drive by ladies...have been out of commission with no time to catch up...taxol sucks for me...back at work today with much to do but had to pop on and tell Traci CONGRATULATIONS ON THE DALLAS WIN. Knowing it made you happy made it easier for me losing.
I hope everyone is safe and dry and not having too much IOS...hope to catch up soon. If I could just beat the fatigue...

OMG LuAnn--I can see why it didn't make you feel any better. I'm doubling my prayers for your son (and you) and lighting a candle right now. I'm a military mom, but my son's boots are not on the ground in Iraq, so I can only imagine how you feel. The closest I've come is when the USS Cole was bombed, my son was on another ship in the Gulf, and for 3 days I cried and wore a path between the computer and TV trying to find news. That can't even come close to what you're experiencing. Please keep us posted.
{{{{{{Love}}}}}}} and {{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}

LuAnn, I also know some of what you are feeling. I have a best friend who is in the reserves and she was on the ground in downtown Baghdad after the regime fell and we didn't hear from her for weeks at a time. We heard that someone from her unit was killed and we worried until we heard it wasn't her but a buddy of hers. I am also a military mom, my son is getting ready to get out of the Navy but in January, he was on one of the ships threatened by the Iranian gun boats in the Straights of Hormus. He sent me a text msg on Sunday morning saying 'we had a run in with some gun boats but don't worry I'm ok.' He would go for days without emailing me then when they had email capabilities, he could only say he was ok. Since his ship returned, he has been more open with me on some of what was going on during the last deployment. My niece is now heading out on her ship for a 8 month cruise.

Holy Jamoley I haven't been online since 9/11, and there are over 100 posts! I'm marking my spot, and will go back and read with fascination - I saw the word "poop" an awful lot as I was scrolling down to this tiny little box!
A big hello and thatsux to all!

Hey ya'll,
I just wanted to pop in here to say a BIG THAT SUCKS to all who need it!
My big IOS today is that a little over a week ago, I felt a lump on one of my new breasts... so I am here to tell you that any of you who has had mast., you still can get a lump. Today I went to see my surgeon, and he also felt it. He ordered an u/s, so I'll be doing that on Oct. 2nd. Gee, today, while I was sitting there in the examining room, I was thinking "here I go again!" My surgeon said that he thinks it is just a cyst. Man, did it ever hurt! When I found my bc, over 1 1/2 years ago, it didn't hurt.I have also been having this sore neck for about a month now. I guess I'll also have to go see my dr. about maybe getting an MRI to make sure everything is ok.
Shirley,
I hope your onc appt. went well. How's Abby doing?
Well, I better get going. I have to work tomorrow.
Hope everyone has no IOS's tomorrow.

WhaSux???
I hope to get myself back on course soon, but it's been hard lately--today starts my week OFF xeloda! Sorry--Been away too long again-I already forgot most of what I wanted to respond to-----
LuAnn----war is hell----I HATE it!! Huge respect for your son & what he is doing. God give you peace while you keep the home fires burning!
Maria----THAT SUX! I am on 3,500 mg xeloda. To answer the other questions: I use the lotions, I have been on glucosamine/condroiton/msn for years--IT REALLY DOES HELP JOINTS! Been on 300 mg of B6 for over a year due to neuropathy from the abraxane....also on Magnesium for muscle cramps since I broke my femur last year BTW--magnesuim DOES eliminate chocolate cravings--I refused to take it just for that reason. I mean--who WANTS to not crave chocolate?? LOL I found out incidentally when taking it for legs & feet cramping while healing. Do you want me to take a page to list my other drugs & supplements?? LOL
Hugs to all the pet lovers with sick kitties. I just hate it when an animal is sick. I always say a prayer to St Francis to spare them.........
I did the volunteer thing today & was asked to come back tomorrow to socialize puppies. It feels like such an honor & gives me a reason to rise in the A.M. It's a good thing!!! I NEED to feel more useful/purpose oriented since I had to give up working...
LOL at the funny posts here---MORE poop-talk- only this time it's not a pet's but Dave Barrry's???!!!>>>>????? LOLOL---I love this thread------hope everyone stays dry & has power (in whatever terms you need it!) No IOS's for manana! HUGS & THAT SUX!!!!!!!
Be well & stay strong

