    Hello,

    I'm a newbie to this thread-- in 10 days, I'll be through with my rads. Yes, I'll still have months and months of Herceptin but finally after a really long year, I'm starting to feel like myself again. Which brings me to why I'm here. I have IBC, was found to be allergic to Taxotere (after my sodium level tanked and I I was in the ICU), had surgical issues, and finally an uneventful (almost finished) series of rads. In other words IBC has consumed my life for a year and I don't known how to start adjusting to my new normal.

    I'd appreciate any advice. I feel somewhat lost -- sort the reverse sense of loss I felt when first DXed.

    Thanks,

    bride

    Ducky! Glad to see you! We knew you were with your pilot!

    Bride, Welcome to the group. I don't have any advice for you because I'm working my way through chemo land. Next will be rads... Today I'm so tired I can't even get out of bed. Hopefully one of the other beautiful, smart and sexy ladies here will be able to advise you!

    Ducky!! So great to see you!!!

    Kathe, "even the blanket is unhappy" hahahahahahaha...that's too funny.

    bride, Welcome to this thread. Jo is our Queen and she's been kind enough to let me stick around. You will love these ladies - they are all awesome.

    Congratulations on almost being finished with rads. I'm typically not an emotional person, but at the end of rads I was a basket case. I was about ready to ship myself to the looney bin. With some suggestions from some very helpful women on these boards, I started to feel better. If you get to that point, please feel free to send me a PM, and I will give you the name of a couple of books that really helped me. From what I understand, it's perfectly normal to feel a bit funky at the end of radiation.

    Thinking of you Poppy and cheering you on to the end of chemo.

    Welcome Bride - Sorry you have to be a part of this group but glad you are here.  I escaped chemo and can't imagine how bad it was.  Rads on the other hand is something I do know.  How to adjust to your new normal?  Take it one day at a time because that is what it is going to take.  Ask all the questions you have and throw anything you want into the bonfire.  The bonfire is magical and makes you feel so much better.  Give it a try.  You can throw in all the medical bills, the treatments, any person who was not kind to you, anything.  We are all here to support you.

    Ducky - It is about damn time you showed up.  I know, you just wanted your picture on a milk carton.  LOL!

    On Friday to celebrate Halloween, I'm throwing my onco on the bonfire after today's visit! Getting tired of her changing her story about my situation every time I ask questions! It just feels like she wants me to shut up and do as she thinks is best without regard to how I feel or my concerns!

    Hubby's considering taking the day off the next time I go in Dec. for a check-up. I get to see the Practical Nurse who is much better at answering my questions than my onco. At least the Practical Nurse listens to me and answers any questions I have.

    So good to see her Ducky. She is getting so big. Such a beautiful little girl.

    I know when Kracker's birthday is too. Blondie's not the ONLY one with super powers. Winking

    The sad thing is I want to be happy, but my heart breaks each time I see this....i know it is an improvement, but it makes me think "forever".......She deserved better........I can't forgive, and I know that is wrong........I could be put in jail for the things I have thought should happen to the Dr. who caused this...........but she is happy and that is what matters.........
