Hello adagio,
Thank you for letting us know that you are on holiday in sunny Mexico. I hope you have a great time and enjoy all that sunshine. We do worry about our fine group of friends if we do not hear from them.
Sending fond thoughts from sunless, cloudy,foggy England. November is not a nice month here.
Take care,
Sylvia.

Hi Sylvia and all
Sunny Mexico sounds great. We changed to Daylight Savings Time over the weekend (set clocks back an hour) so now it is dark at 5:00 P.M. gloomy!
I will write more later. My big computer is at repair shop and tapping things out on my tablet takes too long! This morning my schedule won't allow it.
Talk soon, Mary0 -
Hi Sylvia and all
I just came back to say hello to all. After a week of rainy days which gave me lots of pleasure,now we have a beautiful sunny day here. Yet the weather is quite cold more resembling a wintery day than a fall day. The weather forecast has told us we should expect a very cold winter this year.
Let's forget about all the pains, health issues, worries about wondering stem cells and enjoy the day. It may seem hard but possible.
Love you all
Hanieh

Hello Hanieh,
It was nice to hear from you. I was interested to know that the rainy days gave you a lot of pleasure and now you are enjoying the sun. Whenever the forecast is given out here rain is always seen as negative and sun as positive. This is so silly. We need some of each. Lately the weather has delivered too much sunshine and then too much rain. At the moment we are getting nothing but rain and no sun at all. It is raining now and it is going to rain right through until Monday. It is so messy with all the autumn leaves falling. There is still quite a bit of colour in our grounds.
I think you are quite right to say that we have to learn to enjoy the day and stop worrying about what might be, as we cannot control our days.
Of course we do have to remember our own long treatment and be there for those newly diagnosed and going through treatment. It is a long haul but all of us survivors send out the message that we can get through it.
Reading some of the other threads I feel so sorry for those people being newly diagnosed and getting negative comments and information from the medical establishment and the internet. I would tell them to stay off the internet and not take any notice of the doom-sayers regarding TNBC receptor status breast cancer. Keep calm, keep optimistic, just settle down and decide to get through your treatment. That is my message to all newly diagnosed patients. Live the day and get through each stage of your treatment as best you can. Think positive.
I was thinking about you the other day when I bought a book, new in 2015, entitled The 100 Best Novels in English by Robert McCrum as featured in The Observer. It is a subjective choice so we may find authors missing that we think should be there. On the whole, most of my favourite books figure. I am sure you would enjoy it. It makes a nice change from reading about cancer, although I am still reading The Rainbow Diet.
It is such a shame that so few people are posting now. We seem to be a little group of five, Mary, adagio, Amanda, you and I.
That is about all for today.
Thank you for your contribution to the thread.
Fond thoughts.

Hi Sylvia/ everyone
Hope you are all keeping well. I've not been well for the past week I've had a nasty stomach bug
I think with the immune system low after chemo things like this take longer to get over.I had my 3 month check yesterday and the oncologist gave me a good examination. I have had a lot of pain in hip so am having a bone scan on Monday to check things out.ive always been a quiet person but realise now that sometimes you have to be more assertive to get things done. My friend has breast cancer that has gone to her bone ( not tn ) she was just sent to physio they never did a scan. The pain got worse they only then decided to do a scan months later and found the cancer.
I have been off work now for one year so have decided it's now time to go back. I'm doing reduced hours at first then building my hours up. I'm thinking it will take my mind off things.
Hanieh did you say you live in Tehran ? There was something on tv the other day and you crossed my mind. It looks a beautiful very interesting place. I didn't realise it is such a big and busy city.
Sylvia there is a new series of moaning of life. I remember you said you found it funny. Have you seen it yet? I find it hilarious.
Anyway hope everyone else is doing great and if you like fireworks are have a good bonfire night

Hi Sylvia
It s really encouraging that ladies like you who have managed to overcome this disease are here to help the newly diagnosed especially with their fears.
About what you said about rainy days I should tell you that since Iran and especially Tehran is located in one of the dry areas of the earth we do not have much rain.
Yesterday I went shopping for some wintery clothes for my daughter when I started to feel sharp pains in my legs and especially ankles. I don't know whether this can be serious or not. In fact this is what is happening lately to me. My GP said this can be the result of inflammation caused by too much exercise. May be I should have some ex rays done.
Lots of love
Hanieh

