Re: Could lymph node positive survivors share their story?
Michelle co, you are an inspiration to all of us. I read your postings to my husband and all he could say was "SEE" He has been telling me all along that things are going to be fine. Well, I just cant believe that from anyone....while my gut feeling today was that "YES" it will be fine.
I am going to live like never before. However, I told my hubby that I do not want to start going on vacations because to me that is giving in (if you can relate?) I dont see how doing stuff that I would have not done before would help. My retirement plans were to see the Grand Canyon, Niaggra Falls, and the Black HIlls and any other little fun things so I guess I will hold off until then. I have a nice little cash pot in case if things get bad, but until then I will have faith in my God that that day will not come for a long, long time. Actutually I do think that I will die......but from old age and that is okay with me.
Yes, please to continue to post as all your positive stories or things you have overcome is HUGE to those of us that are still trying to get past this point. I always say to encourage others to visit us also .... so spread the word.
A HUGE, HUGE HUG to you and congrats for all its worth!
Much love,
Cindi
Re: STEAM ROOM FOR ANGER
Just try to ignore he mostly. Knowing she lost her mom to cancer and is trying to be supportive and do not see her often can easily not try to hurt her either saying these gifts are not my thing. Maybe for family members o something it is ok but not for a cancer patient. Did not mind the flowers though at all and got that pretty scarf still have and actually use in the spring around a spring sweater accent or something on my shoulders. She won't even know how it makes it me feel and end up either donating it and someone else may chose to wear it or something. The kids who are grown do donations at this point though. We told them long ago we do not need stuff at this point and do donations for birthdays and holiday gifts.
Re: Zoom Meet-Up Bonded by Breast Cancer: Place to Keep Chatting
@klrtts3p are you the Lisa from our Monday nights? I’m Catherine W. If so, you’ve heard that I decided to stay on letrozole after a lot of questioning whether the side effects were reason enough to try a different AI or stop altogether. While I don’t enjoy the idea of enduring the side effects for anther 22 months, the fact that I’ve started counting the time in months rather than years does give me some solace.
@katg Here I am at 4:00 am after putting in a 12-hour day and I can’t sleep! I’m officially one of the “REM Gals” (Ridiculously Early Morning Gals). I think that’s what we should call ourselves.
I’ve been obsessed with getting as much done on my “Mrs. Billings” quilt before my February retreat with my favorite quilting ladies, including the designer of the quilt. I’ll be celebrating my 4-year anniversary then too. I’m looking forward to celebrating with them. There isn’t a single one of them who hasn’t been touched by BC either directly or indirectly and they all live life with gusto.
Here’s a photo of the topper so far…don’t know why it is so fuzzy. The original image is really good. 🤨
Re: Starting radiation October 2025? Let's support each other!
Hi @kks_11 and @ann5631 thanks for the insight and word of encouragement. Glad you are both doing well after your treatments! I’ve heard good things about calendula, it was on the list of approved lotions from my rad onc. I’ve been using emu oil (a gift from a friend) and Eucerin daily for the last 2 weeks to prepare my skin. @cat_guardian you may have to ask about lotions your rad onc approves.
Ready to get this step in the journey done. ❤️
