Re: All about Xeloda
Hi everyone — just popping in.
@airlinegal , glad the Xeloda restart hasn’t been too bad and that you’re finally getting some energy back after the heart stuff. That’s huge. Keep us posted on the cardiology visit.
@denny123 , thanks for always sharing the long-term perspective. It really helps others to see someone who’s been navigating this for years.
@threetree , muscle pain is no fun. Hopefully others on Xeloda will weigh in with what they’ve experienced.
@gigil , restarting after a break can definitely feel weird. New symptoms can rattle anyone. Glad it passed — and always okay to run things by your team if it keeps happening.
Appreciate how you all keep showing up for each other. 💛
Re: Abemaciclib Verzenio for Stage IV
@tbos805 We're so glad to hear your labs improved with hydration. A great relief. Thank you for circling back to share what happened.
@birdsndognow it’s completely understandable to wonder about environmental factors, especially when you learn new information about where you lived. If you’re concerned about a possible cancer cluster, local or state health departments are usually the right place to start for information.
Wishing you All a smooth end of the week and good results with your upcoming labs. 💛
Re: I say YES. YOU say NO....Numero Tre! Enjoy!
My belief is that we were put into this world of wonders and beauty with a special ability to appreciate them, in some cases to have the fun of taking a hand in developing them, and also in being able to help other people instead of overreaching them and, through it all, to enjoy life - that is, to be happy.

Re: All about Xeloda
denny123 I am feeling better now. I ate and took my morning meds. Maybe I was dehydrated or low on blood sugar. It seems to have passed. Thanks for responding. Steady as she goes, I guess. New symptoms always shake me up.

@irishlove Hoping the the variations in SUV are close enough not to be any sign that anything is brewing🤞Do we ever really feel total peace at this stage regardless of reports?? I wish it was a bit longer we were all able to get TRUE relief and a break from the mental stress of worry. Unfortunately it's very hard to be consistent with feeling relief. I think we get small periods like a day or a week or maybe a bit longer. So I guess we celebrate our victories and do the best we can each day!❤️
Hi to all here, we are having a nice meltdown in NJ thank goodness and looks like a nice weekend! Hope everyone has a good day🌷

Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
hello everyone. Here are a few photos of the set. It will look great once the sound and projections are on. Location is a private Gulf Island in BC.
Re: So...whats for dinner?
Carole, I totally understand the "dragging" feeling and the upending of schedules. Hope your DH's surgery was uneventful.
Maggie, off the top of my head, a great asian version could be mushrooms, tofu and teriyaki or soy or peanut sauce; add rice if you wish. Shrimp instead of tofu or even ground pork.
Yesterday was an awful meal day. BIL wanted to "shop the deli" for dinner. I was horrified. No vegetable. All icky breaded or deep fried. UGH. I ended up eating roasted red peppers for breakfast just to get a veg in.
Tonight, I made a crustless quiche. He wants to go to a Pho place tomorrow. I weep for humanity….I am so happy to cook (and purchase) the food….he's leaving saturday so I am trying to go with the flow. He has kidney disease and refuses to listen to me. I"m a (former) registered dietitian. Go figure.
At least the guys are getting some stuff cleaned out of the garage. DH did great.

Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
Good Morning @rlschaller(Rhonda) and all my lady friends on this thread, Yes we are also on the Blizzard “monster Storm Warning. Yesterday DH & I went to the wild bird store and picked up some millet, cracked corn and mixed seed with black oil sunflower seeds for all the birds 🐦.and he also nailed the Mourning Dove nesting box up underneath our Front porch over- hang for the nesting pair who visit to nest. There are also red cardinals living somewhere in our yard and they love the black oil sunflower seeds. I hope they all ate a lot to give them the energy and warmth to weather this storm inside the big Holly bush tree in our front yard yard.It’s so tall that the electric wires and cables are being reached by it. We wanted to take some of it down but it’s really on the property line of our next door neighbor who rents the house so it’s really up to her land lord. He used to own the property where our house was built on 5 yrs ago but he sold it to the the contractor who built it. And now I’m thinking we don’t want to reach out to him and offer to pay to take it town because this holly bushe tree as tall as the cable wires is home and shelter to so many birds inside the tree.
So here at the Jersey Shore we are expecting 50 mph winds with the snow , Tomorrow I’m supposed to go to my follow up visit with my onc, and my XGeva & Fasoldex injections and most likely wont go because the road will probably not be cleared enough tomorrow, We did go the day after the last snowstorm on the turnpike all the way up. The roads were salted and bone dry so we had a clear path no traffic up to the Cancer Center last month and got in and out of the hospital right away because their was no wait……but if it’s still snowing we won’t take the drive up.
I’m wishing you all warmth, a warm blanket and cozy fleece sweat outfits, and some warm comfy food to eat to everyone while you wait this storm out. I’ll be roasting a pork loin mashed potatoes and buttered carrots today. I love you all my sista’s and brothers in breast cancer mets. 🩵🥰