A big THAT SUX to all!
Trying to catch up. Have been without power since Sunday morning when this freak wind storm came through with 70 mph winds and no rain. I had never seen anything quite like it, and I used to be a trained weather spotter for NOAH. We have more shingles on the ground than on our house. Trees and power lines down. School cancelled. They had orginally told us we would not have power until later in the week. My hubby borrowed a generator so I would not go totally crazy with nothing to do for days - so I had refrigeration and t.v. I can't read because of my painful eyes. My problems are nothing like those where the flooding and hurricanes actually hit. I hope y'all are safe.
This morning it was cool, so all four dogs crashed in my bed on top of me! Thankfully they are all tiny dogs. Nothing like snuggling next to a favorite pet or four. Hugs to the person having problems with a sick kitty. I have spent an absolute fortune on my furbabies in the past. I will spend it on their medical before my own. They give so much unconditional love, and it hurts so much to lose them to illness or old age.
My big IOS - I have the worst sore throat in I don't know when. Something I really hate about bc is it stole my ability to say, "It's probably nothing....just a sore throat...just a lump, whatever." Now everything seems to have a sinister meaning. My fever is low grade, so I guess it isn't serious. But it feels like I am swallowing razor blades. I took 2 pain pills and it didn't phase it. My pcp is out tomorrow, and I hesitate to call my onc with every little thing.
{{{LuANN}}} hugs and prayers for your son and you. I pray that we can get them all home soon. I'm not sure how you steel yourself to read the news. May you hear something soon.
{{{Harley}}} praying that your lump is nothing. I hate that you have to go through this waiting game again.
To everyone else, I'm sorry I can't remember everyone's situation. My chemo brain added to MS brain is a pitiful thing to witness. Anyone have any secrets for remembering each person? Please know I care, even if I didn't list you specifically.
Aus - welcome! I am rather new here myself, and have found this group to be so supportive, caring, funny and the very best.
Be well my friends. Hugs and love ...and a BIG OLE THAT SUCKS!! to everyone.

Good Morning and a big that sucks to everyone who needs it today.
My IOS - I was walking around for 2 days with unrelenting chest pain. Thought for sure I was having a heart attack. Of course in the beginning, going to the doctor was out of the question and I knew that would mean an immediate hospital admission. Finially gave in after eating stir fry and feeling it go down my esophagus and then hitting my stomach like a bomb exploded. Found out I have inflammation of my esophagus and lining of my stomach. Started taking protonix and I am back to normal! If its not one thing, its another.
Im so far behind - I will never catch up. Now a days Im limited to bitching, moaning, and groaning on the week-ends.
LuAnn: Hugs to you. Im not quite sure how the government is telling us that the war is over, unless its a political move. We lost two soldiers locally this past week-end. I sure hope you hear from your son and a big that sucks for the facts about the Iraq war being manipulated to help a certain political party. I love our men and women who are there, but want them to come home and want this war over.
Saint: Hi to you. Next time a group of you get together I want to come. I live so close to Lake Geneva I can see it from Illinois lol.
Colleen: Yep, once you get behind on this thread you get lost! The only reason Im here this morning is that my cat decided she was hungry and my dog decided he wanted to go out at 3:00am. My hours have turned upside down.
Harley: Sorry to read that you found another lump. That sucks, especially having a mastectomy. Hoping it all ok.
Shirley: Hoping you onc appointment went well.
A big hello to everyone else. Its still flooded here in parts of the Chicago area making my drive to work fretful. Hope everyone has a day free of IOS's.

Good morning to all.
I am sitting here at work waiting for the health department to open. For those of you that don't know- I manage an employee cafeteria for the makers of the fine Chinette paper plates. Yesterday there was a water main break. We are now under a 72 hour boil order. I am going to have to buy ice. I can't make coffee or tea. Theoretically, if you boil the water for 3 minutes you can use it to cook with. I am to paranoid to do this. As soon as all my crew gets here, I am going to go buy several gallons of bottled water. Being in the middle of a chemo cycle, I am not going to eat or drink anything made with water that will have to be boiled before you use it. The dishwasher is hot and has a built in sanitizing system in it, so the day won't be a sucky as it could be. I have my early birds coming in for their morning cup of coffee. Sorry no coffee. Have lots and lots of unhappy customers, and I don't think they are going to get much happier before the week is over. This boil order is in effect until Friday afternoon. And the fun just never stops.
A big IOS to everyone that needs one.
Helen

