    Monday - check out some of the No reconstruction forums, there are women on there who had the reconstruction undone for a variety of reasons, pain being one, they are a fount of information!

    My last visit with my MO did not go so well this time. He scheduled me for a brain CT and then later after he got all my blood work back he added a full body CT. My tumor markers are on the rise so the Stable boy has left me at least for the time being. Then I got a letter saying my insurance would not cover the name brand Famara after they had approved it 2 months ago. I have been through every other generic manufacturer all with major side effects that I do not get with the name brand. Oh well, at least that is something my MO will take care of for me. However, since I am no longer stable on it he may switch me to something else. Have to wait and see what the CT scans show. I won't get those results until I am back from Japan! At least I am still going to see my DD#1 and her family. I sure do miss them as well as my DD#2 and her family that is in Oklahoma. Kendall, DGD#1 got back from her trip to DC and NYC and had a blast. She was really tired, but could hardly wait to tell her sisters all about everything she did and got to see.

    Hope everyone has a good weekend. Hugs, AJ

    The best link for Melissa's story is the Wenson-Salem Journal. http://www.journalnow.com/news/local/article_b9bf93f8-9b11-11e2-8537-001a4bcf6878.html

    She had been staying with a cousin in Winston-Salem to get treatment options and possible treatment for her recurrance of BC.  Last time I talked to her she seemed a little more positive, but was still depressed and missing "her Outer Banks".  We may never know what she was thinking or what happened to cause her to take this action of "suicide by police".  I feel so sorry for her family and for the police that were involved in the incident.  This boggles my mind and my heart aches for everyone that knew and tried over the years to help Melissa.

    Hugs to all.  AJ

    My love and prayers to all of you.  I can't remember the exact date but the first of Feb.  I was told I was cancer free.  All scans and test were fine.  My DH of 46 years had been told he was being dismissed from woundcare after nearly a year.  His dialysis was going well and I could just see a good year ahead for us.  All the good news was on Tuesday.  Early Wednesday morning I heard a thud and asked DH if he had fallen.  The answer was "yes".  He compressed the 3-6 vertbrae in his neck and was paralized from his shoulders down.  To make a long story short he made the decision to remove the respirator.  He could not breathe on his own, could not talk, and could not even scratch his nose. He was so tried and ready to go.

    After being a caretaker for nearly 7 years and going through IDC I am so lost but I know things will get better.

    Now that I have more free time I sure need to check in and give encouragement to all of you. Breast cancer presents so my physical and emotions problems but they can be worked though.

    Thanks Sherryc.  I spent so many hours on this forum during my chemo and radiation.  I was constatntly reading.  I did not post often but I got so much comfort from visiting and learning what was going on with others going through what I was going through,

    Mimidi - so sorry to hear about your husband.  I know that was a hard decission for him to make, and that you will feel lost for a while.  Send you lots of hugs and prayers.

    I have not checked in for almost a week as I have been in Japan, still am, and this is the first time I have been able to get connected.  We head home today and should be back in North Carolina around 6:30 tonight after a 16 hour flight. Got to go get loaded up so we can get to the airport.  Check back in when I get home.

    Joy and blessings, AJ

  • Elisimo
    Elisimo Member Posts: 1,262

    Mimidi - just checking is to see how you are doing and to let you know I am still praying for you and thinking about you often.  Take care and let us hear from you.  I know this is a difficult time, but this too shall heal with lots and lots of time.  Just remember how loved you were and still are by so many.

    Shells - where have you been?  Good to see you pop in again.  Daisy dog is not doing very well she has serious problems with her heart and we will get a sonogram tomorrow to see where things stand now.  She is down to 17lbs from her normal 24 and has trouble standing, breathing, eating or doing anything without going into distress.  Take care girlfriend.

    Joy and blessings to all. AJ