Hi Amanda
I live in Tehran and as you said it is quite interesting and beautiful city but too busy. I hope your scan will show nothing serious. Please post here and tell us about the results.
Wish you the best

Hi Sylvia
I hope you are well. I have been meaning to check in but I get distracted. I will do some catching up on the posts.
We have had a fantastic autumn so far. Bar for a few hours, I have not needed the heating on. The gas companies must be very unhappy.
I am hoping to have the paperwork for the charity registration completed this afternoon :-)

Hello, Sylvia, Hanieh and all,
I got my computer back, de-bugged and better than before. Good to have my big keyboard.
As to the drug advertising, turns out that the US and New Zealand are the only industrialized countries that allow drug manufacturers to advertise on TV and in print. And advertise they do, it is a constant stream of drugs that promise all kinds of things, but they also have to include a short litany of possible side effects which are usually enough to make a person think twice, I would suppose. Apparently they have worked, I saw an article the other day stating that almost 60% of Americans take at least 1 prescription drug; with 15% taking 5 or more. I actually thought that would be higher!
I am sorry about your friend, it is indeed sad when we live a life and then cannot seem to be allowed to die a peaceful, dignified death. Also so stressful on the spouse to have to watch; I thought that was what hospice was for, to help one die with dignity. In our area there is no longer a hospice house to move into, but they do come to one's home and supply materials such as beds, wheelchairs etc. And hospice workers come and offer their support and advice.
To my knowledge, we are still able to get good, timely health care and attention to symptoms in this country. We are somewhat in a state of flux because of the legislation passed 3 or so years ago; where we now have some patients who have privatized insurance and some on the government plan, and if one is 65 one is on partial Medicare (government) and the rest a subsidiary plan that has to be paid for. The government takes money out of one's paycheck all your working life to go into this supposed fund for your elderly years. The problem is that they spend that money on other things so now they constantly talk about not enough money being there. The new 3 year-old government plan is running into trouble already because there is not enough money for all the extra people who have been kicked off their private plans because they could no longer afford the rising rates caused by the regulations that came along with the government's big idea. (Gee, what a surprise! (sarcasm) I am afraid we will be going down the same road of long waits and delayed care. And I also do know people who ignore symptoms, some until it is too late. If the GP doesn't pick up on something and tells them it's nothing to worry about, they just accept it and carry on until later when they find out differently. I am thinking of a man I know with prostate cancer, which has now turned out to also be in the bladder. On the other hand, speaking for myself, it gets so old to notice every ache, pain etc. and wonder, is this something new?
I did finally see the surgeon last week about my torn rotator cuff. He said it is almost completely torn through, and I will need surgery to relieve the pain. It is up to me when I have it, as long as I want to put up with it, I guess. I did find out that the pain across my shoulders and probably also up my neck is referred pain from the shoulder, so that alone is reason enough to have the surgery. It is a long recovery, I will probably wait until next year, which isn't far away.
My MRI scan is today, was supposed to be Tuesday but got a phone call that the machine was broken.
I do not yet have the "Truth" Videos and transcripts, I think they wanted to get their orders and then have them made the way it sounded.
I do take supplements, Vitamin D, B Complex, Turmeric, Astralagus, C, Probiotic. Probably some others that are escaping me right now. The bitter apricots, which I find to be very bitter indeed!!
Looks like we get a little sunshine today. We did get some much-needed rain which made the last few gloomy days worthwhile. The grass is green again, it was getting to be very brown!
I will have to go and get ready for my appointment, and later will visit with my brother who is visiting from Texas.
Are your flowers still blooming at the apartment complex?
Talk to you soon!

