The thread in Chat has gone to thread heaven. Silly Zombie thought it wasn't due to go until tomorrow so missed her chance to ask HQ to move it here.

She slept well last night and feels reasonably well this morning.

Let the chat commence!

All I get from that link is " can't open the page " I was looking forward to aiming some really hard snowballs at a cretin I have heard about this week ! I really don't know how some people can live with themselves . May they rot in hell !
Zombie have you done your Xmas shopping? , I still have a few things to get but mostly for my kids and theirs and dh who is proving a bloody hard task this year. But nearly there now, I have just written all my cards, so that's another job done. Next week I have to make all the different parts of the family their mince pies. My mum used to do it and when she died somehow I took over and it's now my job ! About 9 dozen all together.

I will share the offer of catnip later with the cats. FabBoyCat is not himself at the moment Confused. Thank you Smile.

mummylin2495 · 13/12/2014 17:28

Hope you are as perky as your last message makes you sound ZombieXmas Grin

Up the wooden hill, and get some rest now! Sweet dreams!

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 14/12/2014 00:32

Nice to see you Zombie (((hugs)))

Sorry to hear about all the poorly pusscats, I hope they're on the mend soon.

Allalone are you still getting high winds? It's calmed down a bit here, still cold though.

Zing I could do with as much cunting bunting as you can spare at the moment, or just Pm me the recipe and I'll knock some up Grin

Ginger wine makes you feel very glowy ~~~~~~

Allalonenow · 15/12/2014 00:58

B3 yes, calm weather here, but very cold. I'm fed up with the winter already.

Zombie hope you're OK, and getting plenty of cat cuddles?

mummylin2495 · 15/12/2014 20:35

Hello Zombie, hope you had an ok weekend and that you are near a solution to ongoing things.i think it's this week you have your next apt isn't it? Hope that will go well ( fingers crossed )
No further updates on cats here yet so not sure what is happening.
Went to a huge market yesterday, took 3 and a half hours to get round it. Was 70 miles from here so by the time we got home I was knackered , still managed to buy a couple more gifts. Was very cold though.
Hope everyone else has nearly completed all the shopping I still have a couple more to get. I started in October and vowed I would not be shopping in Dec. Wrong ! I still am !

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 15/12/2014 22:52

Zombie sweetheart, thinking of you, and really hoping things are slotting into place to deal with ... FuckWitTwatBollocks ...!

There. And I didn't even shout Smile [what's the V sign emoticon]

lin no news must be good news for pusscats, non?

Allalone I love B3, sounds like a missile Grin

NeeeeeeeeeeeYooooooow! Booooooooooom!

Ahem Wine !

mummylin2495 · 15/12/2014 23:03

Update on cats. The most ill one has been allowed home for tonight. There is no hope. He will die in days or at the most few weeks, the other one will go the same way. The first one has to go back tomorrow for catheter removal and to tell vet how he has been at home tonight. I suppose if he is very poorly tonight. The vet will pts . My poor niece is so upset.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 15/12/2014 23:59

Oh lin that's awful, I'm so sorry sweetheart.

Would there be something to be said for calling it a day? If their days are numbered and they are only going to deteriorate?

It's heartbreaking.

mummylin2495 · 16/12/2014 00:35

I think personally I would be considering it now for the most ill cat, but I'm sure the vet will say if he thinks it's time to do it. I suppose it depends how he has been tonight. I'm not sure why he has a catheter Oh just thought probably because kidneys aren't working properly. I have to say they are lovely cats.its awful that they will both die and I wonder how many more that were in the same litter have the same thing.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 16/12/2014 01:48

Have PMed you lin xxx

ChippingInLovesChristmasLights · 16/12/2014 02:10

Lin, so sorry to hear about the cats, but if it was me, I would find that a wee bit easier to deal with than them having been poisoned. Still heartbreaking to lose them though :(. Your poor niece, especially right on Christmas as it's 'a marker' every year.

Zing, I feel you could have yourself a full time job with the bunting. I saw some today very similar to yours, it 'said' cake. All I could see was 'cunt' Xmas Grin

Sorry about the link, it was a very cute photo of one of the chicks pretending to be a snowball. Not sure what happened to it?!

Zombie I hope you're keeping your chin up and your solicitor on speed dial xx. Think nice thoughts, like ZombieLad calling you Mum. Xx

CatCushion · 16/12/2014 07:24

So sorry to hear sad cat news. Flowers

Thinking of you, Zombie and hope you are resting andrecovering, and that there is some Cake and Brew and of course soon some Wine and good company and some good times to your days, between appointments and working on the other things.

I'm off to see my oncologist and then going on to my niece's house for the night.

Wish me luck!

All the luck in the world Zombie, will keep everything crossed for you x

IamtheZombie · 16/12/2014 19:19

I saw my oncologist this afternoon. He confirmed that the MRI showed that the Tax had shrunk the liver mets. I will continue with Herceptin indefinitely as well as the Exemestane. At this point there's nothing else on offer except regular CT and MRI scans. As soon as something new shows up we'll look at more chemo.

I asked about prognosis. After all the usual disclaimers about each case being different, etc. he told me that given my history and profile the evidence indicates 9 - 12 months.

Obviiously I hope to do better than that but I just have to take it one step at a time.

Fairyfellowsmasterstroke · 16/12/2014 19:52

Wow Zombie - that's a reality check.

Don't really have anything constructive to say (i didn't want to read and ignore) except that, from what I've read on your posts, you're a determined fighter and I hope you prove him wrong!!!!!!!

I'm so glad you've got company in RL as, to hear such a prognosis out loud must have been a shock.

Does ZL know?????

CatCushion · 16/12/2014 20:16

Zombie, wish I could bundle you up in a lovely cozy hug and tell you things you want to hear.

Now you go steady and don't live it up all at once or let anyone spoil you rotten, of course I jest. Flowers < That's onw of those big showoffy floor standing virtual bouquets, and it smells divine. Grin

Allalonenow · 16/12/2014 20:37

How incredibly brave of you to ask that question Zombie. I'm so glad that you are with your DN tonight, from what I have read about her she will be wrapping you in love and kindness now, which is just what you need.

If anyone can squeeze life's pleasures, joys and love out of every moment, it is you sweet Zombie.

All x Thanks

mummylin2495 · 16/12/2014 21:04

Zombie with your strength of character I know you will be determined to prove them all wrong, and we will all be with you urging you on. I am sorry they had to tell you that. Glad you are not alone tonight , the prognosis must of been a mighty blow for you.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 16/12/2014 23:24

Well.
Damn. Bugger. Fuck.
As I believe you coined yourself Zombie love.

You were so brave to ask that question, I imagine the answer hasn't really sunk in yet.

I'm so pleased you're with DN, as you say, one step at a time, so knowing you, tonight will have been full of laughter, and bubbles Smile

Moments like this certainly throw everything into perspective don't they?

FlowersBears and big ((((((((hugs)))))))))
