Illinois ladies facing bc

Hi girls...as it turned out...my Dr wasn't in yesterday and I couldn't find a CT place that had an opening before Tuesday. The pain yesterday was horrible...so dh took me back to the ER at 2:00 in the afternoon. IV was put in with Morphine, they did another EKG and more blood tests. All came back fine, again - whew. The ER doc sent me for a CT. While lying in the ER hospital bed, waiting for the results, the thoughts that went through my mind were unbelievable. Because the pain was so strong, I kept thinking it had to be mets to the pectorals or lungs or an embolism, etc. I really was frightened. But... the CT showed nothing more than an area of inflammation at the top 1/3 of my lung. He said this could be a viral infection or scar tissue or an unknown condition. I was relieved, but at the same time, I am confused and still want answers. The Morphine, this time, did help, but I hate just masking the pain. I want to know the root of it. The ER doc wrote me a script for Vicodan, since the Darvoset didn't really help the pain. WTF...how could I have so much pain and nothing shows up? Don't get me wrong... I'm happy with the results, but I just want to know exactly what is causing this. Again, last night I was up at 3:00am literally sobbing from the pain. I couldn't roll over, I could barely lift myself up. I took another muscle relaxer and it helped me sleep. This morning, I took another muscle relaxer and again, it helped. But, when I take a deep breath, it still feels like a knife is stabbing me. I am resting all day today and will be taking the meds for atleast the next 24 hours. I hope this just goes away! If I strained the muscle...then it will go away. I asked the ER doc if it was mets or a recurrence would it have showed up and he said YES! That made me feel alot better. So...dr's orders - rest...take it day by day...and if it gets better....GREAT! If it does not, make an appt w/my pcp and she would most likely order additional tests...don't know which ones, but I will cross that bridge when/if I have to. In the meantime, having dh home with me - has been great! I would have had to do all of this alone - if he was working.
I am going back to bed for now...the meds kick my butt...and make me really sleepy.

Laura..Sorry to hear about your pain. Hopefully, it will go away soon.
Connie...Bummer on the arm. What color cast did you get???????????
BJ and Rita...Hope you guys are feeling better...Rita..How was the get-together??Sounds like it would have been fun..
I went to the dr. on Wed...My bloodwork looked good. He is going to reduce the strength of the Abraxane since he said that is what caused my low white blood cell count. He would rather me get 90% of 3 treatments than 2 treatments at 100%. I don't have any pain in my lower right back and hip so hopefully that's a good sign. I will get a PET scan after my next cycle of treatments which should be done by the first part of Nov. I really hope this works cuz I am so tired of dealing with this. I have tons of things to do and see.

Oh Laura, its just not fair. You have been through too much. I am so thankfull the ER Doc said it could not have been Mets. Thats is a big relief. I hope you are resting easy. I know when you are in pain there is no rest.

It was a long day, but my first tx passed smoothly. I had some strong reflux with the cytoxan near the end and I've been tired most of the day. Everyone on line said that the Decodron kept eveyone awake and peppy, but not for me. Coming off all the fear and worry about the chemo, I've been tired for most of the afternoon and took a nap this evening. I'm just going to rest and see what happens next.

Morning Girls,
Just a quick hello to see how all the patients are doing. Looks like we may have a nice day today. Sunshine would be good for us. It makes us happy. For me I am sooo glad its the weekend. I can sleep in. My flu is getting better. I just love those antiboitics. Now if I could get rid of my cough I would be a happpy camper. Oh the joys of flu season.
Sido...how you are doing after your tx. I know the girls here will give you good advise on how to manage the sideeffects of chemo. I have to tell you those purple shoe are sooo cute!!!!
Wendy... girl where have you been. You must be playing alot or are you at the beach with out me.lol Hope you are doing well.
Laura...hang in there. Things will get better they always do... waiting is so hard. Rest and take those meds. Hugs to you.
Jackie...thanks for the chili story. It sound so youmy. I reminds me of when I took my dd to a Girl Scouts camping trip. Camping is not for me. Cooking out doors on a fire pit not so much fun. That was my one and only camp experience.lol
Rita...how was get together. fun. Are you feeling better.
Connie.. how is your arm doing. Did you get your cast on and what color did you get. Aren't you glad that boating season is over. My 2 kids both had fx arms at the same time during the summer when they were little and it was so misable for them. No swimming or boating. It was not a good summer for me. Trying to keep the cast dry was a really hard for them..Just think 6 weeks will fly by.
Ginny..glad to hear that things are going well for you with your txs. Hope you are enjoying your new home and that warm weather down south.
To all the girls I missed I hope you are all doing well. Enjoy the weekend...have fun...enjoy life.
Remember to be healthy... be happy...hugs to all

