I'd just like to say how much I enjoyed our meeting tonight amd I'm really looking forward to the next one.
Carole, Erin, it was great to finally meet you and put a face to the names.
Barbara, still can't get over meeting you again after all these years!! What a small world! Wait I tell my mum, she will be so chuffed. Thanks again to Geoff for dropping me off. It was really appreciated.
Shelagh, we got your message. Sorry to hear that you're not feeling too good. Please let us know how you're doing when you can.
Patsy, are you ok? Are you feeling rough after your chemo last week? We were expecting to see you tonight and were a bit concerned when you didn't show. Please let us know how you are asap.
Glad you got my message. I just escaped hospital today after 4 nights in. Was feeling rough Tue/Wed and went for a blood test ... then was not allowed home as my neutrophils were 0.10. Have had intravenous antibiotics and 4 neutropen injections to promote white blood cells and thankfully neutrophils started to recover yesterday. Gonna stay in bed for a few days to make sure the infection, whatever/whereever it is, is well and truly beaten.
Seems you had a lovely time. Hopefully I will make the next one.
I had to miss my chemo on Tue as I woke up with a raging fever again. Thankfully my bloods were healthy so have been sent home with anitbiotics and chemo postponed till next Tue. Feeling much worse than if I had had CMF!! How are you all?
Hi to everyone sorry i cudint make the last meet up i have been reall y poorley with viral infection and the flu my chemo has been postponed til nxt friday was takin in hospital last nit with a temp of 39.3 they wanted admit me last nite but my little girl is also poorley and she will only have me hope all is well with u all and hopefully i will be there and the next meet up hugs to everyone patsy xxxx
Hi Patsy, Hope you're feeling better soon. I've been polaxed in bed with high fever since Tue - it's scary isn't it! The antibiotics have worked today though and at last I feel 'like me' again for the first time in ages. I'm really wary about going anywhere now though - defo going to do christmas shopping online! Hope your daughter is feeling ok. It must be really hard going through chemo with little children :-(
hI to everyone well things went really bad for me on friday afternoon blood presure really low temp very high 39.9 was really poorley if thet hadint taken me in on friday afternoon and i would have left another day they told me i would of ended up in intensive care really scary been on a drip since friday and the=y let me home this afternoon will update more later love to everyone xxx
I've started my radiotherapy today and generally starting to feel on the mend... still tired but much more like the normal me!
Patsy sorry to hear that you've been so poorly... hopefully you'll be on the mend now you've been sent home... how much longer do you have left with your chemo?
I hope everyone is doing well and look forward to seeing you all soon... I might even have some hair by then! :)
Shelagh and Patsy Sorry to hear that you are having a rough time hope that you will both be feeling better soon. Have either of you heard of LifeMel honey? It's very expensive but is brilliant for helping with the white cells whilst on chemo. Carole (florrie) Hope you had a good holiday and the sun has done you good. I certainly feel better for the dose of sunshine. Erin - good luck with the rads Carole How was Tunisia? Saw Dr Brunt yesterday for scan results. He is querying the scan results as they don't seem to correspond with the blood test results but I don't see him again until after the next scan which will be in January and then he will know whether or not the hormonals are working. If not it's back to the chemo
Next date for meet up is Thursday 27th Nov. If you want a lift Carole just let me know. Shall we go back to the Vic?
Returned from Tenerife end of last week after a fab holiday which did me the world of good. However, I have now got a cold and can hardly speak (my hubby's quite pleased!). Must be the change in climate but I think it's a small price to pay for the sunshine.
Shelagh, Patsy, Really sorry to hear that you have been so poorly. Are you feeling better now? It would be nice if you could both join us next week when we all meet up again. Let us know if you feel up to it.
Erin, Hope your rads are going ok. I went to see Dr. Brunt this morning and am due to start mine on 1st December
Carole, hope your holiday went as well as mine! Are you ok with next Thursday?
Barb, Glad you enjoyed your break in the sunshine. My Mum was gobsmacked when I told her I'd seen you. She sends her best wishes to both you & Geoff and asked after your girls who she remembers babysitting for many years ago. I'm quite happy to go back to the Vic if thats ok with everyone else. Hopefully, my cold will have gone by then. Should be ok getting there but a lift back would be really appreciated if possible. Are we eating again like last time?
Hi everyone, Great to hear lots of hols going on ... I can't wait till next Feb when I should be able to go away again. I thought I was feeling OK but Dr B wouldn't let me have chemo again this Tue as my bloods are very low again. He thinks I have a virus. Like you Patsy I was threatened with the danger of septacaemia or pnemonia and defo more time in hospital .... so am gonna stay in and do nothing till next Tue at least. Hope you've escaped hospital now Patsy. Will look into honey you mentioned Barbara . thanks. S x
Hope everyone is well... I can't make Thursday it's my boyfriend's Dad's birthday and we've been invited out to dinner so I'll be sorry to miss you all but I'll hopefully be able to make the next one.
For those of us who can make it on Thursday, shall we say between 6.45 and 7.00 at the Vic. Sorry you can't make it Erin perhaps we can meet up with you early in the New Year
Sorry I wont be able to make Thursday, I have a viral infection in my eyes and apart from having difficulties seeing I'm very concious of all the girls still having treatment. Keep me informed how it goes and hopefully will see you in the New Year.
Sorry you wont be able to make it on thursday Carole. hope you will be feeling better soon. Have a lovely Xmas. Seems like it's only me and you Carol, what do you want to do? We can always leave it til after christmas when maybe more ladies are able to join us. let me know. ( I seem to have misplaced your mobile number - chemo brain again!!!!!!!!)
Hi ladies, Sorry I won't be able to make it to the gathering again. I've had yet more gruelling days this week. It seems my Hickman line is probably the cause of the high temps I keep getting as they seem to happen after redressing and flushing. This week I developed a temp of 38.8 fours hours after, along with constant shaking and white, numb fingers - a bit scary. I was allowed to have chemo on Tuesday though, but back via a cannula, as the Hickman line has got to go! Hope you have fun tonight, and hopefully I will be able to meet some of you in the new year. Take care, S x
Just posting to say that because of illnesses we have decided to cancel tonights get together and will re arrange for sometime in the new year. Sorry to hear you are having a rough time Shelagh and hope that you will feel better soon and the chemo won't spoil your christmas too much
Hope you are all feeling well enough to enjoy a Happy Christmas. I've recovered from my dose of CMF on 16th, but am feeling fluey and achey from neupogen injections this week. My girls are home now though, so no cooking for me! Best wishes and hope to meet you in the new year.
