rock,
you make me so proud to be an androgynous Dr. Demento lookalike.
gsg,
where can I go to slap the stupid b%&^h hygienist? Or, wait, call her boss and tell them you just found out you have this weird, really contagious, disfiguring mouth fungus and you want to make sure this young lady knows she needs to go get tested.......(I would've said, yeah, I'm fat, but you're an a$$hole, and I can LOSE weight) What a presumptious twiddle!!!
diane,
I am not worthy to read your posts. You have a murderously rich fantasy life.
lemonpie,
That truly sucks.
flyrzfan,
great news at last--hope the trend continues, you deserve it.
Love,
Sue

Hi, Talking about crap? This is crap? Menopause!
Yes, Menopause. You heard it! And, your going to hear it again and again! Boy! This one has gotten me in the worst f... Stuper ever. I am sweet and then nasty the next minute and this sucks bad. I mean the big one. This is worst than Chemo. Ten times worse! Be bald! Like it! Love it! It's beautiful! Especially, when you have Reconstruction, and you have scars all over your body for life! Get through it and stop your whining girl. Bye Traci.
God Bless,
Love,

Sorry for everyone's crappy stuff.
Gsg, You had me laughing out loud. "There's shovels in the shed out back" I have a vision out of the Soprano's happening in your back yard. That Dental Android Woman, What was her problem? Horrifying, is when you feed your kids soup for breakfast. Horrifying is when you don't have a brain in your head. Horrifying is when you are as rude as she is. That's what horrifying is. Honestly, some people. She needs the picture of that lady getting punched in the face that Traci posts, sent to her office.

I've been away from this thread for a few days because I was going through some crap I just wasn't ready to write about. Now after catching up on your posts, I realize this is where I need to be. It's good to realize other people have so much crap too and then you guys crack me up with your solutions.
chris - your neighbors definitely suck
lemonpie - I don't think you griped enough, things definitely suck for you right now and you're handling it a lot better than I probably would
debc - (((hugs)))
gsg - send them to my house to take care of my "sick" dh next
A big that sucks to anything I missed.
This is the suckiness I've been going through during the last week -- My nephew and his friend were shot and killed in Jan 2004. They were trying to purchase some pot and the guy ended up shooting them instead. Yes, we all know buying pot is illegal but it's not something they deserved to die for. My nephew was 18 and his friend was 19. After a trial in 2005, the guy who shot them was convicted of 1st degree manslaughter and sentenced to 30 years. He appealed and last week the sentence was overturned by the state high court. They overturned it based on a comment made by one of the jurors and his atty said the juror should've been dismissed. We still can't believe it - there was an eye witness to the shooting - what is wrong with our court system. Now we will be faced with another trial and I'm not sure our family can get through having that wound ripped open again. There's just no comfort for my sil and bil.

Oh, boy. Lots of suckiness today...
g - If "Nico" doesn't work out, I've got an army of bald, bitchy, chemo'd women (from the "Laughter" thread) armed not only with shovels, but spades and composting forks as well! You can borrow them and march right back to that dentist's office! The nerve!!! And your hygienist should live next to my neighbors!
lemonpie - All I can say is that truly sucks, girl. Hugs to you.
Sheila - Sooo sorry. What a hard thing to have to re-live. Hugs to you and your family.
flyrzfan - great news! I get the waiting part, so I'm glad you're past that.
I don't have much of anything for today - all has been quiet on the western front. Except I'm starting my first chemo tx tomorrow. Can't really complain about that...yet.

