Holy cow, this fire is HOT, HOT, HOT!!!
Just wanted to share that I used that cute spunky kitty pic at the top of this thread as my facebook profile pic. It's so out of character for me to have attitude - usually I'm the sweet, kind person in everyone's mind - but I'm lettin' my fierce side out lately, and I don't care what the world thinks!
Burn baby burn!

Yep...This fire is sooooo hot...it explains why we broke weather temps for our area yesterday...and it if we keep stoking those flames...we're going to be breaking more records all over the east coast today!!!
SAS... I am so used to this crap with my body that yesterday I said to my gyno, "The only time that my body is going to STOP making stuff that it ought not to be making...IS WHEN I'M DEAD." I've done my research already on what body parts I'd like to keep...but I'm still on the fence as to which ones I need to throw on the fire...After my next D&C on Wednesday, I'll have a tete a tete with all my doctors and then decide....

Dancetrancer...Attitude? We LOVE attitude... That's what helps us get through this maze...Believe me, we're NOT at a carnival or prom where all the women dress up and and act like "ladies." No sirrreee....We are in the TRENCHES and this is WARFARE. Attitude is going to help us win the WAR!
I hear ya, Dancetrancer, I'm also sick and tired of breast cancer treatment and having to "be nice" all.the.time. Sooo...into the fire today goes, "Being nice."

Wow! This fire sure is blazing hot - feels so good. It is cold here today. Temp dropped 11 degrees and we have a strong north wind. Think I'll stay for a few more minures.

VR - love it! Of course, we can't dress up and act like ladies when we spend so much time in hospital gowns
When wearing so little else, what's left BUT attitude? Today I'm throwing in my BF's mother, who has long overstayed her welcome. No wait, I don't want to throw *her* in, just her total obliviousness, her self-centeredness. That should keep the flames a'blazing for a while!

Made my own hospital gowns, refuse to wear those flimsy, ridiculously scanty ones they supply! I have nice cotton ones for summer, and warm fuzzy fleece ones for winter. Long (just below the knee) for scans and post surgery. Short ones for doctors office visits. Matching hats for the times my head is bald (or bad hair days). Bought matching sock booties, I just want to be stylin' with the pasty, no hair, death warmed over look!
And I was the most happy and positive person on earth when BC decided to invade my life.0 -
thanks geewhiz...granny....I have been trying really hard to do my job (new old...certainly more focused) and ignore the inner workings of the place...but was drawn into something and then lied to...I know the pattern there...I unferstand that they do not know what to do with me. I am also doing my job and doing it well so they really have no cause to complain...just pissed me off that now that I do not have the safety umbrella of running the department that I would get rained on...I know better...can't let it get to me.
voracious..let 'er burn~

Throwing in the PET technologist, who after asking all of the questions and getting all of the answers ( bilateral mx, recon,menopause,etc) then asks if I might be pregnant. Umm no, MENOPAUSE! And then asks if I am breast feeding. Once again ,umm,no, BILATERAL MASTECTOMY ! This guy just didn't get it.

Hey, Beccad, don't throw him in - he's good for a few laughs!
"Granny, are you pregnant?"
"Since you're here for your post-BMX scan, I need to know if you're breastfeeding." "I send the kid to the pathology lab for a feed every 4 hours."

Beccad... It's obvious that the moron was INSTRUCTED to ask those questions. But he should have also been INSTRUCTED to also say, " I know some of these questions are UNNECESSARY to ask, however, for such and such reason, I need to ask these questions.". Either he had AWFUL training... Or he needs to find another job. Another thought... Don't they give their bosses feedback about how stupid and awkward they feel and how insulting they are to expect a RATIONAL answer???!!!
In addition to the PET technician going into the fire... So is his boss and the lawyers and bean counters who design those questions!0 -
Now Leah---I told you not to tell anyone that I am pregnant!!!!
sooo much goin on I missed a few days but im lighting another fire a ways down..when this one comes to life there will be an explosion...Im puttin in for the ver last time the bastard dr.that made me have 3 lump. instead of doing it all in 1.Rot in hell Dr.B.
Sandy---at the end of the fire I left an umbrella for you.I sure hope it helps with the job.

