UMV103 - These side effects are no joke!

[@geoffcampbell7846]

I can't remember who said it, but its true, "Don't think of resting and sleeping as time wasted but as actively working to repair your body". When you look at it that way taking a nap when you need it is a good thing. You certainly looked better at the end of the video than you did at the start which is nice to see, and considering everything you've gone through, quite remarkable. Well done you. Enjoy the show, you lucky thing. Take Care.👋🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦

[@janetkennedy5940]

You do not complain a lot - you tell it like it is and in doing so, you are helping so many people through this. Don't ever stop being you and be kind to yourself.

[@helen9528]

Hope you are feeling better soon, don't worry about John running after you, it gives him chance to "do something" which hopefully will make him feel less helpless, in his support of you.....keep taking the small steps🙏

[@Zoe-Rox]

Mandy you are wonderful, everything you have been through and you still do us videos, take care beautiful lady, true inspiration xxx

[@michellechapman6961]

Mandy you are beautiful and even more so after everything you have gone through. Right, this time last year ish, I told you that my husband had been in Wythenshawe Hospital with sepsis for three months. Because it had not been diagnosed and being repeatedly sent home with paracetamol. The infection had damaged his heart, he had to have valve replacement surgery, it also has damaged his eye sight and he has been left with heart failure. It all started with a urinary tract infection following catheterisation for retention. I am fanatical about sepsis, never disregard a temperature. Had I not got an ambulance that night when he was at his worst I was told he would have been dead within 12 hours. He kept saying I will be alright in the morning! Please petal listen to your body, a temperature means something. If I can get this message out to all that read it I will be a happy bunny. Take care petal every day is the way to your recovery.

[@patrickh8602]

Nothing wrong with a quick nap if you feel like it, just your bodies way of saying 'not so fast madam we've still got some healing to do!' Great to see you looking better and gradually putting it behind you. ❤

[@jillgreen9503]

You are beautiful inside and out , I watch every single video you post , I don’t comment on every one , but I do know you are a strong lady , my friend went through breast cancer and I only met her while she was going through it, so we grew close through me taking her to radiotherapy. She is now cancer free and loving life , stay strong ❤

Hi Mandy I have followed you for a long time now , John as well. You have been so brave, so strong and shared all your cancer with us. I am so sorry you feeling the way you do with it all, but you have rung the bell, and the only way is up from now on, this is just a blip.

You're starting to blossom Mandy. One day at a time..Hugs for you and John ❤❤

[@linz_in_NZ]

The one thing I've found with Chronic Fatigue over the last 7 years is that socialising uses up as much energy as doing something active AND you never know you've done too much until AFTER you stop. Perhaps have short catchups with 1 or 2 people, then a rest would be a good option? I'm okay with 1 or 2 people, more than that and more than one conversation at once and it seems to fry my brain more/use up way more energy and leave me feeling pretty yuk a bit later. Take the meds and rest up - this will lead to a quicker recovery than if you keep over doing it - trust me I've been there and learned the hard way! You are looking and sounding better/more yourself in each clip on the video. Take care of yourself, sit back in your comfy chair and watch those planes arrive.

[@libellula3313]

Well done Mandy, so glad you're nearly through all this. Love Jo in France 🇫🇷

[@strat4ordgirl]

You are doing amazingly well Mandy. Well done. Hope you have a fabulous time at RIAT. Aw we used to go every year, unfortunately age and creaking bones has put a stop to that. I miss not going. It’s a great show. Take care xx

[@unadventurousmandy]

Maybe the park and view tickets are a good compromise ? There’s no way I could walk around the full show but this sounds just right - I’ll find out soon enough ❤️

[@christinee3126]

Ah here we are in July, your treatment is over, just the recovery to get through and life will be fun again. Your documentation of the trials and tribulations from diagnosis to where you are now is impressive and undoubtedly helpful to others starting the same journey. Wishing you a rapid recovery and many happy times ahead.

[@andyday7539]

Good to see your mood and vivacity improving over the few days of these videos. And it must be therapeutic in all sorts of ways to be planning road trips and to get the wheels rolling again and exploring this island once more. (And you have an awesome collection of hats!

When you need a nap, go for it, it's your body's way of telling you, you need a rest, your body heals and repairs it's self when resting and sleeping. Have a lovely time in Cornwall, it doesn't matter how long it takes to get there as long as you get there safe. Take care Mandy, love to you and John ♥️ xx

These effects are going to be happening for a while, but it was get easier as time goes on , and you are telling as it is. Many thanks for doing that. Just take it steady, do what you can, when you can. Keep taking the tablets, you’ll be rattling soon. And get better, John you are a star, know what you mean about being sick. Horrible.

[@stephenjones4588]

Well I think you are looking great especially after the punishment your body has taken. Having had my 42 doses of radiotherapy for my throat cancer plus the chemotherapy I know how hard it is on your body. Rest when you need to but equally don’t let it stop you from being you. Good luck for the future xx

[@ianbasson8367]

Hi Mandy, just take one day at a time and don’t push yourself too much. Hope you get down to RIAT. I live a few field away from RAF Brize Norton and the sky has been busy this afternoon with incoming aircraft ready for the event. Hope you get your ringside seat.

