Mostlymom hope today is better for you. I am sorry you lost your job. I completely understand being depressed over that..I work for myself and these last couple of years have been tough. I feel like I get a lot of my self worth and validation through work. Its the one thing I know I am good at and have accomplished much on my own in my career so when things arent going well I take it personally. Take this time to recover and heal then when the time is right for you ...start looking for something you will love to do. Maybe volunteering somewhere a couple of days a week or month will help you get back to life a little at a time. It isnt easy there are lots of days I wish I could shut off the world and stay in bed..but that is no way to live. Its ok for a couple of days but you cant make a habit out of it. Come here...chit chat with us...we get you and everyone is here for you.
Claire I am so sorry about the news of your sons grades and scholarships. Thats a tough pill to swallow when you know they have it in them they are just not applying themselves...plus they just dont get how severely not having those scholarships will affect you and your hubby. I hear ya with the bills piling on...it never seems to stop. I swear I feel like every time I save a $1 I get a bill for $10. I pay what I can and thats that. Unfortunately and oven is a necessity but you can find some deals out there. Hopefully your hubby is handy enough to hook it up cause that really adds to the cost. I am glad your recon is finally here!!!! One more step to moving forward.
I hope you have a restful peaceful weekend and I hope everything goes wonderfully for you on Monday!!!!! hugs to all ...TGIF!!

Claire, I'm sure your son will enjoy WORKING to get the tuition portion that he blew!!!! That is such a let down!!
I LOVE the cobalt blue! I did a swatch of my dark hair in that when I went on a cruise one. Very cool look.
Here's to gentle healing all around.

goodluck cmbear! I am sorry it looks like the perfect storm with all that is going on for you. I hope you can have some time with your husband that is quiet before all of this. You are the most important thing right now. Will be thinking about you.

claire: i'm so sorry the proverbial is hitting the fan!!! it always seems to happen when we least need it.. im praying your surgery goes well, and you get the rest you obviously need. don't be in a hurry to get home from the hosp let them take care of you for a bit....3jays0

Donna- I'm assuming you're home now, snug in your own bed, and hopefully taking it very very easy. Just remember not to lift your arms above your shoulders for a few weeks and allow everything to heal. If you're not in much pain it's easy to overdo it. (Learned that the hard way!) Hope you're feeling better and stronger every day!
Claire- They say when it rains it pours but sometimes it's just a frickin' hurricane isn't it? So sorry for all the challenges right now. Sounds like a perfect time to escape through anesthesia. Hope your DS is recovered so you don't have to banish him to his room. I'm sure you can use all the support you can get. My Mom got a horrible respiratory infection right before my MX so wasn't able to see her for the days leading up to my surgery and a few days afterwards. She couldn't even come to the hospital at a time I needed her the most. These things sometimes have the worst timing.
I hope you're able to find some moments of peace in the next first days. I know the days right before surgery are filled with so much anxiety and angst. Just know you've done your homework, made your decisions and try to look at this as a positive thing- a step in moving forward. Hoping all goes well for you on Monday and you're soon back home. (((hugs)))
I've been having my own little storms as well. Just got the bill for my LE PT- $1200 AFTER insurance plus another $256 for my sleeves. I used to say BC was the gift that just keeps giving but it's really the gift that just keeps taking- right out of your bank account. Grrrrr!
Also, finally got a doctor to acknowledge I may be hypothyroid even though my levels are in the "normal" range. Someone finally looked at my levels from my past 3 blood tests and saw how fast the numbers have climbed in the past year. My GP has agreed to put me on the meds and if my symptoms improve will adjust accordingly. I was just so happy that someone finally listened to me that I started bawling in the exam room. The first doctor I went to said, "Well, your numbers are in the normal range. Maybe you're just depressed." (I wanted to give him a depression right in the middle of his forehead.) Hmm, last time I checked depression doesn't cause low body temperature, puffy face, tongue swelling, hoarse voice, hair loss, etc. I should have gone to my old GP in the first place, because she's known me the longest and actually thinks outside the box, but she recently moved her office an hour away from me. Now I know she's worth the trip. Here's hoping the meds make me feel somewhat human again!

