The executive has no right, in any case, to decide the question, whether there is or is not cause for declaring war.

@Eleonora Thanks-I never thought of that! I'll check with him too if MO approves.

I researched vibration plates a while ago after seeing some research that they help with osteoporosis/osteopenia. I wanted to extend the time between Xgeva injections, as I have been on it for 3.5 years. I have only bone mets, but lots of them. My MO had no problem with it, but my prosthodontist did. I have several dental implants and he was concerned that the vibrations might loosen them. Chicagoan, you might want to check with your orthopedist regarding the potential impact on your hip replacement.

@aj I never thought of trying biofreeze. I'll keep that in mind.

Does anyone else feel like the clinic staff just reads from the corporate handbook when responding to a question or comment? Feeling nervous "Oh you've got a really good team" Feeling scared, anxious, uncertain about the unknown. "Oh the team here is really good." or "Oh, you have Dr. Fill-in-the-blank, he/she's excellent." I'm not sure what I expect them to say, but after the second or third time hearing it from different staff it just rings hollow.

I hate those leg cramps! Stretching does help. Sometimes I get up and smear biofreeze on my legs. It seems to help

We learn our virtues from our friends who love us; our faults from the enemy who hates us. We cannot easily discover our real character from a friend. He is a mirror, on which the warmth of our breath impedes the clearness of the reflection.

@intolight Is it bone pain or muscle pain. If bone, a claritin day before day of and day after treatment can make pain subside some with no interaction. Works with Taxol as well. I used to take it when I had the injections to build up white cell counts and that pain was terrible until told about the claritin.
@candy-678 I am so sorry to hear about your progression, in you pocket as the days go on to hear what you may be looking at treatment wise.
I just woke up, was in bed watching the videos on facebook and then drifted off. That is OK though. Need to set alarms Sunday and Monday as I have a CT scan Wednesday and MRI results Thursday. Then next week have a longer one day appointment with MO and Herceptin on the first of April. Once those appointments are done, 3 weeks off thankfully. I really don't like being so busy.
Not sure what to have today, out of lentils in the fridge but can check my pantry. The chefboyardee ravioli which I rinsed off since I do not like the tomato sauce worked out well with subsequent meals, they were a good additition to meals and leftovers. I did locate a can of lentils, got mostly black beans and other stuff. Thinking of putting together a grocery order once I go through my stuff, need more cheese and eggs.
Did put together the order, no junk food, cheese, eggs, sour cream, only got one yogurt but got 2 bananas, 3 cans of lentils, couple of meat pies and more tostitos queso. Got mini pot pies. Expensive, almost 60 bucks but can do without shopping for a couple of weeks. Did not buy enough to overstuff my pantry and none of the pantry items that are not needed. Couple of tostitios queso, sour cream are the most important.
Meal included some lentils, chickpeas and two eggs. I started by spraying the air fryer, put in some salad dressing at bottom, added two eggs and the chickpeas and lentils. Cooked in air fryer on high, stirred it around every 4 or 5 mins. Did that a couple of times then let it cook the rest of the way. Scooped it out into a large bowl. Added some tostitos queso and plain mayo. It was really very good and not too filling. The fibre was good for me as well.
