Re: Suffocating in the waiting...
@mrsnewbold0525 I’m so sorry you’re going through all this. As the moderator mentioned, it can be benign. Just as a suggestion, sometimes the facility where you’re having tests, etc done have either payment options or other aids to help with the expenses. Don’t be afraid to ask for financial help, it’s what it’s there for.

Been so focused on getting unpacked and back to a routine, I forgot this one. Here's a quote.
A woman would never make a nuclear bomb. They would never make a weapon that kills - no, no. They'd make a weapon that makes you feel bad for a while.

Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
Addition to previous post. I found a ton of missing stuff food wise as I was unloading stuff, ran out of blue bags to use will need to put out as garbage bags this time, bought more blue bags which will arrive tomorrow. Also decided to get the clothes dryer that goes from the top down. I needed extra garbage and blue bags anyway so added to an easy to manage payment plan, everything comes tomorrow. I also have to say, easier to manage garbage WITHOUT my cane. Got 4 black bags of litter, garbage and the 7 layer chicken waste and one blue bag I had left.
I managed to get a fair bit of food and found some digestive enzymes and immodium from Amazon, they been sitting in there for quite a while but that was a bonus to find. I am also going to sort food and keep in the same area so it is not all over the place. When I make my Walmart order, will get another large box for stacking up stuff. Have so many reusable bags from the grocery store it is quite ridiculous
Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
Hi ladies….Cant sleep. Gabbie has chemo tomorrow and I’ve got to be ready to be at the hospital early with her. It still upsets me. I hate it. It makes me so mad. My fiancé drives up to her place to pick her up at 730 am and drives her there. Then I come to relieve him at nine and then when she’s done he drives her home again. He’s gone to every chemo. He’s amazing. I don’t know what we would do without this amazing soul we’ve been gifted. The best man I’ve ever known. I hope it goes quick and I can get some sleep. I think about you all. Mkestral love the pics. Make me smile. Tanya. Seriously??? Wonderful photos and I hope you had a blast. Be safe everyone! Much love!

Re: Are you currently (or have you been) in a Clinical Trial?
Short update:
Dr G's nurse received my list of questions and juggled a patient who was doing well so I'll be able to see Dr. G. next Friday. He said those are questions only Dr. G can answer (exactly!).
He was like, "Wow, she's really worried."
I said I saw my liver in the hospital and was shocked by the size of the tumors—I thought they were buckshot, but they were more popcorn-sized and everywhere.
He said, "Try not to worry until Dr. G tells you to worry. He's really good about that."
So anyway, I have slight reason to be more hopeful, and I'll have my answers on Friday. I might have jumped the gun again, but this time two health professionals confirmed my predicament, so I'm justified, haha.
That's it for now.

The contractor packed up around noon and left. The pool is gone. I do feel a little sad and even my son said it is the end of an era. The patio under the pergola was removed since it was crumbling. Our plan is to fill it in with pea gravel next summer and put the Adirondack chairs and fire pit there. The garden bed between the pergola and house needs some reimagining so that’s another item on our to do list for next year.

Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
Last night I couldn’t fall asleep right away so at 1:21 AM ,I decided to read along here and see how everyone is doing….I had my treatment on Monday and lab work on my monthly visit to Onc, and am back on the Xgeva Injection. He also reassured me my MRI, that the lesion seen on my Posterior Vesatublum was not a new met. This was what has been causing the pain in my right hip groin and low back and causing me to limp and lack of my mobility. He has me being seen by his radiologist and oncological orthhopaedist for treating the pain. So I will be going to do rads for 2 weeks at JFK Hospital. They are optimistic I can get back to painless walking again. This has taken a huge concern off my shoulders being told that met is stable and no progression. Just posting this made me lose some anxiety, then I lost what I had typed, darn this website,🤬. so after I lost my post I closed my IPad , put it aside and turned over and fell asleep 😴. this morning I went to PT,came home and had some pea soup.
@threetree Hey there girl, I’m glad your concerns about Guilaine Barr are resolving.🩵
@candy-678 It’s probably a positive thing that reading the book inspired you to contemplate your feelings on future chemo treatment you may need and how you want to choose whether to continue or not. and you are definitely NOT BAD for having these feelings on how you will choose to face these things in your future with this bitch of a disease. You go girl👍
