Re: For ALL Not Diagnosed Newbies: Imaging & Common Symptoms FAQs
Hi @grammy2be, Unfortunately imaging can't tell whether a suspicious area is malignant or not. The radiologist whose job is reading MRIs called it "indeterminate" meaning he doesn't know the answer to your question.
Waiting for the biopsy and then the result seems to take forever. Try to stay busy to distract yourself since there is nothing you can do about what the biopsy will show. I hope it turns out to be benign. All the best for a good outcome.
Re: eye (ocular) metastasis - a rare location for metastatic breast cancer
Thank you @tougholdcrow. Good to know a dose reduction could help. And a pause to starting back on protocol. I go through periods feeling like I just want give up but reading everyone’s comments and stories gives me hope. I'm a single mom to a 14-year-old a cat, a four-year-old mini Labradoodle and a 12-year-old Boston Terrier/Pug cross. Given my high risk for recurrence (of which unfortunately happened) I knew when I got my youngest dog there was a risk I may not outlive him. Never in a million years would I have thought I might not outlive my older pets 😥. People tell me of stories of women living well for years on CDK 4/6 inhibitors. After the horrendous first cycle, I fear I won't live months even. Hopefully a dose adjustment and a pause in treatment until I feel recovered from rads and cycle 1 of Kisqali will make the treatment bearable so I can continue to love and care for my fur babies as long as possible.

If the path be beautiful, let us not ask where it leads.
Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
There are flood warnings in 40% of Wisconsin counties. The Mississippi River at La Crosse will peak on Saturday at 7:00 am, 3 tenths of a foot under official flood stage. There is a park across the street from where I used to live that floods regularly. It is actually dual purpose, as a flood plain and a park. I am sure it flooded.

homeymoonkaminiski - a warm welcome. I hope you will pop in and join the conversation as often as possible.
Taco - glad to hear your daughter’s surgery is finally scheduled both for her sake and yours.
Chris - are you having any flooding? I keep hearing about the Wisconsin, Wolf and Fox Rivers overflowing in central Wisconsin. Good luck with the Keto diet.
Cindy - thanks for the suggestion to use nasal spray. Not sure why I didn’t think of it. I only used it for two nights and it did help. I seemed to have shared the cold with DH and we are both feeling kind of run down. I did manage to get out on my first bike ride of the season on Monday. Got in a little over 7 miles, so I have a ways to go to reach my goal of 15 miles.
Betrayal - 90 degrees! Holy cow. It’s way too early for that. We’ve been in the 70’s and humid. We reached 80 on Tuesday. I was hoping for a bit cooler spring.
Waving ‘hi’ to all.
