I tested out the @virustaticshield given by a friend today - on a socially distanced walk with another friend - I look a bit Halloween ready - but glasses remained largely unsteamed. #BusyLivingWithMets #IAmThe31

Powerful social media interaction re vandalism and the church.... #BehindTheHeadlines

It’s #WaitingRoomFeet ... bloods have gone off ... blood pressure so low it’s hard to find (talk to GP please). No nasal hair = bloody nose/raspy voice (talk to oncologist re possible ENT appointment please). #IAmThe31 #BusyLivingWithMets

We went for a sausage sandwich and a walk .. I’m still 0.4km short today!! #BusyLivingWithMets #IAmThe31

Attended church/communion this morning - in PJs as ever .. and turned phone off before too many pics last night! #BusyLivingWithMets #IAmThe31

I should have checked that photo more carefully @eharno! Found an outside pub for some food and hoping that we risk-managed COVID properly! #BusyLivingWithMets #IAmThe31

So Mark has adjusted the angle on the awning so it’s not ‘floating’ in the sky as much (at Tier 2 could actually use this), my lovely parcel from @stage4deservesmore has arrived, and another parcel from an unknown person from #TryItLoveIt (laughed at the thought of trying out the hair volumising product! #BusyLivingWithMets #IAmThe31

Here for podiatry appointment... hopefully that will be an end to antibiotics if they can sort it. Lovely friendly staff here! #BusyLivingWithMets #IAmThe31

Caught up and maybe even a little ahead on my 3.1km average per day for @metupukorg. #BusyLivingWithMets #IAmThe31

After that horrific litre of iodine based contrast ... glad to get that done, and look forward to the joy of sausage and chips at home. Still need another 0.7km walked today. #BusyLivingWithMets #IAmThe31

It’s #WaitingRoomFeet for CT scan (with contrast) to see if my treatment is working .. then it’s the 2-3 week #scanxiety time (have plenty to keep me occupied - #BusyLivingWithMets #IAmThe31

Last month my average daily walking distance was 2

Last month my average daily walking distance was 2.2km ... this month trying to get it to 3.1km average to reflect the 31 people in the U.K. who will die of metastatic breast cancer - of which at some point #IAmThe31. I’m finding the distance a stretch but with @metupukorg we’re trying to get better options for ourselves and those who come after ...

Although data collection isn’t brilliant, and is

Although data collection isn’t brilliant, and is based on past cases, on Secondary Breast Cancer Day I’m reminded the median life average is 2/3-5 years, and for triple negative, 1 year. As the oncologist said - we’re all individuals, but only about 1 in 10 (not quite sure on that number) will make it to 10 years ...

So would really appreciate if friends/family, and anyone with large social networks, would share our campaign #IAmThe31 - we have no funding, most of us are trying to work alongside treatment, whilst dealing with the mental and physical stress of treatment/knowledge of foreshortened life ... and the charities tend to largely focus on primary awareness campaigns ...

Made it onto the ward for #WaitingRoomFeet ... bee

Made it onto the ward for #WaitingRoomFeet ... been walking up & down outside to get steps up. Today is Secondary Cancer Awareness Day - so look out for #BusyLivingWithMets on #IAmThe31 from @metupukorg. Last night found a colour by numbers app!

Time to settle with a film now I’ve had a chat with my mum ... I was 0.6km down, so now I’m 1.3km up ready for treatment day tomorrow on my 3.1km daily average for @metupukorg. #BusyLivingWithMets #IAmThe31

The bacon buttie hut was shut so we came here - v weird to ‘eat out’!! #BusyLivingWithMets #IAmThe31

Had to go to GP pharmacy to collect medication, so went for a walk around that area instead today - nice little park. 2.4km today but 4km yesterday so ... #BusyLivingWithMets #IAmThe31

Got out whilst it was still sunny ... my prescription had got stuck with @wellpharmacy online, so had to go fetch ... turns out no one can get Heliperidol (so?) so guess I continue with dexamethosone. #BusyLivingWithMets (3.5km today - in aid of @metupukorg)

Ah thanks zopiclone. Dexamethosone messes with sle

Ah thanks zopiclone. Dexamethosone messes with sleep - allowed self alarm 10.30, then snoozed for another hour... when doorbell went with these nice surprises (bamboo cap via someone on @ybcn_uk), card from @worthyontheweb (she finds the best ones), and gift from @alexvickykirby full of @tropicskincare goodies! #BusyLivingWithMets #IAmThe31 .. and @thecancerpatient shares anon some of the responses they get to their stories - the one in prayer is mine ;-)

So, a whole week of aiming to get my average daily

So, a whole week of aiming to get my average daily walk to 3.1km (noting that Monday is treatment day so need bit more other days). 7 days in and exactly 3.1km - thinking of those (like me, one day, average says 3-5 years and I’m already nearly 2) 31 women who die every day in the UK from metastatic/secondary/advanced cancer. #BusyLivingWithMets, #IAmThe31 #DyingForACure.