[@antoinettesmithince4724]

[@christines34]

You are amazing, please take things slowly, enjoy the plane's. ❤

[@sharonhines7527]

Please take it easy and listen to your body. If you need to rest or sleep then do. Try not to rush back to doing things too quickly. I had 6 months of chrmo, surgery, radiotherapy, and a year of immunotherapy. I have been really surprised at how long it is taking me to recover, I finished chemo last April and immunotherapy this April. I am so deconditioned. I often need a nap at work and when I come home I crash for 2+hours every night. I have been frustrated at how different I am, but I have finally come to terms with that I am not the same person I was before my treatment. I learnt the hard way, would push myself one day and thrn pay for it for the next 2 days. You are very early days after finishing your treatment, just take one day at a time.

[@SecrePeach]

Mandy, I’m suffering from night sweats too……… get to a Pets at Home and get a gel cooling mat for dogs. They come in different sizes but are heavy so better to see and hold them. Go for the biggest you can and lay it in your bed from the knees down it’s an absolute game changer!

[@julieharding6631]

[@susanyates4233]

Mandy, cancer treatment is gross, and the effects are long lasting. I have to pace myself, even two years down the line, that plus my advanced years, has made life different. I do what I can, but still find a lot of things wipe me out. Best wishes from Susan in East Yorkshire.

[@lyndamiller2623]

❤❤ Mandy you’ve certainly been put through the wringer..really take it easy and give your body chance to recover..enjoy the planes, take care xx

[@Space_cadet0007]

Hi Mandy I’ve been watching all your videos on your cancer treatment and I’ve commented on a couple, I’ve had the same treatment as you and finished my last brachytherapy treatment last Wednesday. I’m sorry you haven’t been too good with side effects but please rest as much as possible. I know it’s easy to think once treatment is over you can do everything you used to do but you still have much healing to do and you cannot run before you can walk as your body is quick to remind you. You know what I have done this past week from treatment NOTHING so much nothing I have bum ache 😂 But by god do I feel better for it, I had a couple of days Friday and Saturday that were a bit awful with side effects but I’ve felt much better and more like my old self again, it’s been a long time since I’ve felt so good but I also know it’s deceiving and if I try and do more than my body can handle right now I’ll be back to square one again. Baby steps Mandy one small step each day or even every few days don’t push too much you will get there when your body is ready Give yourself time ❤❤

[@unadventurousmandy]

Thanks lovely ❤️❤️ I’m glad you’re feeling better by taking it easy, I will learn one of these days

[@hallaboard8154]

You really are an inspiration Mandy. How you hold it together when you’re tired and in pain, have the pressure of an outside job plus find time to tell us lot what’s been going on is nothing short of miraculous to be perfectly frank with you. 🫶🏻 Thank you. I appreciate what you do/have done. Love to you both & hugs of course. Look after yourself and see you on the next one. Liz ❣️xx

[@carolinebutterworth5563]

You certainly look better at the end of the video, small steps every step getting you closer to back to how you were, you probably could do without the complication of the menopause but that won’t last too long fingers crossed it does have an end date thankfully. Getting out and about a bit will help with recovery and mood, looking forward to seeing your future adventures. Take care , but most of all enjoy.

[@sallydavis1345]

Sounds as if you have been having a hard time but by the last of the video, you were yourself and smiling and feeling better. I am sure these things take time and we just want things to be back to normal immediately. Each day should be better . I think by driving and having plans will help. At least for me, I like to have something to look forward to. Praying for a better week for you and some fun for you and John as you watch the planes.

[@traceystickland-mottram8021]

Oh Mandy, your body has been through a big trauma with all the treatment. Pacing isn't easy when you start to feel better and it's so easy to overdo it. Take lots of mini rest breaks and don't be so hard on yourself ❤

[@LillianHenegar]

Sweetie, please follow your body - stay on top of the pain, rest, rest, rest, rest. It's going to be a while before you're back to (so-called) normal. Give yourself time. The fact that the radiation continues to do its bit after treatment stops really did me in (and I didn't have radiation where you did!). Again, rest, rest, and keep asking for help from your medical team.

[@bronniepaterson4694]

Just rest and do what you feel like doing when you feel able enough…. Sleeping and resting are really important to recovery…and especially drinking lots of water.. Food isn’t so important but fluids are…… Stop being Mandy who pleases everyone else and concentrate on pleasing Mandy.. As said before…Let John do things now and then…it’ll make him feel helpful …. You do look well,if a bit tired……Take care…literally….👍🇬🇧

Hot flushes post-cancer treatment are no joke! I actually had to buy a waterproof mattress protector to save my mattress. It sounds bizarre, but I kept a pair of very slightly damp socks in a ziplock bag in the fridge. Putting them on instantly cools your feet which very quickly helps to cool the rest of you.

Listen to your body and rest when you need to. It will help you heal. Also get yourself a Pet cooling mat to sleep with. Drape it on yourself or put it under your pillow and upper back. Gamechanger for hot flushes!
