Re: De Novo Stage IV
@seeq Thank you. Thats a great way to put it.
@AJ I’ve missed you, Anita. Hopefully we’ll see you Monday. I think the reason I have stayed more calm about changing is because I haven’t had horrific things happen as some have. I am hoping to not have too many side effects from Enhertu. This is a first for me, so I am a little nervous. I won’t lie.

Re: So...whats for dinner?
I also dislike shampooing carpets.
Dinner tonight was meatballs and spinach in a beef/onion sauce on Swabian noodles.

@candy-678 My MO said my slight headaches were probably from Lack of hydration and low creatinine levels so don't go to brain mets, yet. She was reassuring.

Olympic "GOAT" Simone Biles took a break from making history at the 2024 Paris Olympics to take a jab at former President Donald Trump, who during a debate in June referred to occupations held by Black people as "Black jobs."
The 27-year-old Houston, Texas native, who has already won two gold medals in Paris, replied to an X post shared by singer Ricky Davila.
"Simone Biles being the GOAT, winning Gold medals and dominating gymnastics is her black job," Davila wrote on Thursday.
In response, Biles' X post on Friday morning said, "I love my black job."
Biles' comment pokes fun at a moment from the June 27 presidential debate between President Joe Biden and Trump. The Republican presidential nominee made the "Black jobs" remark while explaining his thoughts on immigrants' impact on the U.S. economy.

mara, you're like MacGyver when it comes to repairs and even with your food combos. I'm sorry you got lightheaded. That's always a little scary. I'm glad you were home and could rest on your own bed.
snow-drop, welcome!
intolight, I'm glad you're getting the dose reduction. My MO started my on the 7.5 of Afinitor rather than the 10. I've been on it just over a month and she offered to up the dose to 10. I'd rather stick with the 7.5 and she's OK with that.
Waving "hi" to all who are hanging out here this morning.

Re: De Novo Stage IV
Just realized it was 11 years ago yesterday when I went to have an MRI that could have had a metastatic diagnosis if people knew more about lobular at the time instead of six years with no treatment, but I look back and honestly feel I would probably no longer be here if they had. Why do I say that, you ask? We’ll, I would have been on multiple treatments since 2013, and Ibrance, Orserdu, and now my next line I’ll be starting this month, Enhertu, were not even in existence or FDA approved yet. My options would have been very limited, and I am just starting my fourth line. If I was treated from 2013, I would be on my seventh, eighth, ninth, who knows what line, if I was even here. I choose to let go of the fact that they royally screwed up because I think in the long run, it let me live so much longer because of the new drug lines being put out all the time.

There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year’s course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word “happiness” would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity. -Carl Gustav Jung
