Hey everyone! Sorry for all the IOS!
Luann I agree - it gets old. I just try to do my best to ignore it.
My IOS - just that my summer break is almost over. Went back to school for a workshop yesterday. And I know - most people would love to have summer off like us teachers. I get it that I shouldn't complain but HEY it sucks to have to be heading back!

lol....had to chime in on the "bullshit at the corner of your mouth" Maxine and.....gsg....this freaking CRACKED ME UP!!!!!!!!!!!!! "since chemo wiped my brain clean and then coated it with teflon so nothing sticks."
rotflmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
I love Maxine, she is a riot, thanks Shirley she will make anyone smile! Such a nice thing to wake up to. And just to be clear, it isn't this thread or anyone here I am referring to. After all this thread is the "IOS" if you can't voice your negative here, where can you????? It is just some people jump into threads and just leave those nasty grams, to me it's so dang hurtful and mean to some people here that just don't deserve that! Anyway, whoever said I was "too nice" does not know me well. Just ask the people that know me, I am a very nice person til you cross me then the gloves come off!

Traci--not only does nothing stick, most of it doesn't function--what does rotflmao mean?

Ladies, my IOS for the day - Cancer in general. Why is it that every little freaking pain or symptom immediately forbodes something worse?!!!! I'm a little anemic so onc said take Slow FE for iron, because of constipation (and I was before so now it's worse) I have to take stool softener. THAT I can deal with. Other bowel movement issues but that's TMI. But now I have pain/pressure on the upper right side of my abdomen under my rib cage. CT scan (three months ago) said possible gall stones. But why would it start to bother me now!!!??? Oh well, small issues but that's what I've got today.
Gentle Hugs All
Trish
PS - Traci - it's RAINING!!!!!!!

You're putting it on wrong. Try wearing it flat instead of vertically.

Oh Hanna! You are so full of wit and humor this past page or so! Did you find a secret OTC that put you in this great mood, b/c I think we could all use your secret!
Quickly. MY IOS is the danged guys out front have chewed up and spit out the road (the asphalt) so it's about 12 inches deep. Did they tell me this morning, I would NOT be able to get out my drive? Heck no! WHO the Hell-O am I? Just a peon, right!? IDIOTS! I'm ticked and my brother is coming in from out town in 2 hours, and the way here it crazier than the guys doing the road! Then there's the fact, that I was up early yesterday am, to move dd from her appt where her idiot marine bf was breaking up her stuff yet again!, so we moved her out! Now my house is storage unit, and her cat (who is sweet) but turns my two cats into demons) is staying in the garage/workshop on her couch and such. Then I was up till 12:30 slicing/dicing/baking for dh's work week, and forgot his burgers! So at 4:30 I get up to them. Now i'm exhausted and make just to borrow a couple shovel friends to help me bury the workers bodies. Do you think anyone would notice that asphalt grinding truck coming at them with a UniBoob, hair thinning, crazed from NO ESTROGEN woman driving it????????????? UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay....back to your IOS! That sucks the big time ladies! I hope it's not your GB, but then again, better solution than other problems, like acid reflux, or other problems from all the meds we've taken over the last year or so!
GSG...If she wears your undies around her neck, I'm sorry, but I'll have to write you both out of my wills my dear!
Too funny! Good thing, non-cancer people read these threads, b/c they'd think we all had great drugs in our homes and rob us!

GSG - OMG that is sooooooooo funny! I have to show it to my sister because she wears "thongs" on her feet and bottom!

Nancy, Loved your post. You are right about negative people. I do the same thing, try to avoid. Unfortunately I work closely with one who happens to genuinely like me--and I like him too, when he's not in negative mode. I have started to just walk away when I hear him in that negative place--hoping he will make the connection. LuAnn, I agree some people get on here and make posts for attention or just sheer meanness because that is who they are and they get something from the fallout. It's really sick. Try not to let it get you, sweetie. Go breathe some tree air if you can and release the hurt of this. You don't need to hold on to it. Hugs to you..Harley--too much bleeding is more that a full pad or tampon in one hour is what I was always given as a guideline. I am envying you the beach today--the beach where you are is so beautiful.Shirley--I love Maxine--I think I may use the "wipe your mouth--there's still a little bullshit left around your lips" one at work!
Waiting for resultlt of my CT scan, I think (hope) they will call today. I am enjoying being home alone, but didn't really think about being alone when I get these results.
Sigh.

{{Well, we'll be here with you girl}} To hear those clean results and celebrate with you, you know that!
A day home alone after the last couple is a welcomed changed. Dbro stopped on his way through town. Lives 2 hours north and was heading 2 hrs S/E, so after yesterday I was really happy when he said he couldn't stay long and had to get on the road again! WHEW~I hear a pillow calling my name....something about we didn't have enough 'quanity' time last night. See, my pillow likes a minimum of 6 hours and only got 4, so ....Got to please the pillow! Nap time! Enjoy your days and prayers for no to have ANY suckiness!

