Boy Claire you are one strong woman! I would have messed my pants after the first miss and then been a crying mess. Hats off to you girl! Well, my RO gave me a clean report. Did an ultra sound on both sides just to make sure everything matched up with the mamo from last month. Don't have to go back until July. One smiling Kitty here!

Good to see you smiling Kitty! Glad you got a good report.
Claire - what a day! Yikes. Not sure I would have remained so composed. But you are right in that there is no sense getting angry or upset - it would just make everything worse.
Maybe I should be requesting a PP for today just to make sure everything runs smoothly. No blood draw - just CT scan @ 12PM - I know it's short notice but would love to have some company if anyone is able.
Hope everyone enjoys the day!

Barsco, May it be a dull and boring CT for you today. We need excitement, but not that kind.
Barbe, Sometimes technology "forks" with you, sometimes it's the open highway. Just paraphrasing from your tagline. The good news is many visits and procedures have come and gone, and about the worst of it is that Dianarose might topple over on one side. (Just read back one page for that.) And jo got a surprise hematoma bonus procedure and hospital stay. You did miss a hot man (with hair on his chest!) jumping out of jo's birthday cake.
I wonder if the pocket posse would like to share my snack of yogurt stuffed dates? The picture makes them look ginormous, like potato skins.

Thanks for the PP everyone! I got some strange looks as I was licking the chocolate outta my pockets after the procedure - waste not want not! Eli - no leftover dates so someone sure liked them. Ossa - cheese and crackers is one of my favorite go to snacks. No results yet but hoping for some by end of day
Welcome back Barbe!

I admit it. I ate the rest of the dates when Eli wasn't looking. Dates, Greek yogurt, and pistachios? Om nom nom nom....

LOL, madpeacock! I like that chewing noise and will have to use it. So much more ladylike than my usual chomp, chomp, chomp.
Had to paint a deck today. I acquired this already painted deck along with my house and it has been mine to re-paint ever since. It took me two CDs to get it done. How long it that? I did have time to realize that it was a lot of work with my treatment-side arm. Then, I had additional time to see how uncoordinated I was with my other hand, which was pretty bad, so treatment side did most the work anyway.

barsco I'm in your pocket too. I'll try to find something yummy to bring.
Barbara welcome back we have missed you.
Day two of going back to work as been good. Everyone that comes it says how much they missed me. Good to feel needed. Already back at working on a project that needs done and is due in a couple weeks.
edited to say I was at work and had typed this up and forgot to hit submit. so it seems out of order.

Welcome back Barbe. Crossing everything for your scans Barsco. Glad work is going well Sherry.
Sorry I've been away but dealing with one mouth issue when another decided to pop up. Had to get a tooth pulled today and it's not even on the side that started my journey with the oral surgeon. Ugh, still have to deal with that. Good news that it's not ONJ though.0 -
Where is everyone ???
I went to the BS today for a check up. It has been 16 days post-op and I feel great. She was amazed at how good I am healing and said it wasn't what she expected at all. She was acting a little different and had my Onco type results in her hands. I asked her if they were as ugly as my path reports and she said NO. My score was a 6. The question is now what? Even with positive nodes chemo is not going to benifit me. She said she will be curious to know what the MO says on Monday. I am so glad I insisted on the test and didn't sign up for chemo for nothing. The MO had predicted my score would be in the middle. I am just not the norm.
I hope everyone is doing ok.

Dianarose that is great I can't believe the score is so low. My score was a 23 and I opted out of chemo

Sherry- The link above explains the Oncotype scoring really well. What was your recurrence score? My Onco score was 6 and my recurrence score was an 8.

E - Still lurking..... just a few pages behind..... now caught up! Thanks for thinking about me!
Claire - that sounded horrible!! However, whenever I get an IV, it usually gets done in my hand. Now the best place to have contrast shot in.... and I have never had Chemo - just bad veins! Will be in your pocket for even the smallest procedure!
Great to see you back Barbe - I lurk a few threads that you post in and just love your humour!! You HAVE been missed!
Hope everyone has a great week end!

I am home now, pain is crazy , i hate it . my surgery was over 8 hours hope u gals had plenty to eat. they placed me on a morphine pump and it sucked , I vomited so bad and itched and couldnt sit still .then i couldnt pee and it hurt so bad , had to be catheterized , i had 1200 then 1600 cc no wonder i was crying .they changed pump to dilaudid , I did ok after that . now I pee on my own . have 2 drains not alloud showers until they come out , they can come out when i have less than 25cc in 24 hrs , i am draining 60 in 24 hrs. i feel like someone slammed my chest with a steel beam. i couldnt sleep in recliner . so my mom bought me new pillows and we propped them up in bed .. sleep a little better now . glad to be home . I missed u all ...nodes were clear so far. im on percocet and zofran and keflex. also take bensdryl for itches . glad to be home . xoxoxo

Lisamarie - sending you healing vibes and best wishes for a quick recovery.

Reesie, I feel for you. That's sounds like the kind of luck I usually have with my poor teeth.
D-rose, I can believe it. Look at Eph's Dx, and she came back with a high RS score. Sometimes there are Oncotype surprises like that. Your MO will get the final word, but I am betting that you will just get hormone therapy. As helpful as Oncotype is, a large number of ER+s fall in the middle range (like Sherryc and me, too) and then it becomes a more personal decision. My score was 18 and chemo offered me only a 2%-3% benefit, so I didn't do it. That only is how I feel about it, but some do want any extra benefit that the Beast won't return.
lm68, Oh, oh, oh! Your story made me cringe, especially the catheter. Very happy to hear your nodes were clear. (I guess I haven't been paying attention, because I didn't think they had to get the nodes out for DCIS or LCIS?) You need lots of rest now, so I thought you might like a manservant for some help around the house. I'd wait til you feel a little better before mentioning "steel beam" to him.
Don't forget: Paula66 is supposed to be by today with the second edition of Weekend Mystery Pic.
