Thank you for the well wishes! After the mamogram, they had me wait in the sonogram room. They never done that before so to say the least my bp was up! Turns out that when a patient says that they have a lump or pain they will automatically do a sono. My issue was a fluid filled cyst that decided to "pop" on its own. It also turns out that I have another one (or the same but smaller and it's starting to hurt). It does concern me because I've never had issues with my cycles and painful boobs before. She did say probably hormonal changes (great does this mean menopause is closing in?) Regardless, at this point B9!
cmb - {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
wish - may you have a sense of security soon and that scumbag gets his where it counts!
Hugs to all,
Trish

Trish, I know how painful those cyst can get. Just please, do NOT get complacent with it. I did with mine. Had it for years and over summer of 07 it started to get harder and as it turned out, apparently the cyst disappeared as my cycles were weaning, but behind it was a this lump of cancer. I never had a FNA b/c she (the gyno ) was certain it was only a cyst. We'll never know now whether it was ot not, but...watch it for changes and let the doc know if you suspect a change, K? Good luck with it. Don't want to scare you, just do NOT put off your annuals just be/c it's only a cyst K?
Glad it's was B9 report!Not sure how this will play out b/c he's a tribal members and the laws are different, so it's a whole new experience dealing with them. Unfortunately, from what I've seen so far, I'm not the least bit impressed.Where we elect officers of the court, they hire them. Entirely different outcomes too with regards to time spent and such. The max anyone can get through their courts is 365 days, or jail time. No prison time, for anything, regardless of the crime. Sad, but true.

Wish,
Don't worry - if there is ANY change, my doc will be the first to know. This scared the crap outta me!!!!
I agree with the other ladies, get out the shovels & just give us the word, we'll take care of him. You ladies have been such a help. I can't express in words (on a computer anyway) my thanks.

Hugs & whaSux?
LuAnn--I will go so far as to say I believe Nicki borrowed MY motto!! LOLOL
CMB---huge hugs hon-- your post almost made me cry! Let me give you some hope: I was dx'd when my kids were 7 & 9...I sat at my dd's Christmas sing with a drain down the sleeve of my festive sweater wondering if I'd be there for the next Christmas & if not WHO would raise my babies........
Sweetie, I NEVER thought I'd live THIS long!! LOLOL My baby boy is a HS senior......I'm willing to tempt fate & say I'm gonna make it to June----------won't go so far as to say I WILL be here for the dd in 2 years--but won't say I won't be either! This SUX! But together it's easier to get thru---I'm here for you--pm your phone # if you want to talk! (thaqt goes for ANYONE here)
HUGS all- be well & stay strong

THAT SUCKS y'all! I had to read several pages to get caught up and said a little prayer for each of your IOS as a read them; I'm too ditzy anymore to keep them all straight in my head otherwise.
I've managed to get another sinus infection (or possibly strep--not yet sure). The stupid thing is I could have started antibiotics early if I could differentiate between "sick snot" and "AVASTIN snot". I always have lots of congestion and pressure after my AVASTIN so I didn't realize I was actually sick until the horrible pain in my ear and throat started. DAMNIT! I have too much to do to feel this crappy right now. It's my youngest ds's first band concert tonight and it looks like I'll be missing it. GRRRR
How's this for an SOI: It looks like I don't have to worry about Christmas gifts for our kitties. They found one on their own this morning...poor little mousie. Big kitty actually brought him up and laid him under the Christmas tree but he got away and the little kitty ran off with him. I sure hope I don't find dead mouse parts all over the house! EWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!
(((HUGS)))

Oh Ewwwwwwwwy! I remember one spring, moving our huge fish tank from one wall to the other and finding out what happened to the shrimp we had in them! Oh my! Dust Collectors they are!
No cats at that time, but I'm wondering who actually sucked the innards out of them! Spiders I'm guessing! It's wondrous what kitties can find we have no idea are ours. Cob webs in places I didn't know were webby!
Cute animals, and great dusters at times! 0 -
Wish, I'm so glad to see you writing about.........mummifed shrimp???? Well, it's a diversion hon. I'm often up in the night. We could go on to the chat any time you want. I'll be there for you. Just name the time.
Not a Merry Christmas for the little mousey in the house Diane. Sorry about the pain you have. I have no idea what some of you gals are dealing with. I wish I could help.
Gentle hugs.