hi gals, i gotta tell you, the last week has been a roller coaster, and crashed in the end..
i got te mini van id been praying for, and searching for, for a long time now.. right in time for Marybe to come visit (this thurs) so i was over the moon!!!!
Kate, thats' the problem for me with the thyroid.. ip/down p/down. i hope you miss the ride.. most of my friends don't have the same..
anyway, i attacked boxes i've put away, from before bc and i had a complete meltdown . i should've realized.. they were from bf bc..
anyway, they were old, sexy things i can't wear anymore, with foobs, and 25 lbs heavier from hypo.. ok, made them with just a few tears.. life goes on , and im 62 now.. well, i almost made it. next, was from my moms stuff, since she died.. all the presents i'd given her.. WAY more tears.. then, i got into stuff for my long, red hair, that was so long and thick bf chemo, and hypo, and i truly lost it.. not depression, per se... GRIEF, and ANGER11 i kept telling myself during chemo "its okay , it grows back.." since then, im in the little group of women when it doesn't .. arrrrrggggggggggh
m realistically, it was thinning, tho i didn't realize it till i looked at old photos' and i didn't know as you age, the top is the place it thns out the most.. without chemo, they would've buried me with a good mane of hair, regardless, tho.. now, well, im aving a memorial already... for my hair, and the old me!!!
i have no choice but to get it together, marybe is coming this thursday.. so, im trying to push thru the rest.. just not looking, too closely, just "pitching" everything thats' not from my mom, and just putting that in boxes, for "later"..again...
so, thats' my story, and im stickin to it...
Kate, take those meds, and pm me, let me know how're ya doin.. i don't always get here, but i get an email when i get pms and always ck..
im really glad you got your gp to listen.. i know you'll feel better with them on board. i go thru a lot to take small amounts, and i feel better, so when you get the right amt, it should be great, for you!!!!3jays

Claire- Just wondered how you're doing. I hope everything went well and you're back home again. Sending you some healing thoughts and (((gentle hugs))).
Stanzie- Where are you???? I hope those headaches resolved and you're just busy getting those kids off to camp. Miss you!
Diane- Hope you're feeling better, too.
Boy, we all seem to be dealing with so many different medical issues right now! I'm struggling a little bit today, too, and trying to get my self in a more positive place. I had an all day pity party for myself yesterday. It's never a good thing when you start making a mental list in your head of all the things wrong in your life right now. I need to give myself a good kick in the a$$ today and stop it. But I can empathize with all of you struggling with those kinds of issues.
I'm wondering if normal aging causes all of us to stop feeling comfortable in our own skins? I find myself wanting to shed this body of mine, like a snake skin, between recon issues, LE, chronic pain, menopause, etc. Would I be feeling a lot of this anyway without the BC? I know I wouldn't have the LE and recon issues but would it just be something else? Does everyone lose that easy-breezy-comfortable-in-your-own-skin feeling as they get older?

Hey ladies..sorry havent posted ..stupid Comcast was down on and off for the last week and I havent been in the office to get on my computer there.
My poison crap and yeast infection skin rash are almost all gone. i will take the diflucan for the next three months (two pills a month) to completely get rid of it. I have not tackled it so agreesively in the past I guess thats why it wasnt completely going away. I got my braces TIGHTENED and got the dreaded rubber bands put on which I didnt think I was going to need. Needless to say my mouth is killing me...I see a lot of Mac n Cheese in my future..
good excuse to indulge. Although I did get the low sodium half the fat kind...which probably isnt as tasty but it wil do. I just cant really chew right now. Donna How are you???? I hope you are healing nicely and that your drains will be removed soon! Thinking of you!!
3Jays sorry you are having a hard time...I have had hair regrowth issues as well after chemo but I think some of it relates to the Tamoxifen. Some days I feel like Donald Trump swirling my hair around on top to cover the thinning spots. I try to not dwell on how I used to look and whats changed but remain hopeful that things will improve and look forward to the day I no longer need to take Tamoxifen. Hugs to you and hope you enjoy your visit with Marybe. Post pics if you can.
Hope everyone is experience the same gorgeous weather I am here in Baltimore. Yesterday a friend and I walked around Federal Hill and walked down to Fort McHenry which I havent been to since i was went on a field trip in Elementary school. It was beautiful! Great view and well kept park. Charlie was on his best behavior and enjoyed the long walk. I have to do that more...it was nice to have him not growl and bark at people and other dogs like he does in my part of the City. I guess the dogs in Fed hill are less threatening.
Anyhow, enjoy the day! hope everyone is feeling good.

