    They will be quite concerned about me when I walk in. My breasts appear very lumpy at the moment and jiggly. Let's even out the two top pockets, please.

    Thanks alot Chrissy! Those WERE my fingers!! Meece, I'm going to sit in your hair. Let me just get up there.....I promise not to pull it once I settle down......there!

    Chili, because Costo is an arthritis, it can flare up at anytime. Before diagnosis I thought I was having a heart attack!! One day at work a man said "Should I call an ambulance?" and I said I don't know!!!! Very painful!!!! I take anti-inflamatories every day and still get break-through pain...sigh.

    I was wondering why my hair always looks like a rat's nest.

    He's French. It's not a nest, it's a boudoir!

    Most doctors tell patients to exercise and believe that the exercise helps with the fatigue. While I was not my normal self, I laced up my shoes and ran. It was amazing what I could do if I just overcame the mental hurdle. I was not nearly as tired as the gloom and doomers. I was most tired around week 16 of chemo. If you are tired, tell yourself it's okay it's not your fault, but don't give in entirely.

    Meece good luck today there for you.



    Found out SIL was back in the hospital seems she was dehydrated from not drinking enough water. My dad should get out of the hospital tomorrow. Kidneys are functioning normally now but have to replace his port due to blockage. He is so ready to be out.



    Well I am on Femara and have been taking it at night and my SE have been next to nothing since. I have also started taking D3 5000iu daily with walking 30 min at least 3x a week working up to 5 and it has been helping joint pains.



    Doing my parent volunteering tomorrow on DS band party at a local ranch OH the sanity.

    Meece - hope you are through by now and praying for good results! Sounds like your pants were quite full!

    mjb - great to hear the Femara is working for you. I was a big chicken about the AIs so I'm on Tamoxifen, but I realize I may have to switch one day. Sometimes the oncs say the combination of the two works well, sometimes they don't. Day to day our info changes....oh the sanity is right! Hope your dad gets out tomorrow!

    leisa - fingers crossed for good results today!

    Sheila! Congratulations on 6 years!!

    Cynthia, I am neither a doomer or a gloomer and my physical inactivity is not mental. It's physical! Please do not assume those of us who don't run a marathon are lazy. I'm happy for you that you can run. I have a handicapped license plate, I can barely walk.  Is is kind of patronizing to post that we just have to "snap out of it" and move. I know those weren't your exact words, but that's how they came across.

  • elimar

    I have to mediate on this one...I think the doctor's do just glibly tell us to get out there and exercise off the fatigue, but they aren't the ones taking the chemo or getting zapped by rads, so you have to listen to your OWN body, which might be saying take a nap on the sofa.  On the other hand, if you can keep up some kind of activity level (walking, or just some exercise at home) it does make you feel better and the increased circulation probably works the toxins out of your system quicker.

    Barbe, you are going out of order!  You forgot to Welcome CynthiainChicago, before having a differing opinion with her.

    barbe - I re read the post from Cynthia and I have to agree with you.  I am not a gloomer/doomer either and I am also unable to do a lot of physical activity.  Get out and run?  Are you kidding me?
