Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

Re: Stage IV MBC Fitness
@threetree Not only do they have pickle ball courts at most rec centers all the very the country, they also have them at many of the RV resorts that my DH and I visit. Sadly, I never took up the sport, as I’ve been without cartilage in my left knee since my 20s. And, any lateral movement is out. So I stick to walking, biking, and hiking.
I do hear it’s a lot of fun, though! Enjoy it everyone who can!
Hugs and Happy New Year, 🎈🎊 Pam 💗
Re: Stage IV MBC Fitness
@threetree-Yes!-according to Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickleball
Re: Stage IV MBC Fitness
@threetree-Yes, pickleball is said to have originated in Washington. What I've heard is that a father "invented" the game to entertain teenage children and it was named after Pickles, their dog. It's a fun game for young and old.
Easy to pick up but it doesn't get boring because their are so many levels and ways to improve.
Re: how about drinking?
Good afternoon, friends:
We are in the zone now of "what day is it again?" I was off last Wed and Thurs, back to work on Friday (which felt like a Monday). Woke up Sat thinking it was Tuesday but then remembered it was the weekend. Back to work today for the same repeat this week, two days on, two days off, one back to finish up the week. Even those its not continuous time, I am still enjoying the extra time here at the end of the year (a fav part of the benefits of this job). It's been very quiet at work….
I am finishing up some holiday baking and cooking which I have had less chance to do the past few years. Made some cut out cookies this weekend and found out I am very out of practice! Some burnt and others broke as I took them off the sheet; broken ones got consumed by me! I gave some to my neighbors who I saw on Sat and they liked them, the flavor was good; nothing like a good homemade butter cookie. I plan to make some biscotti next weekend which will be the end of it and to give to some people for New Years treats. Better late than never. I also bought a turkey and am roasting it for New Years Day and will make turkey noodle soup too!
Doing an early get together on Wed (New Years Eve day) with friends. We oldsters like to go out early for a bit of celebration and like to be home at night. Drinking and driving bad here on NYE and they also shoot off guns in the air at midnight on NYE (I have probably shared this before). We are still the wild west out here sometimes!
Wishing everyone a happy and health 2026!

Good morning to everyone. It's 35 degrees in south Louisiana and sunny. Coffee is tasting very good this morning. Wishing all a good Tuesday.

Re: De Novo Stage IV
@denny123 Yay 24 years, amazing!! I always love seeing your updates, such an inspiration! 🥰
I haven’t posted on here in ages but thought of this de novo thread today. This was one of the first places I reached out to after diagnosis and connecting with everyone here helped me so so much and I try to keep up every so often!
I’m still on the her2 climb-05 trial as my first line / maintenance treatment (plus Letrozole) and things are going well! Just had stable scans and my ctDNA tests (Signatera) have remained negative for 2 years now! While things have gotten easier in a lot of ways I still haven’t quite shaken the scanxiety every single time 😅 I’ve had a great year with loved ones, traveled tons and even have a trip to Cancun booked for February. Just trying to live life to the fullest as best I can!
I hope to keep seeing updates here and there from everyone, thinking of you all! ♥️
