Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
In the rush of daily living it’s easy to forget all the remarkable people, real or fictional, who have been a part of your life. But if you just imagine they are near for a moment, you will realize that anyone who ever touched your heart is always with you, patiently waiting to emanate warmth and support whenever you remember to think of them.

Re: Herceptin alone or (Herceptin + Perjeta) together
I'm not a doctor, so I can't give you medical advice, but my understanding is that Herceptin alone is only for small, stage 1 cancers. Most people in your situation seem to either be getting Herceptin + Perjeta or Kadcyla (T-DM1). I was just barely stage 2 and did Taxol, Herceptin and Perjeta before surgery and Kadcyla after.

It's foggy out and 71 degrees. Definitely muggy weather and not an ideal day to drive to Ponchatoula (30 to 40 minutes) for a hair appointment. I hope the rain holds off for a stop at Walmart afterwards. I have a list of things to buy. Often I meet a friend at a coffee shop when I go to Ponchatoula but she wasn't available today.
This hair appointment is for a trim but it's possible that I may go back to color in a future appointment. I'll live with "natural" a little longer. DH won't state a preference. He leaves the decision up to me.
Wishing everyone a good Tuesday.
Re: how about drinking?
Hey all! Got good news today, the poetry anthology that I have poems in, is now available on Amazon. The title is Oceans of Poems: An Anthology by Women Poets of the World
My poems can be found under Arlene.

Re: So...whats for dinner?
Minus - I don't care for Sister Shubert at all. Quite a disappointment.
Mississippi Roast tonight with a side of mashed potatoes and braised carrots. A dear friend is having hand surgery tomorrow so I fixed a giant chuck roast and sides for her and her DH that yielded enough for both of us.
Re: So...whats for dinner?
Oh Reader - I love beef tips & noodles. I'll have to try your upgrade to steak tips.
I finished the last of the quiche - with all the remaining broccoli as a side. And finally cooked the "Sister Schubert" frozen rolls. I was disappointed. Several people said I would find they were as good as my Mother's homemade rolls. Nope. Granted, the rolls weren't bad, just not even close to my Mom's.
I ordered King Comice Pears from the valley for myself this year. They are such a treat. Then I received a box of Royal Rivera pears from Harry & David (also Comice) as a gift. I'm truly in heaven now. Just hoping my ex-DH's wife will send the chewy pralines she sent last year.

Re: So...whats for dinner?
Reader, My favorite part of cookie exchanges was coming away with a few new recipes to try.
Dinner tonight was steak in a sherry cream sauce on capricci pasta.
