Phyl, so nice to read your very upbeat note. Most of us seem to definitely sail through Taxol in better physical shape and better spirits... Life takes over, that's great...
Take care,

Hello,all!
Did anyone watch the Ted Koppel show last night, Living with Cancer? I found it incredibly accurate. I think I have thought and said probably everything that was in the show since I was diagnosed.
At the very end, Eliz. Edwards was asked to sum up living with cancer. She said that her biggest frustration was not knowing how long she had. She gave an example: she just moved into a new house, and there were boxes and boxes of clothes she should go thru. She said, "If I only have a year to live, I will be pissed that I wastd the time going thru the boxes. If I have 12 years, I will be pissed that I didn't" Ah, the time conundrum that has led me to both individual and support group!
In other news, I will be heading to Mass General Hospital for a consult/2nd opinion with a surgeon and an oncology team to see what all my options are going forward. A little nervous about it. Not so much about the surgery, but about further chemo treatment options. I am triple negative, so not a lot in the armatorium (sp?) for me.

Well I spoke too soon. Last night I couldn't sleep due to pretty bad pain to both hips. I kept tossing and turning until I woke up enough to take some tylenol. It's just an aching pain that does not increase with say standing or walking, just constant and stays around the groin and hip areas, ugh!
I saw my surgeon today for a follow up on the mastectomy and he says it's "looking good".
And oh yea, this morning I noticed my scalp looking different and I have a light fuzz coming out! Yeah!

Hi, Leah... now you posted your new pick... what an infectious smile you got...
There is a special thread in Active topics about the show: I completely forgot about it... it may be broadcasted again on Tuesday...??? I have to go check the schedule on Discovery...
As far as not knowing the time we have left... isn't it the essence of our fate as living creatures? Those poor people in Kansas who got killed in the tornadoe, and the victims at Virginia Tech... thought they had years ahead of them, probably... and we may die in old age from something totally unrelated to BC... So, what are we to do? Sort the boxes or not? I decided to "travel light" a long time ago, makes everything much easier...
Good luck with your consultations, will be thinking of you...
Take care,

Good Morning All!
Leah -- Love your new avatar.
Pat -- I've got the same pain in the same places, and it lasted days 3 to 8 post-treatmen from taxol #2. It's still better than the overwhelming "pukey-ness", to coin Marsha's term about AC.
Phyl -- I'm so impressed .... 12 hour days and courses as well! How was taxol #3?
Carol -- I hope that your taxol pain is gone by now. My onc outlined what to take for pain from tylenol to motrin to percocet, for increasing amounts of pain. So far, I've only needed motrin. If you have nothing stronger left from any surgeries, can you get a script from your onc? It sounds like Alyson is suffering to same extent as you. It's funny how different drugs effect us differently ...
Belinda -- Welcome back! We don't have too many Her2 positive girls on this thread. I think just Terry (tailbrig). But, we'll be glad to keep you company on your cruise!
I was thinking about the statistics of small numbers. On this cruise, we seem to have more than our share of triple negs and less than our share of Her2 positive girls. What about ER positive?
Wishing my fellow imbibers Catherine and Melanie a pleasant day at the bar ...
-- Hillary0 -
Hillary - thank you for the welcome back! And Pat - yay - fuzz coming means hair coming - woo hoo! I am just losing my eyebrows now - eyelashes still 90% there but my guess is my eyebrows will be bald within the month. Sigh. Leah - I like the quote from Elizabeth Edwards - I have been on a crazy downsizing exercise ever since diagnosis - wish I had done it sooner, but glad I am doing it. Every bag of clothes out the door, every box of unwanted crockery, makes my life and my load seem easier. I want ZEN! Bit hard with DH and DD - Zen cannot be achieved in isolation of those who share one's life journey. But, damn it, I am going to get as close as possible!

I haven't posted in awhile. My dad and sister came to visit for a week and we had a bit of a family reunion with my brother here in town. Got shirts made up and everything. It was nice to focus on something else and get out and have some fun.
The first dose of abraxane went well. The infusion was fast and no reaction thank goodness. I have had some nausea and yucky taste in my mouth that I did not have with the taxol. But the pain is much better and tolerable. Last night was the only time motrin did not seem to work and I took a percocet. Pain in my toes and fingers is quite minimal this time compared to taxol.
