@Flowergirl I fell asleep early last night. Is there anyway to have a better forum for the chat? More real time? There's such a delay in being able to 'chat'. Just a thought
Hi @red1976 Hope you ad a good rest and are feeling well. Yes, there is a bit of a lag time when you post. We are restricted to how the chat is set up.
Good evening everyone - hope you are doing well tonight. If you are new to the chat - welcome. Please take a look through the topics as there are several pages of them now and there are history notes on previous discussions within those topics.
The recent issue of the regional updates for Ovarian Cancer Canada has come out. Be sure to check into what is happening in your area as well as connecting with your regional representative and support groups.
Quiet night tonight... hope to "see" you around the site and back here on Tuesday February 20 @7:00 PM CST
Good evening everyone - welcome @chaoskitty How has everyone been spending their time getting through the February cold snap? I have been able to skate a few times - fresh air is lovely - when you are dressed for it of course! Hello @red1976@terrylee@Quiltmama if you are around tonight.
Thank you - that is good to hear @Quiltmama Hope you are doing well tonight also. Good place to be @red1976 - rest when you need to for sure. It is a hockey night again - love these sports to get us through the winter
I'm doing really well. Sitting here eating popcorn and watching Netflix with my husband. Don't know about anyone else but this weather is really getting me down!! Getting cabin fever too. And @red1976 get your rest!!
I'm also hoping to attend a local education series on pelvic health in March and will post the details I learn about that.
On another note, anyone try hemp hearts - shelled - they taste like sunflower / pumpkin seeds crushed - they are my latest fav and you can add them to anything - salads, smoothies in cookies... they are nut free and have lots of protein.
Yes- this weather started to get to me today - on the plus side, when it is too cold I tackle the indoor to do list - this weekend we painted - anything to keep busy and productive - also helps to stay in the moment and banish the worries! Anyone else have a coping technique that is their go to?
Hello @Luci22@cavy@Courtenay - how are you doing this evening and I hope you have had a chance to go around the site and view the topics - we are at three pages now.
Hi All, I think I am too late for this evenings chat. I have definitely been watching a lot of the Olympic events. I love most of them and especially the womens events. Love the nordic skiing the most. I also have been feeling a bit of cabin fever but it won't be long until we are able to enjoy some outside activities.
I am having my seventh and last chemo tomorrow and it will be nice to have a break.
Thanks to everyone for sharing your experiences and what you have been doing to get through our Canadian winter.
Hi @Flowergirl.... I'm doing well, thanks. Had treatment #2 on Feb 7...took about 8 days to feel "normal", but I feel great now. Little tired after work but I just rest instead of push myself.
After chemo, I find that if I just eat small bits of food, the nausea isn't bad, eating more toast and cereal than ever in my life, but it sits better than my usual eggs. I eat cottage cheese mixed with a bit of applesauce, very tasty and get some protein. I didn't take any of the anti nausea prescription meds last time, zantac and ginger chews as needed. Tons of water and gingerbread spice tea. Hope that helps if anyone is having trouble eating after treatment.
Hello everyone - I've checked inhere early again today - it is a hockey night. Hope everyone is doing well and that is always a good plan terrylee, to go for a walk when you can... feeling so blessed with the support here on the site and such good topics!