Hello all I just found this thread. I recently threw out my books and phamplets from the hospital that talked about bc from the beginning. What to expect with chemo, surgery, blah blah. I also am tossing into the virtual bonfire the following:
my long compression socks from the hospital that you wear in surgery
radiation cream
Hosptial bra
That's it for now. I have a surgery coming up in 3 weeks so I am sure there will be more to toss.
Thanks!!

Throwing in the rads tech who got frustrated with me today b/c I couldn't get the breathing technique right. Then she tried to move the box up on my abdomen just so the machine would sense it, and we could get my treatment done quickly. Yeah, that's f*cking accurate.

Tossing in the kid who asked me if I was 55 today (I don't care if she was asked to ask everyone her mom's age and older...at least let me turn 50 for goodness sake...)...was asked that last month at the same pharmacy...clearly for my self-esteem, I can't go in to the pharmacy on the last monday of the month!...made me feel like I am looking ired and worn, you know? until cancer, I was always guessed younger....discouraging...

Sandee.....................I had a friend I worked with before I retired who came in one day and was all bent out of shape................she said she had gone to K-mart, and was checking out, and the cashier said to her "that's $19.99 before your discount"...................she said "oh I didn't know that was on sale"........................the cashier said "oh it isn't, but with your "senior 15% off, that is what it was"..........."now its 15% less"...................my friend at the time was 45, and the discount age was 55......................but worse yet, when I first began to work at the company, I met all the girls in the unit I was going to be working in.
At the time one girl was 40, and so was this girl who I just referred to...............when we were discussing age.......I said how old I was...........a very young looking woman said "I'm 40", The woman who had the K-mart episode said, at the time "I'm 40 also....................well not thinking I said to the first girl..............."OMG I would have never guessed you were 40, I thought you were around 30.................the other one said "well how about me"........................never thinking, I said "well you look your age, but she doesn't"
Isn't it amazing, that we became friends, especially after a comment like that.........oh well.............open mouth insert foot.........but I'm good a that...........

Oy! That uterine polyp should be roasting in the fire by now! Hopefully the gyno got the whole thing out this time! Would love to throw this bangeroo headache that I got today from the anesthesia into the fire too! VR is not feeling well now. Stomach is also doing flip flops.
Gyno also said today from his point of view, that is, sitting in front of my open crotch, he'd like to see me off of Tamoxifen. Hmmmm.. Funny how my internist who knows my family risk for heart disease, has a much different point of view.
So today, into the bonfire goes my polyp, my headache, my nausea.... I will save deciding what to do about endocrine therapy for another day...0 -
VR, somehow I missed the fact that you had surgery (fire must have blinded me, that's my excuse for not paying attention!). So sorry! Awe, hope you feel better soon dear! <hugs>

I want to throw something on tonight... just can't quite define what it is. Up & Down mood swings - yeh, maybe that's what it is. I HATE having my mood hit rock bottom every afternoon after I have been at work all day, used up all my energy, and first thing I do when I see DH is whine & complain instead of hugging him and showing him how much I love him.
0 -
Linda... When you feel like that... Could you take a walk? Or even better, invite your DH for a walk. Even a short walk??? Whenever I feel tired or moody. . I take a walk.. Even if I walked already for the day. Sometimes I walk at the mall, which thankfully is minutes from our home. I love walking in the mall... Sometimes I see the same very, very old couples walking very slowly together, makes the DH and me smile!
Hope you feel better soon!0 -
VR, thanks! Walking is good, seems like I always have an excuse not to - weather is bad, got home late/am pooped, etc etc etc. We have a 45 minute commute so I end up yapping or napping on the trip, and then we have chores, feed cat, etc etc etc..... so tomorrow is March 1 and a good day to start fresh! And DH would just LOVE it if I asked him to walk with me.
So maybe I need to toss in INERTIA and EXCUSES!!!!