I guess my biggest issue now is considering taking off work until chemo is done.-2 more doses. I am so tired all the time. My red cells are down but he opted not to give me the arnesp. By the time I go to work and come home I am ready for bed. Not easy when you are a single parent and still have dinner, laundry and cleaning.
Leah, I did not watch the program. I guess I was having some pain and wasn't feeling like more cancer in my face-if you know what I mean. I like the quote you have written here though, it is so true. It is how I feel about work right now. When I was a hospice nurse I was told multiple times by patients that they never wished they had worked more but they had wished they had spent more time with family.... I too love your new pix. It makes me smile every time I look at it.
Belinda-my daughter came in last night all upset because she did poorly on a test in school. We had a long talk about keeping it all in perspective. I like the idea of simplifying the material things too. Maybe I will get some garbage bags and go to Goodwill!
Hillary-glad to hear your pain is controlled with taxol I know you had a hard time with AC and all the side effects.
Phyl my hat is off to you with all you are doing!
eyelashes and eyebrows are barely there but I have noticed new fuzz on the head. I use to be blonde and it looks a bit dark.
Good luck to everyone at the bar this week

I couldn't watch the Ted Koppel show. I guess I am just too "cancered out" right now, and don't want to watch anything even remotely sad. Am I being too much of an ostrich? (My DH did tape it for me in case I want to watch later however.) But I feel like I am just getting my positive outlook and energy back and I don't want to lose it by watching anything negative, if that makes sense?
Hillary, hope you and the others get that pain under control! To answer your question on statistics, I am ER+ PR+ HER2-. I am that most classic of statistics, mid 50s with sporadic hormone positive BC and no family history. (I always did like the classics, but this is ridiculous!)
Leah your photo is awesome, still can't tell that is not your real hair!! And you do have a marvelous smile that makes me happy just looking at it.
I am getting a bit of fuzz coming in now, but it is very uneven! I have a longer spot on the crown of my head that seems very dense and kinky!! As I have always had stick straight fine hair, this could be interesting.0 -
Hi all - I just couldn't bring myself to watch the Ted Koppel show either. I think it was the title that really turned me off, as like Vegas, I just felt too "cancered out" to tune in. Vegas, I think your feelings are natural and I feel the same way. This online support group is great because we can talk about what we want to when we want to and it is more like a bonding forum. However, information from other sources and other people can sometimes just be too much.
That being said, someone on another section of the message board posted that the NY Times ran an article today called "The Struggle to Move Beyond 'Why Me?'" that I thought was excellent. I have provided the link below for those who are up to reading it. I, personally, found that it really puts things in perspective. Let me know what you all think if you read it.
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/08/health/08case.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
Regarding statistics, I am ER+/PR+/HER2-, no family history, no dominant risk factors, and I was 37 when diagnosed. So I am always referred to as a "young" BC patient - oh well.
I am trying to eat and drink as much as I like and enjoy being able to really taste before trip #2 to the bar for taxol on Thurs. I really hate that this treatment precedes Mother's Day weekend, as I won't be up to doing a lot. However, I know if I were still on the AC I would be feeling even worse, so I'll try to look at things from the more positive perspective.
Steph0 -
Nope, no Ted Koppel for me either. Just sick of it on a day to day basis just couldn't voluntarily sit thru it LOL
I'm definately getting stubble!!
Belinda welcome back! I threw all that crap away also. teehee Don't need the clutter, got enough of that in my head.
And Catherine, my view point exactly (at least on MOST days) you could get hit by a bus tomorrow. I try to tell myself I at least know now to savor every day. Even the bad ones.
Hugs and Kisses to all.......off to the bar in the morning for #3...........Marsha0 -
Hi! I had an uneventful taxol #3 drink at the bar. It may not be that gorgeous red color that we all grew to love and hate, but it certainly takes longer to drink!
The taxol infusion may have been uneventful, but I had an interesting discussion with my onc before hand. I haven't talked much about this, but my breast history is a bit complicated. I found the lump on my left breast about seven months after a clean mammogram. I have dense breasts and the lump showed up better by US. I had an immediate FNA which told me right then and there that I had cancer.
I met with a breast surgeon about two weeks later. My husband and I decided to go with the lumpectomy, with the idea that breast conservation was a better idea and I could always do more a later date. Before my lumpectomy, I had an MRI on both breasts. The MRI clearly showed one lump on my left breast, but also showed something suspicious, though likely benign, on my right breast. I decided to go ahead with the lumpectomy and SNB. The SNB was clean (0/2 nodes checked), the tumor was triple negative, but the lumpectomy had one "close margin" at the chest wall. At my first post-op, my bs told me that she cleaned out all that she could and did not recommend reexcision. The radiation should take care of anything there. It is likely that even if I had a mastectomy of the left breast, radiation would still be needed.
