LOL....would it helpto say I took picture of the part I had cleaned and straightened out...............................
Lucy.....you renamed Beppy to Peepy.......peeing my pants........
Tang......I can understand how you feel..........I am 4 years out of the original trama, and I can cry at the drop of a hate........it doesn't take much....even a Hallmark commercial can do it.....or just sitting and thinking a little too much.......living alone doesn't help either......I said to my friend the other day on the phone..........having someone to tak to makes all the difference in the world............its like watching a hysterical movie............by yourself you might crack a smile (if that), but if your sitting watching with someone your in hysterical laughter at the smallest sceen..........
I have an appt with the CArdio today....I have to have an Echocardiogram done (routine)......
By the way for the last 2 nights I have not taken the Arimidex......I really don't think I can handle it anymore...I am shocked how quickly the SE's kicked in with this one.....at least the Femara gave me 3 good months in the beginning.....I am afraid to stop again and the fear of bone mets or anywhere else scares the hell out of me, but this is brutal......I can't do anything....my knee that was bad is much worse....the knee that was ok hurts........and last night my thumbs and fingers were so sore with shooting pains.......and of course there is the back.....yes, I had 2 broken vertebrae, yes I have spinal stenosis, yes I have arthritis, but damn it......I have had that before the friggin "devil pills"........
I will be 80 in 3 days.......some would say "be glad, many don't get to be 80......and that is true...my husband was 57......I was one of the lucky ones.......but this is awful.............I have been told...."you need to walk", "you need to get a hobby"....."you need to lose weight" (like I don't have mirrors in my house)......but when you feel like "shit", you don't care.................Ok, I'm done...............been up since 5am.......its 6:30, and already I'm bitching............aren't you glad I posted this.........LOL

Aw Shucks Peeps. Thanks for all the birthday wishes and pics. Had a quiet day. Waiting till the weekend to go out for a birthday dinner. Had to work today and was too tired to go out when I got home. Only 7 more working days and I retire for good.
Sorry I haven't been here lately. Just needed a break. I am spending much more time on Facebook these days. If we aren't already facebook friends and you want to be, send me a PM and I will tell you how you can find me.
Hugs to everyone!!!!

Good morning Kracker. I hope the carpeting went well for you and it's not making you sick.
If I'm not mistaken, I think today is Mommy's surgery. Hopefully I got the day right. If so, we are in your pocket today Mommy!! Sending good thoughts to you!!
Jo, good to see you. I hope your day was wonderful!!
Tang, I just love good news!! Thanks for letting us know. You've been in my thoughts since you told us you were waiting on test results. Doing the happy dance for you!!
Tomboy, you are welcome to my home anytime!! Just give me a days notice so I can clean! hahaha
Poppy, I haven't cleaned too much since my diagnosis. I'm just now starting to get back into doing my chores. If I still had kids at home, my house would never look clean!! We are empty nesters with NO grandchildren, so when we clean, it stays that way for a long time. That wasn't the case when we had children running through the house. I really miss those days.
I am with you on the body jiggle!! I lost 15 pounds of the 60 I gained, and now I'm at a standstill. EVERYTHING jiggles!!
Ducky, how did your appointment go with the cardio doc??
Lucy Loo Loo, I can't wait to see your photos!!!
I think if you don't want to take that darn pill, you shouldn't have to. Also, at 80 years old, no one should be telling you to do ANYTHING!! I should be so lucky to live to be 80. Heck, I'll be thrilled to live until I'm 60!!!Love to all!!

When we watched my nieces boys we had our downstairs closet filled with toys. We also had a kids desk in our family room and gave them their own drawer in the kitchen. The oldest used to spend the night often, so he had his cup and toothbrush in our downstairs bathroom. When they moved, we told them to take what they wanted. The older boy wanted his toothbrush and special cup. When I talk to the older boy on hangout (like skype but you can walk while you talk), he always asks to see his toys and his desk. He wanted to know why we moved the desk in the closet and the toys in the garage. lol....He seemed really irritated that I moved his stuff.

Great to hear from you Mommy! I hope things continue to go well. Surgeries and dr appts are big deals, even though we have them routinely!

Hi ladies, I'm still new here, but I need to vent or freak out or whatever.
So, I got the all clear on my mri and bone scan and that was wonderful! I decided right then that I was going to work hard at putting the cancer thoughts toward the back of mind and keep things in perspective as best as possible.
On Monday I went in for an U/S to see how my lady parts are doing and wouldn't you know the results came back that I have minimal thickening on my endo lining. When I say minimal, I mean minimal....normal is 5 and I'm 5.1
So, the NP tells me they want me to come in and have a biopsy and then discuss hysterectomy options with the surgeon. I'm like whoa...whoa...whoa. When I first went in a few months ago the gyno was pushing me for the hysterectomy, told me with my history of BC and the Tamoxifen I'd be better having it done. Now they are pushing again and my gut says this is too much. I discussed this with MO and she said hysterectomy was not standard of care.
I swear I don't want go thru all this cancer shit anymore. I'm SICK of it!!! I want to stick my head in the sand....its warm and safe there.
Does anyone have experience with this? 5.1 just seems soooo minimal and I honestly feel like this gyno just wants to make some money off of me.
thanks for listening.

tang. Ugh... So sorry you are going through this now.. I don't have any knowledge to share with you., but want to send you gentle hugs.. I'm sure some of the wonderful ladies here will be a long to help you soon.

tang - so sorry you have to go through this emotional ringer. Have you thought of getting a second opinion from another gyno?
0 -
Tang - I don't want to be a Debbie Downer but I would like to share something with you. I have been on Tamoxifen for 4 1/2 years now. Six months after I started Tammy I had a U/S done and had thickening of the uterus -had a biopsy and D&C done. Fast forward one year, another U/S and another biopsy, D&C and a 3cm polyp removed. Fast forward one more year, had post menopausal bleeding. MO had me stop Tammy until I had a hysterectomy. I've always said my situation is NOT typical. From what you have said, I'm not sure I would jump in to having a hysterectomy at this point. I don't know if you are pre or post meno. What I would do is have another U/S in a year and then make a decision based on what the test results are.
So sorry you are having to deal with all this. I do agree with mjh1 - a second opinion may be in order.
0 -
Second opinion.........................Now......I would not wait a full year if you have thickening..........get a 2nd opinion, and then go from there......I just would so it right away......but that is upto you..
I would do whatever I could to find out what is going on.............and if in the end you need a hysterectomy, do it..........today they are done usually through the vagina........and there are no incisions..now if they take the ovaries and tubes that could be a different story.......but I don't think that surgery is as brutal as it was years ago.
Good luck........