Good Morning....
Harley...WTF? I did not know you could get cysts after a BM. That is the whole reason I had both removed because they were full of cysts. Sh*T....just another thing to worry about. I do hope you are ok and it is just a cyst or maybe a lipoma (fat deposit). Do you still have periods? I had cysts really bad and they really hurt right before and during my periods. But I have been w/o periods for over 2 years now.
Luann...praying for your son....I know it is so scary. When my nephew was there...I could not watch the news. Then we found out at one point he was on that ship that had rockets shot over it! We did not even know he was on that ship.
Bliss....sorry about all the storm damage. Roof damage is the worst. I always worry about leaks. The nights have been cool here and so our kitties have been snuggling up with us. Last night I could not sleep. Wierd dreams about houses and rooms. Checked on the internet and it is probably all related to my upcoming surgery and fears. I was also hot one minute and cold the next. Kept getting up to open and close the windows and move the fan.
Today is errand day...oil change, tires rotated, library, grocery store, and gas fill up....uugghhh. Then to work for a couple of hours. I am getting very antsy.
Hope everyone has minimal suckiness today

Hi All,
just have to add one more thing. This weekend my husband put up a curtain pole and I had some pinch pleated drapes that we was to hang with the little clip rings in the upstairs guest bedroom. Well he did it and I just went up there. They looked funny at the bottom. He hung them upside down???????? The pinch pleats were at the bottom. Now he just helped me rehang 4 pr of drapes in our bedroom. Sheesh....gotta laugh and love the man. Now you see why I don't let him clean house. Well, back to house cleaning.

Debbie,
WTF?, indeed! I didn't want to ever have to go through all this again, and that is also one reason why I opted for the bi-lateral mast. However, my surgeon told me that we still need to remain vigilant about doing the bse's, because as he told me, he can't be sure that he got ALL my breast tisse, and there can still be growths... No, I don't have periods. Ten years ago, at age 35, I was dx'd with premature ovarian failure, which put me into menopause very early!
I had reconstruction, too, and he did tell me that he had a patient who had a cyst or SOME type of growth removed, and he was worried about rupturing that darn implant, while he was trying to get that 'mass' out... it turned out to be b-9, but still... another surgery? As much as I love my surgeon, I still don't want another surgery!!
At least your dh was trying to help, even if he put the drapes on upside down! lol My dh helps out, doing laundry sometimes. Just last week, he sorted the laundry, and did a load of 'whites', and he was so proud of himself! Well, I didn't notice that he also put one of my bras in there, 'cause it's white... I put it in the dryer! I like the padded bras, 'cause they make me look a little bigger, and they do not go in the dryer. Oh, well... at least they try to help!!
Helen,
Having to boil the water SUCKS! Having chemo and not being able to drink the water SUCKS! Hope they get your water main repaired, and soon!!
Bliss,
Having NO POWER SUCKS!! Thanks for the prayers... they help!
Nicki,
Thanks! My surgeon told me "Don't worry... " He must have said that a bunch of times. He is so nice! He also said that it hasn't been long enough for something to grow...
Well, I better get going, I gotta get to work today! I'm working from 12:00 til 6:00! That SUCKS, too!! But, business has slowed way down, so today is maybe the only day I will be working. It will be nice to have a few days off without dr. appts, I hope!
Hugs to all! A BIG THAT SUCKS to anyone who I may have left out!

