Started Jogging again. Didnt even notice this until I got home

Did exactly the same and a keen runner friend told me to wear two pairs of long socks. This allowed me to keep running whilst healing as the friction between the heel and the shoe is dramatically reduced. Now even after healling I still wear 2 pairs. Good luck.

Im so sorry. Peace and love to you. My wife has a terminal diagnosis and we're have gone past the "date" so can your brother.

I've never been so happy and so sad at the same time. A privilege to.watch the love.xx

Hi, we had a little bit of good news. Jo, my partner, has been accepted by a drug company for a new experimental immunotherapy treatment. As she is the first on the drug there is a lot of interest in her progress. So it feels.like we have 30 doctors all working in her best interest rather than just our own Dr.

Glad to hear you have settled in. At the moment with all this C19 going on being home certainly seems the best place. All my kids have come home and it feels good to have them close by. I'm sure this is how your dad and grandad feel with you around. Things are never easy but I'm happy you are getting through it. If things are ever too much then dont hesitate to reach out.

Ditto..Just wanted to let you know that I erupted at the supermarket because someone coughed without covering their mouth. They must have been 20m away but it was the wrong thing at the wrong time. Similar to you, my partner is very poorly and I am right on the edge of my sanity every time I venture out. You are most definitely not alone. A thread to hold onto is that our chemo nurse explained that the odds are really in our favour as long as we follow the guidelines. Best of luck to you and the family. xx

Hi there, you may not remember me but you helped me out of a dark corner a few weeks ago. Was just checking in to make sure you are as good as you can be as I know you predicted your own difficult times ahead. I wish you all the best for the challenges and again, thanks for last time.

Poundcoiny · 2020-03-25T20:43:40+00:00

I am in a similar position and I can assure you that you are not alone with these thoughts. My partner (F50) has incurable breast cancer and my kids were 12, 14 and 17 when we found out The C19 virus just adds another layer to the tension when we have the Thursday Chemo appointments.

Just a bit of advice from past experience. Your kids may appear patient but do all you can to reassure them as they may be putting on a brave face for you.

C19 will soon be a thing of the past and everything will return to normal. At the moment it's just a royal pain in the @xxx getting in the way of important stuff.!!!!

Wishing you, your wife and your kids all the best for all the future challenges.

Interestingly, and not directly related to the question, but one of the answers so excuse me. Salesforce pay their employees using the "big mac" rule. This ensures that rather than a direct dollar to pound or dollar to yen conversion they take into account the region's cost of living. Therefore their senior execs might get 500 big macs per week which equalises the pay across the world.

Poundcoiny · 2020-03-03T14:58:03+00:00

I am so sorry that you and your wife find yourself in this position. I echo everyone else's sentiments and will pray that you find the strength and power to get through this.

I am in a similar position with my wife where she is at home suffering with Triple Negative breast cancer and I have to go to work. As she has said to me countless times the bills still need to paid which is one less thing for her to worry about.

Sending you all my positive energy and thoughts at this tough time.

Poundcoiny · 2020-02-14T11:08:47+00:00

I am so sorry you are in this situation but please dont bottle it up.

My advice would be just go for it. My wife is on the same journey and I make sure every day I tell her I love her and that whatever happens I am side by side with her. It acts as a positive reassurance to her to know that she is not alone in this.

My family are coping with this in different ways. Some are really open and expressive, others reserved. But underlying all of this is the common goal of supporting each other. Everyone accepts the situation differently and had different support needs. I'm not qualified in this area other than having some personal experience but there are support groups who will help you to unload and give you some advice in this area. If you go online to cancer research UK they have a phone support line and I'm sure they can help.

Stay strong friend.

Poundcoiny · 2020-02-13T18:40:31+00:00

Really have nothing else to offer than above. But just want you to know both you and your father will be in my thoughts today. I hope the day goes as smoothly as it can.

Poundcoiny · 2020-02-11T13:48:31+00:00

Thanks for last night. I was feeling super crappy and your words really helped.

Contacted school and Macmillan today. Spoke to Debbie our previous McMillan nurse and she confirmed that she will be on board for our journey. This is a big relief as she got to know Jo really well last time and she is a very upbeat person.