Morning all.....it's 35 and sunny, but what is up with our happy, little group????Laura......mystery, horrible pain.
Rita.....laryngitis.
BJ.......flu, but not H1N1.
Connie.....broken wrist.
Sido.....chemo stuff/se's.
Elfsong....no doubt, very sore feet/ankles today.
Hope you are all recovering quickly.
Ginny...great to hear from you and also glad that your onc decreased the dose so you can better tolerate it. Same stuff, just slower. And hey, slow wins the race too! Fingers crossed as always for you. How's the weather? (And..oh shut up! It is gonna be in 60's here next week so HA!!!!)
Rita....how was the get-together?
WendyTY....where you been at, girl! I know....busy with life...and ain't it GRAND!!! Were you able to get your port out?
Donna....saw yr comment on FB this morning. Yep...this H1N1 has finally gotten my attention. I am waiting for the inj. and with cancer we are considered as having a chronic disease so we all qualify. I will be getting one, just don't know from who or when. AND....I usually wait until early Nov. for my flu shot so it lasts thru all of flu season but I read in the paper yesterday that Walgreens and CVS (where I get mine) are just going to use up their supply and not order any more of the seasonal vaccine and instead concentrate on the swine flu so I am going on Monday to get the regular stuff. Just a head's up for you guys.
As for my broken glass story...it was simply a tale of Wendy's usual scatty thinking. I put up new curtain rods in the FR...where I had carefully moved all stuff away from the corner windows. I finished and then moved everything back and stepped back and just wanted to tweak the curtains a bit so I figured I would just put the ladder back over the lamp cord. I would be careful. Yeah...right. Forgot it was there and stepped on it, which yanked the lamp down which I lunged to catch...which isn't glass BTW. Which hit 2 plants and set them flying into 2 picture frames and a glass pumpkin which in turn all flew into the brick hearth, sending a bulb I had just purchased to put into a halloween decoration, which sent that flying into the fireplace doors. It all took about 3 seconds and there was glass everywhere. But the METAL lamp is just fine. Only me.
I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday....it's Sweetest Day so hug your Sweetie!

Wendy....I think all three of these were you and the glass, don't you think???
There are three kinds of people in the world:
Those who make things happen
Those who watch things happen
Those who wonder what happened