Hi, Ladies,
There is just waaaayyy too much suckage going on for too many of us. I can't stand it. I'm too overwhelmed even to take notes & pass on some individual wishes. Too much pain, side effects, aggravation, fear, mets, test result anxiety, sociopaths running loose, stupid family members, stupid people in general, financial worries, people getting laid off or being threatened with foreclosure. I can't stand it. We are certainly a microcosm of all the major headlines in the news these days, aren't we? Love & a big THIS SUX to all.
Just a little tail (pun intended) on finding the occasional dead mouse: latest new place I've found one -- in my top-loading washing machine. Poor thing slipped through the cutaway slot where you lift the cover, probably while he was running for his life to get away from my cats. And, much to my humiliation, I discovered that one really does go "EEEK!" when one comes upon a mouse. Yes, friends, that was exactly the sound that came out of my mouth, high-pitched, wussy, completely ridiculous. Then I got out the rubber gloves to remove the corpse & give it a proper burial. Eee-yoooo.

Oh my goodness! I bet you are very careful opening that up now hey? Poor little guys! IF they would just STAY outside where they belong, they'd not die of death by machines in ours!
Better than hearing those 'snaps' when the traps go off. Yes, we do set them in teh basement, b/c the cats don't go down there. After a family setting up residence one year in the girls dollhouse that their dad spent countless hours creating! Electricity, and front veranda and all... beautiful house, but it had a mouse and that mouse made a nest and left a stinky mess and thus the trap was set to get his stinky butt! Now I have NO qualms of dh disposing of them in his way. So long as I don't have to retrieve and reset them! 0 -
Wish, I've taken to putting a box of dryer sheets over the opening! So far, that's worked! Oh, too awful about the doll's house!

They didn't ruin it, just really made a mess as they were housing in one of the bedroom. The thing they stunk up was a volcano one of the girls made that they wouldn't part with, so we stored it up high in the rafters. Mice decided it tasted great with all the paper mache and glue, then peed and pooped on it! UGH! WHAT a stink that was! The house they must have only used a little while, b/c the nest was built, but no doodoos or such in there, thank heavens. But it was enough to set dh to putting out traps in the fall in prep for them. haven't had them since (I don't think). Then again there is a room of stuff of the girls down there yet, I've not been in a couple years.Hard to say what's up in there! Eeeeekk might be minor! LOL

Good Lord. 60+ unread. Can't remember much, but what I do remember...it sucks.
LuAnn - GREAT news on your son. Counting the days, I'm sure. Maybe even hours.
Felicia - There are names for men like that. Besides sperm donor.
Wish - hope the thief gets his and then some.
Jane - do we have to pelt the (D)H with toilet brushes and cleaners? I'd send my husband, who is a dab hand with toilet cleaning, but he is travelling this week.
cmb - you will see your son graduate. Hugs and good thoughts...
Ugh. Mice. Once upon a time there was a wood pile out back in the the neighbor's yard. We ended up with rats. My nana was living with us at the time (I must have been 14 or 15) and we had to keep it a secret - she was pathologically afraid of rodents. My sisters and I wouldnt' wash our hair in the sink in the laundry room until Dad assured us that the rats were no more.
Minor IOS. Husband is off on a business trip til the 19th. Me and the girls and the pugs. Trees are up, not decorated. Christmas decorations scattered throughout the house. Shopping not done. Winding down the Zoloft in order to begin ramping up on Effexor. Hit 75mg last night & I swear I can feel it. Cranky, cranky, cranky. People had best stay away from me because I might bite.
A hearty That Sucks to whomever I missed.

Both scans were clear, and no "gross abnormalities" on the brain MRI (thanks for the qualifier doc!) Whatever, I'll take it. The next step is still the neurologist, because apparently, it really freaks them right out if your face is numb. Looks like another brain MRI is in my future 3-6 months down the road but whatever. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
OK, so let's have this be the start of a REALLY GOOD ROLL ladies...
Uh-oh Diane, let's hope there isn't a hotbed of revolting pests waiting for Santa under the tree!

Excellent results on the MRI! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! and yes, let's start on a roll with that one, hey! Good news!
{{pam}}Sux to have dh off and about, but then again, there are days I'm surely glad mine is gone when I hit those lows
Helps to not have him here to grind him too! Thankfully the kids are grown and when I complain/bite, the cats think I'm playing! Hope you get on the effexor and it kicks in soon dear!0 -
cmb - I was holding my breath for you! What a fabulous report! The additional brain MRI won't be so scary since they've now seen your symptoms are results of long-ago treatment. It'll still suck to wait.
... but my really good roll
Lisa,
PET/CT scan showed no other abnormality except known brain lesion, will discuss with you Thurs.
Scott GodfreyI had let myself be concerned about other organ involvement - usually the brain goes very last, if at all. It was only realistic to have something else goin' on. But...No other metastases! NONE!
YIPEE!! I have a damned good FIGHTING chance !!!! You can be sure I'm up for it! YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY!
And I managed to work ALL day, too! And drive.
I am just so jazzed!
Lisa

Whoohooo! #2 or is that 3 for this roll! Great news Lisa! You sound more than ready to fight this beast back to his h*llhole! WTG lady! We'll be here pushing your fight with you all the way!