WHASUX, y'all? I've been busy enjoying a bit of extra energy and feeling pretty good--so strange, considering I was afraid the TAXOL was going to kick my butt--and haven't kept up with all the posts here. A big "THAT SUCKS!" to everyone who needs it!
I am soooooooo thankful that my s/e's from TAXOL/AVASTIN haven't been bad so far, but I do have one s/e that is driving me nuts and is my IOS today: (BEWARE: serious TMI warning) Ok, so I know that constipation is a problem with chemo...I've always had a bit of a problem and would be glad for a weekly BM. So I started taking the SENNAKOT before I went in for the infusion and have been taking it regularly. Well, it seems to be moving things along...you know, cramps and all...I made about 30 trips to the bathroom Monday, but it was like there was a cork in my a$$. The cramps and the pain were so bad, I nearly vomited. Finally, after much sweating, groaning, and great effort, the BRICK let loose....OMG! It was like giving birth! And, it was so big and hard (I know...sorry it's so gross!) that it wouldn't flush. I've been drinking extra water and eating extra fiber, but it feels like it's happening again today. Oh, Joy! I think my blue eyes are going to turn brown because I'm so full of sh!t! I've re-read Kimmytoo's "mortified" thread and am trying to do all the things I should. I sooooooo hope this doesn't end up with a trip to the ER.
So, even though I promised no more poop stories a few pages back, I had to retract for this one. ICK
((((HUGS)))))
Diane0 -
Well poop Diane! I hate to hear when the old pooper shoot isn't working right LOL Seriously, are you taking senekot or senekot with S, you want the S for (stool softner), helps make it alot easier!
Helen I'm with you on the boil water, take out all the nasties you are used to drinking and it just isn't right!
Chemobrain, can't remember who has the cyst/lump but I hope it all comes out B9!
My big IOS is Today is another day that is just starting out wrong. I stayed up half the night flipping out thinking my DIL was out with someone she should not have been with. Turns out she was at a friends house whose grandmother is dying (this girls grandmother raised her) so she was sitting with her. Then I get a call from the US Government on the caller ID and NO ONE in my house felt the need to pick it up. Well no voice mail so after an hour of agonizing I call the number. Turned out to be a marine recruiter wanting to talk to my 17 year old. Boy did I give that marine heck for calling my house and scaring me that something has happened to my son in Iraq. Boy did I lose a heartbeat or two. Then while my son is on with the recruiter he did not pick up on call waiting. My onc called me personally! He never calls me and we did bloodwork Monday. I am now in a panic awaiting his call. Come to find out he called to let me know all my bloodwork is finally all back to normal after about 4 months of craziness with results. TM's were to an all time low. So he got an earful for calling me personally with good results.....WTF????? I am afraid for the rest of the day to go on.....

I'll be back in a couple of hours. It's my dh's turn on the puter. I stole his time. LOL
Wish, I wanted to resond quickly to you. I had Abby on a dry food called, darn, I can't think of it now...I think it's called California Natural It was very pricey. I bought it from a store that sells "goods stuff." It did not have all that junk in it. She then decided she didn't like it after eating it for months. She started eating Pro Plan which one of my other cats eat. Geez, they all eat differently..sorta. Anyway, when Cleo had her kidney stone and it didn't dissolve (in fact the vet found two once they got in there) we had her eat the special diet from the vet. She did "okay" but not good enough. I did buy one can of Wellness at the vets. I think I'm going to see if Abby will eat that. I'm going nuts! Why do I have four cats!!???? Oh, I remember why. on my paper towels there are kitties and one kitty says,
FOR HANNA. LOL Cats are like potato chips..it's hard to have JUST ONE!
I'll be back later. Oh, and Abby isn't a big eater. This morning she barely ate what she does like!

I just saw the post regarding baby aspirin and xeloda. I was taking coumadin during the last part of taking xeloda. Xeloda is processed thru the liver and my INR's (clotting factor times) were so irregular- normal being around 2 seconds for your blood to clot- mine would be 10sec + drs would get all panicky and have stop coumadin for a day, inr would drop down to 1 sec or less. I have no doubt that it was the combination of baby aspirin and xeloda causing your bloody nose. Baby aspirin working as a blood thinner in your case. Fortunately, my PCP is an internal medicine and a little smarter than the average dr. He works very closely w/ my onc and between the two of them they keep me going

well now i am wondering cause cardiologist on monday said no way baby asa could do that and i need it because of other autoimmune issues. i feel like i'm dammed if i do and dammed if i don't. going to onc this afternoon and i don't know what is going to happen. i'm still upset with her from friday's condescending phone call. everyone seems to be advising me to switch...it's just that there's no one locally i would want to go to and distance could be a major factor for me. will call acs re transportation. it seems wrong that we have to fight so hard for our lives when we have all these docs who's job it is to take proper care of us. i'll post when i get back. hugs, maria

