Milky- welcome back! I love the photos! It sounds like you received a lot of wonderful support from your family during your visit. So good to hear. Do you go back to school again soon?
I don't take Effexor but maybe some others here do and can help?
Enerva- the message was on my home phone and they called in the afternoon when I was at a massage, so by the time I got home and picked up the message, it was too late to call. I will call them tomorrow morning first thing and see what the call was about (hopefully about the Prolia shot...)
I was going to go snow shoeing today, but a friend who lives over in the mountains said the top of the mountain here where we were planning to go has no snow so I have a call into my friend to do this another time. Will do some errands and the gym instead, which is okay with me too.

Hi ladies- well the news was good from the MO's office (when do we ever say that???) The call was in fact the follow up call on the Prolia shot they were looking into around my bone health issues on the AIs. Insurance is in fact going to pay for the bi-annual shots that help to increase bone mass which as many of you know, can be compromised on the AIs. So I am going in next Monday for my first shot, will do another this summer and hopefully will see a better bone density test next December when I get it done again.
I did talk to one other woman here who has been doing the shots and she said she saw her bone density increase by 6% the first year. I am loosing about 5% a year based on the results to date, so not loosing and perhaps building is something this will help with. The woman here on BCO says she has no major SEs on it either. The only SE they said is known is something to do with the jaw and you have to be careful if you have dental surgery. Fortunately, my teeth are good, it is the rest of me that has been falling apart......
Just wanted you to know and now we will wait to hear about Enerva's ultrasound results. Saying a prayer for you all is well.

oh great Ness jazz, well my appointment is Wednesday but today I picked up the cds. I ll look at it tonight but honestly I won't know what to look for. I think we maybe ok cuz I did not get any call from my dc office yet.usually bad news travels fast.another point is that the paps she did a week ago the results won't be back this week so only the ultrasound results then if no bad knews then I ll hope for no bad news from the other test. I am no making much sense I had a bad night again woke up at 3 am again never fall back sleep so now I am on the train and I must get home shower dry my afroo then bed lol
Hoping to sleep better tonight it seems as if one bad night the one good

Enerva- so what are the CDs, do they actually give you the films from the ultrasound? It sounds like they are checking out all the possibilities to be sure they know what is going on. Remember there are a lot of benign things that go on down there, I have had a few myself. But once you have the "big C", your mind always goes there.
Sorry you are waking up a lot. Is is from pain or just in general? Work stress and waiting for the results probably not helping anything? I hope you can relax after your shower and get to bed early.
Rest well my friend.

jazz yes, I never knew this before I had bc but here in Canada and I bet it s the same in USA you can call the lab when you get the ultrasound or the hospital and ask for your cd, so they burn a cd with your images and you are allowed to keep it. I have all mine now lol I will have a look at it before bed time lol like you say I betting will see a lot of things which I ll no know what they mean. Anyway ask at your lab or hospital to transfer you to the images department and say you want to request the images from what ever date you had it done. Here our hospital charges $10 per cd but the private lab gives it for free.

ladies I just got some news that made cry so much. I don't know if I told you I used to have a little bird parrot. He name was lucky. When my mom got sick and I was duing chemo I decided to find a new home for him. I was staying with mom in the hospital and he was spending hours home alone. I drove far to a town called sarnia and gave him to a lady whom had two of his own kind. I cry so much when I drove away. Two days later my mom past away. I ask the family if they could give him back to me but they refused they got attached to him, he was well trained. Anyway I have been sending an email every month to check on him.Las xtmas I sent him gift, toys he love. And jus now i got this email saying he past away.
Hi Claritza. It is with great sadness that I have to tell you that Lucky passed away a couple days ago. We are beyond devestated as we loved him so very much. It's been a difficult few days and I was having a hard time sending you an email as I know how much you loved him as well. We are at loss as to what happened as he was out all evening with us and was his normal self. When I went to let him out the next morning I found he had passed. I want to thank you for all the joy that he gave us. Both Lucky and you will forever be in our hearts. I wish you all the very best ! Lots of love Lisa
I can not being to tell u how this news made me feel. This is what I replay.
Omg you have no idea how this news hurts me.
He has been in my mind this past week I just prepared a parcel to send him. I will never forgive myself for parting from him.Take care
Ladies I cry and cry I love that little bird so much.
I am beyond sad.
Anyway here are a few images, I see some crap which do not look good like a small endometriosis no sure, here are a few
Ovaries also are different sizes, I have no idea.
Anyway I am sad I ll go to bed Ineed to take a pill or I won't sleepe

Enerva- I am so sorry about Lucky. You had talked about him once in the past and knew you really loved him so much. How sad about his passing. I am sorry my friend.
Not an ultrasound tech but I don't see anything big there at least. Endometriosis is usually on the outside of the uterus and can also wrap itself around your ovaries. When I had my lapro surgery & D and C in 2007, they took photos inside and out and I had about 6 fibroid of various sizes inside, as well as patches of endometriosis on the outside and in one of my tubes. Any of this stuff can cause extra bleeding and also pain. I won't be surprised to hear if you have one or both of these. I hope the report comes soon.