Nicki, what is that in your new avatar?

Felicia, could it be a dog? LOL
I'm lazy right now. So, since this thread is the bitch, moan, groan, slap, kick, punch, bury (you know..the good ole shovel) I'm just going to post a quote that I found on my paper towel. And, I even had to write it down because of my "teflon brain" Patrice so eloquently described. LOL
"A burden shared is half as heavy....."
Oh, Patrice, I'm going to get some of those thongs. At least it they won't feel like butt floss. I know one of my dds wears them..maybe two. I just wear my old granny panties. If I put on bikini undies I'd just keep pulling them up and they end up being butt floss.
IBBL. You girls are too funny. You've made me laugh.
Shirley

LOL@Shirley. I wear granny panties too. I don't even care if they stick over the top of my slacks anymore. They're comfortable.
I think Nicki's av is a horse looking into the camera.
0 -
lol.....letting your granny panties stick out of your slacks makes them more fashionable! That's what the girls with t-backs do!!!
Felicia - Can you see the horse now? LOL!!!
Sue, waiting to hear from you girl.....!!!!!!

Grannie panties sticking out of the top of your slacks....it's just frosting on the muffin top, right?
I think nicki's avatar is a gorilla face. Or dh in the morning. I'm totally not seeing horse-face though.
You guys crack me up. Hope you have non-sucky weekends!!
(((HUGS)))
Dianebtw, my IOS today is that the XELODA did NOT arrive. GRRRRRRRR Not even gonna get started on that one...
0 -
Diane: What????? Are you kidding? When do they say it'll get here now? That sucks!
Hey, what does IOS mean?
My husband e-mailed me something today that really made me laugh: You know you're menopausal if you sell your home heating system at a yard sell.
0 -
GSG? Is that funny? I thought that was normal this time of year...to sell your furnace? After all, my A/C this summer costs us more than the heating in the worse of winter! OMG! Tis a good thing dh is on the road and didn't see that bill! 
It's been 60 at night and I still have it on in the bedroom with the door closed and I'm hot!

I'm worried about Sue......

Sue posted the following on the http://community.breastcancer.org/forum/69/topic/704215?page=71
*********************Well, it's COB (close of business, before you ask) on Friday and no call about the scan. I guess I get to wait through the weekend. Do they wait longer if it's bad news? Possibly the doctor just can't face telling me there is something there? Don't you love this waiting part?
I don't. ******************************
Thus it sounds she is up for a long weekend of worry just to find out on Monday that all is clear! Thinking about SUE and sending {{hugs}} to hold you till you call them first thing monday morning, and ream them for not letting you know before closing on Friday! How inconsiderate!

You know? As MUCH I would NEVER wish this on anyone else, I sometimes wish doctors were told during their training that they or a loved one had a possible fatal/serious injure or illness on a Wednesday, but that someone would call them 24-48 hours with more definite news. Then they diddn't get that call that this is a test and only a test!
JUST TO LET THEM KNOW HOW very upsetting, nerve blasting and just plain cruel it is to wait for test results, how small they appear to someone who deals with it daily. It's not their life and they have no idea what it does to ones Psyche!

