that wasn’t so bad 8-). My vein still hurts from the cannula but I’m guessing
from the state of my veins I’m going to end up getting a line fitted eventually
anyway. Just wish they’d do it sooner than later before my vein gives out. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I used
the anti-nausea meds for the dew days I had them prescribed for and then a few
that they gave me to take as and when for another few days. Had to go back to get
some antacids as my gut was so burny!!!! I also had to get some special mouth
wash as I got a couple of mouth ulcers as well. I tried to nap as much as possible,
but that’s not so easy when you have one near teenage boy and another one about
to hit 18 who inhales the contents of the fried when he opens the door. So I’ve
been relying on ready meals and frozen pizza delivered by Ocado. Both of them
know how to nuke a meal and cook a pizza. I’ve been relying on that old
standby: toast!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have been eating heaps
of fruit and drinking juices as well though, but sometimes hot toast is the
only thing that works. Helped with morning sickness back in the day and it
helps now as well </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Onto
more blog-ey stuff and I’ve had a few freebies this week. First one from Viktor
& Rolf :<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I signed up to the Secret Service
here <a href="http://www.secretservice.viktor-rolf.com/#/gb_GB/introh">http://www.secretservice.viktor-rolf.com/#/gb_GB/introh</a>
a code from the bottle of Flowerbomb that Col got me for Xmas and they sent me
some shower gel and body lotion samples. It’s so lovely and smells gorgeous.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Next up
needed a little expenditure and effort, The Sunday Telegraph(£2.00) had a coupon
to fill in and then I collected this 30ml (£25) tube of Elemental Herbology
from Space NK. I also had a fiver left on my loyalty card so I invested it in the
Lipstick Queen Sinner Hot Rose (£18). My favourite brand ever as it is so
moisturising and long lasting. I now have about 10 of these in different
shades. I’ll have to do a blog on my LQ collection soon? They also threw in
some sachets of cleansers when asked. I love SpaceNK, although I have heard
some from bloggers that they can be a bit snotty at times. Maybe they’re just
really nice at the Leamington Spa branch though? Col would say that’s because I
send money there (cynical?) but they’re nice even when I’m just browsing and
swatching.</span><br />

I got my Birchbox for February today and it is great! I managed to avoid all
spoilers this month and I was really happily surprised when it arrived as it seems
I finally have a good box. </span></div>

Glossybox who have insisted on sending me stupid free perfume samples ever
month after month after month(maybe I exaggerate but I hate perfume samples
when I can go out and ask for them myself)</span><br />

and it’s not fun. I have really crappy veins apparently but luckily the Sister
managed to get a line in straight away (but it hurt like buggery). I’m going to
get some emla cream from Boots tomorrow!!! They use a weird machine to
administer the drugs now – a sort of infusing drip and it kept playing up so I
was only supposed to be there for few hours which was just over 3 in the end so
I didn’t get home until after 7pm. Basically the Epirubicin has to go in at a
really low pressure but the dressing was too tight on my cannula so it wasn’t
going in and the machine kept shutting down. Eventually it started to work and
then there was another 15 m</span>inutes to flush it through and then the other 2
drugs had to be administered. In between there was a hilarious loo incident as
I was busting after several cups of tea but I couldn’t pull down my leggings with
one hand so Col had to come in with me to assist me!!! Major embarrassment.
Even after 10 years he’s never seen me on the loo!!! That’s not <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ever</b> changing so I booted him out and
struggled to get myself sorted one handed! There are some losses of intimacy
that I’m not giving up and the toilet is sacrosanct!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I also have to have the
district nurse come in to give me a bone marrow boosting injection every day
for 7 days. I’d never heard about that previously! More research has now scared
me off google forever, but apparently I’m going to have bone crushing agony:
Yeay!!! More fun :)</span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"></span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"></span></div>

anti-nausea meds and also one of the optional extra ones as I’m starting to
feel a little ick. Also drinking heaps of water so I don’t get irritated into
going to the loo more than I already do. But then I figured if I’m drinking
loads of water I’m going to go more anyway, so how will I know?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">My vein is pretty sore so I’ve
been using Just4Mums Nipple cream on it. The chemo nurses said not to use
Arnica cream on it until approved by my oncologist and this stuff is just coconut
oil, aloe vera and allantoin. I’m pretty sure if it’s safe for babies, then it’s
probably safe for bruising. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My mum got
this for me so I’m not sure where to buy it from yet, but if it works, then I’ll
invest in more. I’m also stretching my hand to keep the vein flexible as some
of the Macmillan forumites report the vein going hard and itchy(eep).</span></div>

