I had a Baileys sleep last night
hot flushes but hell worth the better solid sleep.

Better sleep last night for me. Didn't have five hot flushes on an hour and a quarter... Still broken though. I think my upcoming CHEK2 appointment is playing on my mind. Not that I expect anything drastic to come of it, more information really. But nonetheless it's unknown and I'm feeling a bit tense about it.
Was Miss10 pleased wIth the festivities @JJ70?0 -

any appointments play on our subconscious even if we are feeling ok about the appointment.
You know this will give you more information, which will hopefully help you handle your future decisions in a way that will give you long life and maybe peace of mind.
Could there be surprises come out of this appointment?
yes but you know we are here to help you navigate them.
There could even be nice surprises for all we know....
how much longer until your appointment ... Next week ? if I am correct but chemo brain might be wrong here.
Hugs

Hi @JJ70 Things have settled down for me. PN in my hands feet and legs but currently manageable. I get 3-4 hours solid sleep then lots of little naps before morning. The solid sleep, whilst short, is enough to keep me going. I am off ALL pain killers unless you include my glucosamine/msm/chondroitin tablet. Happy to have you back.2

Next Monday @SoldierCrab. Sincerely hope there are no surprises. I'm not expecting any but that's the nature of surprises eh... you don't expect them.2

I've promised myself a new mattress this year which has, weirdly, taken some of the stress out of leaking like a soaker hose all night. I find the idea of sleeping on previously sweat soaked bedding just disgusting, particularly when chemo has been involved. So, when the summer is over I'm buying a new bed and until then I'll just lie there oozing. And no, no waterproof mattress protectors. I have a couple of standard ones which I wash then chuck out and I could not tell you what I've spent on pillows in the last two years but I can't 'do' plastic or rubberised Manchester.1

@Zoffiel, would one of those Kylie mattress protectors (the type used in aged care homes help to keep your new bed new? They have no plastic, are washing machine and tumble dryer safe and absorb 3000ml of liquid. Not sure if you're familiar with them, but they have a padded fabrid mid section with cotton at the sides for tucking in. Google kylie mattress protector and then click on "images" and you can eyeball them. Sounds horrible, I know, but under the bottom (decent) sheet, they can be easily laundered and will save the new bed from getting manky with sweat...and...no plastic or rubber.3

Thanks for asking @JJ70. Well I'm still the black sheep - sleep no less than 10 hours a night - every night. Wake once for a toilet break and water, and as soon as I hit the pillow back to sleep. I wish I could let you guys know why, so you can also have a good sleep. I went through menopause before BC so only very few flushes (not sweats) and I have decided not to take an hormone blockers until I go back to Peter Mac in April. All good here. Had an appointment with a 'survivorship nurse' this morning and am now officially off their books! I put everything in a folder and put it way back in the filing cabinet, never to be seen again. Still will pop in every now and again, its very reassuring to know you are not on your own. J7

@Harvey1903 Survivorship nurse? Never heard of such a thing! Who provides that to you? What a good idea.2

@kmakm I am exhausted by the Miss 10 Bday celebrations. One of Charotte's bestfriends was born on the same day, so we had Char's bday party the weekend before. Livvy then had hers last weekend. Plus we had a brunch for family and the school disco and picnic night...........ugh......can I just sit down please. My feet are like footies - swollen. Physio says I have mild lymphedema and lipedema - oh the fuckin' joy!1
