New thread folks!

Link to Previous thread

are you able to eat ok?

hurrah for sleep and I hope pesky aches and temperature will piss off soon.

I wish for you another good night's sleep and good energy levels for tomorrow.
is it food shopping or something else?
Do you ever shop at Tesco? they have the most amazing Orange Curd in their Finest range. I think you'd like it.

Hope you've had another restful night Zombie & not overtaxed yourself today with shopping. Keep that pesky temperature in order or I'll have WORDS with it!!

We're off to a race night at DS's rugby club later. I have been told I can have up to two large glasses of wine if I like (yay). Take care sweetest x

I hope your aches have gone Zombie and temperature has stabilised.

Should be a nice quiet week pottering in the garden, lovely light evenings.

Have been invaded by kids and their friends all w/e, only one still here and she's retired to bed with catch up TV

Hope you enjoyed your iklboo and haven't suffered today.

It was luffly thanks B3. Ended up having three glasses in the end over about 3.5 hours. No hangover but the dreams I had were something else! Very weird & disturbing - even for me.

Have we all survived the gales today?
Quite scary driving along the coast.

Hoping you have had lots of rest and didn't tire yourself out shopping. xx

Didn't sleep well last night because if the wind (not DH for a change!). Finally dropped off about 3am. I'm up at 6!

Tired = worse with the dizzy. DS had a hyper friend round to play. I came up to bed at 6. DH had an hour's lesson 6:30pm so I've changed the bed, had a hot shower, bit of a pamper (gorgeous stuff from my Mother's Day Glossybox). Now I'm watching Back In Time For Dinner & swearing at the woman who can't cook chips in a chip pan

Anyway - hope YOU had a restful night & day today Zombie and are tucked up with the ZCats out of this horrible weather.

Hi Zombie I'm more of a lurker than a poster (I'm never very good at finding the right thing to say) but today I had an urge to see how you were doing and tracked down this thread. I really hope you are having a good day

Hi Chicky once you've posted you'll be on magi's list for gin rations.

There is no escape

What you've said is lovely.

Dreadful weather here today, back to winter! Hope everyone is safely snug and warm.

How are you feeling Zombie? Hope you have battened down the hatches and are snuggled up with your cats

Have you had your pub crawl fact finding mission B3? How did it go?

Why oh why did they pick a family who can't cook and who have little interest in trying different foods for Back in Time for Dinner? The wife couldn't even use a tin opener And why do they chop/prepare veg with a bread knife???

Chicky You had better stay for cocktails now you are here

I'm more than but there's a first time for everything!

Afternoon dear ones. Huge ZombieHugs™ to all who need them.

Welcome to our phalanx ChickyEgg.

I had a letter from my oncologist yesterday letting me know that my bone scan was CLEAR!!!

Today I've had an appointment letter from the Liver Surgery Clinic at the QE Birmingham. It's on 10th April at 10:50am. I guess this means they feel they have something to offer me. I see my oncologist the day before so she can probably give me an idea if we're looking at resection or radiofrequency ablation. I'm both excited and a bit concerned about how I will manage post procedure. There are drawbacks to living alone in a very rural area.

WHOOOOOOOOOOP re the bone scan results. How fan-bloody-tastic!!! That's amazing news. Also optimistic news from the liver team.

Hopefully your oncologist will have some ideas about post treatment and options open to you. I'm sure Team DBF will come up with some thoughts

Many hugs & leaps of joy for you. Celebratory rations all round.

Fantastic bone scan news Zombie

I don't really understand all the other things but I will be excited with you and concerned for you.

((((()))))

Radiofrequency ablation is a way of burning off the tumours. It should be able to remove them completely.

Resection is operating to remove the affected part of the liver.

Am I right in thinking ablation would be less invasive for you & make for 'easier' recovery (not that any of it is bloody easy of course)?

YEEESSSSSSS!

amazing news Zombie !
so so pleased for you

Presumably you have a preference and they will take that into account.

All fingers crossed for you.

I am in awe of your knowledge of what is going on & totally salute you for that.

In honour of this (& ChickyEgg) I am doling out a LARGE ration of gin tonight.

However, don't expect any fucking choccy eggs from me!

Cheers magi. I'll get the choccy eggs in () () ().

If I had the pennies I'd get us all a Hotel Chocolat ostrich egg each. Unfortunately it's a bag of mini eggs each.

I am also in awe of you, Zombie lass. Xx

I wish I were free to come and lend a hand post ablation.

What absolutely wonderful news Zombie, you must be so relieved. Hope you have got a glass or two of fizz to celebrate the news with!

Great news about your scan Zombie. Things are looking quite a lot brighter at the moment for you, I am very happy for you

Ooh thanks for chocolate eggs and gin , I'm not chucking any of my eggs at that magi, she'd eat them !

Hope you've got some nice plans for the w/e Zomb and lots of chocolate and lots of whisky

We're off to France at sparrow's fart tomorrow, so internet will be intermittent for a couple of weeks.

Sante! (must figure out how to do the accent on new machine)