see my oncologist to discuss treatment. 23<sup>rd</sup> Jan is the decision day
and hopefully I can start to move forward again. It seems like I’ve been left
in Limbo since the surgeon signed me off. The pain is now manageable, meaning
that I only really take painkillers at bedtime. I’m still not sleeping though
and my sleep pattern is well and truly fudged. I’m pacing at 4am and then
dozing off at 7pm. I’ve tried staying away until normal bedtime to get myself
back on track but I can’t help it; one minute I’m watching Big Bang Theory, the
next; I’m staring blearily at Big Brother. Ah well.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I had a lovely day today though. I booked myself into the
chiropodist that I’ve been using for the last few years. It’s called Footworks
and you can read more about them <a href="http://www.footworkschiropody.co.uk/" target="_blank">here</a>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know it seems to be odd to going to a chiropodist
so young but my feet really do take a beating, seeing as I don’t drive. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love the babysoft feeling when I come out
and my nails are all trimmed neatly with no bits starting to grow in.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Before that though, I had a wonderful few hours browsing
through the Bullring. Believe it or not, all I came home with was this: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-u0GYtXsnF34/UPC59LkGTvI/AAAAAAAAAvM/Owk0iiaJahs/s1600/IMG_0001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="208" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-u0GYtXsnF34/UPC59LkGTvI/AAAAAAAAAvM/Owk0iiaJahs/s320/IMG_0001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">2 packs
of Muji cotton pads, a pair of Muji Tweezers and a HUGE sample of Tom Ford Noir
de Noir. I also have stacks of little sprayed on cards but they’re scattered
through my undie drawers now. I’m actually sticking quite well to this no spend
malarkey. I hadn’t seen the Tom Ford counter at Selfridge's before and it is
amazing. It is so expensive and chic but the SA there was really friendly. The perfumes
are out of my price range at the moment (being as I can’t do overtime)with
prices starting at £135 for 50ml up to <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>£300 for 250ml. You can see them <a href="http://www.selfridges.com/en/Beauty/Categories/Shop-Fragrance/?fcts=Brand+Name~TOM+FORD&ic=19438&llc=sn&mrf=Brand+Name&template=3Across." target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The sample is in the picture above.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> It’s
about 5-10mls; so probably £20 worth!!! And it is so yummy; it’s like being
enveloped in a rose tinted hug of milk chocolatey goodness and it really
lingers for an absolute age.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> I also tried the <a href="http://www.blogger.com/">Jo Malone Velvet Rose and Oud
Intense,
</a>which is £95 for 100ml, but the SA was a bit pushy so I wandered of pretty
sharpish. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Again this is rose scent (d’uh) but this also has a vague nutty feel
to it with some spice wandering around. I have no idea what oud wood is though –
One for the books?</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This is Mischievous and I did a little nail
art, zebra thing using a MUA eyeliner and then topping off with Seche Vite. Really easy to do; just a little press and flick of the eyeliner wand.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xdVP0pxQGxY/UOS6Bj1IccI/AAAAAAAAAtY/Jxhs7Gz_35w/s1600/Rococo+EMpowered.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xdVP0pxQGxY/UOS6Bj1IccI/AAAAAAAAAtY/Jxhs7Gz_35w/s320/Rococo+EMpowered.jpg" width="187" /></a></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is Rococo EmpoweRed that cost me £2.50 in the Space NK Sale<a href="http://uk.spacenk.com/WOMEN/SPUK101,en_GB,sc.html" target="_blank"> here</a></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">These are normally £12 each so a nice little bargain. And then I just couldn't leave it alone so added some little black rhinestones across the accent nails. They're not that great, but I've left them as they took flipping ages to apply one at a time!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This actually looked great after 2 coats, but after an hour, I noticed nail wear across the top!!!So I added another coat and then wrapped the tips properly and also wrapped the Seche Vite as well. It's now lasted much better. This is nearly the perfect red but I don't think I'll ever find it! There'll always be something red-der out there.</span></span><br />

Unfortunatel</span><span id="btAsinTitle">y I haven't learned enough of the lingo to be able to describe them properly but apparently my favourite; the Hilde Soliano is; 'Damascus, Bulgarian and English rose, chocolate, grass, vanilla and woods'. I can smell the roses, the chocolate and the vanilla but the grass and wood is beyond my nose at the minute</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="btAsinTitle">My NY resolution is to try a new perfume every week and try and cut back on the other spending; i.e. make-up, face and body stuff, as I have heaps and heaps of it, no handbags or shoes this year as I definitely have plenty of them as well!!! My thinking is that I've stopped smoking so that's saved me a few bob(couple of grand a year at least!) if I only buy make-up if I absolutely need it(if I run out of samples and testers) and use up all my little odds and sods around the house then I can afford a decent break with Col later this year (I can hear a cruise calling my name), once I've finished my BC treatment and before I return to work. Note I said 'try' perfumes, not necessarily buying them ;). I do want a Serge Lutens perfume for my birthday though - either the vanilla or rose as they are absolutely divine and hang around on me for ages.</span></span></span></div>