Hello Amanda, Mary, Michael and Hanieh,
It is so good to have you all back on the thread and to read your interesting posts. I was intending to answer them all this morning, but I got interrupted and have only just been able to get back to the thread. I shall make answering them my first priority tomorrow morning.
To Amanda, I just wanted to say that I hope all will be well on Monday and was wondering if the bone scan you are going to have is a bone nuclide scan, which I think it must be. There is nothing to worry about with this but, if I remember correctly, it is a bit time consuming and you are radioactive for a time. The other bone scan is the bone density scan, known as a DEXA scan, and is used to diagnose osteoporosis.
To Hanieh, do you think the problems you mentioned in your post are related the injections you are having?
To Mary, I do hope you had good news from your MRI scan today.
To Michael, I was so glad to see you back on the thread. You are important to all of us and we care about you.
I shall write more tomorrow and I hope more of our group will come back.
I am really wondering whether all is fine with linali (Lindsay).
Best wishes from sunless, rainy Exmouth. We are all moaning about the awful weather.

Hello Amanda,
I was sorry to read that you have not been feeling well for the past week and I do hope you will be feeling better soon. Have you been taking anything for your nasty stomach bug and have you been to the doctor's? There seems to be a lot of norovirus going around and it causes a lot of sickness and feeling very unwell.
You are right about compromised immune systems after chemotherapy and also radiotherapy, and I tend to think it takes a very long time to get over this. All you can do is eat well, get some relaxing walks, and keep resting as you need and above all avoid stress. You can take astragalus and/or pycnogenol to help strengthen the immune system, but, above all, time is the great healer.
You have been doing a lot of flying over the past few months and there has been a lot of news about polluted air on planes and how it is making people feel quite unwell after their trips.
How did your three-month check up go? I am assuming everything was fine and I hope that all will be well with your bone scan. Let us know how you get on.
It is quite true that we all have to learn to be assertive in life, especially when it comes to our own health and body. The days of patients sitting back passively and accepting everything doctors say has gone. I do not believe in the saying that "Doctors know best". Always stick up for yourself and learn how to be assertive without being aggressive. Politeness and firmness will always pay off. Nastiness rarely gets a good response.
I was very sorry to read that your friend has breast cancer that has gone to the bone. It is a pity that she did not get a scan sooner. I think that when something appears not to be quite right it should be checked.
I am so glad that when I was diagnosed and had had my mammogram, ultrasound, biopsy etc. I was given a CAT scan and a bone nuclide scan because it was discovered that I had high calcium in the blood and this is not normal. Apparently it can be a sign of cancer that has spread to the bone. My oncologist and consultant breast surgeon/endocrinologist pursued this and discovered there was no spread to the bone but that I had an over-active parathyroid gland, which can be very serious without surgery, so that I had that surgery in 2009. If I had not been diagnosed with breast cancer and had those dedicated women looking after me, I would not have known I was walking around with an over-active parathyroid, as this is not tested for in routine blood tests and I had none of the well known symptoms, summed up as "moans, bones and groans".
I do hope your friend will get some good treatment for this although I get the impression that pain coming from the spread of cancer to the bone is difficult to alleviate. I have a neighbour here with prostate cancer that spread to the bone and he has been in a lot of pain. They did radiotherapy to help as well as more chemotherapy.
I do hope you will be fine at work. It is a good idea to do reduced hours and then build up gradually. If I remember correctly, you work in an opticians. Work will help to take your mind off things.
What do you do to relax when you are not working?
I was glad to know you are enjoying The Moaning of Life. I know there is a new series on Sky but I do not have Sky so I am waiting for it to come on Dave. I did find the other series hilarious and I remember talking about it on here with Jackpot (Gill). Anything that can make us laugh is better than any pill. I also enjoyed Not Going Out and Miranda, but they have both finished. I have discovered there are repeats of old funny sitcoms and good general series on Freeview channel 20 (Drama).
Thinking of you. Take care of yourself.

