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!

Re: So...whats for dinner?
What a night and day….I swear a tornado touched down, but maybe it was just horrific winds. Lost power at 1am and just got it back an hour ago. Amazed that the duck breasts arrived this morning, frozen and safe.
DH had a fall this morning…recovering OK. I spent the morning crying… so far, 2 pills under his belt.
I used my butane stove to heat up canned chili for lunch. Maybe frozen pizza for dinner tonight; I made nachos last night.

Re: Bone Mets Thread
Shana girl, it has been 8 years since my original LCI and they did lumpectomy and Arimidex for 5 years. So it’s 8 years between. Is that soon? What is a liquid biopsy? Is that the genetic testing he did my last visit? I know I will become more familiar with all of this…..and thank you for the quick response. I’m a little nervous about tomorrow, and glad radiation helps the pain. Thank you everyone ❤️

Re: Bone Mets Thread
oh thank you for getting back to me. I go for my first radiation consult tomorrow morning so hopefully we can get this ball rolling. Even pain pills don’t seem to help but I meditated and it has calmed down thank goodness. I had it yesterday and today. Hopefully it will stay manageable. Thank you for sharing your sternum story.

Re: Newly diagnosed with bone mets
I am going to first radiation meeting tomorrow and hopefully will be starting radiation soon. This morning I woke up to a stabbing pain in my sternum which has been coming and going. Had it yesterday when I was at pain management appt. Has anyone ever had this sharp pain in their sternum and what do they do for that? Does radiation help? I am in so much pain medicine and this pain in my sternum scares me. It comes and goes. Thanks guys.❤️🙏 I guess my history not showing up with my name, so I am just diagnosed with stage 4 BC that has gone to my ribs, sacrum, spine and I have many pinched nerves in many places so they are going to do epidural in a few weeks. It’s been 8 years since originally getting breast cancer. I have to find out how to fill out profile properly, I apologize. I am also on Tamoxin.

I just learned about Beckie passing. So sorry to all her family and friends. She was an incredible person who was a light in this world. She will be greatly missed!

Re: How are people with liver mets doing?
@threetree Thank you for taking the time to write all of this. I haven't had that specific conversation with a specialist surgeon but my oncologist agrees with what you said. I have been summoned to see my oncologist Friday morning probably to discuss changing treatment since I now have progression in both liver and bones. I have no idea what she will say.
Re: How are people with liver mets doing?
Three tree, thanks for the info although it is discouraging to hear. Xeloda was my first treatment and after two months I was so dizzy it was discontinued. Pharmacy said it’s a side effect for 4% of patients. I’m currently on Doxil.
