thank you everyone so much, reading this makes me feel great !!!!

and as far as getting out of anything or being asked for anything, i ask others for help collecting blankets, cloth, and food for those in need.....it doesnt have anything to do with cancer it doesnt make me specail it just puts smiles on someone face....most the time i wear my wig i dont want them knowing i have cancer because i dont want them thinking i have other things to worry about....i love what i do and who i am.

i love cracking jokes with familly and friends that can handle it, im still trying to see if i can make it as mr. cleans wife yet or not LOL

 thanks again hugs and love hezzy

When going formal for an evening I was worried sick about hiding not only my prostheses, but my scar.  I didn't have tons of money after buying the gown.   I went to a local store and bought a strapless sports bra a size to small so it would be a bit tighter. 

It hid the scars, and held the prosthesis the night threw.   I love dancing and having fun.  Many people came up to me and they were shocked that it wasn't at all noticed.

Hope this helps and Congrads

I had pain in my shoulder for about two weeks that was constant and wouldnt go away.  I couldnt even describe what it felt like.  My ONC did a test and that was when I was dx with bone mets right there in that shoulder and another spot on the veterbra.

My ONC gave me a prescription for some mild pain killers and they work great.  Since treatment ( 1yr bone mets ) the pain had settled some. 

Hello, I am Heather.  I was 28 when dx a year ago.  I am now 29 years old.  Although there are other sites mainly for younger woman.  I prefer this one.  

I do about everything I can.  My daughter is only three years old and I have the fear that if things got worse she probably wouldnt ever remember what I look like.

 I keep two journals.  One for my battle with cancer and the other just writing anything that comes to mind.  I do silly things like little surveys.  They kids next door to me lost their father and when I talk to them they always wonder the simple things about him.  I do the surveys and print them and hold them in a folder.  Some have deep questions that need explained others are silly answers.

I write her letters constantly.  And write letters to my husband and other family.  Anytime I am feeling so good I cant control it or even the sad times I write it down.

Over the last few weeks I have worried myself sick.

My hip started to bother me and I wondered if bone mets had spread there.  The ONC sent me in for a bone scan.

Last weekend I noticed that my shoulder ( scabula bone w/ b-mets ) was bruised.  I called my ONC and hadnt heard back from him.  I had an appt Monday so I figured when I saw him Id give it to him for not calling me back and letting me worry all weekend.

(( i had bruising once before there after taking asperin but hadn't had asperin or pain meds for some time and was over worried going nuts ))

When I went in Monday I told him about my concerns and he didnt even seemed shocked.  He than told me that the bone scan showed nothing in the scabula bone or hip.  He said there was a very small amount shown in the lower vertebrae.   

I started screaming, laughing, and crying I was so happy.  Although the bone mets are still showing in the lower back it was still a relief to hear they didnt see them anywhere else.   It was the first time since I was DX that I have recieved good news.

I was scared I'd never see my three year old grow older, or my husband would disappear ( he's not her father but has been there since she was three months and done more than her father could imagine but the thoughts are there that if something went wrong my family would fall apart ))

For over a year I have worried about what the future will hold and cried myself to sleep.

For the first time in over a year.  I cried happy tears.  I will continue to pray and have hope.  Thank you for everyone that has helped me, listened, or prayed with me along the way.

HUGS HEATHER- HEZZY

All of us understand what its like to get tired.   I was dx this last year at 28 yrs old.  I have a young toddler and I constantly worry about her.  I dont come in this chat or bulliten room to often.  There are times  I do my best just to worry about everything but bone mets.

Its hard but keep your faith...there getting closer

Hello,

I take basic tylenal for the pain.  I was taking asperin for awhile and it turned the area around the bone black for days.  I wasnt aware at time that I shouldnt have it, but everyone is different.

The ONC gave me darvocet for when the pain increases or I have really bad days.  Thankfully I hardly use more than half.

Hugs

Heather