I saw this on Ann's (Coolbreeze) blog today thought it was a great quote:
Amazing words from Dr Erica D. Bernstein that mean so much today.
"Cancer is not a battle that we win or lose. It is not our fault or a sign of weakness. We are not responsible for our cancer outcomes. The crapshoot of cancer and recurrence can NOT be controlled. Celebrate yourself for each time you, despite all the trauma of cancer, treatment, and the mindfuck of "survivorship", choose to love, live, lust, laugh... We are not a success story based on our cancer progression or not. We succeed when we are courageous enough to keep walking forward even with missing parts, severe pain, addled brains, and broken hearts."Diane

Hi All! I will have to catch back up later just wanted to pop in and say hello. As Kate said I've been down and out trying to get off pain meds this crazy Doc put me on for my back and legs after the car accident. Well, found out it is a narcotic so trying to get off it has been horrendous. So angry they would do this to me, especially since I very specifically told them I'm very sensitive to pain meds and what are the side effects. They said none, this is a very safe drug. Wrong. I'm finally weaned down a bit more so the headaches don't totally take me out for the whole day. Sleeping has been impossible as it makes me anxious and have crazy legs... then I'm hot on the inside and freezing on the outside. I finally can see why some people just say forget it give me back the meds. Anyway, I'm now down to the lowest dose and am trying to do one every other day. That isn't working so well but last night was one where I could take the pill so doing better today.
The worst was the Doc was so arrogant and rude when I told him how awful this was. He said something like well we can't be expected to know how individuals might react. I told him since it is all over the internet about how difficult this is to get off of I was surprised he didn't know about it. WRONG thing to say. Should have said I'm sure you have had other patients react like this. Anyway got this whole internet lecture which he said - truthfully - anyone who posts things on the internet are sad and unhappy people and you should be more careful in what you read! whoa!
Anyway, he went on to say I was taking the lowest dose. Told him that isn't what his PA said. He said he'd check on it but I probably would just have to "deal with it". Then came back in and said he did find a lower dose but it will be hard to find and they may have to have some company mail it to me. Then he sent a different assistant in - gave me the presc. I asked if it would be difficult to find. He said this? No its very common - you can get it anywhere..... Great this Doc. knows Nothing! I won't be going back needless to say.
So, Donna you must have had surgery... Kate has gold plated LE sleeves, no? Oh that's right they just cost as much as gold plated - sheesh! Um... 3Jays- Oh your story about going through boxes got to me. I have all my Mom's stuff still in the attic and have occasionally tried or looked at clothes I'll never be able to wear again - it is heart breaking.. I'm sorry. Actually I didn't know some people's hair doesn't return? I'm really so sorry to hear that - and of course it would happen to you as well! Really? That is so unfair - seems like you could at least get your hair back... and it sounded really beautiful. Again, just breaks my heart for you but somehow you still seem to handle things amazingly well.You probably really didn't want to hear that one.... but I do admire your courage and feel honored you feel safe enough here with us to share when you just can't take it anymore. Hope that makes sense. I keep waiting and hoping for something amazing wonderful to happen like you all of a sudden feel wonderful or find a new thyroid med that works perfectly and no side effects... sigh. I know....
Barb? How are you holding up? Diane? Claire.... I know I'm missing others but will have to start catching back up slowly.
My Son with DS leaves for camp on Sunday and my other son will leave the following Thursday. My daughter doesn't like sleep away camps even though I think she would have loved them if she had gone when she was younger... Anyway, trying to get everything ready is dreadful and I so hate for them to go even though I know they have a wonderful time... sigh... just me missing them before they have even left... All for now. Missed you all!

Stanzie I hope you can find a different doctor!!! How horrible for you.
Diane I ABSOLUTELY love what you posted about cancer. Don't we all feel like we failed sometimes because we got cancer when that is so not so. But somehow the stigma of cancer is still out there some. I hate when people say stay positive and you can beat this.......... so my dear friend Kathy who died of this horrible disease and one of the most faith filled and positive people I know wasn't positive enough. Oh I better not get started!
And survivorship is a mind game. One we work on every single day.
I am having surgery on June 15th small one to work on a result of the hospital mess up.
Have a good day ladies. I sound like I am down and angry but I am not really.

