The teachers I work with treated me to afternoon tea yesterday. They’re very good to me at work.
A few of us went to a gin bar afterwards. Took my mind off another possible recurrence.
I’m on the left , second from the back. In my wig.
Hope all you ladies are ok xxxxx
Dear Suzanne,
Wow! You look fabulous.
Wonderful to have good friends.
Best wishes,
Laura
Aww thank you. Was really nice. Xx
What a great picture. You look really good!!!
Thank you. It was really nice to go out. Xx
What a wonderful afternoon, and how nice to have something to take your mind off things. You are lucky to have such great colleagues looking out for you.

Hi Vicki. Yes they’re brilliant. They look after me. It was a great afternoon. Xxx
Very pretty group of friends! Wonderful they care for and love you.❤
Thank you. They’re brilliant.
Hope you are ok xxx
on carbo/caelyx for first reoccurrence. Very tired and achey. Otherwise OK.❤
Aww. A friend of mine had that combination for second line. She said the same. Tired and achey. She did well on it though. It worked well. Make sure you rest. Xxxxx
since carbo/caelyx once monthly, not as bad as dose dense weekly first line, but knocks me out just the same. Also causes serious burning in entire digestive tract. Doc says it's working! CA 125 not climbing/stable and he expects it to plunge after 3-4 infusion. Be well yourself, dear girl!
I used to work at a school before my special person was diagnosed, been there about a month and baby number 4 started cooking they were absolutely fantastic 💕💕 told them when I was about 12 weeks when I went on maternity leave they done me a big basket of baby stuff. I also turned 30 whilst working there and had another big load of presents even when I left that job I got loads of stuff I was only a dinner lady! Then started working at McDonald’s as they offered me same hours and more money well I’m still there nearly 2 years later. But I’ll always be grateful for the school and how supportive they are I still meet up with them and go out for drinks even now xxx
Aww that’s lovely. They sound really kind. Xxxx
They are can’t say much about the headmistress unfortunately but we can’t all win 💕💕💕
You all look so happy, and the tea looks wonderful! I work in a Nursery and my colleagues are great too! Is it a school thing?!?
I think it must be. I love going to work. We all get in so well xxx
Suzanne you look absolutely fabulous, what a lovely group of friends you have, nice to do something to feel normal ....... Lol
Loren x
Thank you Loren. It was a great afternoon. Xxx hugs.
You looked lovely! Xxx
Hi Luchie. Thank you. How are you? I saw Sasha on Thursday. Had blood test. He felt fluid in my tummy. Got to have a scan.
I hope you are doing ok. Hugs xxx
Looking lovely Suzanne! Now, I’m fond of a bit of gin, but have been celebrating my friend’s 68th birthday today with a quantity of champagne 🥂! Well, you’re only young once!!
Hurrah for good friends! Ali x
Mmmm champagne. I could drink lots of that. I hope your friend had a great (tipsy) birthday. Hope you’re doing ok. Hugs xxx
Hi Suzanne, It is a lovely photo and great to have such friends..take care Lorraine xx
Thank you lorraine. They are great friends to me. I hope you are ok. Xxx
Hi Suzanne. thank you I'm doing ok started my Carbo/ Caelyx againe, no side effect yet.. hope you are handling Caelyx..xx💙💙
Thumbs up, Suzanne.. looks like you had a great time. And best of luck on the recurrence front. It's not right that the disease tends to smother so much of our life...don't let it grab too much. In fact, more afternoon teas might be just the right thing :).
Xx. Maus
Aww thank you Maus. Yes bloody horrible disease. I’m hoping it’s not a recurrence so soon but I’ve a feeling it is. I think you’re right, more afternoon teas (with prosecco ) are definitely needed.
I hope you are doing ok.
Big hugs xxxx
Complaining/whinging about minor side effects so definitely doing all right, thanks Suzanne. Xx. Maus
Looks lovely. You look lovely too. I’m not a gin fan but am jealous of an alcohol splurge lol.
Good to see it’s being kind to you
Much love
LA xx
Hi Lily. I’m not that keen on gin but it was quite nice the one we had. Then I had vodka.
How are you? Hugsxxxx
You look great. It is funny because I just donated my wigs to the cancer council. If mine had made me look as fabulous as you I might have kept it. X
You look lovely. Supportive friends are priceless . ♥️
Oh Suzanne---what a lovely group! And you look great. It's the best when you have friends like this and to work with such a group is double the pleasure. Thank you for sharing. May they continue to keep your mind off of your worries. oxox
Great pic, you all look very cheerful. Hope you had a grand time at the gin bar!
How lovely for you Suzanne, friends are what keep us going and making sure we don’t let this damned disease take over our lives. Keep the prosecco flowing!
Love, Madeline xx
Hi Madeline.
Thank you. Yes I won’t let this disease take over. It can do one.
I hope you are ok xxxx
I’m ok, struggling a bit as my leg problem is still there and though a clot has been ruled out, the likelihood is it’s lymphodoema which is a blow. Off to see a specialist nurse tmw to see if massage will help. Nearly finished 4th cycle of taxol/Gem then I get another week off for good behaviour (?!) Xxx
Aww I’m sorry about your leg problem. I hope they can sort it out for you.
I hope your chemo is going well. Thinking of you. Hugs. Xxxx
Good for you 😁 you look beautiful xx lots of live Maxine x
Thank you Maxine. It was funxxx
What a lovely treat, your colleagues sound very supportive. Doing these nice little things makes such a difference. Really hope you haven’t had a recurrence. Are you waiting for results? Jo xx
Hi jo.
Yes waiting for blood results. Got to have a scan too. I’m hoping it’s not a recurrence but I’ve a feeling it is.
I hope you are doing ok. Xxx
So lovely how friends help you through difficult times and take your mind off things.my group of 5 friends organized a day out in London as two of us had moved from kent.Keeping fingers crossed for you.Take care.xx
You look beautiful, sounds like you had a wonderful day.❤❤❤Liz
Great pic Suzanne and looking rather stunning in your wig. Without friends I don’t honestly know where I’d be, if anywhere at all. So glad you enjoyed this. Take care and I’m sure many have said this but a recurrence is doable. I have found things not as bad as I feared, even though things have been really rough at times I have got through, very much with the help and support of my friends.
Xx Netti xx
Hi Netti.
Thank you. Yes it’s brilliant to have great friends.
I’ve had one recurrence and I know I’ll manage another. I’d just feel disappointed that it happened so quickly it’d be nice to have a year with no treatment.
At the moment I’ve got raging toothache and this is so painful that it’s bothering me more than the thought of cancer . I guess it’s taking my mind off the C word.
Sending you hugs xxxx
That reminds me of a Polish joke where a man is asked why he keeps hitting his head with a hammer and says “to take my mind off the toothache”. I know, still.....
Take care and hugs to you too xxx Netti
Suzanne glad to hear you had a wonderful day with your colleagues, it’s good to have your mind somewhere else other than recurrence, I feel the last 3 months waiting on results has been the worse.

Tea with Ovacome
Anyone tried Essiac Tea?
Question for any teachers out there.
Back to my oncologist this afternoon to hear the result of my scan - anyone on weekly taxol?
