CANDIE>Thanks for the website link, I see some really great prices there!
I'm sorry you are hurting. I almost had to spend the night after having my first lumpectomy. I was throwing up in the recovery room, they gave me two different meds to stop it, first one didn't work but the second one kicked in so they let me go home.

Thank you to all my sisters and brother Peter for all your wonderful advice, support and concern. I truly appreciate what everyone had to say about the assisted living - this is soon to be our only option and I think mama is realizing it too, because she cannot even go up and down stairs and I had to start her car because she hasn't driven it in a week. So, I got a few books from my support group facilitator of all the places in our area and I'm going to check them out.
I am hoping that hopefully soon we will have a little peace for all us.
Thanks again for your support and kind and loving words, I get through the day on them.
Hugs to all my sisters having struggles and tough times. I'm thinking of you and wishing peace for you.

Good afternoon Circle. Hope everyone is having a good day. Not much going on around here. I have Kevin for a couple of hours while Amber works this afternoon.
Dr. visit went well yesterday but I'll be on the intraveinous biotics for at least 6 weeks, that leaves about 3 more. Then maybe oral, that'd be great compared to the port. I can't remember if I gave results of this visit on here or not. Anyway, if I didn't, he wants to do more blood work monday because my liver count was a little high and i showed some anemia, no big deal.
My PT will start tomorrow out here, just a couple times a week.
Hey to everyone from Amy to Z, guess I'd better check out the other board in case i'm missing something.

LIZ...GET BACK HERE...any news? Been worried about you and ready to track you down.
Cheri Pal...only three weeks to go...wow. Hugs to you.
(((Z)))
WildJan...I use half.com all the time...I love it.
ok...back to the grind.

In onc office waiting for him to come in. I hate this feeling. Oh well, it will be over in an hour. Probably only have time to post a few quick ones
Brenda, boy, we should introduce our mothers. Maybe they could help each other out. My sister had to tell my mother one time it was not her responsibility to make my mother happy. For someone who has so much money she is so miserable.
Z, glad mom is realizing she may not have options. My mother finally did; wish I could get her to admit she can no longer drive.
Any word from Shokk or Madison?
Ok, going to go read in case he comes in. Bye for now.

Hmmmmmm CT Scan Report:
There is a 17 millimeter hypovascular nodule in the subcapsular region of the posterior aspect of the left lobe of the liver. On the portal venous phase images it shows a slightly nodeular peripheral enchancement pattern quite suggestive of a cavernous hemangioma. Also noted is a similar appearing 6 millimeter focus in the left lobe of the liver anteriorly near the dome and a tiny cyst at the dome of the left lobe of the liver.
Hmmmmm again. Onco says it's all okay. We'll retest in December. He said if pain continued we'd do some further checking and to monitor my weight. So I guess I'm okay. Opinions??????????????
I hate this f-ing disease.
Now I'm off to read and try to catch up which I haven't done since I was on the phone with the onco and then made him fax me the report thus I had to go to my old employers to pick up the fax and visit with them and dodge the question of returning to work. How's that for a run-on sentence. LOL
Hugs

Ok, Dr. called. Says what he checked for is ok. He said to wait and see what happens. If it continues more than a week I should go to see a hematologist. What the heck could this be anyway? Anyone have any idea? Well, another thing to make me stressed. Ever since my bc dx I feel like I am falling apart. And my family still doesn't get it!!! except of course my DH and DD's.
Going to read, bbl.
Hugs and prayers,
Candie

Liz - good news on the liver - I think. Thought you would have gotten tests for an ulcer though too. Do you take any meds for acid like Nexium or Prilosec? If not you might want to take some over-the-counter meds. I find Pepcid works well for me but there are a slew of others. With all the stress you have been under lately, I would not be surprised if you had an ulcer.
Candie - those are strange symptoms. The only thing I can think of is low platelets - which I am sure your doc already checked for. Hopefully, they will go away on their own. Maybe just a weird reaction to the anesthesia. Know what you mean about feeling like you are falling apart.
Margaret - good luck at your onc appointment. I hate having to go. Mine said that maybe next time he will switch me to every six months - woo hoo.
Trying not to think about my CT scan tomorrow - don' think it will show anything -but worries me anyways.
Been hanging out at Gina's beach house in the Hamptons.
Hugs,
Suz

