Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
hi all. Watching Phillies game. Takes one's mind off other stuff.
@chicagoan OH I am so sorry for what you are dealing with. In your pocket gal for a pain free result if surgery is a go. We need to be heard and believed and helped. No excuses from medical teams.
@cookie54 Ah, thanks for thinking of me. Had the spinal epidural yesterday. It went much better then the last pain management appt. I had an anastesiologist preform the routine. He was wonderful as was his staff. Minor improvement, but I'll take it. Did have a real nasty headache for 24 hours, but it has subsided.
Not much going on around here. Did get the crafts together for DGD to work on, if she comes by. Found more $1.25 items to add to the doll house, sofa, table and figures to make a village and dog park. lol.
The night blooming cereus gave us 6 beautiful, fragrant flowers. As the name indicates, only blooms at night and just one night. sigh But it has bloomed 3 times this year. Never that lucky before. Love gardening, when I can.
In pockets for everyone and sending my wishes for a better tomorrow.

Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
Chicagoan, I'm sorry to hear this latest... I believe it was Intolight who said something like "why aren't we believed" when we tell our metal team about pain, side effects, etc. Really hoping this can be taken care of quickly for you.

Re: So...whats for dinner?
Good to hear that everyone is on the mend.
We get mud season in the early spring when the snow and ice melt. After a very wet spring we haven’t had much rain.
In NYC to visit my grandson who is now seven months old, past the colic stage and fun to play with. He’s in a hip brace but uses a toy toolbox to pull himself around some.
Dinner tonight was takeout pizza.

Misty likes to nap in DH'S clothes basket. She also likes to steal his socks and take them for a walk.

Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
Tonight ends with 6.83 miles of walking today. We walked to the zoo, all through the zoo, but took an Uber back to the hotel.
I put on my bathing suit to go to the pool. It’s outdoors on the 2nd floor. Well, everyone was exhausted so I was on my own. I got down there and only one other person was there, a woman about my age - nice conversation, she’s from NYC. She let me know the pool was cold, the heater broke a while back and hasn’t been repaired. She was told that they’re doing renovations room and it includes the pool. Well knowing I was covered in sweat, I hopped in anyway. Felt good, but I was out in 3 minutes.
I showered and we went out looking for an Italian place for dinner that wasn’t going to break the bank. We walked towards Market Square and came across North Italia on the way. We had a delicious shrimp scampi, with home made ribbon pasta. And as a plus - all the shrimp were tipped for us - no playing with tails. I can’t report on the dessert, because we were too full to eat any.
Zoo pictures:
It was 85 or hotter and the tiger jumped in for a swim.
We spent a lot of time watching the pandas. Top pick is the male.
Bottom pick is the female. This was feeding time. If I could show a video, you’d see her rolling all over with that green tube - they put food in it, carrots and such, and she does everything she can to get it out.
We could watch them all day.
That’s it. More miles to go! LOL

Welcome firefighter306. We can offer you support while you undergo treatment since as a group, we all have had different experiences. Please feel free to ask any questions you have, and someone will relate to it.
Your radiation oncologist will be able to explain the pros and cons of radiation therapy based on the details of your pathology report. Even with clean margins, you might still need radiation. Hopefully, you might not.
The medical oncologist might offer some insight about treatment, too.
Please reach out as needed.
