Those flowers are lovely Lisa, I'm glad you had your camera with you as well.....lol.
I started off with Arimadex but I had progression on it after only fifteen months so that one is no good, it's been scratched from the list of treatments. Hopefully this little break will help and allow me a lot longer on it.
Love n hugs. Chrissy

hey all, I am home again. Had my uterine biopsy yesterday. Will have the ultra sound next week. I also saw my radiologist today and have been set free from her since she is cutting back her hours and I still will see my BS and MO. My bone density came back even worse with a very steady downhill slide. My PCP wants to start me on fosamax oral weekly. I am unsure about it. Am getting in touch with my MO to see what she thinks. Is there any experience any one would like to share with me here?
Lisa I want to go grocery shopping with you!!! Beautiful scenery. What kind of tree is that purple one?
chrissy, I hope the break is the trick! Good going on the fundraiser!
So my DD managed to lose the digital camera that I had bought especially for our trip. She left it in a bathroom for about 5 minutes and it was gone. She had a major meltdown! Do these "kids" ever grow up? So we lost some pictures but I had uploaded some to my phone and then just used my phone for the rest of the trip.

Welcome back The tree is a jacaranda Lovely to look at but dirty to own.
I lost my bone density on arimidex. I have used Fosamax for about a year then finished my 5 years on the arimidex, so I stopped. I keep my blood level of vitamin D3 level at 50 now. Seems to be holding.
Good luck with the biopsy!

anybody around? I got a call from doc office tonight while I was out with the dog. They want me to call tomorrow to discuss my path report. My brain is running away with me!!!!!!

Oh, Mac, I hope everything is OK! Just tell yourself that if they want to discuss it on the phone (and the message wasn't "come in") it's probably not so bad.

Well crap, Nancy. The least they could do would be to qualify the message, like say it's nothing to worry about or some such. I'm hoping everything's fine and they just want to explain something. Let us know soon!

Lisa, those are beautiful flowers!
Nancy, keeping my fingers crossed that it's just a call to tell you all is well. Please don't let your mind take you to a dark place, try to wait and see what the news is.
Keeping you in my thoughts.
Love n hugs. Chrissy

thanks everyone, all good comments. And reassuring.
I hope they have some ideas about how to get me outta pain. I already have an appt with my PCP in the afternoon. It was the GYN office that called so I'll call first thing and let y'all know.
I've managed to distract myself by misplacing my cell phone, which had me searching for quite a while. Finally found it under the couch cushion. Then I couldn't find the dog. Ha ha, I had accidentally left her in the basement. So look now its time to go to bed.

Mac, Sweet dreams. I agree it's probably not serious or they would have asked you to come in.

Awe Nancy, you certainly are distracted........glad you found both your phone and the dog....lol. Sleep well.
Love n hugs. Chrissy

So just got off the phone with nurse from GYN office. They want me to do a camera scan (can't remember the word she used) on my endometrial stripe. The path was inconclusive, but my stripe is larger than normal. Who knew I had a stripe. Except now I can feel it.
So I have a pre op appt on June 9th, since my doc is away for 2 weeks. oh yay! I asked how I might be able to make myself feel better, she suggested a hot bath. ha ha, doesn't that cure everything?
Maybe I'll ask about a break from my tamoxifen. How is your breaking working, Chrissy?

Just popping in to say hi to everyone. Hugs Nancy.
Now planning our trip this year. We are just going to North America probably in October so we can see the Fall. Nancy hope to visit your part of the world. Going at that time will allow us to be in Oakville for DGD's birthday and to experience Halloween.
Big hugs to all.

