Best Of
Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
Glad to hear the celebrex is beginning to work. Thankful that I had my right hip replaced just prior to my initial diagnosis. The left hip is bothering me, but hoping it holds out although MO said if I want to have it replaced, now would be the time. Not concerned about the surgery, but very anxious about the long break from Kisqali that would be required. I have several friends who live alone and did not go to rehab after surgery, but like you, I think I would want two weeks or so. It's not that you can't get around (I walked and went up and down steps within hours of surgery) - it's the fear of falling or some other emergency when you're not at your full strength.
So sorry about Gamble passing. The unconditional love these creatures give us is priceless. Glad it was an easy death for her.
Sorry about your heat-stroke incident. Sounds like you handled it extremely well and have plans in place to deal with the problem going forward. I had several instances this summer where I felt weak and dizzy from the heat, but it never quite reached what you experienced. The treatments and medications lower our ability to thermoregulate along with so many other issues.

A fine pinot noir was enjoyed by me tonight with homemade ravioli in rose sauce at our favorite Italian place. 🍷
Love the hot springs!

Re: Stage IV MBC Fitness
So glad you made the reservation for 2026. Having something like that to look forward to can be incredibly helpful on the not so good days.
The retreat sounds awesome. Wish there was one on the East Coast.

Re: Stage IV MBC Fitness
@mara51506 I think the gym is a great idea. Maybe you could do some gentle yoga or something like that for balance since you've expressed concerns about that from time to time. I'm a senior citizen, so I worry about falling and do some balance work myself.
Re: HERCEPTIN and/or PERJETA Threads
Dear Olma, such great news!:) I mean… melanoma is no joke but if something could be removed with short surgery, then thanks god and let that chapter be closed. It is interesting though that something has appeared on the radiated place, hmm… is there something known about such risks or is this some coincidence? Many many hugs, Saulius
