Oh yes, some eye candy would be nice. The doc said cut back on the sweets during chemo, but said nothing about eye candy.

Clair I too pray that all is well.
You know, I know everyone blames their aromatase inhibitors for weight gain but since I just started mine I can't blame the couple pounds I gained on them. Therefore I've come to the conclusion its belonging to this thread and thinking about all the good stuff everyone puts on here -scones, chocolates, lattes, yummy umbrellas drinks, you name it, that's causing my weight gain!

Claire - Count me in for the pocket party - Bringing lattes & chocolate........ Seriously though, I will pray for a successful surgery with a speedy recovery.

Candie, I'm doing pretty well overall. Tired, slightly nauseous but manageable. Thanks for asking!
Claire, thinking of you and sending prayers up for good healing.0 -
Hi Middies, I have returned (yesterday, actually.) First day home tired, busy. Will elaborate more later. I'm a convert to cruising now since it is a real vacation for any woman just by virtue of not having to cook any meals for a week. Will write some highlights in a later post, once I get some pics loaded and onto Photobucket, and feel like spending time on computer. It was a very nice break to be offline for a while week. Try it sometime.
Anyway, I just spent a good amount of time just catching up on this thread. The thread carried on so well in my absence...I want to welcome MzMerz and MaddyMac. MaddyMac, I can almost always appreciate a sarcastic dig directed towards a sub-par doctor; but I can always appreciate a well directed cream pie! Ahahaha!!!!!!!!
Jeannie57 and Dianarose, Your chemo is well underway now and I hope both of you are handling it o.k. It's not the dreadful unknown anymore, so I hope you both are having the confidence now that it is definitely something you can "get through." That is the big mental hurdle...when you think, "Yeah, yeah, I know a lot have done it, but how will I do? What if I can't handle it?" Isn't it a fabulous surprise when you first realize, "Hey! I CAN DO THIS!" Stay the course, sister-girls.
cmbear, Ooooh, you wait until I am gone to finally bring out the scones? I think I put in a request a couple months ago, and now all I get are a few days old ones. Boo-hoo! But I will let you off the hook because you did give up the recipe AND cranberry orange ones are my favorite AND because you just had your DIEP surgery. Hope to hear from you soon, but for now just chill and recover at your own pace.
madpeacock, You were so tricky with the MP, using an item that so many of usavoid as much as we can.
Paula66, Your guess and mention of the words "toilet brush" for the first time ever on this thread have elevated it to new heights. Although they seem quite difficult to use, I have now been inspired to give one a whirl in the near future having recently become aware that a toilet bowl should not be pink, with a brown waterline.
Hang in there for a few tales from Alaska and a few pics...coming soon.

Welcome back Eli!!!! So glad you had a wonderful cruise! From what I hear Alaska is very beautiful. Farther up north is the coldest, but the cruise scene is where parts of Alaska has a few seasons.

Yay!!!!!!!!!! E's home!

E's not only home, but already has burned her retinas from trying to view the eclipse of the Sun by Venus happening RIGHT NOW by looking at it with a mirror and three pairs of sun glasses. So don't anyone else try that today. Eclipse glass ONLY, or the old pinhhole/shadow method, but I think the little DOT of Venus will be too small to see that way. I'm now going to look on the NASA website.
Next chance...105 years.

Welcome back Elimar- looking forward to some pictures.
2nd infusion tomorrow morning. Not liking the nausea much.

Our neighbor came knocking on our door yesterday saying he wanted to share something with someone. He had a pair of special eclipse glasses and he took us outside and we looked at the eclipse. It was amazing! No burned retinas here, and I can say I actually saw the event!!!!

Welcome back Elimar! Can't wait to see some pics and hear all about your trip.

Dianarose, I remember that my fear of getting sick was the biggest issue for me. My Onc gave me a sample of Emend for my first tx and it worked like a dream. The second tx I was supposed to get the rx for Emend but my insurance wouldn't cover it, and I suffered without it. When I was in tears talking to my NP, she gave me samples for each of the remaining tx's. I will always be thankful to her for having compassion for me. There are things to help with nausea, ask your Onc.

Meece, I can't believe they wouldn't let you have emend. That seems stupid.
I had emend with the FEC treatment. For the taxotere they said I didn't need it, and they were right. I was on some other kind of anti-puke meds, but milder stuff, and I think I only took what they gave me in the IV along with the tax.