A Poem for Lisa
The news that there is no other mets
Cancer-wise, is as good as it gets.
HURRAY!!!
("no gross abnormalities" reminds me of when my Dad had an emergency craniotomy. They did a scan of some sort, using contrast in one of the scans but not the other. The CD they gave him afterward said "Harold Smith, Brain Without" !!)

Hi everyone. My suckage is that I fainted at the hospital. In a waiting lounge. So now there is concern of progression, brain tumor or something stupid like that. I now cannot travel alone as in go on the subway cause if it happens there I could end up at the other end of the city, robbed and whatever. This will put a real crimp in life. Not really looking forward to onco appt on thurs.... cause I was 10 ft from that office when I keeled. I was put in a holding ward for 2 hours... most of which I slept. If there is nothing added then it is the cancer I already have and it is sapping me. Nurse says that I am "way too active" for someone in my condition.

Is it the season, the disease or what???
For some reason I've just had this 6th sense or sense of forboding that this will be my last "normal" Christmas with my family. I have been "glass half-full", miss positive all along so far, but I just can't shake this feeling that by this time next year I will either be Stage IV or gone. I can't live my life that far out in the future, but, on the other hand, I want to plan the next 30 years. Does this make any sense to anyone?

Dream- so so sorry for incident today- I pray there is an easy answer to what happened and easy solution like your heels were very high and you fell off them- (don't laugh it happened to me once)
Jane M--I think I get what you're saying. I was trying to explain to dh last night--It is a funny balancing act thats hard to explain; some days I get really tired of one day at a time, but afraid of going beyond it. blah I hope you are able to find a quiet peaceful healing place where you can just....be. Sweet dreams Jane...Elaine

OMG, I am reading these posts and laughing and crying at the same time. I have nothing to post, except that I'm here, listening, and it really sux (except for those of you who got good scan results this week).

Rock, CMB, YEA!!! omg...I can't tell you how happy reading your posts made me.
(((((((((((((Dream))))))))))))))
Isn't it weird how you emotions get thrown around? I've seen so many "I need a break from the threads" not that that is a bad thing its just......now, I can't imagine life without you girls and our ups and downs. It puts all the other crap we are dealt in life into so much persepctive. Oh, you a** for cutting me off in traffic! What a joke!!
I'm so happy to know all of y'all.
Love, Traci
PS It's ffreaking cold here!!! I miss Florida!

Hugs & happy dancing for all the good news! Let's think of those SOI's as seeds for MORE!
Dream----could it just be the drugs that make you so sleepy need to be reduced?? I'm praying & hoping for an easy answer! You are as active as you want/can be & Dr Saint says, "You're just living, girlfriend!' HUGS
Jane---it is SO normal! I think it is the way we find the "new" normal...but I will tell you that I have felt that way at least 4 of the last 5 Christmases-(that is why dh gave me the "I'm not dead yet ring")---then weddings, graduations & births can trigger the same--------so you will have more holidays & will come to recognize that beastly little voice that makes you question the future! We don't know any more about our time left than we did b4 bc--only we now are more aware of the value of time! HUGS
Be well & stay strong

Nothing much to report here except doing fine after my surgery Friday. No pain pills yesterday and I went to the grocery store for some necessities. This Friday I get the final pathology report and am hopeful the report is clear margins and no cancer cells found.
Hugs and blessings, Nancy

Then you'll be added to the prayer list and many good thoughts for clear margins and No cancer cells found! Wonderful you doing so great! Whoohooo!

YAY! to everyone who got clear scans!! I'm doing a happy dance!
Nancy, glad that you are doing good after your surgery. I'll be praying for you, that you also get a GOOD report on Friday!!No news to report. I am seeing my onc on Friday for my 6 month check up, and I'm hoping it will be uneventful. I do have a long list of questions for him, but I am not expecting him to know the answers, as usual.... ...sigh Why do WE have to be our drs?
Hugs