<br />
It being just past Christmas, I couldn't let the sales pass unnoticed. I popped into M&S and picked up 2 gorgeous scarves. The pale one was reduced to £15 from £40 and the darker skull print was down to £12 from £27. And they are huge! At least a metre square. <br />
<br />
I also paid a visit to SpaceNk but they only had a few bits left, after only 2 days!!! I picked up the Stila Seeing Star Smudgestick set from £25 to £12.50, which is a bargain as these are £13 EACH normally so £65 worth here :)<br />
<br />
I also picked up the absolutely wonderful & splendiferous Dancing Queen set of lippies by Lipstick Queen. (More about the brand here. <a href="http://www.lipstickqueen.com/">http://www.lipstickqueen.com/</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969);"> ). I paid £19.50 which is a lot if you're used to Rimmel or Boots 17, but LQ retails for £15-20 a lippie normally and it really is the queen of lipsticks! They stay on for aaaages and go on so smoothly with no drying, unlike my beloved Mac Russian Red which flakes off :(</span><br />
<br />
Oh, and SpaceNK being the wonderful shop it is, also threw in loads of sample sachets of Skincare :D<br />
<br />
So I'm a happy bunny. Didn't spend too much and I will use everything I bought. <br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Consultant check-up today and I’m still really none the
wiser as to what my treatment is going to be next year. It looks very likely
that I’ll have to have about 2 weeks’ worth of radiotherapy and maybe chemo as
well but I have to wait until mid-January for a consult with the oncologist to
go through the options. I do sort of want the chemo (bleurgh) just to make sure
that they get it all so I don’t have to go through all this again!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I did get the pathology report though and it was
interesting. I was somewhat relieved to find out that the surgery was worth it
as I’d have been a wee bit peeved to find that I didn’t need the radical mastectomy.
It turns out that I didn’t have one tumour, but THREE!!! They were
Multi-centric, which means that they were in different quarters of the breast
with one big 22 mm one and 2 little 10mm ones. Two of them were Ductal Carcinoma
in Situ which is non-invasive, but one of them was an Invasive Lobular
Carcinoma, which is rarer and it’s that one that will determine my treatment
next year as it’s more aggressive. They were all classed as Grade 2 and at
Stage 2. The cancer was completely removed with clear margins so the
radiotherapy will be to clear up any odd cells that escaped into the skin or
surrounding areas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They only had to
remove 2 lymph nodes which were completely clear of any cancer which is a huge
relief as it means it’s less likely to spread throughout my body. The cancer was
also positive for the hormone receptor which means I can have hormone therapy
to reduce my oestrogen levels, throwing me into full blown menopause as I’m
still peri-menopausal at the moment. So that’s the educational bit!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Next visit to the breast clinic will be January 3<sup>rd</sup>
to discuss filling up my implant to expand it (Eeeep!) The pump thingy is under
my armpit and they inject saline through my skin into it to fill up the implant
and I have to have a bit at a time to get a natural ‘droop’. If I leave it too
long though, my implant might encapsulate and not be able to be inflated. Hopefully
I’ll get a date for the oncologist then as well.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I also had my work Xmas lunch which was nice although I
did have to avoid some of the more vigorous hugs as my back and shoulder are
still really sore. I’ve been getting out and about as well, going into town to
get last minute Christmas things, which is a complete nightmare! I’ve been
taking my walking stick as it sort of warns people off and means I can actually
get a seat on the bus! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also got the
first of my bras with pockets, which is nice as it has a lace fichu across the top
to cover me up slightly. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Scar is still really sore, which is weird as the
actual skin over my boob is totally numb still. My armpit is in total agony
though where they cut the nerves to get to my lymph nodes. I’m using Linden Voss
Triple Strength deodorant as it lasts for a few days, to avoid the pain of
applying it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also had the last
waterproof dressing taken off and had the luxury of a bath, which was actually
quite scary as I don’t have the strength in my chest to pull myself up and out.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had to roll onto my knees and then
stand up to step out. It was nice being able to give myself a good scrub all
over without standing on a towel and using a flannel!!! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also managed to get my hair washed this week
as well, which was so nice. So it’s been an exciting week of firsts and
hopefully I’ll be able to take normal things for granted again soon. (Like putting
on a bra without having to contort myself).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">No tubes, wires or unnecessary attachments visible, now. I
went back to the Breast Clinic for about the 3<sup>rd</sup> time this week and
finally had the last drain removed. I’d been draining about 70-100mls of stuff
(blood and lymphy stuff) per day and they like it to drop to about 30 mls
before they take it out and finally last night it dropped to about 35mls – phew
– or I’d have been back on antibiotics and stuck with the drain until Monday.
It is a real drag having pipes attached and having to carry around a little
baggie to make sure you don’t drop it all and pull it all out (blech).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The pain under my left armpit is going away and apparently
that’s where I had the 2 lymph nodes removed. Only 2 out of 47 – I can’t
imagine what the pain would be like, if I’d had them all out!!!! The skin is
really tender and I’m finding it really tough doing the physio exercises. If
anyone had told me that putting my hand on a wall and stretching it up would cause
me immense pain, I’d have laughed at them! But I’m persisting – All 8 exercises
3 times a day with 7-10 reps – ouchy!!! And they take forever! I’ve just
ordered the DVD from the website as the leaflet is starting to get a bit tatty
already. If anyone wants to read up or dontate then the website is here: <a href="http://www.breastcancercare.org.uk/">http://www.breastcancercare.org.uk/</a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I’ve also spent the last 2 days back at home, so that Colin
can concentrate on work more and get on from under his feet. It seems weird
being back at home, especially as Zedward has more or less had the run of the
place with his girlfriend for the last week. I did have to vacuum and clean the
loo, but otherwise it was remarkably clean. (Probably because Colin spent last
Wednesday turfing it all out as well). I’ve also cleaned out my inbox and 700
emails later, it is empty ;) No real post to speak of, apart from cards and a
lovely plant from work. I absolutely have to go shopping next week though as I
haven’t bought my Xmas cards and wrapping stuff yet. Something I put off and
now it’s nearly too late. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am really
feeling the Scrooge this year as I just cannot be bothered with the whole
Christmas malarkey! Mum and Dad are off to NZ this year so we’re seeing them
next weekend; Zedward is working right through, apart from the day itself and
Buttieboy is off to his Dad’s on Christmas Eve. So Col and I are looking to go
out on the day itself, rather than cook and stay in all day. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What else have I been doing, apart from going nuts? A lot of
competitions!!!! Those who know me well, know about my fondness for winning
things! And this time of year there are about a million and one advent
competitions!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think my RSI is back
with a vengeance due to all the entries I’ve made. I have won a few already as
well :)</span></div>

was sending me a bit mental as well. I really don’t know what I’m going to do
for the next few months if I have to have intense chemo. I don’t really do well
with nothing to do. Someone suggest some sensible hobbies (no piping up about
cleaning; Mr Chapman!) please? I do have a mandolin that’s crying out to be
learned how to be played but that’s not appealing right now especially with my
left arm giving me gyp.</span></div>

