Re: Anti-Cancer, a New Way of Life - Dr. David Servan-Schreiber
Netflix did a documentary about him. I have watched it several times and also got his book. That man spoke to me. When he died, I cried like a baby. He was inspirational.

Re: Are you currently (or have you been) in a Clinical Trial?
Thank you @eleanora
I think you're giving me too much credit as far as the research goes, but I will be a thorn in their side until I get the answers I need. If Talzenna kicks butt, then I can breathe a little easier, but I can't take it for granted and not be prepared for the next step. That's where I am now, and it's stressful as hell. C'mon Talzenna! Do your thing!

"What additional indignity does this disease have in store for me?" Gosh, I feel that!!
Between daily pain and continued hot flashes, I feel I'm suffering on an ongoing basis. Nothing I do really seems to help, other than taking medication 😒 as if my body isn't already a toxic waste dump from all the medical intervention due to treatment.
It's hard to stay positive sometimes. I really try... I'm grateful for the care and to be alive... but when I can't sleep, it just messes everything else up.

Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
Tippy? I had picked up some pet stairs at the side of the street a few months ago, knowing that Tippy is ageing, too. Only place I could put it was by my bedside table. This morning, he woke me up by walking over me. I obligingly rearranged the bedroom. Had been dreading the project, but no negative consequences, with platform bed and foam mattress. Now i have a two-drawer chest to get rid of.
I really was nervous about my bike spending the winter in the breezeway last winter. This winter it will be under a friend's deck. Sufficiently tarped, of course.

Medical transportation is taken care of, cab, and friends. I am hoping to be able to walk to church (.8 mile) regularly. I have some snow-pants. And electric hand-warmers. If I keep my hands in my pockets, it might work. Otherwise, take the splints off and wear my leather mittens.

Thank you, both Mandy and moderators. I appreciate the information.
Re: STEAM ROOM FOR ANGER
Gotta vent for a minute.
I am so tired of urinary urgency and accidents! I go through pads so often I should buy stock in Tena and Poise. Cuss word, cuss word, cuss word! The estradiol cream helps but only if I can use it every day. But my GP recommended using it less frequently because she saw signs of vaginal irritation.
What additional indignity does this disease have in store for me?
Re: How long have you been Stage IV?

Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
Hi ladies….Cant sleep. Gabbie has chemo tomorrow and I’ve got to be ready to be at the hospital early with her. It still upsets me. I hate it. It makes me so mad. My fiancé drives up to her place to pick her up at 730 am and drives her there. Then I come to relieve him at nine and then when she’s done he drives her home again. He’s gone to every chemo. He’s amazing. I don’t know what we would do without this amazing soul we’ve been gifted. The best man I’ve ever known. I hope it goes quick and I can get some sleep. I think about you all. Mkestral love the pics. Make me smile. Tanya. Seriously??? Wonderful photos and I hope you had a blast. Be safe everyone! Much love!
