Best Of

Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer

@threetree Sorry you have been feeling crappy lately with the fulvestrant shot. Hmm I hope it's not something that gets worse over time as you heard. Hope your Np visit goes smoothly and you're feeling better.

@intolight Hope you're starting to feel better too…ugh tis the season I guess. I have flu shot scheduled for this Friday.

@mara51506 Happy belated Thanksgiving. I agree with you regarding DB , if he's so stressed and worried then why not check in more often. A text or a call go a long way in my book sometimes I just don't understand people. It's crazy to me sometimes that so many family members don't even ask how I'm doing. I think they judge the book by the cover and feel like I'm just doing wonderful everyday lol. Oh that Tigger cracks me up with taking over his nap spot on your treadmill. Ugh sorry you had a rough MR with vomiting, that's the worst. Hope next time it's a better experience. In your pockets and fingers crossed for good results.

@irishlove Im so sorry to hear of your ER visit and feel like crap lately! I wish you can come up for air for more than a week or two without having some issue. I just continue to pray for everyone here since I can't lend support in person only virtual. In your pocket too for visit tomorrow , feel better.

@candy-678 Thinking of you hope your hanging in there♥️

Been busy with my mil's house etc, the only good thing it diverts my thoughts away from cancer. MO this week, flu shot Friday hope there's no SE from that. It's my busier time of year appts in Oct-Nov some of my follow ups and scans happen around the same time in the Fall. I will get them out of the way before the holidays. Ugh don't even want to say the H word aloud, stores already decorated…grrrr.

Well thinking of all here, daily prays for strength and healing your way❣️

Re: Stage II w/Lymph Node Involvement

I’m new here and freaking out today. I’m stage 2b, finished 4 rounds of AC and 4 taxol. Had a lumpectomy and axillary dissection. Tumor shrunk fro 2.2 cm to 8mm, but had 3/7 positive lymph nodes...2 macro, 1 micro. I thought chemo would have taken care of the lymph nodes. Still have 2 weeks until I see my onco and am on pins and needles. Anyone else have positive lymph nodes after chemo? If so, what was you’re treatment

recurrence with pleural effusion

10-14-2025

Hello to all.
It's been confirmed to me yesterday that the breast cancer first found in 2019 has caused a large pleural effusion in my right lung that's been developing over the last four months.Can't say I'm surprised, but will speak more of it in the Metastatic Breast Cancer ONLY forum group.
I will be joining the Monday afternoon or Tuesday night support meet-ups also.
Thanks so very much for this platform, and thank you for reading.

Re: So...whats for dinner?

Cod is DH's favorite. Most recently I fixed it the same way as the catfish — lightly breaded in Louisiana fish fry and pan fried. I like it baked or broiled with a lemon butter sauce similar to what you would make for piccata

Tonight is a belated birthday dinner out with friends at DH's favorite Italian restaurant. Her will have rigatoni with sausage and I will have linguini con pesce. It's always the same lol.

Re: So...whats for dinner?

Last night's dinner was a "meh" meal for me. Bony shoulder pork chops, breaded and cooked in the oven. Baked sweet potatoes. The pork chops were overcooked. The condiment was canned cranberry sauce with berries.

I was on the verge of buying a salmon fillet yesterday. Instead I bought cod. DH always says he likes cod. Now I have to come up with the cooking method/recipe. Suggestions welcome.

I stepped on the wicked bathroom scale this morning and was surprised and pleased.

Re: So...whats for dinner?

I lost the post…but it was my fault…

Wally, has the saw arrived? And if so, how's the project? Or should I not ask?

My mom was a NP-midwife and could write prescriptions for some stuff. She used a typewriter for her prescriptions. Somewhere I have a cartoon of a doctor dipping a chicken's feet into an ink well and there is a prescription pad next to the ink well. :-)

Sharon cooked Spanish couscous and chicken today while I worked on improving the drainage in the driveway. It's been raining all day most every day since Thursday and about half the driveway was a puddle about an inch deep. A bit of work with a garden hoe and the puddle is now only a foot or so wide and about half an inch deep,, which is "good enough". As for temperatures, frost is likely late this week and early next week, which is "right on time".

Re: TNBC MBC Stage 4

@cookie54 Hi Andrea. What a mercy that your eye has been fine. Please let us know how it goes with your various appointments.

Cleaning out a parental home is often such a huge job. Good luck to all involved.

This week includes the start of the next Trodelvy cycle. But there will be other non-medical doings; sometimes it's difficult not to focus on that aspect of life.

Have a good week all!

Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?

The trip back home was very slow. A lot of traffic from North Carolina to Florida. I did stay over in Tifton GA, because I had been on the road for 8 hours. I couldn't take it any longer. The next day traffic was not as bad. I was a zombie for 2 days. I think part of this is from the adjustments my new PCP is doing to my meds. He lowered my levothyroxine to a place it has never been before, but I have never been this old before. LOL

I am attaching some trail photos

The first are from Murphy River Walk

The last are from Piney Knob Trail System
