@mara51506 Glad that the floor and toilet are done. What a relief!
Re: I say YES. YOU say NO....Numero Tre! Enjoy!
McConnell has supposedly been "making phone calls" from his hospital bed to assuage rumors that he is brain dead. But these would be so easy to deep fake, and GOP credibility is in the absolute gutter. It's hard to commit belief to anything.

@livinglifenow Re the CT scans, I'm thinking that because they were taken primarily to monitor my lungs for ILD, all 4 of them were chest/upper abdominal scans that didn't catch enough of my lower abdomen to see that the adrenal tumor was still there.

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.

Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
@l1ttlec Back to your insomnia comment (yes, it has taken me awhile!) I have terrible insomnia from all of my treatment. It is a known Side Effect. I do have a prescription, Restoril (temazepam) that I take when I know I have something the next day and have to be alert otherwise I can't sleep much even if I have not napped during the day. Since I have been in treatment for over ten years it has taken me a while to get to this place. My PCP told me I could take it every night, but I try not to. My PA told me I can alternate with over-the-counter Unisom, but it makes me groggy the next day. Melatonin is supposed to help but it does nothing for me. Do discuss this with your doctor and find something that works as it is important to get sleep.
Re: Ribociclib/Kisqali with Letrozole - Any one on this combo?
Hi @tougholdcrow ,
Your Camino sounds wonderful 😎 we can't wait to hear all about it! Six days on the Camino del Norte is quite an adventure. Would love to hear details.
And oh no about the tick! What a nuisance, and scare, especially while you're training. We're glad you're getting it checked out right away, and we're hoping it's just a minor detour and you'll be back to your walks soon.
Please keep us posted on both the urgent care visit and your Camino adventure. We'll be rooting for you! 💗
Re: Navigating Navelbine
Still on Navlebine here too, since February of this year. I get it via IV infusions into my port on a 3 week cycle. Week 1: See Oncologist, get Navelibine infusion and herceptin. Week 2: Just Navelbine. Week 3: Off from navelbine. Then it repeats. The only "pre-meds" that I receive are basic fluids. I've had a pretty easy time with it. No major side effects from my end to report. I am also on 4mgs of steroids a day to help keep my brain mets symptoms controlled, so that may also happen to br helping keep any side effects from Navelbine from popping up (like fatigue). It has kept me stable from the neck down since I started it, so for me, it has been a good drug. I wish you the best of luck on it too!

Love the fabrics and colors and designs. It looks quite cool and I need that for Florida for the next rest of the year.

mcbaker My mother and her older sister were both seamstresses. My aunt did alterations for one of the large department stores in Pittsburgh. Mum made a lot of my clothes before she was diagnosed. I still remember one dress in particular. I’m sure she would have made so many clothes for my kids. Unfortunately I didn’t inherit that talent. Your clothes look wonderful. That is such a talent to have! 😊
