Best Of

My friend that I spoke of with MBC, and was put on Hospice, died today. She was diagnosed MBC in 2007 or 2008. Bone-only for several years. Went to liver in 2019 or so. Went on Hospice July 20 and gone July 30. POA told me her last scans a month ago were stable. I am still unsure what went wrong, but it doesn't matter now. May she Rest in Peace.

Mara Well yea that is weird with the fridge but glad it's cool now! Glad your infusion went well and your weren't too hot traveling there. Looking forward to Friday here when we get a break in this humidity.

Threetree Glad that's behind you now and it's definitely something we all would like to avoid! Hope they are able to gather some good info from it.

mkestrel Wow what beautiful scenery, glad you were able to enjoy a little camping.

So the eye saga continues, now my MO want me to see an neuro opthamologist.I guess she's being super cautious but honestly who feels like adding another doc to my list. It was only one episode but I guess I will make an appt to be safe. I'm sure I won't get in for months anyhow. Hope you all are having a decent day and have a peaceful evening.

@cookie54 You won't believe it because I don't believe it but after clearing out and throwing out the contents, I shut the fridge and now it is cool. If it works good but skeptical so all eggs and a bunch of cheese and condiments are gone. Sigh, will still let the property manager come, I have Herceptin tomorrow, just been a depressive day between the fridge and not seeing DB again.

Fridge is still cool as of this morning, they are scheduling a techinician to come, unsure when. May email back advising of my Herceptin appointment. Fridge looks sad after disposing of the spoiled food but that is OK, someone will check it and I will call for groceries. I think my cats somehow got the door open so perhaps the seal needs fixing.

Herceptin is Today, washing up some stuff to wear, think I will wear the pink shirt, got a couple of washers going for that. Wee washer for the new shirt, think I will go for the pink one.

No idea about food other than a frozen meat pie or two, I will have to see, all food left is in the freezer not defrosted. I can also see chicken and rice, chicken from a can of course and various dry seasoning, Option two is the chicken and rice but boil up the rice in diced tomatoes and a tsp or two of garlic powder. I will see.

Hope all have a good day, in pockets for anyone who needs me.

@mara51506 - What a terrible experience with your fridge. I'd cry too if I had all that you had to deal with re your fridge and brother and sister-in-law absences. Sending a hug and hope all is working out, even if gradually.

@cookie54 - Thanks so much for the good wishes re my liver biopsy. I really appreciate them.

@mkestrel - What beautiful pictures! Thank you for posting them. That must have been so nice to spend that time there for those few days. I can only wish. I'm also always struck by how much your area looks similar to some parts of Washington also. Just lovely.

Well I got through the liver biopsy. Everyone was very nice, but it was not particularly pleasant and I would not want to have to do it again. I hope none of you ever have to do it either; don't wish it on others any more than myself. I did feel a lot of the poking and prodding and the sedation really made me feel bummed out through the whole thing. I just kept feeling like I just didn't want to be there and why were they doing this and why were they doing that, and I thought they said it wouldn't hurt, etc. I expected pretty much what I had had with a bone biopsy over 2 years ago, but it was different and they swear they gave me the same drugs. Then I realized that the bone biopsy had been in anticipation of starting the Verzenio and Faslodex, i.e. I wasn't taking it yet. With this biopsy, I've got the Verzenio and Faslodex in my system and am wondering if that made a difference. Not in terms of a dangerous interaction, but just in the overall experience; so much more fatigued too, in addition to that real downer feeling the drugs gave me. Oh well. Actually, I don't have any real ongoing pain, just a little "day after" soreness, and there are no signs of any complications, so things went well in that regard, and I am glad for it. Many thanks to all of you who wished me well. I took your good wishes with me, and I know they helped and even though this is all "virtual", and not in person, I didn't feel nearly as alone as I would have if I didn't have everyone here.

I was able to go camping for several days. It was nice and cool up there.
