Re: So...whats for dinner?
5 minutes from a costco…green with envy. I'm sorry for your DH's jaw pain.
We hit 80 yesterday…and may have 77 today before getting back to the 60s. Grateful that at least, we don't have mosquitoes near our house. I'd have to put netting on in WI to mow the lawn. Also grateful our heatpump works..last year's fiasco is always in the back of my mind.
3 day fishing starts tomorrow and then August 1st, open for 24/7 fishing. Hope my DH will be up to it. His "good" side of the jaw is starting to show issues.
Leftover spam yakisoba noodles. So easy and delicious.

Re: how about drinking?
Sorry I have been away for a while but I have been distracted by other things lately.

Re: Abemaciclib Verzenio for Stage IV
Shana - Re the Verzenio labs, I always have a couple lows like sodium and calcium, but like with you, there are never any major worries. I think that's routine from what I'm experiencing. I think some of the troubles I've had these past couple of weeks (gastrointestinal, lots of joint pain, fatigue) are from the shots I got almost 2 weeks ago now. Hoping for improvement now until the next round.
So glad you got to your neighborhood get together. Sounds wonderful! Nice that you got a "reserved" table. You were a guest of honor 😉. I hear you about just getting so sore from sitting that you have to get up and go too. Sounds like a nice day out all in all though.
Re: Triple Negative Stage IV
@rlschaller Oh you must feel a little weight bit of weight lifted knowing there is a plan in place. So we'll remain positive that this all comes together for you by the end of the summer.
Yes we can breathe a little! I'm hoping that maybe the nurse can encourage her to fight and be a little more compliant. In the end it's her life and she's 87 so she is tired, so I understand. It's in her hands and a higher being. We will just keep smothering her with love.
Hi to all here, wishing you a peaceful evening.

Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
@eleanora I called my dental office this morning thinking it would take weeks to get in, but they had a cancellation for tomorrow. I would rather get it done than fret about it, so in I go. Thanks for the encouragement.
@shanagirl Your posts are always so sweet. Thank you for thinking of everyone knowing all that you are going through! I echo your words of encouragement and love to all. This site is helps me hold on!
Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
Just saying hello to all. I've been absent for awhile. Not really sure just why. Maybe the weather, maybe just needed a break. Anyway I hope all are doing as well as possible and enjoying the summer. I haven't read back posts as of yet and I'm not sure I'll be able to get through very many, but will give it a go, gradually over the next few days.
Re: Bone Mets Thread
@sunnidays-When I had joint pain in my hand from letrozole, I started taking a ginger pill every day and the pain completely went away. Recently I have had hip pain due to arthritis. NSAIDS worked very well for me, both celebrex and Diclofenac. Now I am trying to get off NSAIDS. Last week I had a very helpful acupuncture treatment and the doctor also put me on Chinese herbals. My hip has improved quite a bit after only a few days. I would be very wary of a treatment break but can relate to your concerns about joint pain affecting our quality of life. IMHO, uncontrolled cancer has a worse impact on QOL.
Re: Stage IV MBC Fitness
@threetree , any extra movement is good. And I’m glad you decided to do the biopsy.
Today the Enhance Fitness instructor told me that I should do the balance exercises every day. I suck at the balance stuff . I think it’s the Xeloda’s fault

Re: Zoom Meet-up for Those With MBC: Place to keep chatting
@kbl thanks Kris, I got the chat abd was able to catch up a little on everyones progress, thanks a lot. Im sorry about your inability to eat much and all youre going through, and I pray that you get some occasional relief at least . My bloodwork was ok. But the Mammogram and Ultrasound showed a pea size lesion on that same breast. I'll get my Oncologists opinion on that today. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 love and hugs