Cristine,
What are you having? I will be thinking of you today and sending you hugs and wishes for very few, mild to no side effects.
And if you need a shovel sister, I'll come a-runnin.
Love,
Sue

Dont have much time during the work week - but wanted to stop by and say a big that sucks to everyone.
Cristine: One thing I learned from others that were here before me. Drinks lots of water before, during, and after chemo. Drink and Pee! First chemo is the hardest - that sucks.
GSG: That dental hygienist needs a bitch slap. How rude and inconsiderate. Im still coping with a botched hair cut. My husband said "well I wouldnt go to her again. It will grow back." Geesh!
Sam: What a sad story. Just like child molestors getting a slap on the hand! Do we have a justice system that actually protects us?
Missed many of you, Im out of time and need to hit the shower to get ready for work. Catch up with ya later.

Hi Traci, This is Kaloni again, from Tampa. As crappy as it is. I do want to thank you for this thread. It is crappy and great at the same time! We are so able to vent our anger out hear. Especially, for Mr.Menopause trying to bust my door down. Ha! He is total crap and he sucks the big one. Ha! I feel better already. Bye, Traci.
God Bless,
Love,
Kaloni

Sue - I'm starting with Cytoxan and Carboplatin (every 3 weeks x 4) and then the same schedule with Taxotere. I'll feel better (maybe?) after this first one. Not much sleep last night. Better shower, though!

Cristine,
How'd your 1st tx go?
Praying and hoping for minimal se's......
Check in when you can

Hi Sue,
I posted a bit on the May Chemo thread. I'm o.k., it was a really long day. Feeling a bit loopy and tired and achy and I'm trying to anticipate things (like acid reflux, just took some Tums), so we'll see how it goes the next few day.
All the nurses are really great, met a couple of other bc ladies at the center. I think I'll be sleeping a lot tonight - when I'm not getting up to pee. LOL.
Thanks for asking...

Patrice, I could read NO further before I commented on your post about your dental hygienist. WHAT? My hygienist is fatter than me, but I certainly don't think she grotesque. Hmmm...I found out from my hygienist that I need a lot more dental work done. The teeth weren't that dirty, it's my stupid dry mouth...need crowns, root canal and a wisdom tooth extracted. Now, that's horrifying! I cannot believe she had the nerve to say such a thing to you. Nor, can I believe she had the nerve to talk to you about healthy eating. Karma! Watch..she's gonna get FAT!
Shirley
Now that's ^ gross!

Diane, I had to reply to your post before reading more. Is this what you were referring to about the fleas? LOL
And this one is about ALL THOSE OPINIONS that we don't ask for.
I love Maxine. She's my kinda gal!

I'm very lonely. I'm the only one posting here.
But I just wanted to say.........Nico, I need to PM you. I need you to me who you know that knows someone that knows someone....I detest my insurance!
Miss S, I agree with you. Patrice is a beauteeful person inside and out.
Lemonpie, bless your heart. You did make sense. And you need to b*tch much more often. Your friend said what? That your chest probably looks like a man's? Newsflash? You shoulda FLASHED! Shock the crap outta her! How ignorant. And I definitely empathize with your teeth problems. I'm getting MORE work done. DH doesn't know yet.
Otter, hope you start feeling better soon.
Flyrzfan, we're ALWAYS happy to hear nonsucky information. I am very happy that you did something "postive" to that nerve. Good job!
HAHA, Rockthebald! Too funny! Perhaps that ponytail was a falsey and it slid around to the side of her head.
Patrice, could it be that your dh has a sense of humor? He didn't mean that, right? My dh's hears me gripe about my hair cut and he says I'm never happy. He knows better than to tell me how sh*tty it looks! I have my own shovels and a big back yard!
Kaloni, menopause? What's that?
Oh, Sheila, that REALLY sucks about your nephew. Geez, I'm so sorry your family has to go through another trial. Ya know, the accused has to be given "a fair trial." A witness? I think he's had a fair trial. Hugs to you and your family.
Christine, hope you had a great night's sleep and no SEs. I was so scared when I got my first chemo. But, I was ready for it. Get plenty of rest and stay away from sick people and wash, wash your hands especially after you've been out in the public.
Hope everyone gets a good night's sleep with no hotflashes.
Shirley