In the meantime, my oncologist wanted me to have an MRI-guided biopsy on the right breast before starting chemo. The biopsy showed that the lump was benign -- a fibroadenoma. However, the biopsy also picked up a microscopic amount of LCIS. At the time, my onc told me not to worry about the LCIS and to start chemo.
Well, chemo is almost over. I'm going to meet the radiation oncologist in two weeks (between my visit with my onc and my last chemo!).
Today, I talked to the oncologist about what to do about the LCIS. LCIS is a pre-cancerous condition that increases the risk of breast cancer in either breast by one-half to one percent per year. He offered three options, that could be done in combination:
(1) careful screening, alternating MRI and mammogram every six months;
(2) prophylatic bi-lateral mastecomy
(3) five years of tamoxifen (preventitive for a new recurrence that might be ER positive).
My gut-feeling is that if I'm going to do a prophylatic bi-lateral mastectomy (likely with immediate reconstruction), I need to be in much better shape than I am. Also, I'd want the radiation on the left side to have healed.
I certainly want to do the careful screening, alternating mammograms (and I hope US) with MRIs.
I'm not sure at all about the tamoxifen.
I'm going to try to gather as much information as I can before meeting my two doctor's appointments next week.
Any thoughts from my wonderful fellow cruisers?
-- Hillary0 -
Stubble here also! I asked the onc about it today as I am still on TEC. One more to go and I am done! I finally asked for my tumor markers today. All is good.
Leah...what's with the switcheroo? Your original avatar is now posted. I am so confused...I think you are playing games with us...and, I love games!
Very short post today. I am wiped out from #5. They had to go into my thumb for the vein today. I bet that will be sore!

Hi, everybody. Glad to know most of you are doing well. Abraxane #3 went fine... 4 hours there for 1 hour infusion total (abraxane + avastin)... they realized they could do it differently next (and last) time to cut down the waiting: blood count first before seeing the onc, then, based on WBC results, start to dissolve the glue... eh... kidneys!!! I don't mind, that's my "library day"...
Blood count was a bit better than last time (WBC and RBC were up some...), so no Neulasta for me... and a nice all natural grass-fed ribeye steak (1 for 2) tonight...
I visited the Discovery site yesterday and saw a few clips of the Koppel interviews... but, like most of you, right now I'd rather focus on something else, not to mention I have a lot of work to do... I barely started (got the files only yesterday) and already feel behind... as I always did and do, BC or not BC... I am a champion procrastinator...
I took Toby for a short walk when I came back from chemo since the weather is so exquisitely beautiful and not too hot. I'll end up working on my portable computer outside, on the deck, with the honey fragrance of alyssum floating in the air... concentration (and therefore productivity) may go way south...:)
Well, time to go translate a few pages...
Take care,
Catherine0 -
Mel,
That is the new one! No switcheroo! My wig is just a slightly straighter version of my previous hair! Or were you just teasing me??0 -
Steph, thank you for the article link, I sent it to my family to read.
I made a big decision, we are going to keep our horses yet. I had to promise I wouldn't move the hay bales at all and leave it up to hubby to do that. So ordered my hay for this next winter. If he feels its too much for him to handle then I will willingly give them up next year.
I bought a compression sleeve for flying only to get a letter today saying my son might be put back again (alreadly delayed the grad date due to having pnemonia twice) this time due to a left knee and right ankle injury during cruicible week (last week) at marine boot camp. So hanging here waiting for a call to see if his May 30th graduation has definatly been changed to a later date. He doesn't seem to be having much better luck than his Mom and Dad lately!0 -
Hi all!
First I thought Id give my .02 on the Ted Koppel documentary. It was on too late for me here on Sunday, so I caught it last nite. It was truly a very uplifting and inspiring piece. Remember, the purpose was to talk about LIVING with Cancer. Having read Lance Armstrongs book and seeing that they were going to profile him (If you dont know, he was stage 4 and now 11 years NED), I HAD to watch. When I saw that it was 3 hours, I assumed that the last hour would be the Town Hall and that I would turn it off at that point. Wrong! I was absolutely riveted and sat thru the entire 3 hours! They spent a lot time profiling Ted Koppels best friend, Leroy, whose story was just simply extraordinary. He has a blog that Im going to Google that is brutally honest. Yes, there were uncomfortable truths, but all in all it was full of hope, courage, dignity and humor. If it came on again, I would watch it again.