Thank you for all the welcome aboards!
Diane, when I was going through my original bc tx, constipation was the worst s/e I had. I swear, I thought I was birthing another baby!! It was horrible. It was all the anti-nausea meds. So I feel for you, girl!!! That is a MAJOR sux! But I am so glad you are feeling some energy filled days!
Lu, I hope your day got better....bless your heart....you deserve a few good days in a row!!! I can confirm that she was freaking out last night!! I tried my best to talk her down....but I don't know if I helped much. Just know I am always here for you, Lu.
Nicki, SO glad your chest pains were not heart related and that you are feeling better.
Helen, you are having some serious work suckiness. People get grouchy without their coffee.
Harley, CRAP about the lump. I am so so sorry, girl. And it really sux you have to wait till Oct 2nd for the u/s. Waiting is the pits. Shoot, everything about bc SUX!!! You will be in my prayers, sweetie!
Think I will start another post with my 'IT SUCKS' story. Cause it sux when you've typed a ton and it disappears!!!
Hugs,
Beth

Here is my IOS!!!!
Well, a few of you may know, my marriage could not survive four years of dealing with bc and the stage IV dx. I really thought our marriage could survive anything. When I was dx'd with mets only a year and a half after my original dx, I was practically digging my grave. I thought I was a goner. But I responded to tx and eventually wrapped my head around the idea that I could LIVE with bc mets. Apparently I pushed my husband away when I was dealing with all of it. Shortly after my mets dx, his father was dx'd with pancreatic cancer and died within weeks. My husband seemed to have changed overnight. We started marriage counseling some months after his dad died. After six months of counseling, he told me he would not be going back. He found out everything he needed to know...when I pushed him away, he just could not 'get it back'. He 'loved' me, but was no longer 'in love' with me. So we separated. I moved out of state to where my family lives. About a month into the separation, he wanted a divorce. I knew I could not waste energy on him if refused to TRY to fix our problems. I had to use my energy to stay ALIVE. So we divorced. And he refused to even talk to me on the phone. SO, TWO years after we separated, I find out....he had a CHILD with a woman FOUR months BEFORE we separated. So while I was in the hospital having my boobs chopped off to try and save my life, he has already started a new family. He had never had kids and we were in our 30's when we married and I had a daughter from a previous marriage. So at the age of 50, he starts a family while he still has a family. Guess I wasn't dying fast enough for him. Sorry this is so long. It took me so long to recover from our separation/divorce and now I find out THIS. I spent two years blaming myself and the fact that I got cancer. This has been the most shocking and hurtful news. I know I shouldn't spend one more second wasting time on him...but it just hurts so bad. AND IT SUCKS!

Nicki,
Glad you aren't having heart problems, and glad the chest pains have stopped. I know what you mean about being so far behind, you will never catch up! That is how I am, and I think it will always be that way.
Beth,
Thanks for the prayers! Like I said, my surgeon was so nice, and he kept saying "Don't worry..." I know he couldn't tell me that it was ok, without doing further tests. But, I keep telling myself that since they aren't in a big hurry to get me in for the u/s, it is probably ok.
Shirley,
How did your onc appt. go? How's Abby doing? Is she eating any better? I hope she is doing better today. I'm thinking about you.
Well, I went to work today and at 6:00, as I was just about to leave, the owner asked me to work on Friday. I should be happy, since it is extra hours, and business has slowed WAY down, but I was kind of looking forward to being off for at least four days in a row.
That sucks to all of you...

Diane, this is exactly what happened to me when I was getting chemo. I'm sure permanent damage was done to my anus, but there was no way I was going to the doctor and having them look at my butthole! I had a friend who did go to the doctor, so I follwed to instructions he gave to her. LOL I posted this about it.... http://community.breastcancer.org/forum/7/topic/701893?page=26#post_883337
Beth, welcome to the bitchy thread..... we have a wonderful time here and also share some tears and fears. I am so sorry for the absolute wretchedness your husband has put you through. Hopefully, Traci will come along and leave a smackdown for him. Grrrr. What.a.jerk!
Shirley, I need a cat if you have one that doesn't like to visit the vet.
Love to all,
Miss S

Hugs to you, LuAnn. Hope you hear something soon.
Sorry to hear about your ex, AusAla. The word "slime" comes to mind, though. Perhaps you are better off without him...
Hoping all is ok with your lump, Harley. Sux for sure.
Shirley, hoping all went well with the onc. Know how stressful that can be...
My IOS is that my best friend's brother died yesterday. He was in a motorcycle crash with one of those half-helments. Lots of brain damage and life support was stopped the day before. It is just sooooo sad...