3jays- Somehow I missed your post about the loss of your hair. I'm so sorry. Everyone says BC is the gift that keeps on giving but really it's the one that keeps on taking. I know as women how important our hair can be to some of us. It's one of those things entwined with feminity in a way, too. I don't know enough about it but would those products men use for hair growth (Rogaine?) work for you?
Stanzie- Your story about your doctor just infuriates me! I think the reason some doctors don't want us on the internet is we become smarter than they are about things they're supposed to know. You just have to wonder- would he have treated a male patient that way? I doubt it. I do love the way you stood up to him, though! You go, girl!
Claire Bear- You out there? Hopefully you're just too busy being waited on hand and foot since your surgery to post but if you're reading- Wishing you pain free days and lightening quick healing!!!
Barbe, Debbie and Donna- Have you all gone MIA too?
I've been on the thyroid meds a week now. The good news is I'm tolerating them well because usually my body revolts with any new meds. My DH said maybe it's a good sign that it is something my body has been lacking. Am really hoping this is the answer to most of what ails me. Anyway, they said it'll take about 6 weeks to get the full effect but swear my appetite has decreased (believe me, that's a good thing!) and some of the facial swelling seems to be better.
Thought you could all use a chuckle. Our master bedroom shower is tiled with a natural stone and we've always struggled with mold forming. (So gross I know but we can't figure out why it keeps happening. I clean it, I swear!) Anyway, with my LE I have to wear my sleeves to do housework but our shower is quite large and impossible to clean without getting soaked. So I asked my DH to do it. Well, you would think he was going in to commit chemical warfare. He had plastic gloves up to his elbows, a respirator on and used so much bleach I could smell it at the opposite end of the house. I think it may be uninhabitable for months. lol! Oh bless him, he means well.

Kate tooooo funny!

hello girls, sorry i haven't been posting at all, but the soreness definitely increased, as did the swelling, a few days after surgery. I suspect it is all that healing fluid that the body sends gushing to the trauma site, at least according to the PT.
Still enjoy catching up on your news though and able to read all your posts, just not typing because it's so hard to do lying down and on my little phone.
Diane - Ow-ie about the braces, I remember those times, couldn't even eat comfort food for the pain! Loved that quote from Bernstein, it rings so true.
Stanzie - wow that was quite the doctor appmt, I hate taking pain meds too, getting used to dilaudid now, it used to make me very nausous and sleepy but much better now. And when I think of the internet and BCO and all the helpful information and beautiful women I've met, there's no way I would give that up! Some doctors have to start thinking out of the box, geesh. Good that you gave it to him about the meds.
Claire - I've been really thinking of you lots since your surgery day! I sure hope your DIEP surgery went well
I can imagine you are lying low and trying to rest and heal. Healing and happy thoughts your way for all that you have had to endure. I laughed when you said you were looking forward to the anesthetic for the rest ) 3Jays - I am starting to relate about ALL the things that we lose to BC. Just when you think it can't take one more, there goes your hair, I am soooo sorry to hear that and to know what beautiful hair you had, the grieving is hard. I am happy that my MX surgery is over BUT now to wait for pathology, then if that is all good, will be thinking of the next mammo on healthy breast, then the next one and the next. BC has forever taken my peace of mind BUT I am enjoying each day now more than ever.
Kate - Such relief to be finally believed by a doctor about thyroid! So happy for you and that you are feeling better already! I laughed about your DH - we have the same issue with our bathroom - would love to have you two fly up here for the weekend, my husband is still busy seeding day and night, but you and I could visit, and your DH could have at our tile!!
Hopeful - will be thinking of you on the 15th and hope it goes really well! it's another step in the right direction
Here's where I'm at girls... It's been one week since MX and I am still feeling really good about the whole surgery, emotionally I am in a good place. But some physical things are bothering me a little. Still at 60ml a day into the JP drain but love that this is fluid that is going AWAY from my swelling! Still having to take pain meds, dilaudid 2mg every 6 hours, mind you the only pain is from the swelling which only bothers me if I am upright most of the day... if I take a day of lying down (hard to do) or after sleeping all night - the swelling is not troubling at all. My mobility is so much better than what I had after the lumpectomy, I can get up and down in bed no problem, take showers, and can even sleep on my unaffected side. BUT if I dont lie horizontal for at least half of the day, my evening is ruined with burning pain under the incision site and then cant get comfortable in bed.
I am supposed to go to Saskatoon on Monday to see BS for drain removal but will probably have to re-schedule that one because I can't see how my fluid will go down to 30ml a day by then. Also have to ask her about nodes... There was no node removal planned because this is DCIS right? BS confirmed that for me again before surgery, but she did say if she happened to see something she didn't like she would probably take some nodes.
The initial pain after surgery was so much more than my lumpectomy that I asked 2 different nurses if nodes were taken and was told they weren't. However I have numbness and swelling in my armpit, and in the back of my arm, so I think she must have done some exploring. I sure hope the numbness goes away and I want to ask her if it's possible to get LE even though nodes weren't taken. Somewhere in a post I read, even when no nodes are planned to be taken, when the BS is removing the "tail section" of the breast, some nodes can be ultimately removed with the breast tissue, and apparenty that is why some women see node information on their pathology reports when they weren't supposed to have nodes removed. I have no idea if this is true, it sounds sensible though, and I guess if more information comes from unintentionally taking these nodes, well that's a good thing.
Thinking of you all!

