Pammy
Here's extra prayers coming your way, I am up late too,(as always) although appts. tomorrow are looming for me to. I know what you mean, YOU know how your body should feel, and it's not feeling right, seems to me 5 weeks is too long of a time to still have trouble just walking.. The GYN said it's out of her scope, but did she say then where to go next ? Seems like she is dropping the ball instead of passing it on to someone who's capable of fixing this problem. Can you make a bed in the car for the trip and be more comfy ? I have started doing that and am usually able to sleep my 1 1/2 hr to rads, or whatever other appt. I have, long distance doctoring really sucks, I got behind with my radiation treatments due to other health issues cropping up, heart problems, sciatic nerve problems not really related to bc and yet somehow seemed to be brought by it. Ativan has helped me.
We must keep fighting this bc beast, I have been prescribed ativan and that seems to be slowing me down some so I can cope for the time being. For my pains in back and leg sciatic I have yet to find one that does not make me feel worse that I already do, so I do alot of walking off the pain. On the way home from appt. I usually require a shake, malt, iceream of something. Also nausea medication seems to help if taken l hr before my trip starts.
Loads of luck and prayers coming your way all nite long

Thanks for all the well wishes and I was happy just to see you post! My goodness, you also have quite a few other issues to deal with too. I know sciatica can be very painful (my hubby suffers sometimes)and I feel for you on that one!
My GYN did say she would have to refer me to a another surgeon, but wasn't even able to touch me when I was in there because I was too painful and still swollen. So she is trying to determin if in fact she can feel something so we can proceed. She did mention I need to heal first as my body will not take another surgery too soon. I say my body won't take feeling this way too much longer!!
My hubby has decided he doesn't like her now, but I pointed out that she did a great job 4 years ago when she did my hysterectomy. The reason I chose to go back to her for this part. I do think she may have gotten in over her head when she ran into too many problems, but what are you going to do? Can't leave me half cut up!!
I am talking to Onc about antidepressant and sleeping pills. I think after 6 months, I am worn out and giving in. Time for a boast.
I hope all goes well for you tomorrow. I do have to put a pillow between me and the seatbelt, so maybe lying down isn't such a bad idea!! And ice-cream is a definite!!
I'll be thinking about you tomorrow....hugs and smiles ♥Pammy0 -
Hi Pammy.
I am sorry to hear your feeling so bad.Like you I have a Dr. appointment.And a hour drive to get their.I am meeting the radiation Dr. today.And getting cat scan to be marked for treatment starting tomorrow.And I am still breaking out in hives from the chemo allergic reaction.And it would have to be on my breast where I had surgery,I am hoping she will give me something to get rid of the rash once and for all.It itches like crazy.It is much better but 2wks. of itching is no fun.I woke up every hr. on the hr. so i just got up around 5.00.I will be ready for sleep tonight i hope.You mention sleeping pills,when going through Chemo I had to take them. It is so worth it to get a good night sleep.I didn,t take oe last night ,I knew I had to get up early.Well I pray you get good news today.Take care.Prayers are with you.(Pat).0 -

Oh Pammy I'm praying right now that you get some resolve. I'm so sorry that you are having so much pain and discomfort. Please remember that when we feel we cannot endure another thing, He somehow always provides that door. I'm going to be a prayer warrior for you today!
I didnt realize that there are a few of us who travel 1 1/2 hours for our onc and treatment. I pray that 1 1/2 hour ride is an easy ride for you today. God bless You!0 -

walking .. I hope and pray it is due to treatments plus surgery .. Your poor little body is healing, at a slower pace than normal. Pain and discomfort walking is not normal is my book, but what do I know.
I hope and pray that your 1 1/2 drive goes quickly for you with little discomfort.
I too am seeing my Onc today .. for my 4th TCH treatment and here I am in Califorinia .. woke up at 3:30 a.m. cold, wet and sweaty .. due to hormones. Took another shower, and can not fall back to sleep. I am also anxious, as I know what my next 8 to 10 days will be like. Ugly week, as I call it.
Good luck with everything and I truly hope you can get the information you need.
Blessings and strength,

I was awake all night, but hubby woke up and we talked and just realized I was not going to sleep. Hope all goes well with you today...heading out the door! ♥Pammy0 -
Pammy, I'm sorry you're still not doing well.
I hope your visit today gets some relief or at a minimum answers for you. This road definately sucks that we're on but seems to be even more trying for you. I'll wait to hear how your visit went and wishing you a safe and tolerable trip. Sending a gentle hug your way!!0 -

Pammy, here's hoping the trip goes well, and that your pain will be relieved soon. I can't imagine what you are describing, and know there must be something that can be done to help you heal. I would insist on a referral if your GYN isn't able to help you. Good luck, and let us hear how things are going after you return home. Hugs.

Awwwwwww Sweetie~ you are such a precious member of our family, always encouraging others with your loving, empathetic,funny and smart insight. Now it's our turn to return the favor. We all send you every good wish, and strength to help you get to the "whatevers" are causing your healing to be slower than expected. If Good Wish and Strength were only an ice cream flavor you would have this licked! ( pun very much intended!)
Keep us posted, and feel the love from all of your sisters here on the boards.
Hugs,

Take care,

I am so sorry that
Oh Pammy,
I am so sorry that all is not going well for you. You are already on the road so I won't give any advice right now. I just hope that whoever you see today checks this out at least. Friday is a long way off when you are in pain. When I had my hysterectomy my incision split open and I got an infection. They had to pack it and for weeks I had to have a home care nurse come and remove and replace the packing and check it. It delayed my rads by a few weeks but they weren't going to start if it wasn't totally healed. I hope that you haven't split anything inside. It could be adhesions. They can develop quickly and are extremely painful.
My Prayers are that they resolve this and I prescribe ice cream, lots of ice cream. Big cyber hug to you.

Pammy, waiting to hear how it went for you today. Sorry for all your problems and hope that better days are near. All our prayers go up for you and surely you will get relief soon. You deserve more than ice cream, make that a hot fudge sundae or banana split.0
