*sens* mahoosive swollen hands - argh!

Blummin heck love! late get well vibes from me, hope things are under control and you are comfortable x

Absolutely all of this ^^ Hope you are feeling a little better this afternoon x

Ahh you lot are just the best! Flowers all round.

Helenia - is neutrapenic low white blood cells? If so, then yes, I think so. No one is telling me anything! I'm in a little room on my own and loads of people have come round to take my blood and my blood pressure. I've been weighed like 5 times since last night! But I haven't seen anyone to tell me what it foing on. I'm getting a bit grumpy tbh - which can only mean I'm on the mend and returning to my normal grouch-bag self. My consultant is coming up after his clinic so I hope I'll find out more then. He's gorgeous too.

My H was in Germany yesterday, flying back now. It's the first night he has been away since I started my treatment and I can't believe this has happened! Thank goodness I called oncology emergency. Scary.

Thank goodness indeed and silver lining RE the gorgeous consultant

Hope he has some news for you, can you request chocolate?!

^^^ this!

Oh Twiga, just caught up with all this. So glad you called and went into hospital! Hope you're well on the mend now. x

Oh hope you get better and out of hospital soon. Sending big hugs!
Such a good job you went to get checked over. Get well soon vibes!!

Oh Twiga you poor love. I hope you're better this evening.

I did chuckle at you saying you were 2 though ?

Haha Cilla - I was so cross when everyone started laughing that the nurse said "OK I get it you're 2, try to act like you're 28" Wonderful lady, I really want to apologise for her!

Kjay - no chocolate BUT I had jelly and ice cream with my dinner. Never been so happy, haven't had it for years!! I savoured it like it was a fine food (which it most definitely is)

Professor Hottie came to see me but didn't have much to tell me as they are waiting on results etc. He's coming to see me tomorrow again. Get in. I've told H to bring me make-up in the morning hee!

Thanks again otters xx

Sorry to hear about this Twiga. Lots of vibes zooming your way. Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better. Have fun with Professor Hottie!!

Oh twiga sorry you're still in there I hope you get some answers soon. Glad you enjoyed your jelly and ice cream tomo and that you get to see prof. Hottie again tomorrow. Sending more vibes your way for a swift recovery

Lots of vibes for tomorrow Twiga X

Ha twiga love that you're getting your H to bring your make up in!

hope you're feeling better soon anyway mrs

Glad you're finding the silver linings Twiga!! ?

Oh Twigs! I don't know how I missed this yesterday. Massive massive hugs to you - must have all been so scary.

Sending you massive 'get better' vibes. Do you need anything? I am over Clapham/London way late afternoon/this evening so feel free to drop me a PM if you've gone into a hospital round there and need some supplies or whatnot (even if it's just chocolate and one of those standard rubbish gossip magazines that you only read in hospitals! (Everyone can benefit from a good 'My boob ate my face' type story in a takeabreak mag)

xx vibes xx vibes xx

Bless you RK xx

Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better, hopefully Mr Twiga is home soon and in to see you with everything instructed!

Flora - did you actually take a pic of that hot doctor?!

Flora who is THAT?! Mmmm...

Twigs, hope you're a bit better today! So scary - I'm so pleased you were checked out. Poor H - being the one time time he was away!

I never thought it was possible to 'suit' a stethoscope! I don't think he'd be as hot without it.

My son has been in hospital many times due to his asthma, and quite often the other mums and I have often rated the docs on their stethoscope hotness!! It definitely makes a difference ?

Seriously though, hows it going today Twiga? Hope the hubbie got the make-up in on time for doctor hottie ?

Hmmmm I still think he's pretty hot without it! Who is he Flora???

Hello Otters!

RK - you are so kind thank you. And I'm sorry I've only just read your message - I would have loved to meet you!

Well I've been wheeled all around the hospital today, been on quite an epic tour of basements, scanning rooms, costa coffee (by accident - new guy got lost). You name it I've been there! Looks like I'm in for the weekend as I do indeed have an infection and they wont let me go home until it has cleared up.

Saw professor hottie, who shall now be known as professor doom. My chemo thus far has done sweet FA it would seem so feeling a bit gutted to say the least. Also, compared to Flora's guy, he looks like a cabbage. I want THAT doctor.

Apologies for the gloominess - I am looking forward to jelly and ice cream again though!

Reading this thread through has made me giggle and sniffle, you lot are just the best! xxx

Oh Twiga - really sorry about your chemo

i hope you start to feel better soon.

Also - the cabbage thing made me laugh! ?

Twiga sorry to hear about the chemo but I also hope you get betyer soon. Sending hugs your way

Just want to say though I love your positiveness in all of your posts x

Aaaw so many thank you's and love to you all.

However I am ANGRY - no jelly and ice cream, instead a poxy apricot yoghurt. Bullsh*t. Anyone in Denmark Hill with jelly and ice cream??* I've been stoked all day about this... HUMPH.

*just kidding, I don't want to be ruining any friday nights.

Ha Kochanski I like the new nickname Hot Dr Doom! He is going to try me on a different course of chemo, but as a measure to prolong things not to fix things. Oh why can't this silly body of mine just farking work?? This is heavy stuff for a Friday evening - I'm sorry. Eeek. Shall we open a virtual bottle of shiraz?

Oh Twiga, I'm sitting here with my fingers poised over the keyboard and I haven't got the foggiest idea what to write. So I'm just waffling. I'm so so sorry.

If I was nearer I'd be on my way with jelly and ice cream I promise

Otters are always here to hold your hand ok?

I don't know what to write. But I can't write nothing. I am gutted, Twiga. I'm so sorry.

Where in the country are you? Xxxx

Aw twiga this is beyond crap. We love you xx

Oh Twiga... Words have totally escaped me. Xxxxxx

^^^ this. I may not know you quite like some of the others do, but wanted to add my thoughts xxx

Oh Twiga, I'm so sorry to read this. I hope that you're being looked after well and have all the support you need.

I'm not too far away from you, though I'm on call all weekend (sadly not at your hospital or I'd be right there with jelly and ice cream!) - but next week if there's anything you need, just shout.
