Living with metastatic breast cancer since January 2023. Back on here after a rather large break. Deleted old account so hoping to find some friends from before

@allisonoconn @PTarantinoMD I have ILC. It took a long time to diagnose as I did not have a primary cancer. 3.5 years on, still not. Sneakily it took up residence in my bones and liver.

@DocPriyamMD Thank you. I’ve always wondered why my oncologist told me to avoid ibuprofen & stick to paracetamol.

@ForWomenScot They need to engage a proofreader although that’s the least of their worries.

[Debbie Donnison @D5ebbie]

@james1071 @FondOfBeetles Yep. I did say the words. My partner didn’t.

[Debbie Donnison @D5ebbie]

@FondOfBeetles 3 years ago I thought I’d be dead within a month & wanted my partner to be secure. I called the Registry Office, booked a civil partnership for 28 days’ time. They said if things got dire they would come to us at any time. The day arrived. We were in and out in 7 minutes.

I thought journalists were meant to write clearly. The use of ‘they’ here obfuscates.

[Debbie Donnison @D5ebbie]

@WhatNowDoc I don’t even get letters on the NHS App.

[Debbie Donnison @D5ebbie]

I created a new account last year but am now less active on here. I’m a 60+ woman with stage 4 cancer & yet 4 of my 5 followers don’t seem appropriate.

[Debbie Donnison @D5ebbie]

@jan_murray @BluskyeAllison Too little, too late. It’s not even an apology.

[Debbie Donnison @D5ebbie]

@Allamarine @jk_rowling @bindelj I think it’s quite daunting being on a hospital ward anyway. I would not sleep at all in a mixed sex ward.

[Debbie Donnison @D5ebbie]

@millihill @ForWomenScot I noticed that and thought it was odd. He seemed to labour the point rather too much especially as you gave an entirely relevant answer.

[Debbie Donnison @D5ebbie]

@troubleclef73 @SkyNewsAust Sounded like Hinge and Bracket.

[Debbie Donnison @D5ebbie]

@JournalistJill @BBCWomansHour I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I thought it was satire at first but realised that no, the powers that be had thought this was perfectly reasonable. Ffs

[Debbie Donnison @D5ebbie]

@CoachDanGo I have all those things at 63 but sadly have stage 4 cancer. Exception that proves the rule I guess.

[Debbie Donnison @D5ebbie]

@AlisonMoyet My partner has a surname beginning with ‘s’, mine (f) beginning with ‘d’. The mortgage company always puts him first in any correspondence. I asked why but got no reply.

[Debbie Donnison @D5ebbie]

@WeRtheMods No, Letrozole & a few other drugs on the side. Grateful they are keeping me alive but good god it’s tough at times.

[Debbie Donnison @D5ebbie]

@DeanEggitt Great if you can see your GP. I only got to see a nurse who was strangely confident I had gallstones. A&E twice - sent home until my persistence and pain meant they had to try and diagnose. There followed three months to diagnose a stage 4 something.

[Debbie Donnison @D5ebbie]

@timricketts_ Maybe because the food available is on a short date & that it seems busier.