They are a very small operation unlike GlossyBox, Amarya or JolieBox. You don't have to subscribe, just pay £12 via PayPal when she announces the payment window is open on Facebook. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Beautylishious.co.uk?ref=stream" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/Beautylishious.co.uk?ref=stream</a><br />
<br />
I got December's as I've unsubbed from SheSaidBeauty and LuxBox now. <br />
<br />
I have received Ayuuri Rose Facial Toner (normally £3.95). I love the smell of this. I use rosewater all the time instead of toner and I like the products on this companies website. http://www.ayuuri.co.uk/<br />
<br />
Then there is a small pot of BM bronzer. I may keep this as I don't wear this in the winter. Full size is £8.00 from <a href="http://www.bmbeauty.com/internal/product_info.cfm?summer_warmth">http://www.bmbeauty.com/internal/product_info.cfm?summer_warmth</a><br />
<br />
A really useful addition is the Vaseline Lip Therapy. £3.49 for the ltd edition Pink Bubbly. Someone will get this in their Xmas Stocking as I don't use petroleum based balm, but it does look so pretty!!<br />
<br />
One item I will definitely use is the BarryM polish in Yellow Topaz!! :) There were two other variants; Lady in Red and Diamond Glitter. These are normally £2.99 at Boots. <br />
<br />
Finally 2 little sachets in a wee baggie from Green People. Sachets are okaaaaay, I guess, but you don't get enough in them to really test the product out. But I do like the bag cos I can use it for presents ;)<br />
<br />
A good bag for £12(inc postage) and its a nice way to try products from companies I've never heard off like Ayuuri. <br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First week ordeal nearly over!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I won't lie. It bloody hurts!!!! Then when you get up the next morning, it hurts again. The only time it doesn't hurt is when you are so exhausted by the pain, you eventually sleep for a few hours.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But I digress. I'll give you a brief synopsis of my past week in hell. As you may remember, I had to be there at stupid O'clock on Wednesday. I think there was a member of admin missing as it seemed a bit chaotic. I had a student nurse come and do paperwork with me, then the usual bp, temp, pulse bits. Then my consultant came to scribble on me. I seem to remember Col vanishing at this point. My memory is a little fuzzy cos of the anaesthetic. I had a lovely senior anaesthetist come to talk to me and we did more paperwork, then I finally got changed and the anaesthetist registrar walked me to theatre. I said goodbye to Col at the door and then they prepped me for surgery. Apparently I'm not supposed to remember sitting on the bed while they wired me up and chatted whilst they stuck that blasted cannula in my hand, but I do; so ha!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then thankfully I don't remember anything until about 3 pm. Due to being invaded by Norovirus, there was no visiting until 6 pm. We hadn't planned for that!!! I can't remember much about the visit from Col, apart from him bringing me new slippers. Much of the next 24 hours is a blur of half-sleep, pain and measuring my bloody bp! It was so flipping noisy as well! Trolleys, beds, doors banging! Hospitals must be the worst places to sleep in the world! The next day was a little better. The surgeon came to visit and she prescribed me a sleeping pill (Yeay!), Then the anaesthetist and I got morphine (double yeay!!) I'd been on paracetamol & ibuprofen until then :@ I also had 2 drains stuck in me >\</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was stuck there for another night but thankfully the pill worked. A note about the nursing staff. Most of them were excellent as you'd expect but I did have to ask one if she could wash her hands as she'd just been with another patient. I did feel bad but I can't risk infections now. And I had to wear stewpid thrombosis socks and have the scratchy anti- clotting injection in my stomach (:@) every night!! Sue, my breast care nurse came to see me before I was discharged to hsave a look & fit me with a softie; which is like a toy boob that you can join in to make your chest look even. I need it! My new boob is tiny and tight and perky! Unfortunately my remaining one isn't :( So I have to wear the softie to make them look the same. I can't remember much of Friday and getting back to Col' s, it's all a blur again. Time tends to blur after a long anaesthetic. I seem to to remember ringing my gp and asking for morphine. I got codeine which is ok but it bungs you up so eat your veg!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway I'm in the bed & Col' s on the sofa. I'm too scared of getting my drains caught to sleep in the same place at the mo. I've had one taken out but have to wait until Wednesday for the next one to go.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks for the kind words, on here, FACEBOOK, Twitter, texts and calls. They are all appreciated. </span><br />

I couldn't think of what else to call it??? Going in for 7.30am tomorrow. 7.30am???? Hope my surgeons fully awake, cos I won't be!!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I've had my first pre-op tablet - Ranitidine, to reduce stomach acids so I don't damage my lungs if I up-chuck under anaesthesia; lovely thought ;)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">No pictures today as I'm not wearing make-up, had to take my polish off and I expect by this time in 12 hours I'll still be lying on a table in a tres chic bum exposing gown(or nothing if they're still working on me). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm not actually that nervous about it, probably because all I want is a damned cigarette!!!! The inhalator things are ok. I really do not like the spray as it burns the inside of my mouth, but I still want a real one!! I caved and fired up my E-cigs as they only have nicotine in and they're a lot better. I know it's psychological, but seeing the smoke come out(even if it's only glycerol vapour) makes me feel better and the ones I have contain less nicotine that my 'official' inhalator. At least I'll be trapped on the ward until Friday so I can't keep thinking about running to the shop over the road</span>.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm all packed and ready and just watching Big Bang Theory and then it's time to have my last proper bath for a while and stare at the ceiling through the water. Does anyone else do that, or is it just me? I have to keep my top half dry until all my stitches have melted or whatever it is that they do</span>,<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> so I'll just be sitting in water up to my hips - no showers unless I swathe my top half in clingfilm, and doesn't that sound attractive?</span>.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So that's it for now. God knows when my brain will work coherently enough to write another blog post, possibly next week sometime. And I'm not posting any pictures post-op as that would just gross everyone out, or just be too weird; as I know I have work colleagues reading this as well!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">See you on the other side(no, not <i>that </i>other side).</span><br />

