Best Of

@bighubs Thank you for your support.

@mkestrel Lovely tomatoes. One of my favorite snacks! Maybe I should try to grow them next year…

I just heard back from my MO on my scan from Monday. She just ordered an MRCP of my pancreas. She says it is not too concerning but she wants to rule stuff out. It looks like it is like an MRI… anyone else had that? I thought I had every scan type already! She also said everything else on my scan looks great. One more hoop…

shanagirl Congrats on your good news. I'm sure you felt instant relief on results and taking the drive once a year! Love chicken cutlets , since my DH's hear attack I use the air fryer and their pretty good.

Mara Glad you treated yourself to Mickey D's , hope it hit the spot!

goldens Happy to hear stable scans…yipee!

Hope all the ladies suffering with mouth sores have had some healing.

My daughter got engaged a couple nights ago and we are thrilled! They live at the shore so he proposed on the beach. He is a great guy and a nice family too. Both families celebrated together with a nice dinner. Will be fun to plan a wedding in the near future.

Hi to all here and I wish you a restful sleep tonight.

Shanagirl, good to hear your good news! 😊

I went to a massive landscape supply company today, where they have huge outdoor bins full of all different kinds and sizes of rocks - this is my idea of a good time, looking through rocks, lol! Beautiful weather, sunny with a breeze, and I picked out about 15 decent sized river rocks for my garden. Looked at all the cool stone fountains, too. Actually skipped a couple of times while meandering around the place, just felt so good to be outside in the sun.

Hello to all. It’s been a pleasant week, happy to say. we made the trip up to the in Breast Center in Paramus NJ. A surveillance Ultrasound and Mammogram to watch my LCIS in my my remaining breast. There is no suspicious mass, calcification or distortion. So everything was clear.. and al is good and I don’t have to go back until next August.

Hi @sondraf I was following your posts and I hope you will have some peace of mind as change your treatment tactic with your MO. Sending positive vibes and good wishes to you along with prayers.🩵🙏

@irishlove trying to understand and second guess radiologist’s interpretation of scans is frustrating..

@cookie54 Hey Jersey, ending jersey shore vibes to you🥰

@sunshine99 Sorry ro hear you are struggling so much with eating issues. Holding you up in prayer.

@micmel and @goldensrbest It is hard to watch others travel. My kids want to do a Christmas cruise but I just told them no for me. I can't even imagine a long flight then seven days of constant activity on a large ship and a long flight back home. No more cruises for me. I need no stress and a restful environment. For me that means home. And yes, I read daily. My son has amazing in-laws who are able to do things with his three sons that I long to do. But I am happy they have this experience with great people. It does make me cry…

@irishlove Glad your DH will continue to get more help but sorry he is still fighting.

Still fighting so much fatigue. I did get out yesterday to order new glasses and eat lunch out. We just have to push through. I agree with Mel that I am in a state of constant funk. And I look around me at the myriad of things I need to do and try not to get depressed about it. It is what it is!

@mkestrel good luck with that PET - Everolimus was a total beast for me that appeared to be working the first month with a drop in tumor markers but had a wicked sting in its tail with that lung pneumonitis. I hope your sores clear up soon and your scan is good though, and you can survive without bread for a bit (look up keto bread for an approximation although it may be more hassle than its worth!)

@micmel I hear you on the funk of always sitting or laying down and rarely leaving the house. It gets to me every day at a certain point (usually before pain pills are due) and I get upset to varying degrees. Lately Ive come to accept it a bit more, but I still struggle with letting hubs do so much for me.

I dont think we are going to travel out of the country again until I have a more functional leg and then it will be to Europe mostly (via train) and for longer than a 'long weekend'. Maybe Asia. Anywhere I dont have to fear a giant medical bill if I get ill but we can park somewhere quiet and restful by a beach. Hubs is going home alone end of September to Sweden because it was a tough trip in the best of times, even worse now I can barely move and all the flight delays and malarky, its just not worth it no matter how much I would love to go. I dont mind, and he can book as cheap a hotel as he wishes lol.

Edit - Can anyone point me to the main Enhertu thread? There are so many, but I think the main one WenninWI was posting in recently and I cant seem to find it. Thanks!

Hang in there ladies. You've got lots of folks quietly rooting for you all.

Your supporters get in a funk too, but I know it's different and probably not comparable to what you all go through.

I find some truth and solace in the lyrics of an old, not very popular Emmylou Harris song called Red Dirt Girl. "One thing they don't tell you bout the blues when you gottem, you keep on fallin cause there aint no bottom."

I hope those of you who are currently fallin do find the bottom and start rising back up.