Hello Hanieh,
Thank you for your post and thank you for your kind words. We certainly do need people to stay on the thread after treatment to help others newly diagnosed and let them know that they can get through their treatment. Being diagnosed with cancer of any kind is really frightening. The word has such a negative meaning for everyone. We have to let people know that although the treatment can be long and harsh they can get through it, they can find ways of getting through surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, not to mention scans, blood tests, check ups etc. and come out the other end. If we can all do it so can they.
Please feel free to tell us about Tehran and your life there. It is educational to know about other places. What is the temperature in Tehran at the moment? Here, in the UK, it is unusually mild for November and we are getting all the rain after a very dry October. I have got up very early this morning, dark outside, to catch up on the thread and with other things. There is a gale wind blowing in Exmouth and it is already raining, so I think it is a day to be indoors. It is 16 degrees C already here.
We have just been through Halloween on October 31st, not my favourite day. It is a time for people to get dressed up in Halloween costumes and go out trick or treating. This is something we have adopted from the US.
On November 5th in the UK it is Guy Fawkes night and there are bonfires and fireworks (not something I like either). It is an antiquated celebration remembering the Guy Fawkes plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament and the King. The plot failed. I think this is long overdue to be terminated. On the bonfire they burn an effigy of Guy Fawkes. When I was a child, there were children who used to around with Guys, asking for "a penny for the Guy". Only in this country could we have such things.
On October 30th Raymond and I had our 39th wedding anniversary. We have yet to celebrate it. It is a strange day for us because back in 1995 my older brother, Ken, died and his funeral was on October 30th. He died very quickly from cancer.
I do hope you will find out what is wrong with those sharp pains in your legs and especially your ankles. It is not something that you should ignore. I would think you need to get an x-ray. It could be that you have been doing too much exercise and have strained yourself. Please let us know that you are getting it checked and what the result is.
That is all for now.
Fond thoughts.

Hello Michael,
Thank you for your post and for asking how I am. I seem to be fine but there is always that nagging thought of what is going on inside your body and developments of which you are completely unaware. I suppose that is just life, even ten years on after diagnosis. Most of the time I am fine, but sometimes it would be nice to be able to switch off the brain for a rest!
I hope you manage to catch up on the posts. We did have a session where we were caught up with Ty Bollinger and his series of videos which were most interesting. I managed to watch eight out of nine. Did you manage to see any of them? This was the second series and had gone worldwide seeking information about cancer. The first series was apparently America wide but I did not know about it. If you did see any of it, I am sure we would all be interested to know your thoughts.
Like you, in Northern Ireland, here in England we seem to be having an exceptionally mild autumn. The trees in their autumn colours have been outstanding. I do wonder whether we shall pay for this mild autumn with a very cold winter. Today we have mist, cloud and rain and a very strong wind.
I do hope you will get all your paperwork completed for the charity registration. I know how much it all means to you and the Janette Collins Foundation is such a useful source of information. I do hope it is getting plenty of views. It is such a worthy dedication to Janette and I do urge everyone viewing this thread to view it.
How is life treating you? Are you keeping well? Do you still have check ups? How is your dog? How are your step children?
Please keep in touch. Along with Tom, it is so good to have you two men on board.
Sending you best wishes.

Hello Mary,
Thank you for your most interesting post. I was glad to know that you have your computer working again.
I was interested to know that the US and New Zealand are the only industrialised countries that allow drug manufacturers to advertise on TV and in print. It does not seem quite right. Does that mean you can then buy them over the counter? It is a good thing that they have to list the side effects. I would hope that puts a lot of people off. I do wonder about some of the pills as they seem to do more harm than good, especially when a cocktail of them is being taken. I did read somewhere that a lot of these pills were ineffective.
I think the high number of people being talked into all this medication is unethical. I think it is probably just as bad in the UK as in the US. I know Raymond and I are viewed as unusual because we take no medication whatsoever and intend to keep it that way.
I do agree with you that it is shocking that people suffering are not allowed to die a peaceful, dignified death. I am a great believer in voluntary euthanasia. We treat our pets better than humans here.
Hospiscare is widespread here but they are not funded by the government. We have one in Exeter but none in Exmouth, but we do have an office here and Hospiscare workers who will come to see you in your home during treatment. I had them visiting me during treatment and they were very useful. I used to enjoy my chats with them.
I was interested to read about how your health system works and the changes brought in since the new system was introduced.
I do believe in our National Health System here that was brought in 1948, but I think it is now struggling because of underfunding and overuse. Money ought to be spent on frontline services but I think a lot is wasted on bureaucracy and abuse of the system. In 1948 we had a small population and we did not all the expensive medication, scans, tests etc. I do not know how it will end. There are private insurances and private hospitals but they are very expensive.
As I told Amanda, patients have to be assertive with their doctors and take control of their treatment. If a patient feels there is something wrong going on inside their body, they should not accept one doctor's opinion that there is nothing wrong. You should get second opinions and if all else fails take yourself to A&E. It is better to be safe than sorry.
I do hope all will go well when you have surgery next year. It is quite hard to make such a decision.
When you do get your Truth about Cancer Videos I would be very interested to know what you think of the transcripts.
I was interested in the supplements that you are taking. I am still taking the bitter apricot kernels and really enjoy them. I seem to prefer anything bitter to sweet. I usually add some sour cherries as a base to the organic soy yoghurt with live cultures that I eat on a regular basis. I buy them in a jar made by Biona.
We still have a bit of colour in the grounds in our apartment complex.
Keep in touch.
Fond thoughts.