It's the nights that are definitely the hardest.Just wish I could switch off the whirring of my brain.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Last week was so strange. It was my last week at work and I posted about some of the students and their lovely gifts. Well, that wasn't the end of it:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-um24PCAItgc/ULvxh2IxYeI/AAAAAAAAAos/9e4nGHAI3vU/s1600/Student+flowers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-um24PCAItgc/ULvxh2IxYeI/AAAAAAAAAos/9e4nGHAI3vU/s320/Student+flowers.jpg" width="234" /> </a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Flowers from students </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MRarNaLhpNo/ULvxiTTyAQI/AAAAAAAAAo0/1XSbnPNcEco/s1600/Teacher+gifts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MRarNaLhpNo/ULvxiTTyAQI/AAAAAAAAAo0/1XSbnPNcEco/s320/Teacher+gifts.jpg" width="257" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Presents from colleagues</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Bless them all :) !</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On another note, I went to the GP's to sign up to the smoking cessation programme as I really need some kind of Nicotine Replacement to get me off the weed. My will-power isn't enough! Only the nurse wouldn't give me any, or sign me up to the programme as:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">a) It's the 'wrong time' whatever that means and </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">b) I would miss an appointment due to still being in hospital!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And they only give patches, which I'm allergic to, nothing else, despite the plethora of NRTs out there. I actually cried in public for the first time. I'm totally shocked at how unbending they were!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Aaargh!!!! In the immortal words of Meldrew: 'I don't beleeeeeeeve it!' So I went to Boots and I have my first appointment with them on Monday - no faffing about the wrong or right time or missing appointments. They're quite happy to see me when I can come in. I can get the sprays or nico-inhalors free as I don't have to pay for prescriptions now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I've still got a million things to arrange, like a bag for hospital and a bag for Colin's as I'm staying at his to recuperate for a while after surgery. I have to pack a bag for littlie as he's coming to stay as well. I have to remember to sort out his scouts trip and lunches. Zedward will just have to sort out his own lunches and get himself up for work on his own now; well he had to start doing it sometime. Just cutting the apron strings a little earlier than desired, I guess. At least I managed to get rent money out of him for the first time ever! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Everything at work is done and dusted now, all work marked and returned, all UCAS references written and sent off, but it seems weird that I won't see my office ever again (They're moving next year before I come back.) It also seems weird that I won't have to get up at 7am to put my face on for work for at least 6 months, maybe longer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm not dreading the surgery so much as the recovery afterwards. I really, really hate waking up from anaesthetic and being in pain as everything is always so confusing and fuzzy. Plus the wards are always so darned hot! I thought germs liked it warm, so why don't they keep the temperature down and just give out extra blankets if you get cold? It'd probably save on energy bills as well! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And then there's Christmas to get ready for! Or not? I've got most of the presents sorted but I stropped out of M & S the other day in a fit of 'I can't be bothered-itis!' I'll follow Colin's lead and buy everything the day before. We're at my mum and dad's for the weekend before anyway as they're flying out to NZ on Christmas Day, so we get to celebrate a bit early. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Back to the beauty stuff and I've been having a no-spend month (or two). I have too much stuff. I've been trying to empty cupboards and get the place sorted so it's neat and tidy but I think I'm fighting a losing battle as I don't do tidy. But if I don't buy anything for a while, then there should eventually be some space cleared</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L8-Cxv9h-WI/ULv-r3SENAI/AAAAAAAAAps/17ODkZ6oNcI/s1600/cupboard.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L8-Cxv9h-WI/ULv-r3SENAI/AAAAAAAAAps/17ODkZ6oNcI/s320/cupboard.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is my cupboard over the sink - just a tad full?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3 drawers of assorted lipsticks, mascaras, hair things and samples (Eeep - hoarder much?)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would show the nail box I have but there's 3 Muji drawers full of it and it's hard to get out and photograph. I did get a new nail varnish this week, but that's because I had a couple of voucher for Boots 17 from the Loyalty card machine; one for half -price lipstick, and another for a free crackle with another 17 item. So a lipstick and varnish for £2.50. Couldn't say no really? Wish I had though as it's not very good. It's a new crackle and doesn't appear to have a name on the bottle. \it'd Nail Xtras Crackle topcoat but it doesn't crackle:</span><br />

I popped this over the Nails Inc. Portchester Square that I couldn't be bothered to take off as everything has to come off on Tuesday night anyway. It's just got a streaky effect but doesn't crack properly. I'll try it again over a brighter colour next time and put it on a lot thicker to see if that improves it.<br />
<br />
What do you think?<br />
<br />
Anyway, I'll pop on another little blog Tuesday night before my op and then I'll post when I'm feeling well enough to type.<br />
<br />
See you all soon.<br />

feral youth and uncaring youngsters etc., and whilst I am sure there are areas
of inner cities that are terrorised by these groups, I am constantly unsurprised
by just how caring and kind this much maligned section of society is. Since
starting teaching in the 16+ sector, these teens (and up) have consistently
brought me joy, happiness and pride. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I have seen them starting as shy first years in their
first week of induction, where they are thrown together with others who have
nothing in common apart from their age and the subject they want (or are made
to) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>study. Then I’ve witnessed them
blossoming away from the somewhat constricting typical school system. Some of
them blossom a wee bit too much away from the discipline and have to be reined
in slightly, but never stifled. Then the magic of the first summer holiday
happens and they return somehow magically transformed into mature (mostly)
young adults, ready to take their first steps into employment or onto higher
education. I love being their UCAS referee as I get to read their personal statements
which give me more insight into their dreams and aspirations. Then comes their
joy at being offered that treasured (un)conditional offer or the offer of a
trainee position, or an advanced apprenticeship. Then the realisation that they
now have to really buckle down and get the rest of their work up to the desired
level.</span></div>

my 2<sup>nd</sup> years now, apart from the ones I’ve added to my social

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> They have conspired with other teachers and themselves to
hold a collection and get the presents; apparently they were hidden in the
staffroom under my nose at lunchtime, and I have to tell you, reading the card
brought me so close to tears. I did succumb at home when I re-read it in
private. So if any of 2B are reading this (probably not) then thank you so much;
you’ve really made it all worth it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Back to the medical stuff now( yawn); I had my pre-op
assessment yesterday, where I was poked with needles again, wired up to ECGs,
had my BMI done(I didn’t dare look) and my CO levels taken. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Apparently cutting down the fags is working as
I’ve dropped from a level 4(in 2010) ‘highly addicted’, to a level 2; #’frequent
smoker’. I get my nicotine replacement therapy on Friday and as of Saturday; I
will be a non-smoker (gulp!). Then my consultant; the wonderful Lucie Jones,
measured me up for my new implant and took my consent for the operation next
week. It really feels real now and I’m glad I’ve had this time to adjust and
say goodbye to my left boob as I know it. I’m going to lose a good third off
the bottom of it and I’m going to have to wear a chicken fillet to make sure it’s
even in a bra until I have the other one reduced to match sometime next year. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The silver lining though is that I can buy
pretty bras without spending a fortune in Bravissimo as I’ll probably go down
to a B or C cup from an unfeasibly heavy E cup.</span></div>

This time I used Essie 808 'Skirting the Issue' which I got from Atelier To Go, for signing up to their site here; http://www.atelier-to-go.com/<br />