E - sorry about your bird.
Re the sonogram....don't read too much into it. If you don't hear from your doc, that means it's good news. ((((hugs)))

oh thanks guys, I have no clue but yes I started getting mild pain last month and an extra period. So ok I ll get the report. Here a picture of luck he was always on me.
I ll feel better with time, but will never forgive myself for giving him away, these birds can live for 30 years, I can't help to wonder what happened to him, he use to sleep in his cage in my bedroom so if anything I could here him.I hate myself for making that decision. Sorry guys I must sound so stupid
Good night

Enerva- I think you gave him away because with everything going on, it was more than you could do at the time. I am sure he had a good life with the folks you gave him too. It was just his time to go to the other side.
And no you don't sound stupid, we have all had pet losses that leave us so sad. I had a parakeet when I was a kid that our whole family loved. His name was Tweety and he just stole everyone's heart in our family. He used to catch colds and one time he did not seem to recover and think he had pneumonia. Then he was gone. My father and I gave Tweety a special burial service. My father loved him too, I thought he was going to cry when we buried him. To this day, he was one of my favorite pets ever. Birds create special bonds with us.
June has a good point here too- no news is good news for us most of the time.
And hi June, I hope you are doing okay? Did you get caught up in that bad ice storm in the city?

Milky- I agree with that. Your beliefs become your biology and all that jazz.
Stay positive my people!

jazzy - hi...thanks for asking. it wasn't so bad....but this winter has been very cold. i just felt time flew by so fast. last year i took the winter off and stayed home and this year things are moving so fast before my eyes. work has been going well which really made me feel so very good. got a bonus, not a lot but i was very touched....
my new year resolution is to treat myself nicely. so planning a trip to Athens....a good friend of mine lives there. she's happily married with two boys. i am quite excited. i want to be able to travel a lot more. since i am slowly paying off my cc. i wasn't so wise with spending money i didn't have. lesson learned.
E - how are you??
milky - thanks for the quote....i really believe it. i really think my BC had everything to do with my former fat-mean-psycho boss. i quit in 2011 and god i still hate him
love your photos....the arch is beautiful.
BB - glad you are doing better

June- glad to hear you are doing well and got a bonus. When I worked FT and for companies that did such things, I never expected them but was always pleasantly surprised when they did happen. Always feels good to be appreciated, but when it comes in the form of money, that much better!
And how cool you are going to Athens! You will LOVE it there. I was there 20 plus years ago and found it very easy country to travel in, people are so nice there. Try to get out to at least one of the Greek Islands if you can (maybe you and your friend can do a ferry). Mikanos, Santorini, and all the others are so beautiful. You won't want to come back. When are you going?
I am trying to make travel more of a priority now too, to get to some of those things on my bucket list. I have been asked to do some international trips this year with one friend and also my sister. Going to wait until next year tough, I spent a lot last year and some this month to finish my bigger home improvement work. I have couple trips I am thinking about.
BB- how are you doing this week? Any news from your tests or are you still going through them?
Life- how are you doing too. Have you been to court yet?
Piper- are you out there too, how are the bambinos?

hi, well I got up today with a very sad spirit. Still blame myself for every thing that has happened.
Tmw I ll see my doctor and I think it may be good news cuz bad news travels fast and if she did not call me it's maybe good news.
At this point I don't care, I worked today and I hated my day. It's just I am now like a glass full of water and feels like it's just full no room for more water. No sure if I make sense. I am just tired, wish I had time machine to go back to when I was a child and everything was all about games and school. Hope this year ends soon, I can see how it's starting already. Don't want to see what's coming.
I ll have an open house on Saturday hopping I meet new clients. I really need to get this new job going.
Good night ladies. Found a nice picture of an owl
Here it is

Enerva dear girl- why are you blaming yourself for everything? There is so much in the world we have no control over. We do the best we can with what we have been given.
You have been through a lot physically with the bc and recon, with your family, those dumb guys you dealt with. You have not been sleeping well and that can really pull you down emotionally.
I hope tomorrow is a better day.
