Marybe, sorry you had such an unproductive Dr. visit. I hate that kind of stuff. And I know how you feel about ruining your week. My time is so precious right now, and I'm sure your's is also. I think sometimes doctors forget how they come across and just make random remarks that just produce more anxiety. My husband's urologist just said "You have cancer" and walked out of the room! No explanation or anything else. He wins the prize for the worst bedside manner ever. Love to you and you're in my thoughts on this journey.

Rosieo, I still have not taken the Arimidex. I got the prescription filled and took it for a couple of weeks, then stopped. I just hate to take so much medicine. Plus, the SEs that were listed were not encouraging. I am finishing up with Rads and after that I will go to my Dr. I am going to talk to him about it again. I may end up taking it. Still not sure.

dragonfly.. i think your DH's dr wins the huge AHole award!!! it wasn;t much better with my bs; but wow!!!
Marybe.. you know your on the daily prayer list.. bc does reverse our world, indeed.. we want disability so we can do... but; you deserve to travel; and go as long as you can.. forget the bc, mets., etc.. none of us getting any younger!!!

Oh Marybe!!! I wish I could be there to comfort you for what it's worth. You must be freaking out inside. That's a huge jump! Now, let me ask a dumb question. Some ladies are told that the markers go up as the DEAD cancer cells flood their system. Is that true, or is it bullshit!

Oh, Marybe, thinking about you. I do not know how on earth you cope with what you are being dealt. I hope someone looks and listens now....what a numbers jump. Can you request an extra appointment to try and see what to do now ? Are you really going to try and stop working now...or does work take your mind off things ? I am slowly shedding off work that I know I cannot do properly nowadays....my job is for much younger people than me !
I've had a good day at market today. I was pleased with myself, as I got the highest price for the day £1350...$2180...I shall get my name in the local paper now!! I hate that they do this. I am a private person..but no-one listens !!!!!! I was quite upset to see my friend go, had to come away, couldn't watch someone else have her. Then I came home and sold a puppy,( which was promptly named Harper, after Victoria Beckhams new baby....doesn't take long for people to make fools of themselves ) so feel like I have won the lottery today !!! Oh, and another stroke of luck. My electric bill turned up today, and instead of the £400....$644, I was expecting I got £30 credit.....$48. HOW on earth this has happened I do not know, but I am sure as h*ll not querying it !! My electric always runs pretty high, it can be twice/ three times as much in winter....I haven't really tried to cut down anywhere, I always feel I have to have light, hot water, and the odd heater... oh..... and about 30 heat lamps in my kennels. I do charge people a small amount in winter, for their dogs heat, but half of the heat lamps are over my own dogs and puppies !! Really could do with a big windmill outside my house, together with a well, as my water bills are worse than the electricity bills, they can run at around $2,000 4 times a year..but then there are lots of sheep and cattle drinking, beside my manic washing machines.
I'm off to bed now, totally wiped out by an early start. I was up at 6.30, and I don't normally get out of bed until 9am. My walking is about done for the day, my legs feel as if they don't belong to me, and my spine is screaming for a long, hot shower, and a nice comfortable bed.

{{{{Marybe}}}}--hope you'll be able to get extended appt to talk about what's happening here and see if the chemo should possibly be changed to something more effective. I wish you luck and speed with your SSDI app. Logically, it certainly should go smoothly, but then I also know that logic and government are antonyms. My experience in DSS work showed me that many applying for disability are denied with the initial application and the key is in the appeal. Know that you're always in my prayers, every day.
Welcome, Rosieo. I'm sure you'll like it here and we look forward to getting to know you. I take arimidex (generic), and so far, so good. I'm 61 now and the main se I have is stiffness when getting up after driving or sitting a while.
3jays got it right about your DH's dr's award, Lynda. What a jerk!
3jays, you'll make it to Shell Knob! You're also in my prayers every day. Is it the 19th when you go back?
Isabella, glad you had a productive day and got a good price for your special cow. Now I don't think Harper's such a bad name, but I wouldn't name a dog after a celeb's baby! I don't like our dog's name (Bud) but he was a rescue dog and already named when we got him, so Bud he remains.
We got a little relief from the heat yesterday evening with a thunderstorm, heavy wind and rain, and it came up suddenly. Today has been tolerable.
Hello to everybody, and hope all are doing well today.

Barbe - the numbers do not go up because of dead cancer cells. That is B^!!SH!&.
Marybe - Wow what a jump in numbers. Sending lots of {{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}} and continuing with the prayers. Your dr is an idiot and that is putting it mildly. I would be all over him like white on rice until I got the information I needed. ----- For the purpose of the SSDI your disability began on the day of your Stage IV diagnosis. That may have been years ago, but that is the date you should use. They will want to know the history of treatment since then and what the treatment is now. The may ask for a lot of paper work to show all of this. Just take it one step at a time and everything should go fine. I had no problem getting approved the first time. It took about a month for me to start getting my checks once the approval was made. Go ahead and retire once you get the approval and start doing all the things you want to do. If you need a traveling buddy, just call and maybe we can work something out. Take care my dear friend.

Amyjo, thanks for being honest about the dead cancer cell theory. I honestly didn't know. I guess I was kind of hoping it was true for Marybe's sake....sigh.
Thinking of you today Marybe as your mind sorts all the options and tries to come to a answer. It probably won't be a single answer, there will probably be plans B and C as well. Did you talk to the dentist last night after work about working part time?

Hi Brenda, not sure if I've seen you here before and in case I haven't, a big warm welcome to you. Pull up a pew, put your feet up and relax. Join in anytime the need takes you.
Awe Marybe, (((((((hugs)))))) and prayers for you. These numbers are not what we want to hear!!! I sure hope your doc and you can work on another plan to get them heading in the other direction.
3jays, take it easy!!! pulling out cupboards and cleaning rugs is not the thing to be doing right now! Keep your strength for getting well.
The travel agent emailed me the first draft of the itinerary for my trip and it gave me goos bumps to read it. She sure did take note of what I said and has got it almost perfect. There are a couple of little things that could be a problem but I'm sure we can sort those out. Oh my!!! It's getting so close!!! I wakr each morning and realise it's one day sooner.....lol.....I'm like a five year old waiting for christmas!!!!
Love n hugs to all. Chrissy

Thanks, Marybe you are a dear friend. Hope you are having a good weekend. We are headed to a party with some friends from church.
