Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
Well, today finds us with cooler weather which is really nice, cool enough that I should be able to go for a walk, perhaps this afternoon to avoid fire alarms etc though I do want to get through laundry, only need to throw stuff in dryer, run a quick vacuum, cat box and break down more boxes for Sunday night recycling.
Not sure what I wish to eat, I know it will involve a hashbrown, done in the frypan in the breville and after that is made, will go from there. Other option is take another frozen meal, put an egg and have it with the precooked hashbrown, still have lentils and beans as well, maybe some beefless ground too. With the white milk I have, will make the pasta dry packs I have to keep in the fridge for other meals, I will see about that. I also have plenty of meat pies and fish left over as well.
Not sure if shopping today, if so, no groceries but would go for an extra walk. Also planning to resume regular bus rides as well, no way I should not be able to step down from the bus and it is free, mall walking is good for me.
Hoping everyone has a good day, in pockets for everyone who needs me as well.

Blessings and hugs to all
Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
tanya, how frustrating! This isn't a fast-food service line! You're there for a medical procedure which includes a needle stick! I hope you're not too bruised up and that your PET scan results come back quickly.
Waving hi to all.

Re: CT and Lung Nodules
cookie54,
Yes, not a the club I wanted to join, but if I’m in it then I will try to make the best of it. My MO and pulmonologist stayed on top of this and I am extremely thankful they decided to biopsy that nodule. If not, the who knows what could have happened. I have promised myself that I will stay as positive as possible as I do not want my family to be worried….and it helped last time.
Re: Calling all TNs
@dawn68 i was on a 14/7 regiment. It was quite manageable, very mild fatigue at times nothing to write about. The main thing for me was scheduling lol … making sure there a 10-12 hours between eating/dosing. I did a salt water rinse 3x a day to prevent mouth sores, and used udderly smooth cream for my peeling hands and feet. I have to say the peeling was so annoying, it looked ugly and my mind got caught up in wanting perfect skin…but with thick socks , cream and good sneakers it was fine. My feet were worse than my hands. But it is a miracle drug for so many. Worth giving it a go!
@romashka thanks for sharing your good news. Awesome to read how well you are, lovely - wishing you all good things.
Re: Calling all TNs
Thank you everyone for the feedback and advice on managing Xeloda SEs. I'll be starting it in 3 weeks once I've healed from my surgeries. Not sure what the dosage, frequency, or duration will be yet. All nodes were clear from my auxiliary node clearance so no radiation thankfully.

Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
Carole, glad that DH's problem was dealt with promptly and that he is on preventative med now. Being SOB is scary.
Went to DMV today for Real ID and license renewal and was there for over 2 hours. Who knew it would be so crowded in the middle of the week? PT appointment was moved up due to a last minute cancellation and DB didn't come today due to his wife's car needing service, so we decided to get this out of the way. Went to Chili's for a late lunch afterwards since it was just down the road and I was craving ribs. Ordered full rack so I now have enough left for another meal.
It was the last of the hot, humid days today and tomorrow is supposed to be cooler. Rain poured while we were in Chili's but was over before we left.
Home Depot was to deliver chicken wire fencing today and sent email stating it had been delivered but it was nowhere to be found. So hopefully we get it tomorrow. DH needs to install new fencing around stream flower beds since the one we put up fell over during the winter. Needed stronger posts and we have those now.
Hope everyone had a great day.
