@scgal08 Hi there , yes Xeloda is still keeping me going! My hands look like a lizard and I am without fingerprints but who cares lol. Cancer treatments aren't pretty but I am grateful to still be stable! Hope you are having a good week and have a little more energy. Always praying for healing for you and all the amazing ladies on the forum💕

Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
We changed the garage door weatherstripping this afternoon. At first we couldn’t budge it. So I took a box cutter and sliced it down the middle, where we discovered a self tapping screw at each end, about 6” in from the end. Well once we took the screws out, the old one came out easily.
Next we put on the new one, easier than I anticipated. A definite 2 person job. Final step was to close the garage door and see how well it sealed.
Not so well was the answer. UGH. There is still light under it in the same area as the old one - the cement driveway has settled unevenly apparently. I went on Amazon and ordered a 3M weatherstrip that sticks to the bottom edge of the garage door on the inside.
Thinking ahead that it could easily “melt” off during SWFL summers, I ordered self tapping screws to make sure it stays on.
The 20 foot weatherstrip arrives tomorrow, the screws on Saturday. Additional projects on the “to do” list. Another - it never ends project with homeownership.
We got a walk in before we started the garage project. Just over 2 miles, so getting back to normal.
Tonight is trash night - a gf is picking me up for curbside finds. I say reduce, reuse, recycle. Her husband says junking. LOL

@mkestrel Wow, beautiful pics and the kitty…those eyes! Happy belated Anniversary, hope you enjoy your day together.
@mara51506 Hope your staple removal was quick and smooth!
@shanagirl Hi there hope you relaxed and stayed warm today a bit of warmer weather before this possible large snowstorm. I hope to get out and walk tomorrow without having to dodge the icy patches.
@goldensrbest Sheesh sounds like you had it bad! Hope that's it for the season for you.
Thinking of many and hope you all have a peaceful night!❣️

Re: TNBC MBC Stage 4
@rlschaller Thanks for the heads-up about the therapist. Not a welcome approach by that person.
How are you feeling on the CMF + Keytruda?
@cookie54 Is Xeloda still treating you well?
Thank you both for the good vibes sent my way and I wish the same back to you.

@mara51506 - Good luck with the staple removal. I'm assuming you nurse can set up a sterile environment, etc. In your pocket!
@goldensrbest - Good to see you post, and so glad you've recovered from that flu. I was wondering how you were doing. I too have heard about the flu being extra bad this year.
Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
@mkestrel - Beautiful - both the snowy river banks, and the cat 😺. I get pretty low this time of year too, but once even February hits, I start feeling a bit better, knowing that spring is just around the corner. Maybe you will too.
Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
@shanagirl Interesting you say that about masks. I hate wearing them even though I don't have asthma. I do have lung damage from cancer. I find it very difficult to breathe while masked and immediately become very congested. I too love the fresh air.
@mkestrel Thanks for the pics. Belated Happy Anniversary!
Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
@mkestrel Oh I’m so glad to see those beautiful pictures my artistic friend. Sorry about DH having a bad cold . It seems everyone is complaining of this never ending cough and tiredness, this winter., I try to wash my hands often and wipe things down with those throwaway Clorox wipes, like counters and doorknobs and the Tv remote control. But mostly I’m sticking to the turmeric teas and others that boost immunity. I am not a mask person mostly because of my asthma and the fibers and bacteria inside the mask, but the fresh air is excellent therapy🥰
Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
@goldensrbest 2 weeks of the flu! That must have been miserable. Glad you are feeling better.
@mara51506 Good luck with the staple removal.