Just stopping by to see how things are going for everyone but it looks like it's been a less than sucky day since there's hardly any posts.
Thanks everyone for your good wishes about the trial we're going to have to endure again. Unfortunately it takes forever to get a trial set up, so we'll probably have this hanging over our heads for another year. It sucks big time.
Shirley, maybe everyone else has gone to bed. . .maybe that's where we should be too, but I'm having one of those nights. . .will probably end up popping a tylenol PM to put myself out. I was glad to hear your visit with the kids went well. Will your daughter that was in Africa (is that the right place?) be staying in the States now?
Here's my gripe for the day and it's not much of one. I finally got the dh to purchase electric hedge trimmers because I simply cannot do the manual ones anymore (and trimming the bushes has always been my job). Anyway, now that we have a "power tool" to trim the bushes, he took over the job when we got home. Not only did he trim the bushes, but he got out his big ole blower to clean up the trimmings (I always had to just rake them). I'm not really complaining cuz I hope he keeps it up. . .guess my gripe is that I didn't buy that hedge trimmer a long time ago!
Hope everyone has a non-sucky Friday.
0 -
Another quick pop in for me. Thank goodness its Friday.
Cristine: I remember my first chemo. When people asked me how I felt, I said "well its like jumping out of a 7 floor building as saying so far so good." Glad the first one is over and you are now in the countdown.
A big hello to everyone else. Will have to catch up with ya after work.

i am appalled at that hygenist i would have called the dentist the next day ! she really should be fired- its not only unacceptable but its abusive! so sorry you had to go thru that - SHE SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS!!!!too bad we cant picket outside her office
lemonpie What you are going thru DOES SUCK BIG TIME
i am so sorry you have to deal with all this - i am sending lots of love and hugs for your speedy recovery again
i had a 2nd dx 10 yrs after my first i thought i was home clear after 10 years with no problems -i was finally relaxed about bc so I know how you feel IT IS HARD ENOUGH ONE TIME BUT AGAIN SUCKS SO BAD you will get past this and once again life will NOT suck
i was 39 the first time and no family history struck out of the blue
i guess thats how it happens for most of us-
well i have no complaints of my own today except my daughter is home from college and she needs to take summer classes and get a job!!! and of course she has not moved yet from the couch since she got home last weekend !! ugh its going to be a long.......... summer
good news is that the company i work for (party rental co) acquired another company in the hamptons of long island and i will be spending alot of time there this summer (my favorite summer place! ) and going to alot of events - just informed we do p diddys party out there and I can crash it !!!! now that does NOT SUCK
love to all

Sheila, just had to laugh at DH buying electric hedge trimmers, after all your work with the old hand trimmers over the years, thats just typical DH 'stuff'
When I was dx'd DH went out and bought a ride on lawn mower, after I had been pushing a little petrol mower round for 20-odd years, I was really mad as I'd wanted one of those for years. I was instructed to never even touch the blasted thing, never mind use it!
Trouble was, he wasn't interested in keeping my lawns short. I like it scalped, he thinks 4-5" is quite acceptable before it needs cutting.
One day he wasn't around, and I thought I would show him, and use the mower. I got it out into the garden then it would not start, I was frothing at the mouth in temper !! I knew DH was soon to be back home, so I had to push the great big thing back into its shed, I was about dead by the time I'd got it back. Then I had to keep my mouth shut when he got it out and it wouldn't go, hehehe.
Luckily I got away with that one, he never even thought I'd have managed to get it out, and then back in again !!!
This year I have just gone and got the thing out and used it, DH is not pleased, but, so what !!??

Nicki - Day 2 is "so far, so good" but I like the jumping analogy!
Shirley - I did get a good night's sleep (despite getting up to pee and having the IV tube still in my arm. lol...
Thanks for the good thought (even though this is the bitch 'n moan thread).
So a big "That Sucks" to all who need it today. I'm sure my turn will come again for you all to listen to my crap!