Good morning everyone...favor to ask...prayers please for my former sister-in-law whom I still adore. She had a large uterine growth removed and it was cancer. She goes on the 5th. of Nov ( actually five hours away ) to a specialist in Albuquerque, New Mexico -- she is from Las Crueces ) which already makes me think bad thoughts which I am trying not to have. Guess I will read up on this and see if anything makes sense.
I think our wetness will stop today....bout' time. I am a sun shine type and the gray pour downs and drizzles have hung around here way too long. Tomorrow for the chili fest should be fine......I think I may make a Pumpkin Dump cake or Pumpkin Squares or something relative to month of October.
Sido, glad your first chemo was ok. It really is sort of anti-climatic isn't it ? Usually does take a day or two or three if anything kicks in on you for side effects but they should be mild anyway for the most part. Chemo is cumulative, but the first couple are generally easy to get through. It is not bad though as you get time to find out what you need to do to keep things going smoothly. Now is definitely the time to sleep and help your body rejuvenate -- in fact, your body will talk to you a lot in the next weeks and months and so go with the flow it creates.
I am thinking of not taking the H1N1 vaccine. It has Squalene in it and that has been known to induce autoimmune disease eruptions of various different kinds. From what I have read...the flu itself is not all that bad but what you end up having to deal with if you do get the autoimmune diseases turned on is pretty lousy. I've already known of a couple of kids who had H1N1 here and they were NOT very sick at all and fine now and have a natural immunity. I'm just not too confident about the possibility of awakening some autoimmune reaction. I also read somewhere that what you need to watch out for is the possibility of pneumonia AFTER the flu......so, I am still thinking on this and not ready yet to give a definite yea or nay. I do need my pneumonia shot updated as it has been several years now ( I think they are good for 7 -- no longer sure ) so I took the regular flu shot....and probably next the pneumonia.....and after that....???????
I am thinking of all of you with the various ailments. Hope the non-regular posters are doing well and if so will continue on. Oh my....I see a muted sun out of doors....what a welcome sight. Hope it stays the rest of the day. It will be a somewhat full one for me. I'll be checking in later.
Hugs to all,
Jackie

Good afternoon. The sun is shining brightly today and my mood is much better. The laryngitis is beginning to disappear but I now have Blackjack's cough....as well as the need to continually clear my throat.
Thursday night was fun. Our bc group met at Paul Mitchell and had our nails done. Everyone chatted and laughed while the students did the nails and we all admired their work when we were done. Then we headed to Ruby Tuesdays where the main topic was "boobs!" It's a really neat group of gals with a wide age range but we always seem to be able to relate to one another. We missed you Tanya and Annette. You both would have enjoyed it. Next month I think we're having dininer at Olive Garden.
Ginny, I'm glad they're reducing the treatment a bit. You don't need to have any more low counts. I know that this has to be getting old but just hang in there! Call when you need to chat!
Jackie, I'm with you on the H1N1 vaccine. I can't decide it I want to get it or not. More decisions, eh?
Sido, everyone reacts differently to chemo so just do what you have to do to get through these first days after your treatment. Check in often and keep us updated on how you are doing. Hugs!
Jackie....I've added your SIL to my prayer list, which just keep growing and growing. The specialist referral might not be a bad omen. It might be a blessing instead. Maybe somebody knew where she needed to be to receive just what she needs.
Well, I spent all morning in Blain's Farm and Fleet. They had their kick-off Christmas toy sale. Needless to say, I managed to fill a cart with lots of "little boy goodies!" Now.....which one of you likes to wrap presents???? LOL At least I have a start and Monday Mary Jane and I are going to Moline to shop some more. We always make quite a day of it!
Well, I need to get busy again. Tomorrow we are going to Indiana to the Covered Bridge Festival and I have several things I need to get accomplished today because we'll leave here by 6 in the morning. Gotta go.........catch you all later.

Hi all:
Laura, so glad you got the word that the problem is not related to cancer. You have so much gong on right now, and the stress level must be way up there. Whatever, this is, it WILL go away and you will get strong again. Hugs to you!
OMG, Rita, I love Blain's Fleet and Farm! Being so suburban, we have nothing like it. I discovered it when we were in Rockford. I got this great T-shirt (nice to get away from the PINK ones ever so often) from the John Deere section and it said "Proud to be a Farmer's Wife" and I love it. Anyone who knows me would know that I would love to be strong and be a hard worker like a farmer's wife, but I am just not cut out for the work!
Ginny, you always sound so upbeat! I am glad they can cut back on the meds.
Sido, I am glad it went okay for you. You sound like a very fashionable lady. Why not go all out and get some especially fun wigs?
Wendy, I always love your posts and pictures.
Okay, now for the swine flu vaccine. I am just not worried about me. I am worried about my grandchildren. I have a hunch my daughter and her DH will not get them vaccinated and I do have such mixed feelings about that. Jackie, my SIL has an autoimmune disease. Should he not get it? My DD and her DH are so conservative when it comes to any medical intervention. There is a whole new generation out there that is very skeptical of medicine. I will not get it for me as I think I could just endure the flu and get better. Good thing I feel that way as the availability is very low.
Blackjack, that recipe is coming. I wrote all over my copy and I need to retype it. I promised it to a number of people so retyping is not a problem. Ladies, if you love olive oil and live near Long Grove, the guy has a store there. I love olive oil! Remember when my cat had the "dred locks" because she is so fat she can't get to certain spots to groom herself? I used olive oil (maybe Rita suggested it) and it worked like a miracle. No worries! I used a cheap, not extra-virgin oil and I didn't share that information at the olive oil cooking class.
Have fun today!

