Hello everyone, anxious AK here anticipating surgery and catching up on everyone's news and the chat on the thread. I have been grateful for busy working days and some lovely social events in the evenings to keep me occupied and a bit less neurotic! Monday is looming huge in my mind now. I may need Lesley's gold catsuit. I am currently washing with gorgeous antiseptic pre-lotion as instructed, so I will be clean if I borrow it, honestly.
Bythesea, so sorry you're going through the mill with difficult news about next stages and possible chemo again and then hospital admission. It is the worst of news and I am sending love, thoughts and healing vibes across the border to you.
HF, wonderful to hear your progress and to know that you're doing well post-surgery. You, Carole, Bythesea and all of those who have gone before me are my guiding lights at the moment.
Lesley, you are so right about the stingy effects of the Lush soap in eyes. I lathered up as if I still had hair and then ended up with far too much that dripped into my eyelash-free eyes. Ouch, ouch, ouch.
Anadan, you are a complete star. Amazing work - I know what it takes to do 8 cycles and you have done brilliantly. I am proof that even after 8 tough rounds, you do begin to emerge and feel relatively well/normal. After about 2 weeks, I really began to feel better and it was so uplifting to know I was fighting back from the wretchedness of chemo. Take your time and be proud of yourself.
JC, I am rubbish with dentists (do you see a theme emerging here?), so I am wishing you well for your horrid treatment and hope you are doing okay now.
Have a happy Thursday evening everyone. xx