Sheila, that really sucks...waiting for a new trial. It's just not fair! Let's cross our fingers that he gets a hateful judge and a mean jury! And, yes, my dd and sil will be in the states for a few years. They would like to travel more with a SPONSOR'S help (financially). She'll get a job and I believe sil will write "the" book after finding a publisher.
Let's hope you dh continues trimming the bushes with his new toy!
Hey, Nicki.
jdash, I remember so well when DDs came home from college. As much as we love them............
Isabella, you crack me up! You're a mess. I bet your dh doesn't know what the heck to do with you. Love it!
Cristine, so glad you had a good night's sleep. My first chemo...I woke up nauseated. Oh, I felt so bad. I didn't throw up, but sure wish I could've. I think the nausea came from what I ate. And OUCH to the IV tube in your arm. I had a port.
My big sucky thoughts are the money I will spend on the dentist, endodontist and oral sugeon. My dh doesn't know yet. Need I tell you I'm depressed!
My dd and her hubby are coming over for dinner tonight. I think dh will be cooking.
Hope every one's rest of the day is suck free!

I dont know about you, but I feel like my spoon has been to big and my cup too full from the time I was diagnosed with bc.
Today was one of those days. What can you blame it on? Woke up with a headache that lasted all day despite Darvocet. Lots of humidity and my chest felt heavy. My muscles hurt and I was just tired. Couldnt wait to come home and take a nap. Or maybe stay in bed the rest of the evening. So thats my bitch for the day.
Jdash: Spending lots of time at the Hamptons sounds like a blast!
Cristine: I remember saying those exact words. "so far so good." I had adriamycin and cytoxin and for me the worst side effect was the hair loss and fatigue. I remember coming home from my first chemo and layed there waiting for the symptoms to come. I woke up the next day and realized I wasnt gonna get the "usual" symptoms. Anyways, having to go through this sucks, sucks, sucks. At least your in the treatment mode and I hope it moves quickly for you. We shall have a big party when your done.
Shirley: You are just too funny my friend.
Isabella: The lawn mower cracked me up. I could visualize you pushing it back in before you husband got home.
Sam: Men! They can be so nice, but they can also suck so much.
GSG: Ah yes, the Italian curse - this is what your dental hygienist is gonna look like a year from now.
OK - I have missed many and I just want to say thats a big sucks to everyone. Hoping I can catch up from here. Its the week-end ya know. No working like a jerkin.

You know what sucks? I worked a four-day week and I AM SO TIRED I CAN'T MOVE. And this fatigue is cumulative??!!?!? I've only had 2 of six treatments!! What's it going to be like before it's over?
Sorry, wrong order again. Shirley----slow web sites SUCK!!!
Cristine--waiting for the se's, after you've already had the chemo and you can't go back and change your mind (not that we could anyway, but it's nice to say) SUCKS!!!
Nicki--You work hard!!!! It SUCKS that you have to!!!
Can somebody teach me how to put those things in my messages? I'm technologically challenged (Took me three weeks to figure out how to upload my avatar, and there are detailed instructions!!!!)
You know what DOESN'T SUCK? It's Friday and I can sleep as late as I want to tomorrow!!!!!!
Hope everyone has a night which isn't sucky.
Love,
Sue

