Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
Good morning everyone, I'm trying to be grateful that my house is being painted...am sequestered in the downstairs bedroom/bath with the workers having taped plastic over the kitchen cupboards and fridge (so they can paint the ceiling). Am going to have to go out for some tea. I'm such a homebody, I don't like my home all disrupted! But it will be great when done, just want it done NOW.
Still having some diarrhea, my MO thinks it's likely the Ibrance, even though I haven't had this much diarrhea in over three years that I've been on it. Guess it's possible that side effects can change over time? I don't have other symptoms that would concern her. Thank goodness for imodium.
Went to Paris once when I was 18, had no money, stayed in a youth hostel, and remember being impressed that breakfast was a huge mug of hot cocoa, fresh bread and butter with jam.

I never been interested in Paris, I prefer the beach and a tropical drink.
Reading along but nothing to report, just another day relaxing on my mountain.

Mkestrel - As always, great photos! I'm starting to eye my local blackberries too.
Re: I say YES. YOU say NO....Numero Tre! Enjoy!
Long day and I've filled this up with memes all day anyway. VP Harris really has it going on — and I just read she definitely stole the Reps/Trump trying to put the border mess on us, right back on them. Wonderful push back and I think since she has just about everyone's attention right now — the more push back on what the other side is saying and doing the better. And who better with a prosecutor's outlook on things that are VERY wrong. Give the other side their load right back in spades. Give it back to the people it belongs too.
People are paying attention — lots of it. I think for now the Reps. still don't quite know what to do. How to make her wrong, incompetent etc. It will come at some point, but I'm thinking and hoping that it will be too late to do all that much damage.
Perhaps, while scaring a bunch of us A LOT, getting something of a fairly late start out of the gate might be just what was needed for the momentum to keep the worst dirt from having a deeply serious impact.
Tomorrow's news about Atlanta and tonight should be delicious and delightful with our morning coffee.
Re: Just diagnosed with ILC mets
ok. After multiple tests I have mets to my bones, liver, stomach and possibly peritoneum. More than I thought at the beginning of this journey. Interestingly enough my bone scan as well as my FDG PET states no bone mets, but my Chest/ Abdomen/Pelvis CT shows mets all over my skeleton. I know with LBC it’s a problem. Starting Letrozole today with Ribociclib in a week or so (upon processing through my insurance and specialty pharmacy).
I wish you all long life and Thank you for your support

Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
Betrayal, I would love to hear your bird sing. But I don't think we can post audio.
This morning the temperature was in the 60's, I think 68. We opened up the camper and circulated fresh air inside. When I came inside to take a shower about 3 pm, I closed up and turned on the a/c. It's still comfortable sitting on the deck with the box fan blowing.
DH had his appointment today with the wound care nurse. She tended to his leg and gave him more supplies. It was such a good idea to go to her. DH wore his new size 40 shorts. He's down from a 42 and I wouldn't be surprised if he goes down another size. I did mention to him today that he has to consume some protein. He has been eating mostly salad foods and melon because they taste good, while some other foods have lost their appeal. I'm wondering if one or more of his meds might be affecting his taste. He does have eggs for breakfast. I am eating less, too, trying to drop some pounds that I can well afford to lose.
Jackie, when you can manage it, post a picture of Lil Red.
Thinking of Puffin and Harley. And hoping Sandy is doing well, just busy.
Re: So...whats for dinner?
I'm finally getting "re-settled, laundry done and un-jet lagged". The airline to get from Phoenix to Show Low…so far it's 1 out of 4 flying with the rest being a 4 hour van shuttle ride. And, as soon as I got home, my other intermittent government job needed attention. At least the two agencies coordinate well enough that they don't simultaneously want me.
So, now I need to read up on what has been going on. I did some reading while I was back east but after 10 hour days/6 days a week working in a warehouse with indoor conditions in the 90F degrees and 80% humidity range, I didn't read much. :-)
The breadless Ruben sounds interesting. Sharon's WW plan somewhat discourages bread. We have homemade sauerkraut and thousand island dressing in the refrigerator, so all it would take is the corned beef.

Re: how about drinking?
Good afternoon! The lounge is quiet. I'm looking forward to my vodka martini on the rocks with multiple olives at 5 pm. That's our ritual, cocktails at 5. DH will be making himself a bloody mary with his own mix that includes clamato juice. He adds pickle spears. Normally he has a gin martini on the rocks, also loaded with olives.
Hope everyone is keeping cool and feeling good.