Hi everyone tonight. Long day and not near enough sun to suit me. In fact, it sprinkled some hard sprinkles...the big drops and then quit as quick as it started so was sure glad it did not last. I spend my afternoon tracking down some "possible animal abuse". Maggie and I are not sure and think maybe with some help with food and neuter/spay....all may end up ok.
As to the H1N1 -- I think the world at large are going to be the guinea pigs to some extent. First off, there are going to be so many deaths from flu just because that is normal -- no matter which strain of flu. More problematic and more to watch is for illness right after the flu. As far as the auto-immune diseases and there are several -- only certain people will actually have it happen. So as to your question Susan....I really don't know for sure. I would think if someone already had one of these disease processes going on, well I'd be very concerned that the Squalene would really put it in high gear --- yet oddly, maybe it would do nothing. We just don't have all these answers which is why I think we are all going to be the guinea pigs if we take this shot. The two years I was in active treatment ( chemo & rads ) I never got around to any flu shots....and I am not sure before then just when I had one.....probably a year before that at least....so for 3 or more years I haven't even bothered and did just fine. I do work in an office and greet the public and take rents so am handing lots of money ( money is very, very dirty ) and am around little ones who come in with the parents etc. Of course, I think my overall exposure to all sorts of people, and animals etc. plus the fact that I use anti-bacterial soap on my dishes, but bathe and wash hands with regular soap. We get too clean sometimes and need to keep building immunity to things. Plus, I just don't worry too much about it all; I think the "worry" can get you long before the germs get toxic so relax and build some immunity....you'll feel better.
Anyway, nice to be home and getting things handled here. I'll talk to you all in the morning.
Hugs, Jackie

Morning! Brrrrrr.....27 on the deck this am, but the sun will be shining and in the 60's thru Wednesday so not too bad!Donna....what a visit you had! But at least your Dad had you around when things went to hell in a handbasket, as my Mom used to say! Glad you had someone to share that visit with your Mom....and glad too that you have a new on-line friend!
BJ....still wearing those sexy flannel jammies? Hopefully you are much better now...
Laura.....you stay out of those ER's! I know you still don't have an answer for your pain, but you do know it's NOT METS....so that has to be a huge relief. Feel better!
Jackie.....yeah, this cold and gray and rainy stuff sure has me a bit depressed. Fall is usually so pretty here in the Fox Valley but not this year. Seems as if the leaves went from green straight to dead and brown and on the ground. And I see as it gets light out that there is frost on the grass....which is still growing I see and I will have to mow at least once more. Oh goody.
Rita....glad you are feeling better and count me in as someone who thinks Farm and Fleet is the neatest store! There's one out this way, W of us....I think Sycamore???? Have fun today!
Susan....I go the olive oil store here in Geneva. I love their Meyer Lemon olive oil, and the basil too. Yum! For everyday oil I buy Star EVOO at Jewel. I tracked this brand down thru the restaurant Carrabba's as I had it there and loved it so much.
Elfsong.....saw on FB that the germ fairy found your house as well! Hopefully you will be OK...so you can play nurse!
Kristi...good to hear from you! And sorry too about your flare-up. If it's not one thing, it's ten more!
Not much going on for today....guess I will take advantage of the sun and dig up all the pots and throw away the frozen plants. I left 2 chairs on the deck at the table in the hopes that it will get warm enuf to sit out, but I am guessing that will not be happening. But then heck...with our strange weather, it could be 75 in January....and wouldn't that be nice! Have a good Sunday, y'all!

