Re: I say YES. YOU say NO....Numero Tre! Enjoy!
My dog, Pumpkin is organizing a movement which she hopes will gain national recognition:
KANINES AND KATS FOR KAMALA !
Yes, I dislike the intentional misspellings but I told her that in this case I will let it slide 🤣
Re: how about drinking?
I have to share about a wonderful bottle of Malbec that my BFF gave me for our joint B-day last month. Layer Cake from Mendoza, Argentina. Really a smooth wine.

Re: ER-, PR-, Her2+ Roll call
@beekaycro24 you get to vent here and it's wonderful! I've done it many times LOL. And it so helpful! It's very hard to handle the unknown! I was the same way with my PET and breast MRI. I prayed and prayed that the diagnosis would not get any worse because it was already bad enough. You are not overthinking any more than most of us did at your stage in the game.
As far as being tired, I think cancer could play a part in that, but honestly I think it is coming from the mental exhaustion. I know it did for me. Sometimes we don't realize how our bodies react to stress and being anxious (which is all a normal process of this journey).
And for wanting chemo to start….I think we all do/did. It is what we can do to stop the cancer and get rid of it. Until chemo starts, it's all tests and staging. With chemo, we are actively doing something to become well!
Hang in there!!! I went through several emotional days and still am. I see my surgeon tomorrow for follow-up and pathology review. Praying there is not something bad that I did not understand in reading it. Hugs to you and all!!!

Re: So...whats for dinner?
Last night's dinner was a frozen pizza heated (burned) in the grill/oven on a stone. DH ate two pieces and a bowl of pasta salad containing red onions that Mary brought over. I sprinkled pepper flakes on my larger share of the pizza. I'm promising myself I will make homemade pizza during our months at home.
Tonight we're meeting Judy and Ron, our Park Rapids friends we met when they were vendors at the farmers market, at a pub style restaurant in town. They haven't eaten there, nor have we. This will probably be a goodbye get together. I'm assuming the menu will be pub food, mainly hamburgers.
Re: So...whats for dinner?
Minus and Carole, hope all will be OK with your homes, power, blah, blah. Power outages are the worst. And Carole, being away and not knowing how it will look…ugh.
Capresse salad last night.

Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
The results are in. No cancer and no tumors. Yay. But I do have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. My guess is, the doctor will do an adjustment on the Simvastatin and advise me not to drink alcohol, no fatty high cholesterol foods, no processed foods, etc. This I can deal with.

Looks nice outside. Cool this morning from overnight. It may warm a bit more today. We will see. I am listening to 9/11 remembrances on tv. Twenty-three years ago. Seems amazing to me now. Where has the time gone and now the children of those who worked so tirelessly for others are grown up. Still a painful memory.
I do hope Francine causes no real damage to your sister and her home and family Carole, nor to your home either. The storms seem to be always a bit worse. I hope we can make progress on getting some climate controls in more solidly.
Cindy, hope that eye gets better quickly. It is no fun to be 'grounded' by a medical situation that you've spend some time treating already. Here's hoping.
Hi to Harley, Taco, Sandy, Chris, Petite, MM and any others. Hope everyone has a good day.
Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
We find by losing. We hold fast by letting go. This seems to be close to the heart of that mystery. I know no more than I ever did about the far side of death or the last letting-go of all, but now I know that I don't need to know, and that I do not need to be afraid of not knowing. God knows. That is all that matters.
