Am sick of my messages never getting through - I have had 7 attempts to reply to Cakes' last post- am starting a new thread ....
this is what I wrote anyway.....

righto, this i my 7th attempt to reply on this thread - everything keeps disappearing !
My assessment is on 25th,and am told to allow two hours for it,crikey !!
Saw a lady in town yesterday who was having rads and finished at about the same time as me and she's just seen the onc. for her follow up - they are running very behind I know- so I emailed to ask about mine - I tie myself in knots in trying to be assertive yet not too needy or a nuisance - I suppose I just like to feel that everything is done in order. Am not worrying about my health -am sure breast is fine and dandy, it's more my emotional state which troubles me.
Anyway, they have made me an appointment but it's at the same time as my assessment so have emailed back and left a phone message...arghh !
Special thoughts for RWU today and of course KurriKurri - hope all ok..and of course you Cakes and Morph.

Thanks KK!

PS In answer to your question pranma - no, I don't hang around on any of the breast cancer boards, just this one!

Ages ago I wrote a poem which is on the bcpals home page.It begins:
'You are a stranger
I never saw your face
You hold my hand and share my waiting
In this new and scary place.'
Just thought I'd share as it sees appropriate for this thread too.

Cakesandale · 19/01/2010 12:32

That is lovely, Pranma!

KurriKurri · 19/01/2010 12:42

Thank you Pranma, - a lovely poem.

hope you are feeling ok sandripples and not too sore...
Have found teatotal's rantings and left my mark...

KurriKurri · 20/01/2010 12:31

Hello all, Hope everything went well yesterday Sandripples and you're not too uncomfortable, and will be home soon.

Oh FGS - Teatotal again!!

I sort of want to ask him/her/it what the hell she's on about, it makes absolutely no sense. But on the other hand don't really want to get into a debate. Think I'll have a go at reporting.

Cakesandale · 20/01/2010 12:43

I have also made my feelings known, but I also had a look at one of the things she suggested. (I know, I know...) Wish I hadn't and also [scared]

KurriKurri · 20/01/2010 12:52

Cakes don't look at the things she suggests, they are rubbish, please don't let this shite -peddlar scare you.

And RWU I x-posted with you on the other thread - feel so that this has upset you.

MaryAnnSingleton · 20/01/2010 12:56

don't look Cakes - it's all rubbish

Cakesandale · 20/01/2010 13:13

Never looking again, that's for sure.

RWU you were tremendous over there, sorry it was necessary, though. How are you feeling now?

God, I'd like to put a gag and a straitjacket on that flaming man/woman/entity

reallywoundup · 20/01/2010 13:19

in the words of one of my 6yo's "bollocks, bollocks, bollocks, bollocks, bollocks" (blame 14yo step daughter for that one- it's been his favourite word since!)

DO NOT LOOK AT TEATOTAL'S SHITE- EVER, DO NOT!

OOOh she really winds me up, i have tried being nice(ish), being concerned for her mental state, telling her she's a fuckwit and now getting incredible angry. None of these approaches have worked but i feel like she's got us over a barrel because i can't ignore her posts incase someone does take notice iyswim.

I actually feel better for blurting that out- i know everyone knew iyswim but i always skirt around the issue online and in rl! I think i've unleashed a new side of myself

KurriKurri · 20/01/2010 13:25

I didn't report the thread, because your post was so powerful RWU, and shows TT up for the charlatan she is.

Cakesandale · 20/01/2010 13:27

Glad it's made you feel better, at least

She sounds absolutely unhinged, I have no idea what she is going on about. She makes no sense at all, and I have to assume she is on a mission to mislead rather than just a misguided idiot, because she keeps coming back with slightly different approaches, every time one gets her a bollocking.

Dangerous woman, indeed!

Highlander · 20/01/2010 14:09

Ladies, my SIL is recommending a travel insurance company called Pink. Apparently travel insurance for those with a pre-existing medical insurance can be extortionate

Cakesandale · 20/01/2010 14:34

Thank you Highlander.

I am glad to see (on the other thread, which I claim to have left, but can't leave alone, sadly) that your SIL is able to get on with life - more power to her!

Cakesandale · 20/01/2010 15:04

Is it just me? Teatotal's thread seems to have been removed!

reallywoundup · 20/01/2010 15:59

its gone! yey, but also booo that i probably missed some stuff on it what happened after highlander joined in?

Cheers for the insurance thingy- not nescesary for me as we are staying put with bupa/ prime health because no-one else would touch me with a barge pole but we've been with them for years! But very useful for some! will also be picking your brains soon about car insurance ladies- Swinton and Diamond won't insure me, haven't tried any others yet, arrrggghhh!

reallywoundup · 20/01/2010 16:03

also a bit that my outburst has been deleted! wanted to print that off and keep it I might email HQ and see what they are going to do about teatotal.

reallywoundup · 20/01/2010 16:24

I've just mailed the towers re teatotal- i need to know whether she is gone for good or if we need to watch out for her Copy of message- will update if/when i get a reply

Greetings to all at the towers!

i am emailing on behalf of all the regulars on the cancer support thread (Tamoxifen thread). We have had a problem with one particular poster causing upset and spouting crap which really isn't helpful in our circumstances- teatotal.

You've deleted a thread earlier today which was much of the same- thankyou for that (even if it did contain my proudest post ever! ;-D) but we really need to know if she is going to keep popping up. She really is quite dangerous to anyone who is desperate iyswim.

Can you let us know if she has been asked to leave/ spoken to about her stupidity/ left to upset people all over again. I know it is an open forum and blah blah blah but i am hoping there is something you can do as this isn't the first time she's been brought to your attention.

Cheers

Reallywoundup

reallywoundup · 20/01/2010 16:31

blimey- Helens on the ball today, instant reply from the towers thus:

Hi there

Thanks so much for your mail.

We've been aware of teatotal for a little while now but it was only today that we put all the pieces together and realised the extent of her posting history. (So sorry to have deleted your proudest post ever in the process!)

We completely understand your concern, and would like you to know that we have dropped her a line.

Best
Helen