Morning everyone......as my furnace keeps coming on to keep us at a toasty 70 degrees. Very chilly out for now, but will warm nicely so the chili cook-out will be fine. I will still have to make something....got involved yesterday and just didn't get it done.
Strange event this a.m. I got up around ??5a.m.?? or so to use the bathroom, then right back in bed and fell asleep. I dreamed I was flying a plane....a little one. Somehow I got out of it and a bit later it crashed. Then, first thing I heard on the news a couple hours later was about a small plane crashing but the pilot made it out alive. Interesting to have a dream and find out it was happening.
Donna, I was wondering about you so hoping you have a good trip back home. You are so right Donna....those good moments are not by chance. Everything that happens in life is a piece of a total plan. It is a comfort to know that our life was meant to be as it is -- though I'd be the first to admit there are many parts that I can't really connect but still good to feel there is not some one going -- hey you -- you down there. Time for you to get a broken leg, or have a tooth ache or get canser or whatever. It is not random and means something which when the time is right we will know. In the meantime, we can experience the joy of making a new friend, of seeing a rainbow, or even eating firepit chili with a bunch of long time friends on a cool Sunday afternoon.
Laura, sure hope you are feeling a bit better today. I did not realize one could have such extreme pain with a lung infection. Keep wondering if the mustard plasters ( I'm not even sure what those are ) that my Mom used to make for my dad may have been for lung pain....she put one on the front of his chest and one on the back. I think generally I was too small then ( some of the old-fashioned remedies worked well then ) to actually understand all that was happening. Just hope you get a handle on it.....sounds horrific.
Hope everyone is going to have a wonderful, wonderful day. The sun is making me super cheerful and it almost always has that effect. I'll be in touch later. Enjoy.
Hugs, Jackie

Zap- I have been to the new Lincoln Museum in Springfield. It is wonderful. Anyone who has not been there is really missing out. They have done things with holograms, etc. that make everything look like it was just right there in front of you. I don't want to spoil anything but my grandkids loved it too. Once kids can read on their own the museum is probably appropriate age 8-9. Annette

Hi gals............Just have to share. Mary Jane has reached the 15 year mark. Her daughters had a surprise party for her last night to celebrate 15 cancer-free years. I so wanted to tell you about the party but it was a surprise and Mary Jane usually doesn't post but does read this thread all the time. CONGRATS MARY JANE! You're our inspiration. You remind us that the treatments do work and that it is possible to beat cancer! I'm glad you enjoyed your party. It's certainly something to celebrate!!!!!!
We just got back from the Indiana Bridge Festival (really great this year!) in time to grab a sandwich and head for the bowling alley. I'll write more tomorrow. I hope everyone had a great weekend,
Rita

Hugs,
Jackie

Thank you, Rita and Dave, for coming to the party. I was definitely surprised! Jackie, thank you also for your kind comments. I do have great daughters and they had fun planning this event! The one who lives in NY even came home for it and that was really a surprise to see her.
The girls had asked everyone to wear pink and I will say Dave looked very spiffy in a hot pink polo! My DH and little grandsons and sons-in-law wore shirts that said "Real Men Wear Pink". Rita brought a lovely edible arrangement featuring chocolate covered strawberries and other fruit. It was quite a hit! I am very thankful for 15 years of health and wish all of you the same!Mary Jane

Good morning everyone and it is a beautiful morning here. Guess you can tell the sun is out and I am loving that. Don't know for sure how the day will go but it will be warmer by at least 10 degreees and I think there is a trip to the storage section of the auction house in my future after breakfast. Life would be so dull if we didn't all have "fun" things to do like this, wouldn't it??? Bet none of you are any more convinced than I am.
Whatever you do hope it is great.

