Re: Stage IV MBC Fitness
New year greetings from Sydney region Australia 42C day yesterday and now 20C cooler wet day today.
Managed a cool day bush walk with family early December and startled this beautiful goanna lizard near a rocky ridge with aboriginal rock carvings of a warrior, kangaroo,stingray and fish and stone sharpening grooves
Have to cover up for beach swimming as on Caelyx chemo . Planning UK Orkney archaeology site trip in April. Still able to garden and complete household tasks and drive ...love to complete history inspired fashion with sister for events.
Now 70 and in year 11 MBC still stable with lung mets and CA 15 markers reduced to 24…feel lucky to have great medical team and continue free access no cost public outpatient scans and oncology day treatment
All the best everyone
Bright in hope

xsuzx-Why did your insurance company deny Verzenio? It's a pretty standard first line treatment. Hope it all gets straightened out soon.
Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
That is so nice of you, @intolight to just make your self known with hugs. It's perfect and makes me feel really good to be thought of. I want to send some hugs right back to you too, as you have also been through a lot these last couple of months, and are also hoping for a new drug to work well.
@chicagoan - I so appreciate your comment; it's very helpful. It looks like you sure had a good run with Ibrance. That's great, and I do hope I can get a good long run with some kind of drug here!
Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
@chicagoan They gave me 20 immodium. So far so good.
Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
Mara - I agree you sound great! Hope your recovery continues to be speedy. Lots of prayers answered!
Irish - sorry about the Rx mixup. Hope the weekend is easy on you until you get some answers.
Re: Afinitor/Aromasin
hi @beachbumblonde I see this thread ended with you back in April. What is your status at this time? I hope you found something that works for you.
To other ladies on this thread I am waiting to see if I can take Afinitor and Aromasin after 1 1/2 years on Verzenio and Letrozole. @mkestrel I did see your comment on being pulled off already. I notice not much activity on this thread and hope you are all holding your own and having the best life we can have. I did have only bone mets in hip, pelvic bones, spine, ribs and skull. “Only” might not be the right word! But at least was contained to bones. I had very little progression but suddenly it metastasized to soft tissue. Possibly peritoneum and colon and now maybe liver. I am having some bladder issues and now rising liver enzymes for some reason before even starting the new medication. Waiting for liver MRI. I know a clean liver is an absolute necessity to be on Afinitor. So I have some concerns other than all of the other lovely side effects. Just wondering if anyone had liver problems on this medication. I was a big wine drinker until a few years ago so I have some concerns.
Need to update my profile: orig dx 2013 hr+ her2- lobular. Double mastectomy. No treatments at all. Metastasized to bones 2024. Verzenio and Letrozole. Zometa every 3 months. Progressesion to soft tissue 8/2025. Boooooo hiss!
Any comments good bad or otherwise are appreciated. Best to you all!

Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
ChiSandy - you’re probably preoccupied with the show… but the Bears won in a very wild game!!
I got a walk in this morning, but I’m still taking shorter ones, working up to my normal. I’m listening to the audiobook “Twice” by Mitch Album, so I’m enjoying that. But as soon as I got home I had to peel my workout clothes off. It was already 79 and humid. We hit 86 today!
After I cooled off it was a day of phone calls. I think I talked with 4 gf’s! I was getting things done while we talked but boy it could take up a chunk of my day. Two of them still work so catching up is on weekends.
I put away our new carryon suitcases; watered some plants in pots; finished up laundry; took down Christmas cards I had taped to a wall - cheap tape left goop on the wall which I still need to address. I dyed my roots tonight, still need a haircut.
I had ordered 2 bunnies with Jelly Belly jelly beans, early Easter gifts, they showed up today and they’re large! I thought they actually had candy, I was worried about a “best used by” date, my bad - no candy.
I put my hand on to show a comparison. LOL The kids will get a kick out of them. Not so sure the parents want another giant stuffy.
That’s about it for me. Tomorrow it should be 82, so I’ll attempt a walk early, once I’m awake and functional. Need to figure out a tape goop removal to clean that wall. It should be a quiet day. Wishing you all a quiet day too!
