I can’t remember it’s proper full name (my gf does) because chemo brain be real but it’s the one nicknamed the Red Devil

Yeah it’s also if it’s available for my trust we do play a post code lottery with the NHS unfortunately but I’m sure they will figure something out but I’ll be pushing not to go back to EC because that’s had me really rough and I’ve lost a lot of stamina.
November 26, 2024 at 10:56 PM
Thank you it should do I haven’t met this oncologist yet as I had the locum covering him but been told he’s really good so we shall see on the 10th
November 26, 2024 at 10:52 PM
I don’t know until I see my oncologist on the 10th I have other health conditions they have to take into consideration with what chemo they use.

I was diagnosed at 33 but it was only a month before my birthday lol had my masectomy 3 days before my birthday. Honestly I couldn't have done a lumpectomy I needed the traitor tit off my body and I didn't go for reconstruction and thinking of not and just staying part of the single titty committee
November 18, 2024 at 10:46 PM
Oh the most dramatic but at least it's throwing its hissy fit now. (Thank you for this loving the dark humor)
November 18, 2024 at 10:43 PM
Yeah single masectomy and went back for auxilla clearance as it had spread fo my lymphnodes. They want me to do all the things to reduce my recurrence risk becuase of my age mainly becuase I'm 34 so my teams wanting to throw rhe book at me in hopes of never seeing me for breast cancer again
November 18, 2024 at 10:38 PM
I'm negative I'm just estrogen and progesterone receptive so will be going on tamoxifen once I finish chemo. My team won't say I'm cancer free yet but they have said I'm essentially mass free now and chemo and radio is to make sure we got all the cells
November 18, 2024 at 10:30 PM
Yeah im at my partners across the boarder tonight and its snowing here but hasn't stuck as much as at home.
November 18, 2024 at 10:26 PM
I'm brca negative so don't know if I belong on that list as it's not a factor with my breast cancer
November 18, 2024 at 10:24 PM
Thank you I'm changing chemos on this next round I've done 3 rounds of EC and going onto paclotaxel (however you spell it) next
November 18, 2024 at 12:32 PM
Yeah it is. Thank you I've about 10 weeks until the end of chemo so radio is a little while off and they may have to give me abit of time with my physio where I don't feel rough so I can get my arm higher but haven't met that team yet
November 18, 2024 at 11:11 AM
Yeah issy the spaniel has done the same a few times to us, she's not with us anymore bless her. My lad however can't stand water so I'm in no danger there. Oh you really aren't far across the boarder from me.
November 18, 2024 at 12:04 AM
Yeah left arm from surgery for me so trying to do physio becuase I've radiotherapy after chemo and need to get my arms above my head and left arm says hell no 🤣. Yeah my scars giving me pain at the moment which is weird becuase it's also numb
November 18, 2024 at 12:03 AM
We had a spaniel cross who loved to swim she only got chance once to jump in the canal, we kept her on lead after that becuase it was abit scary the streatch we walk down is busy becuase of the aqueduct
November 17, 2024 at 11:44 PM
So nice to meet you ! I'll be honest I haven't done much knitting since my 2nd surgery and now I've a picc line to so I haven't a decent arm between myself 🤣🤣🤣🤣
November 17, 2024 at 11:43 PM
I had a single masectomy in May didn't have reconstruction but have the muscle needed if I decide to in the future but honestly loving being flat and won't be going for reconstruction
November 17, 2024 at 10:30 PM
Same with breast cancer, my breast clinic are seeing far more people in their early 30s now then ever before and we are to young for regular screening in the UK so if your the possessor of a chest check your chest
