Its Tueday! I thought it was Monday. Back to work so this is a quick pop in.
Cristine: Your neighbors sound like real jerks. Children play, scream, laugh, and make noise. How nervy of that women to say that to you. Actually you handled the situation better than I would have.
Deb: Sorry to hear your counts are down. Damn chemo!
A big that sucks to everyone that needs it.

Cristine-
Next encounter tell them exactly what you said here. They can go in their house and if this is the biggest problem they have to deal with they should feel damn lucky.
Let them know that lives little irritants seem so minute compared to health issues especially cancer and inform them that noise complaints are not taken at 7:30pm, by the police. My dh is a cop and his city would not take a complaint about yelling children at 7:30pm. Only if they felt the child was in danger. Is that what the A**holes are trying to say next door????
They will get theirs!!! I always think that to make me feel better. Some how it does not work. Seems the a**holes of this world sail through with no problems and only the Good get the SH*T!
Chin up girl! I would really be steaming in your position! Think of the video of the women punching the other and pretend it is your neighbor!LOL!

just tried to catch up been a few days -
ann- so sorry to hear about your family squabbles - i always wanted a big family with lots of brothers and sisters ! i hope it all blows over and everyone realizes there are more important things to stress over in life!! BIG HUG
Deb- you are going to be fine- you can beat this with all the treatments you are getting- try to live in the moment and enjoy all the wonderful times you are experiencing i know its hard - my daughter was 2 when i was first dx 11 yrs ago- it was halloween and i cried like a baby thinking i would never see her grow up
(my other daughter was 10) well i got thru all that - of course it wasnt easy and got redx 10 yrs later !!!! i didnt know how i would go thru it all over again but somewhere our will to live takes over
i am now NED 2 years and my daughter is graduating middle school and off to high school- my older daughter is "legal" turned 21 this year last year at umass amherst (her dad - my late husband passed away from cancer when she was 2 so i knew i couldnt leave her alone)
CANCER DOES SUCK THE BIG ONE!!! i hate it!!!!
we all hate it and its SO UNFAIR !! there is nothing good to say about it and its okay to have those times when you just want to SCREAM ABOUT IT!
Sending you lots of love and a bug hug to let you know it will get better and you will be there to share in all those wonderful times with your children

Cristine,
Holy cow....your neighbors SUCK!!!!! Seeing as how the b-word neighbor has already threatened a false police report, do not be surprised if they call DSS on you too. A girlfriend of mine had a minor dispute with her neighbor (who had been a friend and was also her landlord) that ended up with DSS being called and a big stinking hassle and mess.
We used to live on a quiet little street with mostly older retired people but somehow we managed to land the next-door neighbor from hell. We're pretty sure they were cooking meth in their backyard shed--that is, before it burned to the ground. Everyone in the neighborhood knew they were dealing some kind of drugs with all the comings and goings but the county sheriff didn't seem to care. They had EIGHT mangy dogs that were pretty viscious and ran loose. The dog catcher refused to impound the dogs even after one of them attacked my son and our dog! Anyway, the drug deals seemed to go on round the clock with 2 am on a weeknight being the average. And, those druggies always seemed to have their car stereos blasting on HIGH. Well, I decided enough was enough. The mom's window faced our driveway. I set up our super-high wattage motion detector light so the sensor faced their driveway and the light pointed directly into her window. I don't know if she really gave a crap--probably appreciated the heads up that another customer was in the driveway--but it sure made me feel better to know a spotlight shone in her window every time someone pulled into her driveway. Crappy neighbors SUCK!
I think you need to set up a trampoline in the back yard and give your daughters those high-pitched train whistles. Then send them outside with rings on their fingers and bells on their toes to bounce, shout, SCREAM, and toot that whistle ALL DAY LONG. It would also be cool if you could get a recording of a high-pitched dog barking....play that all night long pointed at their house and then go out and start the lawn mower at 5 am. Of course, that should be the same day that you have the concrete guys come to repave your driveway. Make sure their truck's back up "BEEPBEEP" is working and that their job requires frequent yelling and backing up of the truck. I would then suggest you bake them a batch of pink ribbon cookies with chocolate ex-lax frosting and take them over to apologize for the inconveniences. I hear little girls LOVE to squeal and run through the sprinkler early on Saturday mornings....
THAT SUCKS, y'all!

(Diane, diane, diane.... Uncle! I cannot laugh any harder....the motion sensor...the trampoline w/ train whistles...paving driveway...pinkribbons and exlax... can I share this with some of my friends who would appreciate this? If some people are the angels of gentle and longsuffering grace and forebearance blah blah, then you are the ranting anti-christ and i mean that in the best of all possible ways. i'm helpless w/ laughter over her. brava! brava!)

You girls are so great! I knew you all would get it!! Thanks so much. I'm at work, so can't post much but Diane, I'm LMAO and I may use some of those.
Dani - I probably will say that and if they ask again if they have to be so loud, I'm just going to say "Yes" and leave it at that.