Oh and I went to the GP over my weird dizzy spell, and apparently it's probably a combination of a virusey cold I've got and stress. Hmmmm. <br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Why am I writing my blog when I should be at work? Because I now have something wrong with my balance. I had a quick look on t'interweb and it looks likely that I have labyrinthitis. I don't know for sure, because when I rang the GP saying I couldn't walk properly and I had double vision, they offered me next Tuesday!!!! Or alternatively I can ring up tomorrow and try for one of the emergency slots!!! Gee thanks so much. I'll try not to walk into traffic! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lovely Col gave me a lift home at lunchtime after I staggered down the stairs and tried not to bounce off too many students in the carpark.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">That's what my head feels like!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anyway, everything seems to have gone quiet on the BC front now. No appointments until I get radio-active isotopes injected into me for <a href="http://www.sentinelnode.net/" target="_blank">Sentinel Node mapping</a> on the 4/12. Then my big op on the 5th(ugh!) I keep waking up, hoping that everything is a nightmare and it will all go away. I have put all my pretty bras in a bag to take to Oxfam to take advantage of the £5.00 off M& S voucher, as I don't want them filling up my drawer unnecessarily now. I will be able to wear pretty ones again but the sizes will be all wrong, and I want my other one reduced to match so hopefully I'll be a more sensible C cup when this is all done and dusted. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My weekly mani has gone a bit wrong as well. I thought as I have so many glitters, I would try using PVA glue as a base coat as described <a href="http://www.prettypurplepolish.com/2012/08/peel-off-base-coat-for-easy-glitter.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Only this morning, as I was struggling with my socks, they decided to start pinging off! </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Very neat, but NOT before work please!!!!!! I managed to quickly re-do them (no stamping though) and got through to lunchtime before re-doing them all a few minutes ago. Hopefully they'll last a tad longer this time.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For the next update(if there's anything to update)I've decided to do a blog entry about me and my hair and why it's upsetting me to think about losing it, than actually losing my boob, complete with lots of 'me and my hair' picture through the years.</span><br />

I'm getting condolences and commiserations from everyone at work, plus all the lovely comments on here and other social media, but I feel fine!!!<br />
<br />
I know I won't feel this way in a months time, but still..........<br />
<br />
Anyway, I went to see my consultant today. She really is a lovely lady, who I am sure is about 5 years younger than me(she makes me feel old anyway) and I've never met a doctor like her! She isn't patronising or condescending, but makes me feel at ease and entirely comfortable. We discussed my options again and we're definitely going for the skin saving mastectomy that I posted about last time.<br />
<br />
I have to give up smoking(I know I should have anyway, years ago) so that the healing process isn't impeded, as there will no longer be any blood vessels going through my boob. The only ones left will be the small surface ones on the skin, so I have to do all I can to make sure that the flow isn't constricted. So that means no smoking, keeping my chest warm and keeping everything super clean. Worst case scenario is that I get a deep infection and the implant has to come out and I have to wait to months and months to have a new one put in. But that means the dreaded skin grafts from my back, which I really don't want!<br />
<br />
So I'm going back to the GP to try the inhalator's again as I was nearly successful with them last time, and I use them at airports and on planes anyway. Faced with smoking or no boob has sort of decided me. I also lost out on the chance of a free tummy tuck as well, because of the smoking and healing issue. So if you know anyone who can't quit, you might want to pass that one on. One for the 'things they never tell you' list!<br />
<br />
I've also been having a few dizzy spells. Hopefully it's just me getting over the bug I had last week, but the tested my BP anyway and it's perfectly normal, considering I was in a hospital and I usually get 'white coat' syndrome.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks to some advice, on here and other sources, I'm going to stock up on Jergens paraben free lotion and Vitamin E cream so that I can keep my skin soft and looked after in the eventuality that I have radiotherapy. The Dr said its highly likely that it will damage my implant and I'll need it replaced when treatment is finished but that's another bridge to cross, along with a reduction on my other breast so that they match in size.<br />
<br />
I've also done loads more clearing out. This time my shoe collection!!!! I have a bookcase in my hallway which was stuffed with shoes, and that has now been reduced by 3 recycling bags! No more stacking of shoe boxes, just one layer of shoes per shelf. Even my Prada trainers went but the 2 pairs of Miu Miu dolly shoes are safe in my wardrobe now. The kitchen has been slightly re-organised as well, with my Muji drawers full of nail polish now residing in the living room, where I do my nails anyway, and the kitchen table is finally clear of rubbish and sundry paperwork, with a lovely clean table cloth. Col's going to put up some shelves in there for me so I can get rid of the other sundry bits cluttering up the work surfaces.<br />
<br />
Talking of nails, I did a pretty mani on Sunday night. I got some lovely OPI trios in TKMaxx for £14.99 and these are 2 of them. OPI On Air Perso-nail-ity and Y'all Come Back Ya Hear? on alternate fingers, and then some pretty water decals from Kiss that look like stained glass under daylight.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mJAs8i4_wM4/UKGZiiRW2GI/AAAAAAAAAmQ/D6XClS7UDNA/s1600/OPI+and+decals.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mJAs8i4_wM4/UKGZiiRW2GI/AAAAAAAAAmQ/D6XClS7UDNA/s1600/OPI+and+decals.jpg" /></a></div>
Not the greatest picture but they look so much better in real life. water decals are fun but they can be really delicate to work with as they break up if you try and slide them around too much. You also have to be careful with the topcoat and let it drip on first or it will smoosh the decal up. I got mine from Ebay but I've also had some from <a href="http://www.kkcenterhk.com/Nail-Water-Decals/c106/index.html" target="_blank">KKcentralHK</a> in the past. Hing King, but fairly fast delivery and good service. They also sell all sorts of goodies, such as false eyelashes, brushes and hair accessories.<br />
<br />
So a weird start to the week. I'm sort of hopeful, fearful, a little bored of waiting but also dreading it when it does all kick off. I do have the dentist tomorrow and a flu jab to look forward to though :/<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading and all comments welcome as always.<br />