Sido...hope you are doing well. Still thinking about you and here if you need us. Donna, hope your trip home was un-eventful. See you all later. I'm off to help a friend with a small project.

Mary Jane: It sounds like a perfectly wonderful celebration with all involved showing their gratitude for life!...your's and their lives with you. Fifteen years is indeed something to celebrate and the party sounds pefect. Imagine the next party of celebration in 2024 with another fifteen years of family, fun and friends!

Morning! 48 on the deck with highs in 60's today and tomorrow. YAY!!!! Get out and enjoy as much as you can, as I see it will NOT last. Oh well....
OK...I see we need to do the "happy dance" for Mary Jane at 15 years surviving and Mich101 at 3 years today!!! You go girls!!!!
(ok...no dancing monkey....photobucket won't insert!...so imagine a monkey jumping up and down....)Need to get going as I need to shower, hit the gym and swing by the BS for my annual check and also need to hunt down the seasonal flu shot....I went to CVS and they are out and not reordering as are all the Walgreens and Oscos. My BS has his satellite office in the DuPage Medical Group building so maybe they have it.

OK...HERE'S the dancing monkey for Mary Jane and Mich101 - I guess he just didn't want to wake up this morning!!!!! Happy days to both of you.....and many, many more years! 0

Good morning....I think I have put this quote in before and possibly not all that long ago. I'm such a fan of E.K.Ross. She is I feel pretty much in touch with her soul and is one of those people who when I read what they have written, something inside goes Ahhhh, yes. For me it is like a little inner bell going off announcing something that I believe with my whole heart the moment I hear it.
Some may say well here goes, but some of you may know exactly what I am saying....we all know everything in a deep intuitive place --- and that is where the Ahhh yesses come from as well as the tinkle of the bell or whatever you may choose to call it. There are so many things we know that we did not learn in a classroom -- the knowledge is just there and when we hear it for what we think is the first time --- it is right and we know it WITHOUT really needing to know how we know. Ross is one of those that I can read the same thing ( I read over this quote a lot ) and I get that little vibration/bell tinkle every time. I so often wish I was in touch with my higher self a lot more often.....but these intuitive things are what help me know there is one. Ok.....no more head shaking....thank you.
Lots to do today, but I'm sure that is what keeps you young. Well, it sounds good and it does help to inspire me to do some of the more boring or challenging tasks that I would otherwise be dragging my feet at the thought of doing a lot of the time.
I ordered a hand powered lawn sweeper which will be here Thursday....in time for some more rain possibly, but a friend told me about these and they sound easier than the lawn sweeper on the garden tractor. I also don't use the garden tractor but am here when Dh is not and would be glad to do some yard work ( as if I have time ) but with an acre of ground to try and keep clean in the woods, it could be a big help. If it turns out I may save up and get the more expensive model --- not because I necessarily think it better ( who knows ) but has a bigger capacity.
Hope you all have a nice day planned whatever you do......

Good Morning everyone. Beautiful day today. Going for TX#4 (TAC) today. UGH!
Will be all foggy brained for the next week for sure. I was so glad to see the news about our sistas out there winning this BC battle! Yeah for them. Helps restore my positive attitude especially while being in treatment. I recently read some stats on triple neg BC and that put me down for a few days. But now after being on this thread today I am feeling better. So a big thank you to all that post on here. I can't wait for TX to be over and I can get to meet some of you that get together for lunch or dinner.

Navy... Good luck at tx today. Hope all will go well and hang in there.
Can I ask a question? It's actually a silly question, so I hope no one minds. Also, I know I can go to Hair, Hair, Hair... but I trust you guys and know you are always there when I have a question. So, hair goes (LOL, I'm so punny) does you hair grow back in the same pattern as it was before? Will I get my wonderful annoying collic back? I never thought I'd miss that darn thing, but I do.
As I said, thanks so much for always being there to help me out, whether it's silly or serious.