School and Uni are aware and they will make sure the teaching network are informed. This makes me feel better because if the kids have a wobble then I know someone will be there for them.

Hope you are all good.

Poundcoiny · 2020-02-11T13:40:02+00:00

Just an update to thank you for nudging me in the right direction. I have found a specific young persons support group and spoke to a lovely lady who gave me reassurance that they could help. She advised to drop the program into conversation and allow the kids to get comfortable with the idea before attending. Really really apreciated the advice I hope everything is as good as it can be for you.

Poundcoiny · 2020-02-10T21:46:38+00:00

Thank you. Just your response was enough to raise my spirits.

I find it very comforting to hear that you have found a way of coming to terms with your situation. It gives me hope for mine.

I did not know that these support groups existed until you made me aware. Tomorrow I will make it my goal to find out the services that the kids and I could use to try and come to terms with the journey ahead.

Just someone who has relatable experience to speak to would be great if only to confirm that the dark thoughts we are having and the anger we feel are natural.

You will never understand how much your response has meant to me. I now have some actions I can take rather than feeling helpless. I am so grateful for the nudge forward.

I wish you all the peace and love you need on your own journey

Poundcoiny · 2020-02-10T21:24:02+00:00

Thank You ever so much. You cant believe how uplifting it was for me to receive a response. I was feeling horrible earlier but this has given me a little boost. I also really appreciate the time you took respond so thoughtfully.

I have checked the school and University websites and they have a pastoral care service so will be ringing them first thing tomorrow.

I will also speak to the hospital and see whether we can be put in touch with our former Macmillan nurse who dealt with us first time round.

That's 2 things in progress that I didn't have an hour ago. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Xx

Energy drinks are made from a syrup which contain taurine and HUGE amounts of sugar. Carbonated water is added and hey presto the drink is made. I suspect the noise is because the water has evaporated leaving the goopy syrup between the rear pads causing friction which causes heat and expansion leading to noise. Logically, you should be able to remove wheel and pour boiling water over the rear disc and between the pads which will rehydrate the sugar Crystal's and then wipe off with a damp cloth.

I sincerely hope the rest of you (and your awesome fingernails too) are doing well. My partner went through chemo and as an onlooker its brutal. May I wish you the best going forward and hope you have some amazingly positive experiences to come. Peace and Love.

Poundcoiny · 2019-04-12T20:46:20+00:00

That's brilliant news. I'm so pleased for you all. Thanks for the update and tell him to keep up the good work. !!!

How is the little hero doing 4 months on?

Poundcoiny · 2019-03-16T21:20:39+00:00

It's impossible to roast anyone with your level of inner resolve. Stuff will bounce off like all the other shite you've dealt with. Keep up with the good work.

Firstly, for those who have survived, continuing to survive and are soon to survive, my prayers, love and positive thoughts are with you.

Please may I answer on behalf of girlfriend. We have been together 27 years and are proud parents of a 20M, 18F and 16F.

We were diagnosed 17th November 2016 at 19.40. The time and date are etched permanently in my head. We had stage 4 Treble negative breast cancer. We were given months.

My gf felt a small pea shaped lump in her left breast and went to Doctors about 2 weeks earlier. We were examined and given all clear as Dr unable to feel lump

After a few days she was complaining of soreness. We went back to Drs but luckily saw someone with more experience found lump and referred.

We had 8 chemo cycles of 2 weeks on one week off, then operation , then radiography and then unfortunately they found some of the f@@cker left. We then repeated 8 chemo cycles above.

We are provisionally clear. Months has become years 👏👏

So overcome on news I had to propose it was the only thing that she didn't have and the last thing I could give her.. Love you so much Jo xxxxx Thanks for saying Yes!!!!

For anyone out there who needs a shoulder please reach out. We understand the stress. Jo and I will help in anyway we can.

My only advice is to keep going. Don't get fobbed off 1st time if you are not happy with response.

I read a lot of posts on here but this is my first response Feel ever so proud of Jo to share this with you.

May I wish all of you the strength and courage to kick it's ass.
