Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
@irishlove - Oh Irish, I am so sorry to hear about what's going on with you. Not fair! I sure hope the doxicycline does the job. No need for any apologies whatsoever. I understand wanting to keep up with posts, but sometimes it's just not easy or possible. I've not been able to keep up with posts when I've had far less going on than you do. Please just take it easy, take care of yourself as best you can, and maybe get a second opinion or something? I agree, it seems like perhaps they should have kept you initially. I'm in your pocket for sure, Irish, thinking of you with fingers crossed. Get well soon!
@candy-678 - Yes! A good report - good news indeed!
Re: Stage IV MBC Fitness
Glad you had a great trip. Always appreciate the wisdom in your comments.
I'm not walking anywhere or riding the stationary bike, as I'm dealing with a bad bout of diverticulitis. Fed up with my current G.I. docter. Seeing a new one on Tuesday. I need this resolved!

Love the photo. I think it lowered my blood pressure and anxiety levels.
In your pocket for Monday.
My scans are on Thursday. Always waiting for that other shoe to drop!

@micmel
so sorry to hear about Gabby's chemo ordeal and your struggles with pain. I know that you don't need a new chore, but is it possible to find another medical doctor? Is this your primary care doctor? Perhaps a palliative care doctor would be more helpful.
thinking of you both .

Classic Weesa post! You are the reason I finally quit lurking and started posting. I think I've told you that before. Thanks for being here.
Re: Stage III Cancer Survivors .... 10+ Years and Out
I was waiting for my annual mammogram, happily back at BRRH and its women's institute, now in its luxurious new quarters. I realized - it's ten years ago almost exactly that I got my original diagnosis. All was well today - state of the art 3D images and all. Sending good thoughts to you all, wherever you are on your unwanted journey.
Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
Sea day. Had a facial and love them. Bought a package of 3, so one more to go. Don't do mani-pedis, so this is my self-care treat now that I no longer get hair frosted. Mother nature took care of that for me.
Missed yesterday's excursion on El Salvador due to sketchy tummy. I've had this off and on since we flew to Seattle, but this is the first i had to miss something. Had to apply gentle pressure to get a refund, since their policy of 48 hours notice is not something I could predict. Asked if I saw ship's doctor as well and that's a hard no. Explained situation to agent who then spoke to her manager who gave refund. DH said trip which was listed as moderate exertion was actually quite grueling with some returning to the bus almost immediately. Chances are I wouldn't have made it anyhow. My left knee is just about 6 months out, but still not where it will be in 6 more months.
Taco, thanks for missing the quotes. I will resume them in November on my return. Hope your DD's well doesn't run dry.
We are heading to Costa Rica for next port of call and have an excursion planned. DH exploring cruises for 2027 already.
Waving "hi" to everyone. Hope everyone has a great day.

Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
was a palliative care doctor. Going to change. Just a farther drive which I hate. Gabbie is trying so hard. She has her expanders in and they are not comfortable at all. She’s waiting for recon. Thanks for caring guys. Love to all

Mel - I’m so sorry your new doc cut your pain meds. Some of them are clueless. Sending loads of legos for her to walk on. Keeping you and Gabby in prayer. You are the best momma🫶🏻