Starting to think about surgery now and I'm finding it harder to sleep at night. One of my biggest fears(phobias) has been about having an operation and waking up 'under the knife'!!</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So you can sort of imagine what I'm lying there thinking about now.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, yesterday, we went to see Sue (my Breast Cancer Nurse). She is so lovely and reassuring and told me about the different type of anaesthetic used, which means that they don't use a paralytic agent</span>. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In other words, if I wake up, the whole team will know about it pretty sharpish ;) I also have my date now; drum roll please........5th December!! So 3 working weeks away!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I found another blog from a lovely lady who has had the same procedure with the same consultant that I'm having so if you want to have a peek, look <a href="http://thefeltfairyuk.blogspot.co.uk/p/warning-mastectomy-pictures.html" target="_blank">here</a>, but NOT if you're squeamish as they are Mastectomy pictures! We're going to meet with Lucie, my consultant, on Monday afternoon and we're going to discuss the treatment, surgery and different types of implant. The inflatable one looks 'interesting' but I'm not keen on the idea of having the valve left in my armpit after it's all finished</span>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wcgj5mpSCMw/UJ2qMz6h1MI/AAAAAAAAAl8/jdzX-xYWx_0/s1600/implant.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wcgj5mpSCMw/UJ2qMz6h1MI/AAAAAAAAAl8/jdzX-xYWx_0/s1600/implant.jpeg" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We also discussed post-recovery options after I looked at the photos and I might be able to get my other one reduced so at least I have a matching pair</span>, <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">which is nice, but purely cosmetic so I'll leave that thought alone for now.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm determined to try and keep going as normal at the minute,which entails going to work and keeping busy, but I don't know if it's stress, slight depression or insomnia, but I am so darned tired all the time. I had to take Wednesday off as my voice went and I had the scratchiest throat ever. Of course it could be that I had told most of my work colleagues the news and I got so many hugs that I probably picked up a germ or two! I was shopping in Tesco's after work today and had a little 'moment', where I was so tired that I just wanted to sit on the floor and cry! Not like me at all!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As part of my keeping normal routine I also did my Sunday evening nail paint. I used China Glaze Good Witch, from the Wizard Ohh Ahz collection, with a Bundle Monster Stamp, as I was in a definitely pink mood.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I also got some of my wedding pictures from Nikki, who is my son's girlfriend (currently studying photography)</span>. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've cropped the kids out of my absolute favourite one as I don't want to be showing them to the world without permission, but I love how she's captured our absolute happiness that day</span>.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And that picture encapsulates my feelings for Colin perfectly and that is what is going to keep me going through these next yucky, painful months!</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">People at work and other friends have said how 'chipper' I am being</span>, <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">but I think that's the only way to be. If you fake the smile then eventually it sticks and feels real. I actually don't have to fake the smiles too much though as I keep forgetting about it, either that, or I'm making sick jokes about it. It's only at night time when I'm alone with my thoughts that I waver. So I just pop downstairs and have a cup of tea and read my Kindle until I get tired again. Colin has been an absolute angel about everything, even buying a book on how to cope being a husband to a wife with Breast Cancer. He has been helping to tidy up and clean which is probably more stressful than everything else, given my hoarder tendencies. I hate getting rid of my 'stuff', even though most of it is probably junk.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm also really relieved at the way work are handling all this. I'm getting 6 months full pay, followed by 6 months half-pay if necessary and hopefully I'll be able to return back for the new college year in September as normal. Of course it all depends on whether I need chemo and how many cycles I'll need, how I'm feeling and my fatigue levels, but I'm keeping September in my head as my target recovery time. Everyone at work has been so kind though, to the point where I get a bit teary when they're nice to me :') </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I've told some of my more mature second year students that I'm leaving and why and they've been so adult about it, and that made me nearly well up, as well! I'm just so sorry that I won't be there when they leave college and move onto Uni or going into full time employment next year, as that is always my favourite time of the college year; watching them move onto the next step of their adult life. I really hope that they get a good replacement(temporary!) for me who will do them all proud and give them the pastoral care that they need. I just hate the feeling that I'm rushing them through their UCAS applications, but I want to get all their references done before I leave, if possible.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anyway, I'm going to stock up on of Bio-Oil this week, for my scars, and look for some comfy best style jammies, as it looks like I'll be leaving hospital with my drain in place (YUKKK!) and I don't want to be catching pipes on things! Also going to pop to Asda as they have some pretty cheap post surgery bras <a href="http://direct.asda.com/george/womens-lingerie/post-surgery-floral-bra-white/GEM262005,default,pd.html?cm_vc=GRGBZTOP" target="_blank">here</a> for only £6.00!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18388540914118374106noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-561995729854366303.post-88067369162523096722012-11-02T23:11:00.002+00:002012-11-02T23:11:55.143+00:00Beauty & the Breast<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yesterday I was diagnosed with breast cancer</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Not what you usually read on a beauty blog??</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Even though I haven't been the best of bloggers; too infrequent, too reliant on website descriptions etc, I am going to try & improve, in the name of education.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Breast Cancer is NOT a death sentence. In fact it wasn't even mentioned once yesterday. The focus was on treatment & reconstruction; how to get me back to normal as soon as possible, in fact.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes there were tears,especially when the doctor said the 'mastectomy' word. Eeeep!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The doctor and the nurse were the best ever team I could have had tell me the bad news. No beating about the bush, just 'Yes you have cancer, and this is how we will deal with it'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've decided to change the focus of my blog now. I'm still going to talk about beauty products,hair and nails, but there will he a very personal slant now. There may be somewhat of a dear diary feel to it and there WILL be days when I won't post, purely because I will feel too crap!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm probably going to tell you about the search for the comfiest post.-op bra, the best cleanser & moisturiser for burnt & irradiated skin, how to cope with crapped out chemo-face and gross shadows under my eyes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And I want to hear from other fighters, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">cos that's what we are; not pansy ass victims, about how they cope, what happens when the hair falls, when the steroids give you moonface (not looking forwards to that- ulp)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I might not have all these treatments, but the nurse told me that as I'm young, the treatment WILL be very aggressive!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope I don't upset anyone but I don't want you to file that mammogram appointment under 'must get around to sometime' or only have a feel when you remember. I couldn't feel my lump as it was buried in my ducts, but please, please have a good feel at least once a month, the week after your period as thats when they're not so naturally lumpy or sore. I had a letter inviting me for an early mammogram as they are now starting at 47 in Warwickshire, and it has literally saved my life as I would probably not survived an extra 3 years at the rate it's growing; 5cm when scanned last month and 6cm this week.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A final word, but by no means an afterthought; </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got married on Monday to my long-term partner of 10 years, Colin and he is the love of my life. He is now, and will always be, my rock. I think of the practicalities and he deals with the emotions. I can never really vent or breakdown, but when I see him with tears in his eyes, it loosens the burden in my chest as if I have somehow transferred all my sorrow and pain over, leaving me free to deal with the physical crap. I do feel bad that he feels that he can't do anything, but he doesn't realise that he IS helping me. He gives me hugs when I need it, tells me that it won't matter about scars and an ugly boob and doesn't laugh at my silly ideas and fears.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My mum and family have all rallied around via text, phone and Skype from Cyprus, London, Glasgow & New Zealand. My new stepkids have sent me beautiful flowers. This is my Circle of Support and they will rally round and help brighten my life when things go dark.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18388540914118374106noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-561995729854366303.post-81134097026686952252012-08-12T20:29:00.002+01:002012-08-13T11:40:29.321+01:00Philosophy? Is it a miracle?<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Last week I posted that I had received some samples from Philosophy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<br />
I received: </div>
<ul style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<li>Philosophy Miracle Worker: anti-ageing concentrate, miraculous anti
ageing moisturiser & eye cream </li>
<li>The micro delivery exfoliating
facial wash </li>
<li> Keep the Peace super soothing moisturiser for redness and
sensitivity </li>
<li>Hope in a Jar. Original formula moisturiser for all skin
types </li>
<li>Purity. One step facial cleanser </li>
<li>Amazing Grace. Shampoo, bath
& shower gel. Body emulsion </li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So this week I have been using them all and whilst there has not been a miracle, my skin is still smooth, calm and not overly oily.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have been using the Miracle worker concentrate on my cheeks and forehead as I have the most discolouration, from the sun or age, in those areas. I've been avoiding my chin area as I have a propensity to spots if i put too much product there. The discolouration is still there, so maybe I need to use it longer than a week, but my pores have got a smidgen smaller, most noticeably on the right hand side? Maybe I've rubbed it in there better? I do have 2 x 3ml dispensers so I will continue to use this until it runs out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The eyecream is really, really thick and I have had to be careful not to use too much; consequently one small sachet has lasted a week!. It is really soothing but make sure you don't get it too close to your eyes as it makes them really sting!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The anti-ageing moisturiser is really smooth and reamy and feels a little heavy for my skin so I have been using that at night and the Hope in a Jar during the day as it is a lot lighter.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I haven't used Keep the Peace moisturiser as I don't suffer from redness, but I will take it away on holiday in case I don't protect enough in the sun.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have actually used Purity facial cleanser in the past and still have half a bottle in my travel bag as it is so handy top take away as an all in one solution, cleans my face and removes make-up without a trace at the end of the day without being drying. I have used the exfoliating facial wash in the morning as it really gives my skin a wake up and helps leave it smooth, soft and ready to be moisturised.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I also own Amazing Grace as it is another multi-use product. I can wash my hair with it, use it in the bath or as a shower gel. It does smell 'AMAZING' , and I like to layer this with the body lotion and a small roll on bottle of the perfume, that I think came in a gift set from QVC.It is a very 'clean' scent and I like to wear it to work as it's not too over-powering.</span><br />

