Sherry, I have had a few birthdays I hated, till I decided I would start forgetting my age!
Gma, I too get a new foob every two yrs and four free bras a year. Note to others, I had a lumpec, not a mast, and insurance still pays. I never thought I cared much about one boob not fitting into regular bra real well,until my surgeon suggested I go visit the place. When they fitted me, and I was able to actually get the foob and the bras right there, I cried when I looked in the mirror. Turns out I did care after all!0 -
Diana, sew on another pocket hon, two aren't going to cut it tomorrow. I have to bring the ice, and the glasses and the vodka...don't worry if that one side droops a little.

Eli, and anyone else with sensitive ears, apologies for my bad language. I learned English in restaurant kitchens in NY, nuff said. However, in my defense, cancer fully warrants some cussing, in my opinion.
Speaking of NY and mofos, I had a friend years ago, who was very much in love with his wife. The wife had become a grandma and my friend was fond of announcing that he was now a "GRAND ... motherfucker."

Dianarose - Might as well ditch work so I can jump in your pocket. Pretty sure that I won't be concentrating on my job today. ((hugs))
cmh - if you put celery in a drink then you can call it a meal right? I will bring some clamato juice for anyone who wants a different taste.
momine - I agree that you were warranted in major cussing - cancer deserve no niceties. Also my ears have heard plenty in their 49 yrs. Living in redneck territory is similar to living in NY in that not much is held back.

My daughter called me last night with what the doc's at the hospital she works at said about my path report. Good news it's not in the ovaries, bad news it's on the outside of one ovary and fallopian tube. Hitch hikers and how many more are smimming around down there????? That's where the part of the path report that says no lesions on the ovaries comes in. Like you said Eli, all my reports are complicated. Does this still count as mets???? Has anyone else had this before. I hate being different. I don't understand why they make us do the chemo and rads before putting us on the AI's when you are 100 % er and pr postitive. They say that's our best weapon yet we pull it out too late in some cases.

((Dianarose)) That was nice that the doc's where your daughter works were eilling to explain the report to her, and that she could further explain it to you. I'm in for the pocket party.

Heads up! I'm jumping into Dianarose's pocket, and I've got "breakfast" with me. We can start on these basic Bloody Mary's. I think Barsco will be bringing her recipe later. Since I cannot actually have alcohol or even celery or even a beverage containing ice, I'll have a double!

Someone said we needed waiters. I found these guys in Sydney (their FB page is called "Topless Waiters" and the guy on the far left is mine, since I found them I get first dibs
):

Oh, we need something for them to serve:

Mimine, Sydney who? Please tell me you mean Australia.

Hugs Dianarose.

Well, Momine, aren't you the miracle worker. I'll take one on the right.
I thought maybe some chocolate dipped strawberries so a semblance of breakfast/healthy. Does that go with bloody mary's???
Y'all keep quiet so Dianarose can hear. Too much snorting/snickering.

Eli! You are worse than I am, even if you achieve this feat without the use of bad words
Yes, the nice boys are Australian.0 -
I'll take any of the left overs.....guys that is.... All my thoughts with dianarose. Be

Momine, that's how I stay admirably naughty, and the scary part is how effortless it is. (Snort! Snort!) Since you have dibs on my first pick of hot waiter-boys, send over the one going commando in the overalls.
Also, I am floating in a chemo fog today. I'll be getting detached from my home pump later today, so the fog should lift after that. My calves are hurting so bad, it is hard to go down the stairs. The tip of my tongue is numb again. I HATE chemo, HATE it.
0 -
Eli - I hate it for you too but so long as its kickin' those little s***s to the curb. How long are you available in the detached state?
So you drank the tomato juice and left us with the alcohol, celery and ice or is tomato juice on your list of consumables.

Eli, harumph! You wanna make sumtin of it?
I don't mean the boys, but that italic "admirably." What am I ova here, chopped liver?But, I will still let you have overall boy though. I am big-minded that way
Although my boy has on underpants, they don't seem to do much good, ahem.0 -
I don't know that Mr. Overalls guy has on any. Just sayin'.