Donna so glad it is over and you seem to be in a very good place. That is wonderful. But don't be hard on yourself if you have a hard or sad day. That is normal. Glad you are so mobile too!! I am sure they explored in your axilla and that is why the numbness etc. Mine did eventually go away. Can't really remember how long it took.
0 -
I agree, Donna you sound like you are doing quite well. I mean it hasn't even been that long! I don't know a thing about "tail section" and nodes and such but usually if they do a MX they will at least take the sentinel node and if that is negative they don't do anymore. The reason they take that node is just to make sure they are all clear - if they don't do it before MX then they cannot find the sentinal node. It all made sense when I first heard it but that was over 2 years ago so? I wouldn't think the doc. would explore around in your arm pit though.
That is the way I thought of the drains. just being something that is takeing all the bad stuff out. I did have one get clogged early on and that became very painful so was happy to see all that fluid leaving. Glad you can take a shower and lie down comfortabley. I too remember after a lumpectomy it being harder to get up and down...
Hopeful - I'm so sorry I left you out of my post
I was thinking of you, I promise. Kate- LOL on the shower! I'm so glad you are putting those LE gloves to some good use ie- not cleaning the shower! Sounds like it will certainly be clean - might not be able to breathe in there but clean!
Had my son pressure wash out by the pool today. What a huge deal and I mean basically just figureing out how to turn it on! I swear I miss having a man around just cause mechanical things really just mean nothing to me. I couldn't figure anything out... the hoses, where to attach the hose, how to unhook the nozzles and then we both were totally mystified when we had it all going but no water came out. Well turns out the little nozzle was clogged so brilliant me takes it inside and gets a toothpick to push through. yep you guessed it toothpick broke off inside! finally found a paper clip and after getting it stuck my son got it all lose so on we went - after I had to go buy more gas of course. Took probably an hour and a half just to start. Oh and we broke the bicycle pump trying to pump up the tires on the crazy thing. I HATE mechanical things.... Getting lonley as well and with the kids going off... ugh..

Our neighbors are doing a pop-in so only have a second but wanted to say-
Donna- The numbness is totally normal and has to do with the MX. I think they cut a lot of small nerves. I had numbness all across my shoulders and on the backside of my arms. This will usually go away with time but seems like it took forever. Also, don't overdo because it will cause the drains to go on overload. I know it's hard with your home/work life but you really need to rest and try not to do anything that involves putting your arms above your shoulders or lifting anything too heavy. (Again, I so learned this the hard way!)

