Anxiety and depression

Hi Finita,

  I certainly hope that everything goes well for you.  It is a worry when we experience pain.  I go to see the Urologist next week to see about my Kidneys.  I will be praying for a good outcome for you.  xxx

Fingers (and toes) crossed.  Hope all goes well x

Hi to all my sisters,

I hope that you are all doing marvellous . As for me , next Tuesday I have an appointment with my surgeon, and I will be telling him about my new pain . It is on my left side between my axilla and scapula. It has been ever so gengtly nagging  discomfort , that I put is down to the saide effect of the Radiation. It hurts now  mainly if I press on it ,or with certain movements. I have checked on google and apparently fracture rib/s are quite common, but I must say that I am not feeling any better for it, at least not until I have x-rays/scans done.

Keep your fingers crossed for me ,

thank you and lots of hugs ladies

thanks Ruth, its good to know I'm not alone x

Thanks Bella.  I have the same problem as you with the weight.  I was really trying to lose it and lost nothing.  I guess I just have to accept it but it would be nice to lose some.  Love, Ruth xxx

Ah Ruth, there is a lot happening with you.  Take care.

Loving the colouring the greys with burgundy...go girl!

Hope all goes well with hubby's surgery.  

Glad the Lovan is working, sort of.  I guess we all adjust to a new "normal".  Funny reading about the weight ups and downs, mine just keeps going up!  I tell my hubby he now has twice the woman he married :)

All good at this end.  Take care xxx

Hi Bella,

I am very happy for you that all went well with your trip and that you are back at work.  All the best with the surgeon regarding your operation, you poor darling. Not to mention your posible bilateral mastectomy .  Take good care and keep us informed.

About my husband, we saw the surgeon and it may be 3-4 weeks before he has his lumpectomy done. Then the lump will be sent to pathology for further investigation.

As for me, I have been doing well, the lovan ( anti-irritabilty medication )  is working, although I am still not used to at being so relaxed, but at least no more  horrible mood  swings , infact, I really don't seem to care too much about anything ... I do like my new uncomplicated life.  But I have been having lots of pains and aches, and that could be Spring messing me up together with the Arimidex  **not complaining , just saying **  also something very strange has happened...I had gained 5 kilos with the arimidex, and in these last weeks I have been going down back to my normal weight...I wonder if it will be only temporary ?  Mind you, I was really getting used to being a little fuller, because my jeans fitted better.  I am usually 55k  and I went to 60k .  It really doesn't matter although the scar on my breast is now uglier because my boobs are not as full ...  hahahahahah!!!        My next appointment with the surgeon will be on the 7th Oct . It is funny how my anxiety level goes up 2-3 weeks prior to see the doctor .                              Anyway, tomorrow will be my beauty treatment day, meaning, that I will be covering my greys with Burgundy hair colour and make myself respectable and will be visiting my mum on Sunday .

take care and all my love

Glad your trip went well, Bella.  My Daughter went to Brisbane on wednesday as she also carries the braca 2 and  the Lynch Syndrome.  Although she is only 37, she is having a hysterectomy in early November as this will reduce the risk of her getting Breast Cancer.  I am category 1 to have a colonoscopy and I saw the anestetist Yesterday.  It is a constant round of appointments lately with physio, urologists etc.  I am feeling good but tire easily.