Hi Sylvia and everyone
Sorry for the delay in replying. Actually I have caught a bad cold that has paralysed me.
The weather in Tehran is fairly cold and cloudy. Right now my cell phone says the temperature is 14 c. As I said before, most people prefer rainy days to sunny days as we are in short of water resources. I hope this fall and winter bring us lots of rain and snow. My daughter was born on a snowy day in January. Actually it was January 18th. She loves snow and whenever there is snow I can hardly keep her at home.
Here in Iran we celebrate different occasions from the first night of winter, which is the longest night of the year called Yalda and in which the families have a get-together eating some summery and wintery fruit and nuts, to the last Tuesday night of the year in which again families, their relatives and friends gather together and build fires to jump over as well as lots of bonfires and fireworks . Also, we have lots of religious ceremonies which are not my favourites at all.
Belated congratulations on your 39th wedding anniversary. It's so great to see couples celebrating the many years of being together. Sorry to hear about your brother's funeral on your wedding anniversary in 1995. May God bless his soul.
Fortunately those sharp pains have disappeared mainly because of having to rest as result of having a cold. But the fact that my body is not as strong as it was before diagnosis and lets me down after some exercises is really disappointing.
Tomorrow I have some guests. Actually I have invited some of my colleagues who are my best friends for lunch and I should get better fast.
Lots of love

Hi Mary
I hope you're feeling better. Why don't you use your cell phone to be on line. This question just occurred to me since most of the times I use either WiFi or data traffic on my cellphone to get connected. When I got married we had a small house so my husband bought me a laptop as a gift to giving birth to our daughter. But last year it was broken dawn by my daughter when she wanted to close it forgetting that her ring was on the keyboard. So the monitor was cracked and the repair man said as its model was too old it wasn't worth repairing. From that time we are using our cellphones and tablets to get connected.
Wish you the best

Hi Sylvia
I had not heard of Ty Bollinger and I have just googled him and the website I looked at got my hackles up. But I shall do more research before I make a judgement. I just did another search, this time adding "quack" which instantly brings up lots or results.
Weather has been very wet the past couple of days. The dog has inherited Janette ' hair dryer. It just like going back to when I was a hairdresser 😀

Hello Hanieh and Michael,
Thank you for your posts. I am very busy this morning but I shall reply later on today. I think there is always going to be a conflict between conventional medicine and complementary and alternative medicine. I do not really know what to think but I do think the emphasis should be on prevention and that there has to be in the future an alternative to surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, or what they call slash and burn! For the moment it keeps us alive but the body is badly compromised. I look forward to some interesting discussions.
There is actually a bit of sunshine here at the moment. I am just about to post sunrise in Exmouth at 6:30 am today, when I was already up preparing for my busy day.
Speak to you later on.
Best wishes
Sylvia

Hi, Hanieh
Thanks, I do use my phone and tablet. With my phone I can get internet anywhere (almost!) and my tablet is wireless but only in my house and other places that have wi-fi. I do use my tablet all the time to send messages etc. But, since my writing on this site is usually quite wordy, I prefer my regular keyboard. I can type much faster than tapping away on the tablet. Sorry about your laptop!
Hope you are better and your cold isn't bothering you anymore. And I know what you mean about not being as strong as before. I used to walk a mile or two a day every day, was on my feet all the time until evening. Now I just can't do it, I am trying to build up to something better, have a ways to go. Sometimes now when I walk I get a big pins-and-needles feeling all up and down my legs to my feet; guess it's part of the neuropathy. I guess the drugs took a big toll on my body, and then the sedentary lifestyle I had for quite a while because of the overwhelming fatigue added to it. Not to mention dealing with the emotional stuff because of losing my husband.
I am so glad you are on this thread, gives us a little window into your world.
Talk soon, Mary

