Re: Contemplative practices - Affirmations, white light visualizations, healing meditations
@maggie15 @threetree i also find them calming, and expansive. Sometimes entering into the universal field of light which the universe pics invite, as I breathe allows my mind to still and the inner stillness within me to expand into peace part of a greater whole. Love John Muir’s quote he says it so well!
Re: So...whats for dinner?
Had to drive to the big hospital up north for a MRI today. Their parking garage is closed on weekends (the hospital is in the middle of nowhere) but I correctly figured my engine would be warm from the drive up and restart easily. The roads were well cleared and the winter wonderland was beautiful. IMO ice storm scenery is the most spectacular but those storms cause the most hardship with power outages.
Rhonda, The local stores are often overlooked by panic buyers. On the way home I stopped at the “fruit stand” for apple cider doughnuts and a loaf of their store baked bread. Enjoy the blueberry pie and homemade cookies.
Minus, You have a good system for keeping your pantry stocked. At times the closest place for me to buy bread or milk was over 20 miles away so I learned to make do with what was on hand. I hope your power stays on; you have had more than your fair share of freezer disasters.
Wally, I’d ship you some snow but it would probably be held up due to the storm and melt.
Eric, Lack of coffee is definitely an emergency. I hate that “wintery mix” that falls when it is just at freezing. I wish it would remain sub zero here and be too cold to snow but what comes down should be light.
Dinner tonight was chicken in orange curaçao sauce, cauliflower and mashed potatoes.

Re: All about Xeloda
@meja…I have my CBC & CMP drawn every 3 weeks. Typically, one doesn't get Herceptin and Xeloda here, unless we are Her2+. I started out at Her2+++, but when I had a chest node recurrence 12 years ago, I am now Her2-. But since the combo has been working, I can stay on it.

Re: All about Xeloda
@bigred62 ..beautiful pictures! I live in Pennsylvania, USA and would love to escape to Canada…. We are now having the worst snowfall in 16 years with a predicted 18 inches of snow. So I am definitely hibernating.
@meja I have been on Herceptin every 3 weeks and Xeloda at 7/7 for 8 years. It has kept me at NED at 8 years. Are you PR-?

Re: Are you currently (or have you been) in a Clinical Trial?
Hi Just4Her! Well,, to venture a guess, based on some of the folks here, its because Elascestrant can work for quite a long time, so people haven't needed to switch up yet? I've been on Elascestrant since summer 2024, following progression on Faslodex-Verzenio, and it worked for six months as monotherapy (which is about what can be expected if the cancer has a PIK3CA mutation, which causes early resistance to Elascestrant and a number of other drugs) and continued taking it in a clinical trial with a new mutation-specific PIk3CA inhibitor. Data coming out of the ELEVATE trial indicates that Elascestrant also works great with a CDK4,6i, tho that combo is not yet FDA-approved. Apparently Imlunestrant and Giredestrant are stronger than Elascestrant, and can work without the ESR1 mutation, so I'm sure it will pop up everywhere shortly, given that it just got approved. Are you taking it?

@wren44 I haven't seen you posting here for a while, but good that you are still active in the threads. I was wondering if you ever did chemo or surgery when you were first diagnosed?