Leah When is your second opinion, or did you have it already? Did you like the Onc? Sending a big hug your way and hoping that the visit brought good news and lots of options.
Pat Put me down for the same SEs. So far its pretty much mirroring tx # 1, except that last nite vicadin didnt completely kick the pain, but it did make me more comfortable. I only take half the dose, just one at bedtime, another might have done the trick, but I didnt try it. Its still there today, but not near as bad. I expect it to be completely gone by tomorrow or the next day. I dont know about you kids, but I still say that my worst day on Taxol is a hundred times better than my best day on A/C.
Catherine I had to smile on your traveling light comments. Seems like many of us are having the same idea! I have been planning on doing some Goodwill donations of my own in the very near future. To me the urge to clean out my closet isnt quite as much about downsizing as it is about nesting. I have this urge to have the entire house re-organized.
Belinda Welcome back! I was just saying about a week ago that we lost about 20 people who originally posted. I know about 4-5 of them went to the March board, but Ive often wondered what happened to everyone else. Its good to hear from you again! Ok, about the fuzz ..Ive had the softest white peach fuzz since shortly after I lost all of my hair. It appears to be growing and coming in evenly. Definitely not enough to go without the wig, anyone who didnt look closely would think I was still bald as a cucumber.
But, Ive decided that if I still have it by next week, Im going to start on the Nioxin. My chemo buddy at work used it and I was amazed at how fast his hair came back after chemo.
Karen So glad to hear that you had a great time with the family! How are you feeling this week? Well, I hope!
Vegas I still need to drop my friend a note and tell her about you! I know that even if you dont know each other, your paths have crossed. What a small world! Im loving everyones hair descriptions. Cant wait til I have enough hair to post a pix of!
Steph Thanks for the link. I will definitely check it out. And BTW, happy early Mothers Day to you and all the Moms on the board. I hope that you are all feeling well enough to enjoy your day!
Marsha Did you have fun at your friends? Great that it was during the off week. Thinking of you and all your drinking buddies at the bar tomorrow.
Hillary Glad to hear your trip to the bar was uneventful. Im starting to LOVE uneventful! I sure wish I had some words of wisdom to share regarding your decision. I can only offer support. Ive been grateful that theres so much info available to us via the internet, etc., and Ive used every bit of it in discussions with my Onc.
Melanie Congrats on only having one more to go! I have two and Im starting to get excited already! Im starting to look at what options are available for radiation. I think I might be interested in one of the shorter txs, if Im a good candidate. My surgerys in June and I dont know how long they make you wait before they start tx. Still time to research. BTW OUCH on the thumb!
Well, so far, Im back to working full time and doing less from home with the exception of chemo days. Its working well, and I dont feel like Im pushing it. However, when I get home from work and after dinner, I am so done!
Catherine, Leah & Jan - looks like we were all posting at the same time! Catherine, it will be nice that you can get the next one done quicker. At my Oncs office, they have us arrive an hour prior to chemo. First is labs and they access the port, then the Doc's visit, then chemo. It's still 4-5 hours, but the only sitting around one does is during chemo.
Jan - I'm so happy you're keeping your horses. We all know that they are your "furry babies!"
Leah - when I changed my avatar, it didnt appear right away. Cached info perhaps? Anyway, maybe that's what some saw on yours. (I love that pix of you too!)
Big Hugs to all and thinking of you at the bar tomorrow.
Carynn0 -
Well, actually, its the beginning of the afternoon here in Adelaide! I am so excited to hear all of you getting hair, and travelling on through chemo.
Hillary - just wanted to mention that I have had one mastectomy to get rid of my tumours, and then, before I started chemo, I requested a prophylactic removal of my other breast. I found it ecame quite clear in my head that if I was going to go through chemo, and radiation, that I wanted absolutely no chance of cancer returning on my other side. This became a lot clearer, too, because it was really only after my first mastectomy that I started to understand about lymphodoema, and I most certainly did not want to go through another axillary dissection. And, as expected, the surgery was quite easy - much much easier than my first mastectomy and axillary clearance. Probably only about 1/3 of the pain during recovery, no cording, much less tightening from scarring, and my arm was working normally almost right away (on the other side it took weeks).