Hello Hanieh,
I was sorry to read that you have a bad cold and I do hope you will soon be better.
I was interested to know that your daughter's birthday is on January 18th. Raymond's birthday is January 4th. Under the sign of the zodiac that makes them both Capricorns. I do not really believe in these signs but they are a bit of fun and sometimes it is interesting to read the characteristics of persons born under these signs. If your daughter loves snow she would love Canada in the winter.
I was also interested to know about Yalda. It sounds like a nice family celebration. Your last Tuesday night of the year sounds very much like our New Year's Eve celebrations on December 31st. We are supposed to ring out the old and ring in the new. There are lots of parties and celebrations, both inside the home and out. Thousands of people get together in the big cities to count the New Year in and there are big firework displays.
There are lots of religious ceremonies here too. We are just about forty-five days from the big celebration of Christmas. This is a big family celebration but is really a religious one for Christians.
As for wedding anniversaries, we have different names for them. The big one is the golden wedding anniversary for 50 years of marriage. Next year it will be 40 years for Raymond and me, and is known as the Ruby Anniversary.
I still have very sad feelings about my brother who died of cancer so quickly in 1995. Like me, he taught French here in England but spent two years in Africa, Uganda, teaching I think French and perhaps English as a second language. He was also very good at art and cooking and I think he would have made a great chef.
I was really glad to know that your sharp pains have disappeared and so it could be that they were caused by having too much exercise. Remember you have only recently finished your treatment.
I do hope you had a good time yesterday with your colleagues. Your photographs are really lovely.
Fond thoughts.

Hello Michael,
I was in the middle of posting to Hanieh when one of my younger brothers phoned and was talking for a long time, so I am going to have to post more to you tomorrow.
I did want to say that Ty Bollinger is not a doctor or practitioner or any thing medical. He just started researching cancer etc. after losing his parents and other family members to cancer. He has put together doctors etc. whom he has met and they are putting forward various ideas and treatments that seem to have worked on patients. It does not mean they work for everybody, but then nor does conventional treatment. I think it is all very complex. When conventional treatment fails and you are told to go home to die, you might as well try anything else on offer. Patients on the videos did this and many are still alive. When this happens conventional treatment talks about "spontaneous remission".
Are you still following the political scene here in England? I do feel sorry for Jeremy Corbyn and the way he is constantly under attack. Today he is being attacked because he did not bow his head sufficiently at the Remembrance Day ceremony. I knew our atrocious media would have to find something. Unlike the other big-wigs Jeremy did have the common decency to walk and talk among the veterans.
I must go now but will talk again tomorrow.
Sending you best wishes.
Sylvia

Hello everyone,
I was just wondering if anybody viewing this thread is going through chemotherapy treatment that includes adding an extra chemotherapy drug with their regimen. This is carboplatin. If so how are you faring on it?

Hello Michael,
It has been another busy day for me here in Exmouth, but it is now 3:10pm and I have at last finished all I had to do.
I was wondering how you are keeping health-wise these days. You rarely mention anything.
Have you had any recent news about anything to do with breast cancer in particular but also cancer in general. I remember that you often tune in to useful interviews etc. on the radio.
Have you been back to Essex lately? I was listening to a programme during which Stratford International station was mentioned and had to laugh because no international trains are going there. I know that Stratford has been built up and gentrified and that the station is very big. It has also been put on the map because of the huge Westfield Mall that was built there.
Another programme I watched was about the huge enterprise known as Crossrail with all those new underground stations, shops etc. It is due to be opened in 2016.
It is sad that ordinary people are being pushed out of London because of high rents and that there is more deprivation in counties surrounding London than in London.
That is about all for today. I hope you have managed to catch up with the posts.
Take care.
Fond thoughts.
Sylvia.
