Happy Thanksgiving!
I haven't been here as much as I would like to be, but life has a way of happening, doesn't it? I am a primary caregiver of an elderly parent, and between taking care of her and subbing part time, my time is at a premium! Anyway, I think if all if you and want to wish all my sistahs a very Happy and safe Thanksgiving!…

Black Friday
I'm just wondering how many of you are Black Friday shoppers? I worked in retail management for many years and avoid shopping this weekend with a passion. Even with that experience, I can't manage to finish my own holiday shopping till the week before Christmas. And I still thank my lucky stars that I don't have to be out…

Thanksgiving tradition
Every year, my family creates a 'thankful book'. Each member of the family gets a page, and we write what we are thankful for in that year. When the kids were little, they told me what to write or drew pictures. It is one of the highlights of Thanksgiving to go back to previous years and read what we wrote. This year will…

Another Armidex side effect
I went to my internist last week and had my annual exam. I got a call from his nurse yesterday informing me that I will be started on Zocor for high cholesterol. I was shocked since I had my cholesterol checked a little over one month ago. I have never had high cholesterol and my good cholesteral that my doc said he would…

taken to court...don't they know you can't get blood from a turnip??
I'm being sued by my dentist's office! I have to go to small claims court in a week and a half. I'm behind a total of 3 payments, and the total amount I owe them is less than $1,000. The thing that really gets me is, I never got anything from them before I got the summons. A bill collector called me after my 2nd payment…

I received so much more than an ornament!
OK, so I get the box, and I think this is kinda big and heavy for an ornament...what pretty paper...surprised the post office didn't mess it up...I carefully opened it...and out poured so much love and care! With the love and care were several ornaments, each of them truly beautiful. My favorites are the feather painted by…

39 years old yesterday diagnosed with DCIS
I got the call yesterday that the microcalcifications showed DCIS , I am going to the surgeon today. It has all happened so quickly from having a mammogram two weeks ago to having three biopsys and Monday a sterotactic. The radiologist said it will be OK but I am still very scared. Can I just ask you all to pray for me and…

Another sleepless night....
Any idea how the long steroids stick with you? Third night in arow that I can't sleep.... I'm taking 16mg. of dexamethason total each day- the day before, day of and day after treatment. The last two nights I got about three hours sleep each night, tonight is looking like the same. I really like my sleep, but it sure…

Gobble, gobble...thanksgiving...free range and no hormones...just like me!
Thanksgiving has taken on a renewed meaning for me this year. I wanted to thank all the ladies and the few gentlemen too for the collective wisdom that is preserved here. This site is so much richer and ultimately valuable by the contributions and shared insights of all that visit. When I was first diagnosed I googled…

bug bite
Around 4 weeks after chemo somekind of bug bit me underneath my arm pit. I freaked out cahnged sheets, vacummed room from top to bottom Thought it bedbugs. Even bought a new mattress Nothing anywhere in house Nothing in kids rooms. Well the bites are not healing. Is it because Chemo destrowed white boold cells to heal cuts…

My final chemo postponed 2 weeks!
I went to my cancer center and had the blood work done. All set for my final chemo. My oncologist didn't like the fact that I still had laryngitis after 2 weeks and am still coughing (9 weeks today). Plus, because I was running a fever for several days while on antibiotic he felt it best to postpone my chemo for 2 weeks.…

Another wonderful new experience today...breast MRI....and I broke the computer...ROFL!
So, THIS is an interesting test...lol!!! Especially for me, who can't raise my arms above my head for very long because of a 'frozen' shoulder... And then, after many minutes of banging...silence....then the voice of the tech comes on and says "Now I need to reboot the computer, it has developed a glitch...just lie still…

Chemo #3
Next Tuesday, Nov. 30th is my #3 Chemo treatment. Feeling good this week. Only doing one thing each day, going slow; slow and careful, stopping when needed to rest. Some days can't do anything so taking advantage of these good days. Dread the side effects but am happy to be on #3. My fingernails seem to be turning purple…

Ladies....when hair comes back...oh boy!
So, I have a pretty decent rug on top. Probably 1/2" all around, but it doesn't stick up in little pokes anymore. There's enough to lay flat. Good. Now, my nose hair just sprung up, and it's longer than my head hair. Arm pit hair is there too. Those 3 chin hairs have had babies. My face is fuzzy. Help....I'm turning into a…

It's in the mail!!!!
Pardon my excitement, but I am the queen of procrastination and to have mailed my ornament before Thanksgiving -- well, it's just so unlike me. So, my special person, when you get your package from sunny California, open it!! For one thing, it needs water. Yes, I sent you a hamster!! Happy Thanksgiving to all -- I carry…

Anyone have a reaction to Zofran?
I don't think I can tolerate it. Yesterday was a HORRIBLE day. Couldn't get a hold of myself. Felt out of body! Thinking it was the nausea med??? Today I feel about 75% better.

Excellent book--MUST read!
Go get Waking the Warrior Goddess! Written by Dr.Christine Horner, it is not "New Age-y" as it sounds but is full of very well-researched information about how to live during and after cancer. Based on the concept that "food is medicine" it reminds us to eat organic and local whenever possible to avoid the devastating…