Most of all, if was one less thing to do my head in during chemo, and one big big worry out of the way.
My surgeon said it was very common for woment ot come through chemo and think " I am not going through that aain - take the other breast off". He was a bit startled that I decided that so quickly, but supportive as well.
Oh, and like you, I had a wierd history. I had a clear mammogram as soon as I turned 40, then at 41 (March 06), had a bloody discharge, had it checked thoroughly - nothing showed on US or mammogram at all. Surgeon removed the duct - nothing showed in pathology - put it down to mastitis (NOT!). Then, in January, I went back, sore armpit - only one node showed on the mammogram - nothing else. BUT a FNA found a small cancerous lump in my breast. They eventually found after mastectomy that I had a 4x3x3.5 cm tumour, two others about 1cm, and tumours in 6 of 19 nodes. 17 cms all together. What freaked me out was that, with dense breasts, the cancer could sneak back in and it might be too late again before it was able to be acurately detected.
Can you tell? - I am happy with my decision.
Good luck, whatever you decide. My decision won't be for everyone, but if you do go there don't be afraid. (BTW - I am in better shape now but at the time, I was 92kgs and very unfit - it was just FINE. Mastectomy without axillary dissection is not a very invasive kind of surgery, as the tissie they remove is all external).
Bxxx0 -
Carynn,
You have a fabulous memory! (forget chemo brain!) My consults are today at Mass General Hospital, and I am both excited and nervous. I will post as soon as I get home this afternoon. One is a breast surgery consult, the other a "triple negative" consult to see if there is anything that I can take proactively that might stop the cancer from starting up again. I will report on both. I am praying.
On another note, I lose my Oracle consulting gig on June 30 due to budget cuts. I am a contractor, so 30 days notice is it. Not sure if I am going to work this summer or not.
Back later.0 -
Leah...I swear, right now I see your original avatar. The hair is darker with little waves. The new one that I saw a couple of weeks ago looked lighter and straighter and set back from the screen just a tiny bit further. Am I going nuts?
I am going to go back and read the posts, so I can catch up! Then I am expecting a call from my Disneyworld planners. We love WDW and I am planning a 45th birtday extravaganza for myself in October. We are taking 10 friends and it will be a secret from everyone...not even DH will know my plans. I have a private "after the park closes" dinner party in the Great Movie Ride, same goes with another evening at Animal Kingdom, a fireworks yacht cruise and a "before the park opens" breakfast in France!!! I am so excited. This planning has been a great distraction for me.
I forgot to see who is at the bar today...warm smiles to all of you.0 -
Monday - Phyl
Tuesday - Hillary, Catherine, Melanie
Wednesday - Marsha, Wendy, Pat
Thursday - StephJ, Piper, Terry, Twink
Phyl -- Are you OK?
Catherine and Melanie -- I'm assuming that your drinking sessions were uneventful.
Hugs to Marsah, Wendy, Pat today ...
-- Hillary0 -
Leah, I love your wig! Looks so YOU! Ditto what Melanie said about your avatar, I was thinking the same thing. Well I'm off the see the Wizard so I'll check back later. Have a wonderful day everyone.
Pat0 -
Pat...whew...at least you are seeing the same thing I am!
Hillary; How are you doing today? I go for my Neulasta shot after lunch. I hope you are all over the worst of it all.
Catherine; Wondering how you are doing also...0 -
Melanie -- I'm still on the decadron high (put into my IV). The day of taxol I'm tired and buzzed, alternately. The next day (today), I'm usually OK, just starting to get a bit nauseaous. Tomorrow, day 3, is when the fun typically starts, with nausea and bone pain. I'm really hoping that taxol #3 will be as free as hand and foot neuropathy as taxol #2!
I'll be going for my neulasta shot this afternoon as well. My WBC have been fine, but I've needed aranesp shots after taxol #2 and #3 for anemia (Hb at 10.1 and 10.4, respectively).
-- Hillary0 -
The first one is the original, and the second is the wig! Hubby says you need to "clean out your cache" which just sounds like more work to me!
{{{{HUGS}}}}0 -
Leah -- Have you had your consults yet?
0 -
Yes. Wow. What a difference going to a world-class institution! I went to Mass General Hospital, and the Yawkey Center for Breast Cancer Excellence is amazing. Everything is breast cancer and all its related things. I decided to let Dr. Barbara Smith do my surgery, so I am EKG'd and blood sampled and even had the flow of someting in my arms measured so that they can monitor me for lymphedema! I was most impressed with the research and knowledge that they had at their fingertips, and what she was advising me, she said, would have even been different 6 months ago, but a new study was in and therefore changed the way they thought about things.