Sorry to anyone having anything sucky going on. This is my first time visiting, but I'm guessing, not the last. I've been pretty darned ecstatic since finishing treatment in Feb. but I have to say, I can feel a change a comin'. lol
My bitch today is this....why why WHY is it okay for co-workers and customers to make my hair a topic of DAILY conversation? I admit, when I fist quit wearing my wig, it was nice to get it out there in the open. And I did so appreciate the compliments and encouragement. But ya know.....I went back to work in MARCH and I still have to have at least one conversation a day about my stinkin' hair, or lack of. Before my dx nobody would've had the nerve to talk to me the way they do now. If I got something new done, it would be commented on for a few days and that'd be it.
I know I've been very open about everything, and I haven't had a problem talking about anything anyone wanted to know. I truly wanted everyone to be comfortable, and know that I was the same "see the humor in everything" person I was before I took time off for treatment.
But, people can we PLEASE move on? Get over how short my hair is, how curly, how much grayer, how much darker, blah blah blah. Yes, I am very happy to have some, on the other hand, it's not even close to enough and I HATE IT! Sometimes, I can forget that it's different...maybe even some days, when I'm busy and working, I could forget that I had cancer. That is until someone starts staring at my hair and I know what's coming.
Oh yeah...one more thing. If you decide to make my hair the topic of your convo, and then I complain because I don't like how it looks, don't blow me off and tell me I should quit worry about it, or I shouldn't focus on it so much. YOU brought it up, you put the focus on it!
And now on top of everything, I feel badly for complaining, because no one means any harm. LOL Oh boy.....I'm just having one of those days.
Thanks for listening....I feel better.

Isabella - LMAO That sounds like something I'd do. DH has a riding mower that's really too big for our yard, but he just had to have it. It's one of those things that can do 360 turns so I stay away from it, it scares me. I never minded getting a little exercise pushing a mower, but now it's all his job thanks to his fancy mower.
Miss Lolli - That sucks, people just need to think before they open their mouths. Hanna - You're so right about the belly thing.
Shirley - I agree about the slow posting. Wonder if that's what is causing so many duplicate posts.
A big That Sucks to anyone I'm missing.
My suckiness for the day was I got hit with one of those crying jags on the way to my PS appt this morning. It was one of those that just creeps up with no warning. . .just driving along one moment, crying the next. What really sucks is that it takes me a freaking eternity to get ready to go anywhere these days and I end up ruining my make-up on the way there. Then the PS told me it would take at least another month to heal my wound. And you know she says "at least" like she's thinking it "might" heal in that amount of time. It's already been 6 weeks. Looking at a big hole in your boob twice a day sucks.

Sheila,
crying jags suck. I got one this morning, too. I don't know why. Sometimes we just need to cry. I fell asleep on the couch last night, slept there for a couple of hours, then went to bed. I slept really well, I was tired from working all last week, but I woke up this morning with lower back pain which I would call moderate to severe. So I have spent all morning trying to convince myself it's just my lower back, which has always been my weak spot, it isn't cancer in my bones. Sometimes I just feel such helpless despair that I will have always had cancer, and on some level I feel I will always be afraid. My modus operandi has always been to face down whatever fear I have and defeat it--I had to learn to do that for my work--but how do you do that with this? And does it ever get easier? I'm just having a really low moment or two, I know that. But this fearful part of the new normal (I am really starting to hate that phrase) is really hard for me.
Thanks for listening.

Having people think I am either a) a man or b) a woman trying to look like a man SUCKS. So yesterday I learned how to wear a little eye makeup (Thank you, Sephora.)
Sheila: I can't offer nothing except empathy re: crying jags. But, for the ruining eye make-up suckiness, might I recommend: Bare Escentuals Prime Time eyelid primer? Fixes your eye make-up for 14 hours. I tested it on tears last night and it held up really well!
Big hole in boob. Sucks. Having a man follow me into the ladies' room last night because he thought I was a man sucks but admittedly, is kind of funny.

Rock,
"Having a man follow me into the ladies room last night because he thought I was a man".................that is funny. And, it sucks. People who haven't seen me for a while don't recognize me until I speak. I'm trying to have fun with it.
Sheila, having a hole in your boob that you have to look at twice a day does suck. But we love you anyway. So there.
I called my sil who is wonderful and talked to her and I feel better. I hate feeling fearful. But I am going to ask my onc about the lower back pain. And the neulasta--does anybody know if it would still be neulasta pain on day 16?
Going to try and go do some housework.
Have a great day,
Sue
