Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
Good afternoon all, slept pretty late but was in bed late, not sure why but will force an early bedtime tonight and tomorrow night for sure. Stop eating by 6pm so better make sure it is a good size dinner.
Nothing on the agenda, got plenty of laundry to do which is always good, floors, sweep and a vacuum. Mop at later date I suppose, need to get cat food for my SIL to give cats while in hospital and that is about it. I told her not to worry about any organization yet because my mind could change on a dime.
Probably air fry a couple of hashbrowns, set timer to 4 mins check the crisp and flip again. My thought is to have hashbrowns, a hot dog cut up and air fried at same time and either an egg or lentils added in, not sure yet. I do have the option of using the air fryer at same time as small griddle since both together use max of 1300 W. That may be helpful to do up an egg and some hash browns and eat up. Later, crispy beans or lentils added in crumbled up chips and use up some queso of my own. Debating a shop from Walmart before surgery, make sure enough eggs and frozen macaroni and beef are in the fridge, meat pies are good too. Will not cost too much. I have a while yet, but think some may be a good idea. I will see what I think.
Anyway, I hope all have a good day. I am in pockets for us all, hopes for good holidays whether with people or spoiling ourselves as well. Not sure what I will have Christmas Eve or Christmas but I will figure it all out.

Turkey noodle soup from New Year's Day roasted turkey. Too some to a friend last night who had a fall yesterday. She's okay but sore and bruised

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.

Re: All about Xeloda
@threetree I hope that you do well on Xeloda. 3,000 a day is a high dose and I started out at 2,000. It worked well, until I had to go off it for 7 weeks after I ate too many high-folic foods.
When I started back on it, I had a spot in my liver, so I asked to go up to 2,500. The spot is now gone.
I never have nausea since we are told to take the pills a half hour after a meal. You can take the pills 10-12 hours apart. I don't have diarrhea, but am constipated. So wait and see how it affects you.
I use Aquaphor night and day with socks on my feet. And I like Gold Bond diabetic cream for my hands.
I have been on Xeloda for 8 years.

Re: fatigue
I’m not sure where you are in your journey. I had chemo, single mastectomy then radiation. Fatigue was definitely an issue, but wasn’t horrible for me. I walked every day outside. Some days it was only 15 minutes, other days it was 30 or 60. I tried to go in the morning, because I had more energy then. The walking helped me physically, mentally and emotionally.
Each day I tried to take care of anything that I needed to do that day in the morning, if possible, I felt better in the mornings and had more energy then. In the afternoons, I would be kind to myself and nap (if needed) or watch some tv or read for a while. The hour or two of down time helped me get through the remainder of the day. Be kind to yourself- your body and mind are going through a lot!
I had some issues with appetite during chemo, so I would snack on some nutritious things throughout the day.
I hope this helps. Make sure to talk to your dr & nurses. The nurses always have helpful tips - they are amazing!

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.

Re: I say YES. YOU say NO....Numero Tre! Enjoy!
Hi ladies, Canadian here. We love you but don't want to be the 51st state. You ladies are part of the resistance. Keep it up. It will ultimately be the increasing numbers of resisters that return the US to a state of normal democracy. In the meantime, the evil triumvirate, Putin, Netanyahu and Trump, are ruining lives all over the world. It has nothing to do with ethnicity or religion, but rather the pathological sense of power and greed that these men have. I hope they all enjoy a long stay in a cell in the Hague one day.
In the meantime, resistance is not futile. Bella ciao.
Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
My guests came home to my house last evening. They stayed at the beach for the sunset. The grand niece took off as soon as we came in, to stay overnight at our neighbors. The older she is the less I see her. LOL
Today was 74 and full sun, so off to the pool we all went. Beautiful, restful, and surprisingly not crowded. I think a lot of guests have already left for home.
Tonight we’re headed out soon for an early dinner. It’s the restaurant where the car died last visit. I’m taking the newer car today. Going early because we need to be up early to take them to the airport tomorrow morning - leaving here at 5:30 AM. They’ll be back home in NY before 11 AM. I hope I’m back to sleep before 6:45 AM! It will be dark out when we drop them off.
Nothing special planned for tomorrow. Laundry and stripping the bed. Maybe put presents away. Watch some football, and eat leftovers.
Enjoy the weekend!
