Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
Good morning. I'll be on my way shortly ( another super hot day ) to Mt. Vernon to get an X-ray. I have had a Medrol Pack ordered along with more muscle relaxants which I will pick up after the X-ray. While we are gone daughter Kate will give Lil' Red a bath. Despite flea meds he continues to itch and she thinks he needs a 'better bath soap' which she picked up last night.
I took a second muscle relaxer so hope it has kicked in. Had to sleep in recliner last night — ugg. But moving in bed just wasn't working well and while getting in and out was okay - it was just okay. My melatonin finally was able to kick in after I went to the chair.
Nothing planned around here today for sure. I will maybe be able to do cat boxes hopefully with the second pill. Hope so, They have been so easy, but were the thing that caused my issue — I tried to empty both boxes into one garbage bag and it was too heavy although in my defense, didn't seem like it would be. Anyway, as mentioned, the boxes are really easy now —bonus points — any #2 is dried out before I remove it and all # 1 powders. The box stays VERY clean along with the scoopers — no smell and when most of the pellets are used then the box (still almost totally clean ) can be emptied ( quick wash and sanitized ) with refill and we are all set once more. So much quicker for the most part than when I was using Fresh Step or some of the other litters.
I may check in later…this is short but know you are all on my mind and I hope for you a safe, happy, and as cool as possible day for all. Petite — Congrats in order for you. I hope you are going to sooo enjoy your new part-time home. Sounds fantastic.

Good day to all. I'm checking in late. Did a bunch of work this a.m. after quotes and went a bit far. I'm icing my lower back for my troubles hoping it takes. Sure don't want the Medrol pack if I can help it. A great case of I was going to do things differently and then changed my mind. Usually your first impulse can be the better one. Wanted to hurry so put too much waste in one bag — thinking it was going to be all right — nope.
Otherwise, another warm day with a very very small breeze. Like yesterday — in the shade for short periods, tolerable — but stay out of the sun. Glad you were able to do your filling quickly and get back to normal. Just hope results are not too difficult for your skipping the stim and icing you usually do after PT. Good that this issue came up in your lager PT stages.
I hope you all have a great day. You are all in my thoughts.
Re: So...whats for dinner?
Minus, I’ve never had strawberries in sour cream dipped in brown sugar. I’ll have to try that.
Carole, Good veggies make such a difference to the taste of coleslaw.
Dinner tonight was fish and chips for DH and shrimp tortellini for me from the hospital cafe. My meal was heavy on the shrimp, really tasty and only $8.00. It made up for trekking around in the 103* heat.
Re: Looking for others with low risk, less than 2cm, IDC stage 1 grade 1HR+ HER2- on endocrine therapy
I was diagnosed with Stage 1, grade 2. 11 mm tumor. I had a lumpectomy and 5 accelerated radiation treatments. Nodes were negative as well. I was perimenopausal at the time of diagnose. I have since had a full hysterectomy. I had that about 4 months after. I started tamoxifen and still on tamoxifen. My oncologist plans to keep me on tamoxifen for another year and switch to an AI. I have not had any real problems with it. I do get leg cramps and my joints hurt a little in the morning, but nothing that I can't deal with.
Both my Ki67 and oncotype was low.
