Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
@intolight and @threetree I wish I could give you a hug right now with all you're going through.
Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
Mara - prayers continue for you and your DB & SIL. We never know what others are going through….. Hopefully things will fall into place for you as you get prepared for surgery.
Pocket duty for all
Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
@mara51506 In your pocket this morning for your neuro appointment. Glad DB and SIL are going, it's always nice to feel family support around you no matter what the news is. Better to be prepared and packed then hopefully you won't need it. Nevertheless I'm so glad your appointment is before his break in January. You have been so patient waiting and it's been long enough. Sending positive vibes , prayers and hugs you way💕

Re: Bone Mets Thread
Hi all, I don't know what's bone pain or what's overuse or what's just post-exercise (bad form) pain. I'd say it all mostly comes and goes, so it's probably not cancer pain. There's a point where you get old and you have all kinds of aches and pains anyway, so I'm waiting to see if something is persistent over time. My heart goes out to all of you suffering any debilitating or lingering pain and to all of you in the early days of this wretched disease.
Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
Mara-Thanks for your update. Sounds like it all went pretty well. Glad you have a plan in place.
Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
Dearest Mara - prayers for you this morning🙏🏻🙏🏻. Special thanks for your DB & SIL for helping you.
Shanagirl - my MO just suggested I see my regular ortho doc. So I will plan to do that. In doing some research, it is possible for the ortho to repair the labrum tear through arthroscopy but the recovery is almost worse than a joint replacement. Requires weeks using crutches, which there is no way I could do that.
Prayers were answered - DHs pathology of 11 polyps came back benign. Thanks be to God!

People say satire is dead. It's not dead; it's alive and living in the White House.

Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
@mara51506 Sweet Girl So much you are facing and having to plan for. I know your SIL & DB will be a blessing for you standing by your side. You will be in my prayers today and because you are so much on my mind and in my heart I will light a candle for you when I come upstairs to my room tonight. This is my way of telling you that I will be in your pocket. I know how overwhelming it is to have so many appointments one after the other so close together and how they all connect with each test & follow Up and treatment. I remember how stressed I was during the summer for that reason. I tend not to cry easily, and just to one day at a time in my mind rather than allowing myself to feel the emotion of it all. Then if ‘m told something by the Dr. I break down and cry…I know for now you are holding everything in until you hear from your RO and Neurosurgeon what’s what and numbing yourself from feeling anything. The few days off from all of this will be a reprieve for you to rest your mind and body, so give into that…🩵😘
Re: I say YES. YOU say NO....Numero Tre! Enjoy!
Whether it's the best of times or the worst of times, it's the only time we've got.

@mara51506 So glad you were able to get some good solid sleep as your body is recovering. Hope the humidifier helps, I sleep with one every night helps me with the dry forced heat in my house.
@threetree It's nice to see you but I'm sorry to hear you still don't feel well! I can't imagine your frustration in trying to get to the bottoms of this.I hope they're right and it was electrolyte and magnesium levels that were off. Fingers crossed for extra strength and a return to feeling like yourself!
