Lift me up today God and you beautiful women!!!
Today is my final radiation to the brain, 14 total. My face is a swollen mess (steroids) and my sleep has been off the charts....so wired. After the rad I will see my oncologist. I must admit I hate seeing him. He is a great doc but he thinks out loud and sometimes I need him just to SHUT UP! He is suppose to have the info…

Tea with friends!
Had a great time at tea with Linda (linpsu) and Canoegirl (Martha) today. I posted pictures on my expressions page. Linda and I met back in February and it was great to see her again. Both of us have more hair than we did then. This was the first time we met Martha. We had a great time and look forward to meeting them…

Can you ride the peach bus for just a little while Friday?
Just got news that a good friend's endometrial biopsy contained serous cells. They also know an ovary is enlarged. She will have surgery (hysterectomy, BSO, and staging) on Friday. As in breast cancer, there are different types of endometrial cancer, with serous cell being amongst the most aggressive. So, maybe you could…

I love my port !!!!
I know I've said this a bunch of times ... but I love my port! I could never have gone through chemo without it. I'm a real weenie when it comes to needles and the thought of poking and prodding looking for a vein almost made me pass out... just thinking about it. Anyhoooooo ... I've been having problems with acid reflux,…

Still dancin' with NED
Thank you ladies for the pink bus ride to the MO this morning. It was comforting to hear the rumble from the parking lot (and I don't mean the bus engine). Everything is good (what a relief). He's hoping that in a few years I'll be "considered" cured; but suggested that I try going back on the anastrozole. So I'm gonna be…

does 'mild' really mean 'mild'?
Hi. I am on TC (taxotere/cytoxan) chemo. Just had my second treatment. The nurses keep telling me that it is a mild form of chemotherapy. The first round wasn't bad at all. This time, I am having a much harder time getting through the exhaustion and bone pain. The sweating is worse and my mental state is worse. Is this…

I have arrived!!!!
Hello Ladies, I got here no problem. I actually quiet enjoyed the ride, my kitties were so good. I am somewhat settled and now am waiting to see if they will accept my offer on my new home. Keep your fingers crossed for me. On my way here, I had some very emotional moments. During my treatment I was desperately wishing to…

All going well…

I've been MIA but never stop thinking about all of you.
I took a nasty fall off the top step of my brick patio and ended up in the ER for 5 hours. My left arm and half of my mastectomy chest is black, purple & red. I had a hematoma in my arm so stopped taking baby aspirin. Thank goodness I didn't break anything. My thigh is bruised as well as low spine area. The ER dr think my…

Pull up the bus and pass the dance partner!
I had my mammo on May 20th and I'd like a dance with NED. It took a little bit longer to get the results because they were running behind and I didn't wait around for them to get caught up. And you guys that are drinking that yuky stuff for the booty cam, don't get it mixed up with the good stuff for the rest of us, OK?…

1st chemo treatment on Tues
Well, I saw my MO for the 1st time yesterday and he is awesome. He was informative and took time to answer all of our (DH and I) questions. He was very understanding with my concerns, especially with the child bearing issues. He has me taking 4 cycles (1 every 3 weeks) of T/C followed by years of Tamoxifen. I had my port…

See what happens when we travel on the Pink Bus together????
The GOOD news is ...after a long afternoon of breathing tests, results and comparisons with what is the norm and how I compared with them~ and a physician who actually spent 45 minutes with me~ his conclusion is my cough is NOT cancer related!!! Another reason to change oncologists? Upon checking the CT scan from March,…

Tykerb
Has anyone else been hearing the news about this drug? It is supposedly most effective on triple negative diagnoses when given in conjunction with Herceptin. Just wondering what anyone else has heard or experienced. I have e-mailed my MO about it. My PCP actually called me when he read an article. Bonnie

hi everyone, been so long
Never estimate the power of prayer. Another good dr report on Tuesday, he said my liver has been back to norma. I also met Lauara and she is a doll, so haopy and positive! and she loves Philly. We did not get time together, i had a ride in that day and he had to leave, but a hug and a kiss are enough for me.! Hope everyone…
