@threetree-That's not the news you wanted, I'm sure. Here's hoping that Xeloda knocks all those cancer cells down and that you have many more good years in this life.

Re: Success Stories!
been wanting to write for the first time because of a story that inspired me recently. I love this thread and it has buoyed my spirits on many occasions. I hope you've all read about Happy Rockefeller, who died last week at age 88. The nytimes obit (you can google it) mentioned that she had had breast cancer in the 1970's. Said she had one mastectomy then another one five weeks later. Like Betty Ford and Shirley Temple, other long time survivors before the age of antihormonals. And let's not forget Julia Childs, who died at 92. And these are just the famous ones

@mara51506 I think the hospital does not want you bringing your own medications. It's important for the medical team to know exactly what is in your system. Hopefully you can get some good rest and enjoy your walks, movies etc when you are awake. Seems like you are making a great recovery despite loose stools. Hope you'll soon be home to the loving attention of your kitties.
Re: Multiple skeletal Mets Strongly ER positive BC originally now showing as TNBC
@warriortowin I'm so sorry to hear this is happening to you. It's so very stressful, especially when findings seem uncertain. My heart goes out to you. I can't really give you any advice myself on your question, but if it were me, I would seek a second opinion, especially if you are not at a major cancer center. It can't hurt, and might alleviate the uncertainty.

GoodMorning!!
@mara51506 Here’ hoping your day today is recovering continued. They don’t let you rest a lot in the hospital with a brain injury as they call it. Constant blood tests. BP tests, checking IV, the most annoying thing for me was catching the bottom of my feet with a sharp object and asking if i felt that. My diet was only thickened water and jello to keep me from choking as they check swallowing ability.. The brain has needs and treatments and aftercare that is unique. Stay well @mara51506 🩵🌷
@irishlove Dear Laurel, I am sorry that your pain med got mixed up. I’m very Upset if there is any change . both seem to work equally for me. and usually not long enough between doses so in often intersperse them with good ole Excedrin and the topical Diclofenac Gel (Voltaren) massaged into my painful bone Mets. Wishing. You a Beautiful day and get some rest .
♥️Barbara

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

Almost all wars, perhaps all, are trade wars connected with some material interest. They are always disguised as sacred wars, made in the name of God, or civilization or progress. But all of them, or almost all of the wars, have been trade wars.

Humor is something that thrives between man's aspirations and his limitations. There is more logic in humor than in anything else. Because, you see, humor is truth.