Oh, you have absorbed some NYC, haven't you, Momine. I think your guy is holding my guy's tighty-whiteys! Don't ask, don't tell.
Luvmygoats, I don't even like tomato juice, but since I can't have skins or seeds of real tomatoes (or other vegetables either,) I did buy myself those small cans of V8 juice to drink at room temperature.
Not that it is good for me, but I cannot help wanting salty food more on chemo. Did anyone else get this? I remember my mom was always asking me for table salt for her meals. Our family rarely uses "table" salt, that is, have a shaker on the table to add more than the little we might put in a cooked meal. Now I find myself sprinkling it on meals, and it seems to make the food taste more normal. Can the high blood pressure be far behind now? Ai-yi-yi!
I only wear that home pump for 46 hours. I say only, because when I did neoadjuvant, it was on 24/7. I don't really like going out and about with my stange little attachment, but the times when I did, people did not even comment and maybe not even notice. They probably thought it was just an ugly shoulder bag. I would post a pic of what my little Hitler in a Handbag look like, but BCO images is not working for me right now. ???

"admirably naughty" - love it! I hate chemo for you too Eli. Good thing you don't make a habit of biting your tongue - it being so numb you might just bite it off - ouch!
Food, drink, dancing boys ..... It doesn't get much better.

WoW- that was a pocket party with a WoW factor. I want the one with the bib overalls!!! You ladies were great. Made that MO answer all of our questions. I know some of you had one to many Bloody Mary's so I will re-cap. They were delicious by the way. Eli, I hope you had 2.
Who would have ever thought that being stage IV is the best senerial in this case. Doc agreed that was the worse path report he had ever gotten back. He said he actually was hollering at them on the phone yesterday. There are mistakes in the report. Yes, the cancer is actually in the ovary and fallopian tube (he got this during his phone call). There was absolutely no signs of cancer until they sliced through everything. The tissue was still soft, which he said is a good thing. The Her2 being positive is something that he thinks is wrong. Momine, as you mentioned, everything is now being sent to a lab in Boston for a 2nd opinion. He wants to make sure that it is indeed mets and not ovarian cancer. We want it to be mets. Ovarian cancer would mean another major surgery and more chemo, no thanks. I am going to have to have another CAT scan. Yuck. I don't do well with the contrast they put in the IV never mind the bottles of crap you have to drink the night before. He said if nothing lights up he will put me back to NED status. We love NED. I have to have a bone scan as well. Never had one of those so maybe someone can enlighten me to how that one is. I don't like surprizes. Blood work is on the menu again for tumor markers and all that stuff. A lot to get through to make sure the little bastards aren't hiding some where else. He believes that they were in the ovary from the get go, so like many others, stage IV right out of the gate. He said lobular likes the ovaries so why he wanted to give me a shot instead of removing them before is still questionable. He said that they really don't grade lobular, which is again questionable. Said lobular is usually mid-grade so they consider it all about the same. He wants me to heal for 2-3 weeks before the tests so we get good results. The results from the new path report will take about 2 weeks. I told him that I want him to call me when he has them. I don't want them 2nd hand from the ps who could not answer any of my questions. He actually answered all the questions today instead of talking in circles. I think all you ladies intimidated him. Great job !!!
Thank you all for being in my pocket and so supportive. I know I have a lot more hurdles to jump over in the next month. Thank God I have long legs.

Oh,diana, queen of tarts, praying your mind can absorb all the info thrown at you today. Came to the party late,so just cleaning up after you all. Where'd those cute guys go.......
I am starting back on the arimidex again. They want me to try it one more time. I was just getting use to feeling better. Since I've still part of a bottle left,I said ok. But it sure feels like we're experimenting here.
Birthdays are just another reason to party in my book.I don't think I've acted my age in a long time. When I was younger I acted older, now I act younger. A person told me the other day that I looked like a teenager. LOL must be this bc regimen.0 -
Diana,I just saw your post! So yay for NED!!!!! Get on with the healing, and we'll be with you for the hurtles. I'll be pushing you over since my legs are very short.

Dianarose, It does seem to make more sense now, and I'll stay hopeful that the scans come back clear. NED would be great. The bone scan is one of the easiest. You get a radioactive injection, then wander off for 2-3 hours before coming back for the scan. The scan is usually between 30-60 minutes on an open table, so no claustrophobia and no loudness either. You might even be able to watch the monitors as they do it, depending on how it is set up in the room.

Eli- the other thing we wanted to know from the path is how well defined is this cancer. We want to know if it appeared chemo had any effect on it. We want details of was it alive and healthy or on it's way out. The path report can tell so much more than the one these people did. The MO couldn't believe that someone else actually signed of on this guys report. Is the radioactive dye similar to the one you get with a PET?