The camera scan is called a hysteroscopy. I had it done years ago. They put me out, I woke up, no pain afterwards.
Don't worry about not knowing the name. When I went in for my preop before my mx the intern doing the med history asked about previous surgeries/procedures. He also didn't know what a hysteroscopy was so he wrote in my file "hysterectomy". Well, I must be Miracle Woman since I had 2 more kids after that. And when my med history was printed out recently it said "Total Hysterectomy 1991" an then "Salpingo-oopherectomy 2010". A total hysterectomy includes tubes and ovaries so I gues it took 19 years for them to grow back.

ha ha, Leah A real miracle woman having kids after that. I hope that intern is a bit more with it by now. Sometimes we have to teach them so much.
thanks for the info. The office is sending me some material on the procedure so I'll be brushing up on my medical acumen.
Alyson, it is beautiful here in this area during the fall. Maybe we'll get a chance to meet?

Nancy, I've been off the Femara for a week with one more to go. A small difference in the melting moments but not enough to crow about but I'm still hopeful.........lol.
I've had a couple of those procedures over the years and other than some wind pain after I would never have known anything was done. Sure hope you can get some pain relief happening in the interim.
Love n hugs. Chrissy

chrissy, hope the improvement continues. I'm going to try to get in touch with my MO today.
ha ha I was wondering why I felt so "weird" this morning. I "forgot" to have a cup of coffee. Think I'll start my day over.
0 -
Lol Nancy.......how on earth did you forget to have your coffee??!!
0 -
Forgetting coffee is a real sign you need coffee. I won't let DH drive until he's had 2 cups.
0 -
i won't let hubby drive if he's had 2 cups of coffee - plus he chatters non-stop....
0 -
Hi Mostlymom, I usually prefer a cup of tea first thing but if I am driving long distance a cup of coffee is a must!.....lol
Winter has surely set in now and I am lighting the fire on a daily basis. Not much rain yet so the air is really cold which is playing havoc with my asthma, so much so that my doc has put me on Seratide as a preventative........gosh I hate that stuff!! It leaves my mouth so sore even after rinsing well. I've got to have my left thigh Xrayed as I have been having a fare bit of bone pain mid thigh so we are looking to see if there has been a progression ...........I promise to let you know when I have had it done and got the results.
Dinner time! We are having baked potato with cole slaw and sour cream with a nice piece of steak.......I think I'm hungry!!!
Have a good one all!
Love n hugs. Chrissy

Lol Mostlymom, that's a hoot!!! Sure sounds like the coffee got you going! It never affects me like that, it just makes me more alert for awhile

love coffee oclock.
So remember how my cousin from HI was gonna come "visit" last year. Well, she is getting here this Friday. A whole year later she called and asked if she could come visit for a bit. ha ha She sounds much more sane this year. Only calling once or twice and not sounding so manic. So I am actually looking forward to her visit. I sure need a distraction.
I just hired a "green shuttle" to bring her down to the boat from the Boston airport. I was going to pick her up, but I am still not feeling great. And I did manage to turn a little too close to a stone wall 2 weeks ago, and dented in the passenger door on my new car.
So it might not be a good idea for me to drive in city traffic right now (with or without coffee). lol "green" means they pick her up in a Prius. It took a lot of pressure off to make that decision. I am trying to keep my life simple. Still waiting for a call back from MO. But the office person and I decided that I don't need to freak out now. Later maybe, but not now.

I have been on vacation for only a week now, but it seems so much longer. Be home tomorrow night I think. Today in Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah and Sedona in Arizona.

Nancy it does indeed sound like a good idea to have your cousin picked and and delivered. Hope you are not stressing too much over the MO thing but knowing how it goes in ones mind I also know you can't help but be stressed.
Maybe this visit was meant to come now so you can be occupied with other things.
Lisa the photos are magnificent!! Some of the views have been truly heart stopping! They have taken my breath away. You certainly have an eye for capturing what you see.
I had a wonderful trip to the city to catch up with my niece who. I hadn't seen for six years. She is suck a lovely girl and useful to have around as she is a paramedic..........she's also lots of fun! Needless to say after a long day and a long trip home late last night, today I spend most of my time sleeping and recouperating.......something I seem to do a lot now but I'm letting the fatigue stop me from getting on.......lol.
Have a great day all!
Love n hugs. Chrissy