Liz---a cavernous hemangioma amounts to an internal birthmark---a collection of blood vessels all bunched together in one place. Don't know if you were here a year ago when they scared the crap out of me with the mass in my eye but that's what it turned out to be. Benign---still there. You may have been born with it.
Miss you all but life has gotten so infernally busy only have time to read.
Vickie---don't worry about what you call weight gain. Every pic I've seen of you from Pinkstock on, you look absolutely fabulous! I'd kill for your cheek bones, girlfriend!
Nicki--good luck on the interview. Missed the post but it sounds like you are on the trail of something good.
Being sent to the dermatologist Tuesday---funky thing on neck, funky thing under eyebrow, funky thing on leg. Does the fun ever end?
Amy----I missed the original post but I gather you got some rough news recently. You know we are all behind you and rooting for strength and healing for you.
Cy---can you cut yourself a little slack?
Gina---new chemo? Once again---what the heck did I miss?
Cheri---sounds like you are on the mend---it's about time!
Training for the mentoring spot starts next Wednesday---the day after the dermatologist.
Zazette---we moved my Mom into assisted living during her sojourn with colon cancer. She was resistant to the whole idea until she got there and then told us she wished she had done it sooner. It was either that or have either me or my sister move in with her and, as far as she was concerned, that was NOT an option. (And I'm such a lovely person---my sister even has her moments too!)
Hope all I haven't mentioned (Deb---what's up? How are the girls?) know I'm thinking of them. Life intrudes---maybe things will quiet down come winter? Can't believe I said that---I live in the friggin' Lake Effect Snow Quagmire!
Jeannie
Hey---what happened to review my post?0 -
Jeannie now that you mention it, I do remember that. I'm familiar with hemangiomas - it's just the way these stupid reports are written that scare the begees out of you when you first read them. LOL I know I'm fine.
Good to see you by the way. Oh don't mention winter!!!!

suz - there is no evidence of an ulcer either. I do take prescription meds for my stomach. I think it's just everything has piled up and my stomach is suffering for it. It will all be fine. Thanks!

Hi Girls,
I haven't been on for a while,I have to get use to the new forum. I have alot of catching up to do. Candie-I know the feeling about feeling like your falling apart. I went to the gyno on Monday. He did a blood test to see if I am in menapause. Haven't had my period since last October. If I am not then he wants to take the ovaries out. I am not looking forward to another surgery. Really bums me out. I will know the results of blood work on Monday. I have a busy weekend,wedding and godson's birthday party. I will check in when I can. You are all always in my thoughts.
Take Care,
Joyce

Liz, good to hear your liver is ok. Those medical terms do scare us tho.
Suz, good luck for your CT scan tomorrow.
Margaret, hope all good news from onc.
A good evening to all!!
Hugs and prayers,
Candie

oh--Liz-- I meant that when we get our reports the medical terms are the pits--hope you know what I meant.
0 -
candie - I know exactly what you mean. I'm sorry you're having such a rough time with your knee. Did they give you any blood thinner injections in the tummy? My dad's turned black and blue when they gave them to him. Just a thought. Hang in there - knee surgery is the pits I hear.
I've been up since 4:30 this morning and didn't get to sleep until 1:30 this morning so I'm pooped. I think I'll head to bed.
Hugs and Prayers to you all,
Liz

Hello dear sisters and Peter. Wow, this site is coming along. It looks like they have fixed some of the bugs and added spell check. Wooohooo.
Madison- I hope Humberto is keeping away from your parents home.
This is the only hurricane worth having...
Liz - hemangioma is a mouth full but most importantly it's benign. Yeah......
Gina - so sorry you are having a rough time with this chemo. I was at your rental place and read something about you having plumbing problems...laughed caused sometimes I don't know if you are serious or just joking.
Nicki - good luck on the job hunting.
Goodness I read yesterday's posts but did not take notes and now can't remember what I read. I haven't read any of today's posts. I just can't keep up these days. Sorry I am not addressing everyone. Sending love and hugs to all.
BTW- anyone interested in a cyber party this weekend? Join us at Gina's party thread.
I'm tired now so good night everyone. God blessings...

Good night to all!
Can't believe how quiet the boards are lately! I feel like I'm neglecting so many...........can't seem to focus on any one task lately. I start this, jump to that, read some, write some and you get the picture. Maybe another wonderful side effect of the meds are adult ADHD.
I blotched the name of the Hurricane so bad on the other site that I'm even embarrassed.............I hope Madison and Shokk and all others in the path of HUMBERTO are safe and sound.
Tomorrow is MOM day....gonna be a short one cuz I have to get my hair cut too. Having a "Southern Living at Home" party Saturday afternoon. I NEVER have these things.............Maybe that's another SE!!
Please know that I'm thinking of all of you, and will get back on track chatting with all my friends!
Hugs,
Denise

just a quick pop in before I go back and read. Hubby is watching the Zodiac Killer movie. I don't do yucky movies. So here I am for a bit.
Candie, with that type of surgery, could be with any surgery but I don't know, they fill the "space" with a numbing agent. Takes a couple of days for it to wear off. I guess the idea being that by the time it does the swelling and such will be down and it won't hurt so much.

OK hate to say this but until I figure out why these pages are loading so slowly I'm just gonna stick to the last page. It's to pickin frustrating.