Ha, who would have thought a new avatar could stir so much conversation. You all made me laugh this morning. Ding Ding Ding - GSG guessed it right. Its a horse peaking in with one eye. I love horses and I wanted to let you all know that even if I havent been here, Im peaking in at you and wishing a big that sucks to all who need one.
Going to work early has been good for me. My body likes the 7:00 am to 3:30 hours. Guess Im just used to it from all my years working as a staff nurse. When I get home, the battle ground begins. DH and I are competing for the computer all the time now. Yesterday - he interrupted me 5 times in 30 minutes. I got so frustrated I just said the heck with it. He finially got the hint when I said to him "your more addicted to the computer than me." So he waited until I fell asleep which was shortly after that little snide remark and went right back on it. I know, cause I woke up with a sweet tooth!
I sure have missed so many of you. There are a weeks worth of IOS's that I need to catch up on. And thank goodness - its early morning, so no interruptions! We will be celebrating our 30th anniversary on August 26th. Dont know where all the time went. At one point yesterday, I told my DH that I thought a good present to each other would be a laptop! Didnt get a response from him! But at least I gave him a big hint! I put in for vacation time and will be off the week of Labor Day. I cant believe that some children are already back in school. The Summer is slowly coming to an end. I guess thats my IOS. I dont want summer to end.
Sue: I have looked and looked and cant find out about the CT scan. Waiting for results really sucks especially over a week-end. So you have the house to yourself? I love it when Im alone and can do whatever I want - when I want to. BTW! I do have my own personal theory when it comes to tests results. If something is wrong - you get a call sooner! So Im hoping your test results is AOK!
Diane: I know I read your post somewhere here this past week about the sucky insurance company and your chemo. Seems like as our treatment gets more sophisticated, the harder it is to get the insurance companies to cover it. I hear they are giving problems to many who are taking oral chemo pills. Im figuring that pretty soon, the insurance companies will only cover preventative medicine. Once diagnosed with something - they will drop us like hot potatoes. Not getting your xeloda SUCKS! BTW I got a good visual of the avatar looking like a gorilla and then thinking it was my DH in the morning. Got a good laugh out of that theory.
Wish: So I see your still in the middle of road construction woes. That so sucks! I have noticed a big difference this year with construction. There is a definite attitude. If you dont like it, they answer seems to be 'DO WHAT!" I loved your theory about doctors. I will be you one thing for sure - they would not be waiting for their chemo to arrive. In fact, the pharmaceutical companies would be giving them handfuls of it for free!
Traci: Hi to you! Thanks for letting us know about Sue. Im totally lost and confused as to whats been going on he in our bitching thread.
GSG: I laughed so hard at selling your furnice at a yard sale. There is a window right above my bed - only on my side! I dont care how cold it is, in the Winter - I have opened my window many a time.
Shirley: "A burdon shared is half as heavy." Oh I like that quote alot. I think that is the main reason I come to these boards. Someone always says something to make another feel better. Your pictures have been cracking me up. Words and Wisdom by "maxine" how much better can it get? Granny underpants? A must in my house. Of course my mother still whispers in my ear, white, cotton and clean!
Felicia: I just saw your signature. Never really noticed it before. "Dont let the ponytails fool you?" OMG you made me laugh this morning. Im loving it.
Trish: I have one of those wussy dogs myself. God forbid if he gets his paws wet! He is half black lab and half border collie - so he is bred to like water - NOT!
Hanna: Hi to you. Your posts always manage to make me smile. Work has taken over my life! In a good way - but I miss talking to all of you. Im the week-end warrior!
Today I will be going to a pool party at my SIL's. There will be over 85 people there. Im so looking forward to it - NOT! That will be 85 people coming up to me, telling me how good I look - when the reality it - they will be saying can you believe how much weight she has gained? And of course it will be subtle looks at my no longer booby chest. How are your feeling? Is it good now? Ya know - all the regular questions. I have this pretty purple - I dont know what you call it - but its one of those things you wear over your bathing suit. It goes down to the floor - and thats what Im going to wear. No one will be able to see anything lol.
Im wishing everyone a good day. A big that sucks to all who need it. Hi to everyone I missed.
OH I forgot. Im thinking of changing my name from chemosabi to? Got any suggestions?

Hi everyone:
So far today is a good one - no IOS - which means Issues of Suckiness - for those who didn't know. Lunch with one friend, then bridge tonight with some other friends to challenge my chemo brain even more.. lol.
Is an avatar the picture posted by your name? Nicki, I saw a horse peeking around the corner right away. You could use something with equestrian in it for a new name - but I love chemosabi.
Teflon brain is priceless. I used to say mine was a combination of swiss cheese and a colander. The swiss cheese part was the bigger holes where things had fallen out and the colander part was unable to keep anything new in. Good reason for craft, crs and psd (cant remember a fricking thing, cant remember shi* and premature senile dementia)...
I am constantly misplacing things, and it was good to hear I am not alone. If my head was not attached, I would forget it also. The waiting is a HUGE SUCKINESS. Add wait to the 4 letter word list, along with pain and fear.
HUGS, Nancy

Traci, I'm here, I'm okay, I'm calling you today. Sorry I made you worry, I posted over on Starting Chemo in May and just got too pooped to post and went to bed.....feeling better this morning. I "know" the scan is going to be fine, I just NEED TO SEE IT IN BLACK AND WHITE. And Nicki, it was for four areas they saw in my lungs in March that the radiologist said were "highly suggestive of granulomas" but the next sentence was "With the history of breast cancer, metastatic disease must be considered". My onc said radiologists are notoriously conservative and if he weren't 99% sure they were granulomas he wouldn't have used the word. Ditto for the second sentence, covering his ass. They wanted to wait to repeat the scans until after rads but I convinced them to do it after chemo. Had it done on TUESDAY and felt sure I would NOT be waiting through the weekend......
Diane, that sucks that your meds didn't arrive. Waiting sucks.
Wish, thanks for being angry for me. Feels like my sister defending me at the bus stop
I think the test in training for doctor students is a great idea, they don't know how it feels. 0
