Granny... When we finally get to meet, I will spot you first!!! Don't be afraid if I run up to you! You will recognize me... by my Brooklyn accent! PM me where and when the gals are meeting...
Good and not so good news today. Polyp, as usual, was benign. But now I have a cyst on my Fallopian tube that will require... SURPRISE.... Surgery! Ha! Actually, VR is NOT surprised...VR told the doctor earlier this week that she wants off of this merry-go-round! There just aren't enough days in the week to follow through with all of these medical appointments. He agreed. His wife is also a cancer survivor and they are on the merry-go-round too. I appreciate his candor and I think it is bittersweet that his wife is also a survivor. I think the experience has made him an even better physician...
VR is looking forward to a quiet weekend. Into the fire goes the tumult! Now VR can relax...and read!0 -

Veggy, sending positive thoughts and hugs for you and your test. Hope the cricket stays quiet and you remember nothing but a good snooze....
VR, there are no words,really for what you are going through....enjoy the week end and don't look too far ahead.
What in the world did they do to me during my endoscopy and colonoscopy? I have a huge swollen lip, maybe infected, and a major purple bruise getting bigger on my arm. Did they throw me around like a slab of meat? I have to wear long sleeves.
Nite all --oops, almost morning.J

They could not do the MRI. After I filled out the paperwork, I asked them what I thought to be a stupid question. It wasn't stupid after all. My tissue expanders have metal rings on them and I wante to know if that would complicate the test. They called out the tech and she said that I couldn't have it done. There are no stupid questions.

Veggy, what a bummer! Life is complicated enough.... geez... and yes, there are no stupid questions, just stupid responses sometimes! Sure glad the tech checked BEFORE they put you in the scanner - your TEs might have been dislocated!

Rant away Granny Duke, we love you anyway.
Into the fire, mine is trivial today, but the ones who advertise garage sales and signs are on corners but they simpy pull the sign in front yard and close the door, after you run drive ten miles one way to get there then all over to find it.

Veggy, there's a reason for everything, but sometimes we just have no idea what the heck it is...I am glad you asked.
Granny, am guessing you will sleep better now that you got that out....somewhere some kid in college is working on what switches the BC gene on and off. And someday our daughters and friends and family won't ever have to go through this.Linda, thanks for the flowers....
Mad, love your photo!
Gotta sleep tonight....real work starts Monday (up before 6 AM).

Essa... Those pink pens make me wild! My radiologist's office gives you one each time you sign in and fill out those nasty papers that keep reminding you that you are a breast cancer patient. When I finish filling out the papers and give them back the papers and the pen, they politely tell me, "Oh, you can keep the pen.". As I politely give the papers and pen back, what I REALLY want to say is "Take back this pen and the breast cancer diagnosis too, please!". VR is always polite. Sometimes too polite.

VR, can I make a slight suggestion? Take a GREEN ink pen with you to your appointments, and INSIST upon signing all things in green. I know that is not acceptable for some legal documents (many now require blue ink as it is too easy to make copies with black ink looking like the "original") - but having been a "green-ink enthusiast" since high school days, I just feel like it makes a statement. Or use red or purple or any other color. The little Pilot gel pens (Pilot G-2) have a roller ball that signs through carbon copies and they are really bright!

On the pen thingy--take your own pen too many bugs(bacteria) on shared pens. In ER when we had to give patients pens to sign discharge papers, I seriptisciouly(sic) dropped them in the wastebasket. I'm sure the bosses wouldn't like that,but didn't care. On the nursing unit same thing or wiped mine with the disinfectant. Felix Unger was my hero. For two reasons. The first, was he made OCD seem normal. The second was his initials.

Thanks a lot Sas----now we have to worry about the pens too.damn im getting like FU..never was like that before.My friend told me yesterday to keep the lid on the toilet seat always down...holds in the bacteria.what next???are you kidding me?????wasing my hands 15x a day became the normal...
Grannydukes is not likin all of this.afraid to do this,afraid to do that....WTF.back in the day who thought of these things.All we had to do was wash our hands before meals...

Granny I hear ya....I get worse each year. I am not OC at home...but everywhere else I am overly vigilant....when I was at a test site the other day, I wondered about all the "stuff" they used on me and what had just come off some other patient. (blood pressure cuff, thumb O2 sensor, pillow....) and I cringe when my hair dresser pulls a brush out of the drawer...eeks I should bring my own...same at the nail salon....I never used to be this way. At work, if students are sick, I refuse to touch their papers and make them drop it in a basket where it stays for at least 24 hours. I love when they come up to my desk and whisper in my face "I was throwing up all night"...to which I reply 'Please Go Home'....and if a student leaves a pen or pencil behind, we usually throw it away.I like the idea of bringing my own pen to paper-signings.Into the fire with pink stuff other people's stuff. Especially pink stuff.0

Granny sweetheart you don't even know what else has been tested. The biggest laugh was the national meeting for infectious disease nurses. the study was :statistics related to how many washed their hands before they left the bathroom. You don't want an answer.
0 -
Okay the worst ever published study was : how many seconds does it take to remove the sthethoscope from around your neck and put it in your ears versus have ear prongs around your neck and move them to your ears. Sure hope no public or private funds were used for that one. It's like studing why does a gnat land on a elephants ass. WHO CARES?.

Good afternoon ladies hope everyone found something to smile about today
Throwing into the fire the gyn i went to today. Why oh why do we have to be the ones to educate our drs? Shouldnt you know this shit already you're the damn doctor! Was a referral from my MO and not only did he obviously not havr even a basic history, i had to explain to him how they test her2 status and then what my results meant in terms of my treatment. Was pretty sure going in i wasn't having the ooph done, he just helped me make that decision easier. Right now i'm done i dont want any more anything. And my first pamidronate infusion is tomorrow. Crap.0 -
When I was working I used to clean all the door handles with alcohol wipes.way before bc...why...cause if i got a cold i got married to the damn thing...that was my biggy but now thank you very much sas i can really become nuts over this.
last week i went shopping for food with a friend of mine.she wanted watermellon.btw she is a 29 yr.cancer survivor.anyway she lives alone and bout an entire watermellon...i asked her why......READY!!!!her concern was the KNIFE....where was it last?how was it cleaned? Is this gonna be the new normal.
into the fire goes everything we worry about....bc sure does suk!!!!

ridergirl, so sorry to hear about your uninformed gyn.
It sux that you have to start another drug cycle....I hope SEs are minimal. Are you on a long term cycle for the pamidronate?
I hope the day will come when BC can be prevented or treated without chemo related drugs. These drugs NEED to go into the fire...
Let's toss stupid doctors who don't communicate and are uninformed.Granny, am with you...BC just sux.