Just checking in from the hospital. They say my surgery is a work of art. Ok I'll take that. Plan was to go home today-ish. Haven't been weaned from
Morphine yet, or made it outside my room. Have gotten the peeing down--none of that illustrious bm yet. So I will be back on when I get to the other side. Thanks for all your thoughts.0 -
cmbear great news about the outcome of surgery
stanzie I too hate mechanical things. It is hard not to have someone do it. But look what you ended up being able to do!!!!!!!! I know not fun but wow you got it figured out. I hope you can meet someone if only to have companionship.
CT scan on Sunday to see what is going on in my trunk area.
It is always something isn't it. Oh well today is a glorious day and I am looking forward to a quiet weekend of getting some stuff done. Today I will choose to live with determination, joy and intent.
I disected cadavers in nursing school and one of my areas was the underarm or axilla. There are a TON of nerves there!
0 -
Hopeful - yipes a CT scan on Sunday... I didn't know they did scans on Sunday unless you were already in a hospital. Are you? Are you doing OK? Oh wait said you were getting things done.
0 -
Stanzie- I'm definitely mechanically challenged, too. When my DH was flying that was when things would always break down. Poor guy would come home each week with a to-do list a mile long. The good thing is he's teaching my DS to fix things now. Tell your ex that's his job so your boys can start fixing everything. lol!
Claire- Hope you were able to go home. There's nothing like sleeping in your own bed and not being woken up by the nurses every 3 hours. Hope you're doing o.k. and that you're happy with your "work of art"!
I was thinking the same as Stanzie- a CT scan on a Sunday? Hope it all turns out o.k.
Speaking of Sunday, my DH has been jumping through hoops to get his disability approved through social security. So now they tell him he has to have a physical with one of their doctors and they've scheduled him for 2:00 p.m. on a SUNDAY on FATHER'S DAY! We tried to reschedule and they told him he couldn't and if he doesn't show up his claim will be denied. Unbelievable! Stupid f'n government bureaucrats. Just glad we didn't have non-refundable airline tickets to see his Dad or something.

Hey ladies..my stupid internet has been on and off working its driving me nuts. Im on my phone now but its hard to type a lot so I will do my best
Donna i had one of my drains in for two weeks..and the other for 3 week. I was happy to keep them in as long as necessary to not get fluid back up. Also i slept with a ton of pillows all around me. It was the only way i could sleep. Definitely keep those arms moving but not above shoulders. Rest when you need and be gentle to yourself.
Kate funny story..men crack me up...sometimes. glad you finally are getting some relief from your thyroid issues. Yeah!
Claire so glad you're through your surgery ..happy healing! Hope your recovery is going well.
Stanzie..what an idiot doctor?!! I am sorry youre feeling a little lonely...you should take this quiet time to do something nice for yourself...relax..massage...spa day???.
I am good with a power washer as i am used to having to do thing by myself. I am sure i entertain the neighborhood but i get the job done.
Hopeful..hoping your scan goes ok.
Ok i cant type anymore...off to bed..oh i baked 20 dozen cupcakes for my nephews hs graduation party tomorrow.
Good night lovelies!!!
Diane0 -
20 dozen????? Diane- I don't begin to know how you could even stand up for that long let alone do something productive! Actually thinking about it I don't even understand having that much flour or space in the fridge or that many cupcake pans - LOL! How on earth do you do such a thing? Still dying to see pictures of these cupcakes as I imagine they are truely something to see.
Have I missed the posts or has Barb not been around again?
Kate- I know you must be awfully frustrated by all the Govenment junk! Hope the Dr. office can straighten it out! Glad thyroid meds are working. I had a Dr. tell me that most "normal" ranges were still off for most women and that they needed to be lower in order for us to actual feel "normal". For me also with MS he said keeping my thyroid lower will help with fatigue. So I too was in the normal range but function much better a bit lower. Hope it works for you as well.

Stanzie I was baking for two days! I bake the minis and they are the only thing in my fridge. I will try to post picture later. My comcast still out!!!! Ugh.
Hope you all are having the same gorgeous weather we're having here.
Diane0 -
Diane- Maybe it's a good thing we don't live near each other. I'd be showing up every day for cupcakes!
I'd start to look like an oompa-loompa! Maybe you should give up the accounting thing and open your own bakery. Or, better yet, move here and start your own bakery!Stanzie- Since the thyroid stuff I've been doing a lot of research and talking to a lot of people. It's amazing the number of women on thyroid meds. Some research says that even though the "normal" range is below 5 they think optimally women should be about a 2. (Mine was over 4.) It seems like a lot of women become hypothyroid as they age and go into menopause and that possibly some menopause symptoms can actually be attributed to low thyroid. Depression is also linked to low thyroid. I have to wonder if a lot of the things I've been suffering from for years could have been resolved if someone had been willing to try this years ago. I don't know why more doctors aren't willing to try this.
