppIsMyBitch · 09/07/2019 10:33

I remember having steroid starvation in hospital last year.

I was begging the nurses for food, & they made me hot buttered toast.

Best thing I've ever eaten.

Bloodybridget · 10/07/2019 09:11

It's such a long wait for breakfast in hospital, especially given lots of patients will have been awake since very early. When I was in just now, a nurse kindly made me a cup of tea at 6, but sometimes you can't even get that. Vital to have snacks to hand (Marmite sandwiches for me).

MilesJuppIsMyBitch · 11/07/2019 09:49

How are you feeling today TQ?
