Re: So...whats for dinner?
Weather update from west Texas is currently 43 but I expect 20’s-40’s for the next several days. Weather is exactly why I made soup tonight. It’s Zuppa Tuscana from an instagram post (I had it my BFF’s last month and loved it). Normally, I don’t go for spicy food but the small amount of red pepper flakes in this give it a tasty and manageable kick.

Re: Doing Well on Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs)
I am also on Arimidex for 10 years based on the Breast Cancer Index test and have about one more year to go. I’ve been taking the Prolia injections every 6 months since starting the AI. I’m also seeing an endocrinologist once a year and will transition to his care re: Prolia after my oncologist releases me. I’ve gone from osteoporosis to osteopenia so the injections are working. I’ve tolerated it all pretty well. The endo monitors my progress through annual blood tests, It’s really difficult to know whether my aches and pains are from older age, osteoarthritis, Arimidex, or a combination of all three, it is what it is. Love to all. 💕
Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
Everyone seems busy.
We have guests so we’re running around. Today they took off for the Naples zoo, after canceling a beach trip late last night. It’s sunny but windy, no one wanted to be extra wind blown at the beach. They’ll have fun at the zoo. SO has an ear ache so he had no interest in going, and I really didn’t feel like going. It’s a great zoo, but I’ve been there 4 times which was enough for me. I’ve had my grandniece there 3x; she doesn't remember so she says.
They’ll be back in time to go out to dinner. I offered to cook but youngest told me to rest. LOL
Bed is stripped, laundry going, iRobot “Rosie” is vacuuming the house. I made waffles for breakfast and everything is cleaned up and put away. I may just sit and watch the Olympics.
Niece and gn are thawing out. I’m glad our weather can accommodate them!

Nature is relentless and unchangeable, and it is indifferent as to whether its hidden reasons and actions are understandable to man or not.

Thanks so much! I'm leaving tomorrow to fly to NM to be with her for the surgery.

Re: Stage IV MBC Fitness
@threetree Great news! So glad the Xeloda is working and you were able to get out for a walk.
I'm off for a walk myself this afternoon-so nice to see the sun and we've hit 50!
Re: Stage IV MBC Fitness
@threetree Wow, that's great news. It's so good for morale. This will give you the courage to continue playing Xeloda. I have the same dosage and frequency as you and my results have been good for 1 year. Keep up the good work with Xeloda!
Re: All about Xeloda
I find the zoom support group meetings through Breastcancer.org extremely helpful