Wow, Diane, I am going to try really hard not to piss you off!!!!

I don't have time to catch up with everybody.
Deb, here's to your blood counts going up!
Cristine, you have HORRIBLE neighbors. They should have been around my 3 and 5 year old grandchildren this weekend. They would have driven you neighbors crazy!
Diane, LOVE the way you "solve" problems. You gave me a huge laugh! You are too funny!

Hope everyone is having a totally NOT sucky Day!!!

Hi, everyone. This probably should go in the "worst thing anyone ever said to you" thread, but I'm posting it here.
I went to get my teeth cleaned yesterday. The dental hygienist started out complimenting me on how clean my teeth were and wanted to know what my regimen was so she could pass it on to other patients. I would have gotten pretty full of myself if she hadn't followed up with asking me about my diet and she immediately in a round about way suggested I lose some weight. She started lecturing me about healthy eating...told me how she feeds her kids soup and stuff for breakfast to avoid sugar, etc. I ended up apologizing to her -- I can't believe I did that -- and told her how I had had breast cancer and gained a lot of weight and I've been struggling with it ever since, but that I'm swimming every day and eating mostly chicken, steamed shrimp, brown rice & vegetables.
Her response was, and this is a direct quote: "It must be horrifying for you to look in the mirror."
Granted, I do need to lose weight...but I look exactly as I do in my av. I hadn't realized I was so grotesque that someone would make that comment to me. Obviously, I'm going to request a different hygienist next time.

*gasp* Seriously, when I read that comment I gasped out loud. Can't you say something to her boss? Besides being wrong on so many levels, and obviously completely untrue, it is incredibly unprofessional and your dentist will lose patients if she continues to talk to them in such a disrespectful manner.
That SUCKS.

I have an appointment with the dentist in July and hope I will bring it up to him, but sometimes I have a hard time with stuff like that. I'll probably just ask for the other guy in 6 months and continue to tell everybody what she said to me. LOL.

Patrice, sometimes people are so, so VERY rude that it is just comical. This chick is a piece of work! I would have laughed in her face and told her, "Oh yes, it IS horrifying. In fact, I had to remove all the mirrors from my home because my reflection was causing me to have heart problems. I have to be very careful now!"
You are one of the most beautiful, witty, wonderful women I know!! Don't let a doofus like that get you down. Just chalk it up to more fodder for jokes!!
Love you!!

I haven't bitched in a while and its been building... here goes... As some of you may know i was diagnosed with a new primary on my FIRST follow-up after finishing a brutal year with the first cancer.... so I started treatment..weekly paciltaxol... took 5 rounds of that and it wasn't working so now I'm on Gemzar/carboplatin..have had one treatment and the nulasta shot...anyway.... sorry got off track.... my bitch is when this whole cancer thing started I weighed about 125 lbs... had long curly hair, nice boobs for my age, pretty good life going on...now I weigh 150 plus lbs, bald AGAIN, have a weird rash going on which I'm sure is from the Gemzar but probably wouldn't get the onc to agree, think I getting lymphodema in my arm, none of my new bigger clothes fit anymore (which I spent a small fortune on), and oh yeah the one boob...looks so weird when I dont have the fake one on..A few friends told me dont make such a deal out of it because it probably just looks like a guy's chest so I told them news flash it looks like you had a boob and someone cut it off.... which soon I will have the other one removed,and my husband, well he's just an ass..... Oh and right before my first cancer I had almost $20,000 in dental work (had ALL my teeth crowned) ... always had issues with my teeth and finally got to a point where i could afford to do that and now 3 of them are loose.I'm tired of being bald but I dont want to wear a wig because I live in the South and it is VERY HOT and HUMID and I'm really sick of the scarves too.... Oh and the looks of pity I get from everyone because this is my second cancer in such a short time. As far my family I know they are sick of it too but if I even mention treatment or side effects they just kind a go hmmmmmmmm... yeah.....Anyway, I'm sick of them too!! Well this probably doesn't make any sense so I'll just stop but if felt good to get it out......

Lemonpie,
Sweetie, THAT SUCKS!! I'm in the south too--maybe if I stretch really hard you can feel the (((HUGS))) that I'm sending you.
Patrice, I would have BIT that b-word's hand! HOLYYYYYYYYY CRAP. I am shocked that anyone would say that. Cripes--I can't imagine a normal person saying that to someone who IS totally grotesque looking. To say it to YOU is just inexcusable. You are BEAUTIFUL and don't you for a second question that. So what if you have a few extra pounds? You can lose it. STUPID is forever.
"It must be horrifying..." Good grief! I hereby summon the fleas of a thousand camels to take up residence in her nether-regions. May her children get fed-up with soup (for breakfast?!?!) and begin dumping entire uneaten bowls in her underwear drawer. I hope she is stuck with patient after patient suffering from exceptional halitosis and hypersensitive gag reflex....
OH. My. Gosh.

