I did!! The best possible outcome! I’m so relieved. Now just need this jury to make the right decision too!
Thank you for asking
Delighted for you Amelia.

Bless you
Not sure if this offers much comfort to you, however when members close to me in my family battled different types of cancer they looked more stunning when the inevitable happened; their locks fell out.
They looked even more beautiful than they did before, you are going to look stunning and matched with your upbeat and happy personality, you will glow.
Hopefully this doesn’t come across as too intrusive, and only if you feel comfortable to, please do confide in this thread. We all wish nothing but the very best for you A Mega Pint. Keep strong and do care for yourself. You’ve got this.
Ahhh lotus. Thank you so much, I really appreciate your kind words more than you could know this evening!
I don’t mind being open about it all as I think awareness is fabulous and if it helps 1 person to get their screenings or helps them in any way Im more than delighted to chat away. I just don’t want to merail the thread, bore ye all to tears or bring the vibe down. (Or be taken for a LL narcissist
) Thank you for saying those beautiful things, they brought a tear to my eye.

I don’t think I have the face to be baldylocks!
but I did look up the wig clinic and I’m so sorry to inform you all that I have found some amazing auburn wigs (minus the strands of grey) to adorn my head as I’m determined to keep the ginger stats high on this thread!! My sister said get a long wavy one and you will be fabulous,
I then had the immediate image of it catching in something and I’d be caught out with a look of horror on my face and it would just be my luck that there would be gale force winds and it would blow away!

A ginger family friend lost her hair through chemo and it came back dark brown so don't take this as an opportunity to join the dark side and forget you're a copper top like the rest of us!
Hope all goes well
Daisy, love it thank you!
Hope mini Daisy is doing better by now. Read above post!

I'm in bed, shivering and feeling a bit shitty...little man has just come in with his tablet full blast playing 5 little monkeys and bouncing all over my bed.
In this situation is it appropriate to throw the fucking tablet through the window?
Don’t do it Della, you will have deep regret as tomorrow you may need it to keep him occupied if you still feel tank - my practical head stil firmly attached!
I’m so sorry to feel rotten, I hope that you feel better very soon my lovely friend. You mind you!!

But we know Chegwin will win that one, can’t speak ill of ex-sausages and all

Hope all goes well! You can do it! I recommend cake as a treatment adjunct
Loving that, thank you.
partial to a coffee slice.
@A mega Pint sending you some carrot topped kisses
hope everything runs smoothly xx
Thank you darling!!
So have they increased the school holidays to 6 weeks in summer, or decreased it to 6 weeks? Why do you oppose it? We have children home from the first week of June till the 3rd or 4th week of August in our area. Some states have school all year with a few breaks spread out. The children (and teachers!) love having the whole summer off so much - I know I always did. I realize some children suffer through it when their home lives are lacking, and that is heartbreaking to even think about, but there are programs available for them. There are free lunches and summer schools for low income children in most places that need them.

@A mega Pint, Beannacht Dé oraibh!
I love it - Breannat
Greener than Ceri the Nutball’s hair?
Hope you feel better soon
And hope little baby Daisy recovers soon, it’s awful when they’re poorly and they don’t understand
@Daisydunn15 🩷
@A mega Pint thinking of you lovely, you will smash your treatment
Thank you so much lovely!!
I'm so sorry you've got to go through this. Your attitude is amazing though
Hope you've got lots of support (other than us of course
).
Thank you darling, I have book marked the link you placed I really appreciate that.
loving having all of you guys here, I have a great family but my Mum had a stroke a few years ago and my husband is self employed, my sister lives abroad so it’s all a bit of a mess so I’m very much feeling sorry for myself right now because I’m the kind of person who gets on with things, but tomorrow I’ll be getting stuff sorted and I will rock the shit out of all of this!!
It’s daunting but you will get through it.
I’d advise you to get a good stock of all the over the counter medications you could possibly need (maybe some preemptive stronger co-codomol, or whatever works for you, and something for heartburn from the Doc too) plus moisturisers, lip balm, dry mouth remedies, a soft tooth brush and sensodyne gum health toothpaste. Alcohol free mouth wash.
A tablet and headphones for chemo sessions.
You might get free council gym membership, exercise really helps, even a walk round the block. I’d definitely recommend it.
McMillan are great for financial advice and form filling.
The free wigs are actually pretty good. The last time I wore my fancier one was at a Trixie and Katya concert with obligatory thigh length, high heeled boots. Good times.
Thank you so so much Haveyou, I really really appreciate all the advice you have given me here, there is a lot that I wouldn’t have thought about! Bless your heart!
I’m in ireland so we don’t have some of the actual things you mentioned but I’m lucky to have health insurance so I’m getting very well looked after and they cover my wig! You sound like st absolute bombshell at the Tricia and Katy’s concert,
hope I’ll be half as good!
yep I was well warmed about the exercise but as of yet I have t been able to force myself out the door for that half an hour walk, a lot to do with the weather I think, but I do need to do it. 🫣🫣🫣🫣

So anyway fella gulters, I’ve tried to post my responses to people late so I’m not merailing the thread, no need for anyone to come back to me at all!!
Bella Della asked earlier if there was something ye could do - well I’ve thought of it, it’s a small thing but huge for me. I’m supposed to be doing a half hour walk each day and I can’t be arse cause I hate it but know I need to do it because it creates better outcomes and Haveyouanywool mentioned it as well so here is my idea…..
Can ye be my walk accountability buddies, I’ll post every evening that I’ve done it and ye just have to like it. If I haven’t posted it by late evening ye can pull me up on it …. I won’t like that!
Ye can just like this message if ye agree.
.
There’s a thread booze up due any day when this verdict comes (I hope) so need you all on top form.