Felicia, that is so awful! So sorry for your friend!

update on onc. visit today. it went better than i thought it would. she actually wanted to know exactly what happened with me last week with xeloda. she wrote everything down, perhaps because i told her that roche pharma. would be in touch with her. my blood work was excellent...white count a little high...probably have another silent uti. at any rate, this would be the off week for xeloda so she told be to start again monday at 2000mg. (which is half of what i took last weeek). try that for a few weeks and if i tolerate it then we'll go to 2500. if i don't tolerate it then it's hx. i think she knew how upset i was with her and that's just fine with me. it doesn't mean i won't switch but at least now i don't feel the urgency to do that right away. i am seriously thinking of doing a consult with klynn's onc.
felicia, i will keep that family in my prayers. luann, i sure pray you hear from your son very soon, i don't know how you deal with the pressure.
can't remember everything but i do hope everyone is pooping without pain. and that everyone's pets stay healthy and stops vomiting on beds - whoever that happened to.

WhaSux??
So sorry Felicia-----that is too sad for your friend & for you as her friend! HUGS
Maria--your docs need to get together on your case--I KNOW It is hard, but maybe one of them is more reasonable & you can prey upon that to have them discuss what would suit you from BOTH aspects--believe me---I KNOW how much that sux!
Helen--THANX for being so smart & making such sound, rational suggestions---as always! I love that about you even when it is NOT directed at me!
Nikki---YEAH! what a relief!
Shrirley--has anyone suggested feline cd? You buy it at the vet & we have had 2 cats on it over about a 25 year span---seems to eliminate a lot of problems & both liked it well enough!
Diane--try metamucil everyday----I know, I know, but it really works without any bad se's----just makes you REGULAR--like if you take it at the same time every day you will poop like a show horse at the same time everyday!!! (been on it about 20 yrs here! NEVER have been constipated with any tx! They've never made me stay in the hospitial till I had a BM they trust it THAT much---yes, TMI!)
Harley---hang tight & keep the faith! It IS nothing until someone says otherwise & I JUST had a friend go in for the same problem. We found out today it was NOTHING (scar tissue) HUGS
Aus, my friend-----I am so sorry that you had a man who could not possibly understand how little he desreved a woman like you! HE wins on the ULTIMATE SUCK-O-METER of the week--no MONTH---maybe the year! What a $hitheel----HUGS hon----that SUX!!
I have a new idea to offer here---I want to call it an SOI-opposite of IOS----"Suckiness Otherwise Inverted"--it is when something goes really well, unexpectedly! Here is my SOI:
I was getting gas when another car pulled up on the other side of the island. An older lady in the car seemed to be talking to me so I went over to hear. She saw my Sky Knights skydiving bumper sticker & wanted to know if I had been. We started comparing notes & it turns out that we both are cancer survivors & have been sky diving & have tattoos because of it! She just turned 79!!! We were LOL about of this when she invited me to be a part of a program she is putting together for the college----what a kick in the butt!! It was fun! MUCH better than an IOS for a change!
Here's a MIGHTY that SUX for all who need it & hoping for more SOI's for everyone's Thurs!
Be well & stay strong BTW--how did that happen to my soi???? I didn't do anything I swear! doo wee ooooohhhhh!

