Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
I did bring out my heater from the bedroom and turned it on HI, already feeling the warmth. Just waiting on Walmart, got immodium, pizza and texas garlic toast. Should be here by around 1pm. That will be my dinner meal. I have also ordered new LED bulbs because the living room one is dull and cannot find the other ones I had. New ones come Monday, they are 13 W which are the equivalent 100 bulbs as I find the living room really dull.

Irish - your goulash sounds yummy. I might have to take my slow cooker out, haven’t used it in years. Love cooking. It’s like making art, picking the colors, chopping into shapes, and the tastes… my tastebuds have changed over the years with chemo, it savoring food is still a pleasure. Agreed about hope! I like to read in Nature about the cancer trials and new discoveries, a lot of good work being done on the horizon.
Mara- so glad you are healing so quickly. Your level of energy and upbeat approach to the day to day is awesome, and fun to read.
Intolight- sorry about the disappointing PET scan. Two infusions are not a lot, so glad you can stay on the chemo for awhile to see if it works over time. And yeah that it is tolerated, all the better.
Stay warm and safe , wishing everyone in the path of the storm electricity that does not go out, and warm homes to wait it out.

l enjoy entering the MBTA northbound at the Kendall/MIT stop because of the art display of holographic star images. Feeling part of such a vast universe is calming.

Re: How are people with liver mets doing?
@ailurophile I have no experience with liver ablation. I was on Faslodex for a number of years. I didn't like it but tolerated the shots just fine. Make sure the nurses push the med real slow. It should take a couple of minutes for each shot. I didn't have any bad SEs other than the usual fatigue. Everolimus and I didn't get along well so I was only on it for a short time, but everyone reacts differently. I just wanted to respond to let you know you were heard. Best of luck with your new plan. I hope it all works well for you.

Checking in from my high spot in Texas. 41 degrees here but the cold is moving up the mountain to me as I type. All good though, I’ve got electric and propane heat, food for weeks and of course, a beach bar on my property. No snow yet but likely later today, we’ll see. I hope everyone is comfy and warm this weekend.

Re: Cats, cats, cats
Last night we had visitors. These two little guys were recently rescued. They are Amore and Shamu. They are approximately 8 weeks old. They have been slower to adapt to people than their siblings. The one kept hissing at me. He was so cute. He open his mouth like he was hissing but nothing came out.

I have some new foster. These two kittens are Noel and Nick. Nick is white, Noel is grey. These were rescued from a home owned by a 90 year old women that they assisted with TNR. They are considered house ferals. They are very timid. We can hold them but if they get loose they are very hard to catch unless they are hungry. We think we will be able to tame Nick we are not sure about Noel. They were rescued at 12 weeks.

Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
I slept OK last night, short but still OK. I have an appointment to see the neurosurgeon, by myself this time. SIL busy with appointment of her own so no ride to happen. Booking my Paratransit. Hopefully we do not get as much snow as they are yapping about, I have no problem cancelling my appointment if is really deep snow.
Made my bed this morning, preparing for some laundry to do later, floors, sweep, vacuum and mop would be good to be done.
Not sure about food, probably egg muffin and couple of hash browns around breakfast. Go over to pantry and pick something else.
I do hope all have a great day and in pockets for everyone.