Anyway, bottom line: she says becuase I only have the one small lesion in the liver, and everything else is so clean, and I am stabilized right now as a result of the chemo, she is thinking of me as a Stage II person, and therefore all the nodes have to go. They can regrow anytime, and will cause me pain in the future. More importantly, she said I should have the liver tumor RFA;d immediately, (rather than waiting to see if it grows) while I am stable. Then all known cancer would have been cut out, and if I stay stable, then keep going. If not, more chemo. She had a very different way of looking at things, so I am interested in what the onco man says.
She said that there is research going on for triple negatives, all involving "platinum based agents" and trials also. She didn't know if I qualified right off, but she would be researching. So off I go to find out what I can.
She showed me where she will cut, and what she will do to minimize both breast scars and bad effects from the axillary dissection, so I am confident that she is at least aware of all the things I am worried about. And seemed equally concerned that I have a beautiful breast when I am done. I really appreciated that.
So for now, clear sailing. Let me know if I skipped anything...
I am so happy right now.0 -
I will be meeting everyone at the bar in the morning for taxol number 2. I have been putting in a lot of hours this past week and beginning of this week. And so far so good. I had very little nausea on taxol but moderate bone and joint pain. this is definiately easier than ac
Piper0 -
Leah -- That is fantastic news! You should go out and celebrate tonight!
-- Hillary0 -
Leah; That is wonderful news! I bet you are on cloud 9 about now. Your Dr. sounds very well informed and wants you to be also. I was a bit upset with my onc yesterday. I had sent notes earlier to him about research on Triple Negs and he "informed" me that he had been using my type protocol for years and was convinced it worked best. Maybe he was having a bad day...but, I am having lots of bad days lately. I feel like I am his "problem child", when I just really want him to educate me and answer my questions thouroughly. I had a long talk with DH last night and said that if I ever have to go through anything like this again, I will at least get an opinion from a place like MD Anderson.
Hillary; My day 3 is almost always my worse also. I feel pretty good today, just a bit tired. Clara is my "injections" nurse and when I got there today, she was taking a man to a private room for an injection. When she returned, I asked her if he had to drop his pants. Yup. She said some of them want to drop them when she doesn't need them to. Said one "little old man" comes into the main injection room and always drops his pants to the floor, even though she tells him not to. She said the little ladies in there don't appreciate that at all...can you just imagine!?!?
I wonder how Tink is doing. I often think about her going through this and being pregnant. I hope she is okay.0 -
Good Evening everyone!
Hillary Glad to hear youre feeling well. I was surprised to hear you mention nausea. I havent felt a bit of it on Taxol. While my taste is still off the first week of tx, even that hasnt been to the degree of A/C. Just a little finger numbness and the bone pain days 3-7 or 8. I have found it to be sooo much easier to take.
Leah How funny your hubby said the same as me cache. Probably just deleting temp internet files would do for those still seeing your old pix. But more importantly, Im doing such a happy dance for you! I was intrigued by your mention of RF. Are they talking about the same procedure they talked about on the Ted Koppel documentary? Did they mention if the platinum protocol was similar to what Lance Armstrong had? Im probably asking the same questions as you, and forgive me if Im being too nosy, but hey, us IT folks are always analyzing! Im so very happy for your good news. Please keep us posted as you learn more!
Hiya Piper Thinking of you during your bar time tomorrow. How many left? Seems we are all on the countdown now!
Melanie That is hysterical about the man coming into the main infusion room and dropping his pants! Nothing that exciting has happened at my Oncs office!
Twink if youre out there, love the new photos on the blog! I love to take pix and bought a new SLR and lenses last year. I saw a really really cool picture I think it was on the Livestrong site. Im going to try to duplicate it with me. If Im successful, Ill post it here. Hope you are doing well!
Sent DH out with the boys tonite. I stopped on the way home at the Half Price Bookstore and bought Lances second book and Romos biography (any football fans out there?) I pretty much only read biographies and autobiographies. I cant wait to go to bed early and get started on the books. Cant decide which to read first! Ill definitely be set for next weeks bar appointment! Well, Ive been doing great weight-wise, and am going to indulge in a bit of fast food and relax. Enjoy your evening everyone.