Hello friends - it's been so long since I posted on this thread that it's probably difficult to remember me at all. Sorry for the neglect and please know I have been reading along as well as I could - and sending out empathy for the MAJOR IOS's we seem to be enduring.
Beth - let me say first that that dude SUCKED - don't give him another moment of your soul. I know it is understandable to have righteous anger at what a slime he was (thanks, Felicia), but you are so now ready to get rid of thatguilt. I'm sorry it was a burden for you during this time - but what a relief to know him as he is - and your instincts were right not to waste the energy on him while you were fighting for your life. GRRRR! Some men are such scum!
Harley - finding a lump truly sux! I hope it is just an area of fat necrosis or something. I had bilats., too, and I know finding a lump by my armpit was something you never bargain for - you're supposed to be beyondlumps when you get rid of 'em! Glad your doc is so reassuring, it will make the time go easier.
LuAnn - add me to the list of folks anxiously awaiting your next phone call from abroad. What tension you had with today's USGov't calls! Is your 17 yr. old considering the Marines? Glad for your good news from your onc.!
Nicki - glad the protonix helped you instead of the alternative. Chest pain is scary!
Bliss - hope things get straightened out without too much more upheaval. Great way to find out how good your homeowner's insurance is.
Debbie - had to laugh: at least your DH's heart was in the right place, even if his sense of balance re: drapes was a little skewed.
Diane - I am so thrilled that the Taxol and Avastin have been kind to you thus far. You deserved a break - no, several good breaks!
Felicia - damn, the loss of a young life is so tragic! I know you will be there for your firend during this sadness.I had a HD Sportster in a previous life
and I never supported the anti-helmet law factions. It can make putting your bike down survivable.jerseymaria - what a relief to have your onc. finally listen to you!
saint - good idea on the SOI's. Let's hope we can share a few of those, too.
I've been having to get up at 5am for a temp job - yes it is DARK at that time. I have to be grateful - my bills were getting critically close to bankruptcy court due to my Taxotere neuropathy, so even part-time temp. work is a blessing. But it sure makes for some early evenings! Thank goodness for some Ativan to help me to sleep ar I'd still be up at 1am!

Oh sweeties! Man, I'm gone for 24 hours (be/c dh is home) and look what happens! The world falls apart around you all! Dang it, I'm so sorry!
{{Aus}} Welcome, but sorry to read you had such a horrible ex to deal with the after effects of that type of news. What a slimeball is right. So sorry
Glad you have family support near you though...Hope his karma is heading directly at him!{{{LuAnn}}} Dearest lady, I'm so sad you are worried. I can't imagine having a child in that position and worry. Cripes, I worry about dd on her way home 20 miles from her tonight and thought, 'What am I worrying about? My worries could be so much greater!" Darn, I surely wish you could from him soon! {{hugs}} LuAnn.
{{HARLEY!}} Geepers girl! One thing after the next should be your name! Keeping an extra prayer that the CYST is gone by the time of your appt, so you can feel relieved before hand dear!
{{Felicia}} so sorry about your friends brother. I really need to get a helmet for riding and just hate them!
Shirley? Hope your appt yesterday was a good one and that you little kitty is improving? Gentle luvins for the wee sick one
Big {{hugs}} for her mom 
A BIG THAT SUX to all I missed, no excuse, but I'm too tired to go back further! Know that each of you are in my prayers tonight and only good thoughts for you each!
My IOS, still don't know anythign about this hip/thigh pain. Weird thing is today it's much less! He's got me taking 3 motrin and 2 hrs later 1-2 extra strength tylenol til further notice. He's hoping to give that notice by friday if the blood tests, and xrays are read by then. He really didn't feel it was arthritis b/c of where it's at. The pain has been in the upper thigh on the back side. Deep. Not in the joint, but maybe the ligament he thinks? Not sciatica he says. Hoping xray shows what's up, but not sure fi other tests will follow. He said he's seen a LOT of women on arimidex with SE's and is wondering if thats it
Oh joy! What ever I say.0 -
Hugs and smilies ☺☺☺ and a warm gentle breeze for each of you today. ☀☀☀
I cannot remember all the IOS and do not want to forget anyone. -- Chemo brain, craft, crs, psd and old age. But I am not a blonde... lol... or WAS not..
I am off for # 6 of my weekly Taxol and Herceptin - here's hoping I am not still up at 3 am again, but then do I expect things to be different this round??? ♥♥♥ Nancy

Hey Lisa,
Of course I remember you. Your cute little puggie dog!
Diane, I used Senekot S and Miralax. Then for good measure, I popped a suppository in the morning. It seemed to get things going. About April, somebody, can't remember who wrote a hilarious piece about hard bowl movements. I am on pain killers and find if I eat a lot of fiber, it helps.
Beth, it seems there was a famous politician that was having an affair while his wife was in the hospital having a mastectomy. Are you somebody famous? Was it Ken Star? Oh well.....glad you are able to get on with your life. My husband may not be much but he has kind of been there for me.....just does not know what to say sometimes. So he knows I come here for real comfort. And I turn to him when I need a ride to the doctor. lol!
Well, had a good day yesterday. Back to work in a few minutes and 5 days and counting until my boob surgery! I'm getting a little antsy with wierd dreams and all.