I know Traci is en route to her new place, so the pimp slap video is unavailable, but I thought I'd post this for our special dental hygenist without an ounce of sense in her head:
What an ass! Maybe stupid and blind go hand-in-hand in her family. I'm not one to advocate violence, but I'd seriously consider taking Nico up on her offer, Patrice! Diane is right, though: stupid is unfortunately forever...

lemonpie,
Oh my god you should get the best bitch of the day award!!! You have every reason to hate everything you are going through.
I know family and friends seem to get sick of our "sickness" or maybe it is just too much fear for them to handle about how you will do through all of this.
Man life can sooooo suck sometimes. I hope coming here to us in the "this sucks" world can help you through this sh*t!!!
Thinking of you,
Dani

Oh, some of this sucks so much more than anything I have to say.
Lemonpie, your story is beyond sucky. I think if they found a tumor in my remaining boob as soon after my treatments as yours was found, I'd just go catatonic. Don't know how I could deal with it, but I guess we have to.
Patrice, I endorse the call-out of the militia on your behalf. But, Diane may be on to something. Maybe you should ask for that same hygienist next time. Then, when she has the maximum number of fingers jammed into your mouth, bite down HARD--really, really, REALLY HARD. Once she gets through screaming, you can say, "Oh, was that your finger? So sorry!"
I hope you find the nerve to tell her boss about the incident. That's the only way employers find out that they've hired loser employees. I have the same problem about filing complaints. I'm good at telling other people about problems I've had, but I have a difficult time making anything official.
My suckiness is so minor. My temp went up to 100.6 on Monday night (day 13 of 3rd round of TC), so I had to call the on-duty onco at my hospital. My dh and I made quite a few phone calls and google searches before we located a business that was open and had a pharmacist on duty at 10:00 p.m. on a major national holiday. So now I'm on an antibiotic to clear up a sinus infection before my next date with my ol' buddy, TC.
Here's a hearty "That SUCKS," to everyone.

my word ladies...truly a big that suks for all of you going thru crap...rude people, feeling crappy, moving, puking, sick days, cancer back days...a big I'm sorry - that SUCKS to all of you!! I am at lunch on my first day back to work part time...I know this is the gripe board but for all the bad days I have had -with you all there to help me through...I wanted to share a smidgen of good news. My 3rd surgery to correct my peripheral nerve damage has been cancelled and my chemo is back on to start next week. Seems as though while I was massaging my arm on Saturday, I popped the nerve out of wherever it was being compressed and my hand is now working again. I only found out on Friday that the neurologist said it would have to be operated on wednesday... and didn't even have time to tell anyone about that last surgery or cancel my chemo -when the nerve just popped. I am sure I will have plenty of times to come where I am in the dumps...but glory it feels good to have good news...if just this once!
I hope you all have a quiet stress free day...if not, PM Nico, I hear she knows somone....

GSG: "Horrifying"? REALLY? Genocide is horrifying. A mass murderer opening fire in a schoolyard is horrifying. Earthquakes, tsunami, famine...horrifying. Putting on a couple pounds is hardly horrifying. That child needs to be schooled. Smacked, and schooled. (Amen, Felicia.)
Lemonpie: That is a load of wrong. If I were in your shoes, I would have bitched a lot longer and harder than you did.
THAT SUCKS.
My crap? "Look Good, Feel Good." Which should be re-named: "Look like an adult woman with breast cancer, be treated like a preschooler." I behaved accordingly. The leader/organizer and the Estee Lauder rep were okay but the volunteers? Making inane statements ("Now some of us haven't taken our make-up out of the boxes yet, have we?") ve-ry-slow-ly and at a pitch normally only heard by dogs appeared to be a requirement. At one point, I felt compelled to mutter passive aggressively "Listen Pinkie, I've had chemo, not a lobotomy." (Yes, her name was Pinkie and she wore a little ponytail on the side of her head.) I've never been prouder of looking like, nay, being an androgynous Dr. Demento than I was this afternoon.

Also, for the record, I accept Diane/Badboobs67 as my personal saviour. If I am ever too incapacitated to rave at an injustice (unlikely, but hey), I would like to designate badboobs to unleash righteous fury in my stead.
Thank you.

Thanks for all the suggestions. You guys seriously have me cracking up. I agree..Diane should be in charge of all fury and Nico Soprano can get rid of the evidence.
In hindsight, I'm sorry I didn't eat her fingers while I had the chance, rinse and spit, burp and walk out.
I forgot to add that after I left the dentist's office, I went and got the works at a new salon and she totally screwed up my hair...cut and color. I went back today and she tried to fix it. She took me from pale orange to mousy brown. I'm pretty much all face and ears now as well. When I walked in the door, my husband's only comment was "I hope you didn't pay her for that."
I can't tell you how smokin' hot I'm feeling.
Diane and Nico, please pay him a visit tonight. There's shovels in the shed out back.
