Think you might be on the wrong thread orangesun. Speaking personally, I’m a fan of medical science rather than psychics.
Hi again everyone, I’m back from the family visits and very glad to be home, with our lovely big bed and decent shower! Something about these relatives means they’re really averse to providing decent washing facilities and I always have to balance washbags on the toilet cistern or the floor - grrr. —Can you tell I have high standards for guest facilities?— 
Glad to hear your chemo is going ahead today WTF. The cold cap didn’t work for me and I gave up after two goes but I did find it was massively more bearable if I put on noise cancelling headphones and listened to something relaxing/beautiful. Bit late to tell you that for today but maybe it’s worth trying next time if you keep going. I have been wearing dark nail varnish since the start of chemo and so far it does seem to be working well. I’m halfway through the taxol protocol which I believe is where nail loss/damage is more likely and they are holding up well apart from a bit of flaking near the tips. To be honest the nail varnish 24/7 could be taking a toll as much as the chemo does and I will be quite glad to give it a break once I’m out the other side as it’s a faff and always seems to chip irritatingly quickly.
I’m pleased to hear the op went well Snows. How’s recovery? Good luck for your pathology results tomorrow. I’m facing a lumpectomy rather than mx and am slightly in awe of how ladies seem to be relaxed about a mx or even dmx. It would take me quite a mental adjustment, and I’m not even buxom. Were you having a reconstruction as well?
Miles how are you doing? Is there any update since Friday? Hope all is well

redspook you’re doing so well to be halfway through chemorads and I can only imagine how unpleasant it all is. I hear you on the taste buds thing. Before all this I don’t think I’d appreciated how much it matters being able to taste and savour food. Quality of life is definitely diminished when everything tastes horrible/cardboardy. Chocolate is still a bit off its best for me as it is for meercat!
Welcome f&l and I really hope the soreness from the tonsillectomy fades quickly. My cousin had the same earlier this year (diagnosed just before my breast cancer) and said the after pain from the op was really unpleasant. He has finished chemo and rads now and lost a lot of weight (added complication of Crohn’s) and it is requiring a lot of rest to build him up again. I hope you have good support.
gib, is it definitely saying that 10 lymph nodes were affected, or that they removed 10? If you are still concerned, can you contact your nurse/surgeon to seek some reassurance? It sounds as if you have written results rather than having them explained in person.
skap are you managing to get more restful sleep yet? I think you said you’re expecting the treatment plan to be agreed this week so I hope that comes through quickly and gives you something solid to latch onto.
Hello to anyone I’ve not mentioned. I wonder how some of our ladies are getting on that we haven’t heard from for a little while...
