  • On the roller coaster again

    Posted January 23, 2014 by Kula

    Hardly any sleep last night as well as thinking I felt pain in my breast, shoulder and arm. After being asked to come back an hour later twice I finally saw my specialist. I totally understood that surgery patients have priority and as I said to my doctor, "I know you'll rush to me if I need emergen...

  • On the up

    Posted January 23, 2014 by Diane

    When I woke with the birds this morning I had the strong desire to get up and out.  Haven't felt like this for a couple of weeks - and I've still got my hair.  So on with the shoes, sunnies, hat, step recorder and off I went.  Sounds good but I have to confess I didn't get far before ...

  • Undecided decisions

    Posted January 23, 2014 by Kula

    I feel so exhausted after a night of restless sleep worrying about my specialist appointment. Today I will find out when and what my treatment options are. As I live alone there is the fear of the treatment stopping me from working and also all the preparation I need to do for my replacement at work...

  • Chemo is a .......

    Posted January 22, 2014 by Diane

    OK we're having a heatwave but I've hardly noticed it.  Something to do with chemo.  It's a bitch. Monday 13th I had my first dose of chemo (FEC) and what a horrid first week I've had.  Hadn't even got home when the nausea hit me.  Less than an hour later I saw my lunch for the ...

  • Please Help

    My struggle started 2 1/2 years ago with being diagnosed with breast cancer. I had the full treatment, mastectomy of my right breast, chemo and radiation. All they way through I had managed to stay somewhat positive as I am a glass half full kinda person. Somewhere after, in my 7 months of treatment...

  • Decisions

    Posted January 21, 2014 by Kula

    It has been 3 years since I started treatment for breast cancer in my right breast. I had chemo first to reduce the size of the tumour, then had a lumpectomy which I was told had a clear margin but 1 week later I had to a 'bit more' removed because the margin was not clear.  Three months later...

    So I've been feeling totally crap last week, snotty and coughing with an eye infection that lives me so much it just doesn't wanna go! It felt like a wasted week, it was Friday before I felt like I had any energy. On Saturday morning though I was back to feeling listless and tired. We had booked in...

  • Yuck

    Posted January 15, 2014 by Chris

    So this week I've been on my chemo free week. I'd had visions when I first started this chemo malarkey that the free weeks would see me dancing gayley round the house, catching up on the jobs that have been left and sorting the garden. Well duh that just shows what a dumbass I am! This week has been...

  • no chemo today

    Posted January 10, 2014 by lesley1956

    could someone please wave the magic wand and make Thursday happen all over again but this time without the negative test results and without the side effects that stop me having my chemo. I sort of feel like today robbed me and sent me flying backwards. Ok so there is no magic wand and there wa...