I am currently using the Philosophy Purity in the eveings to remove my make-uop and it's great so far. I'm also using the micro delivery exfoliating
facial wash in the morning followed by Miracle Worker: anti-ageing concentrate, miraculous anti
ageing moisturiser & eye cream. So far, so good but's it's only been 24 hours and I do have a huuuge spot coming out on my chin, but I think that's possibly due to me starting low-carbing last week and I'm going into sugar withdrawal right now :(</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
I also visited the beauty counters at House of Fraser in the afternoon as I'm looking to change my foundation. I just can't find one that's just right. I've got <span class="st">Mac Studio Fix Fluid(NW18) and Estee Lauder Double Wear in Ivory Beige. They're ok for winter but I need something lighter for summer, especially as I'm off to Cyprus next week.</span></div>

I've never done one of these before so be warned I do have a naked scary face!!! (Well with foundation on - Not that brave)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I've used Yana Foundation Shade number 4 from the Amitee Pamper Secrets July Box. They can be found here: </span><a href="http://www.amiteeuk.com/boxes" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" target="_blank">http://www.amiteeuk.com/boxes</a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">. They cost £10 per month (+P&P) and they are more tailored to your skintype than the opther boxes and they actually pay attention to your profile!!! This one is a little bit to pale. The idea is that you picked a celebrity that you think your skin colour is like. I picked JLo, when I should have picked Alicia Keys, only I didn't think my skin was that dark :@. It's also really, really shiny without powder on!</span><br />

Surely not every single blogger buys all their products? We'd all be broke??? </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">With this in mind and after joining a group on Facebook: </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/340185159390298/" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" target="_blank">Battle of the Boxes</a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">, who are assiduous at seeking out free samples, I decided to see who would send out free samples to review. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm not doing this to just get freebies though. I will buy products if they suit me and if they are affordable. My wallet doesn't stretch to Creme de La Mer so I won't be cheeky enough to ask for samples from them(although it would be nice).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So far I have asked and had emails confirming I will get samples from:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.moltonbrown.co.uk/store/index.jsp" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Molton Brown</span></a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.crabtree-evelyn.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Crabtree & Evelyn</span></a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.elemis.com/Default.aspx" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Elemis</span></a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.aeos.net/home.aspx" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Aeos</span></a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.philosophyskincare.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Philosophy</span></a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.bettyhula.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Betty Hula</span></a></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Mac sent me a very generic email re-directing them to their customer switchboard so I may give them a call.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There is a kerfuffle currently going on, on the facebook group regarding Jo Malone samples as some people are receiving perfume samples but I and some others have met with a flat refusal and re-directed to their counters. If I had a counter near me then I would go there 8-¦</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anyway, as soon as I have received these samples I will review them on here :)</span><br />
