bearcub, I will be getting my schedule for rads next week.
I am researching all the excellent info in the Lymphedema section, trying to decide if I need a sleeve for rads. My RMT though I may not due to 1 SN removal but Marple suggested I post there, and WOW, the reading and articles are so informative that I haven't posted...yet. Thanks for asking
She...Schipol brings back fond memories
Cher..hoping your treatment gets easier with time..I too found pain in my incisions, plus both drain sites were bothered by each AC chemo. Take care

Half way through #3 A/C cycle. Doing well; still got my 5 k in today between rain storms though it felt a bit slow - after all it is day 6. I really feel like a White Spot burger but not sure it would really be so great once I ate it. Debating.

Marian... tried one too, but had no tastebuds,, did not enjoy it... it is the only burger I like normally
Left Coast Gathering? think I have chemo brain to, dont remember that,, need to search for it.. look forward to meeting everyone

Thanks Marian! Looks like that thread is busy with trying to narrow down dates so far but need to get word out more i guess.

Will be so nice to put a live person to the name etc..

Haven't been doing to hot lately.bed day today, kept getting lost &i knew my way around.!! Keep being weepy..Onc wants me to see phystrist (spelling) says I've been through so much.the fatigue is over the top & the chemo should be helping my RA but instead it's a major flare...not surpassed lol.chemo tomorrow, then shopping at black Friday, then sleep! Have it all worked out in case i need to stop shopping, we'll take a Cher nap break lol.
My blood work...my white count was above norm at beginning & comes back to high each time but that's the RA they figure .Onc said usually chemo almost fixes the RA...but i said guess I'm odd so i laugh0 -
argh.. man this chemo brain!! someone grab my hand & lead me to left coast gathering please? thought I had it bookmarked, cant find it.
thanks

THANKS AKMom
I posted this also in the left coast thread, but thought since some of us get lost.. in here.. I'd post here. She looks like the 8th is a winner????? Olive Garden???
OLIVE GARDEN is in Langley, not Maple Ridge, way easier for you all from the west to get there. should we make reservations? if your in MR, go over bridge.

Look forward to meeting you all

Hi all -- I'm so far behind and missed almost the entire week. I posted in the get-together thread.
Cher -- That's crappy. Hope you're feeling better by now. You have been through the wringer.

Hi pands, greetings from another Kelowna-ite. Glad you found this site, you will find great support and friendship here. The nurse is right about what to expect for your bad days, I had my infusions on Tuesdays, and Saturdays and Sundays were what I referred to as my "cave days". Hopefully any SE's you might have will be minimal.

Morning ladies,
Quick check in before off out to see the 'outlaws' for the day.
Welcome pands from yet another Okanaganite.
London and England are very soggy at the moment - so not much change there.
Hard to believe I have been here a week already. Great spending time with my family.
Hugs and love to all xxxx

Tazzy.. thanks for checking in.. Sounds like you are enjoying yourself.. Hope you brought your raingear.. Or are like me when I go home, I borrow from my SIL Definitely more rain over there than here.. Take care and enjoy

Pands - welcome but sorry your here truly.. these women are such a great source of support. I'm sure you'll feel right at home! Kelowna? theres quite a few of you up there. I'm landing in Kel on 21st if all goes ok after my LAST treatment!! will stay in Pent at Dads, & hopefully can meet up with some or any of you between christmas & new years!!
Gumshoe - thanks doll!! you've been through a rough time as well. I really look forward to one day not having so much pain from the incicision mess (as I call it)
See PS tomorrow, 1st time. As I dont have a surgeon any longer & no other medical dr wants to deal or know how to deal with it all. geesh. ya I'd say i'm looking forward to meeting her
Tazzy - wonderful to hear from you! enjoy your 'outlaws' & even the similar weather. hope your feeling well.
Dutchgirl ya isnt' that the truth! i've done my 3rd round & each day is like clockwork, although usually (thursdays are my days) sunday night my glands are quite swollen, but not this time! mouth sores are slower too, although I'm feeling sicker, at least the dreaded mouth sores have given me a rest.
Off to get my dang yeast infection dealt with AGAIN!! it's never left!!!
0 -
Cher, do you like yogurt? It can really help a yeast infection. The plain stuff, with no sugar or sweeteners.

just would like some general dos and donts about food...love my brie cheese but since its unripened is it off limits for me because of bacteria counts...someone else suggested to stay away from bagged salad /premade salads too...3 day after chemo and still doing ok ...tomorrow is the down day..have to see my regular pg to update her on things since surgery...then take my mom in for her ct scan...right now she is fighting liver/ lung cancer..2 more chemos for her to go...then we'll see whats in store for her after that...thank God the girls at the cancer clinic here are so great...8)

wow Pands you sure have your work cut out for you! will be also thinking of your sweet DM. Hang in there on the chemo.
at first I stopped all sugars. but then my Dad came to stay & brought his sweet tooth, needless to say mine came back too, although I couldn't eat much for 4mths due to loss of bottom dentures & being so sick from infections. I really havent' changed my foods. I'm still confused and there hasnt' been much said about it all that I know. bacteria? brie? I know I'm supposed to eat lots of probiotic yogurt & probiotics, as MO said he love love loves me to take that stuff.
I wish there were a list that has had proper studies shown of what to eat/not eat. I hear cancer loves carbs & sugar. but then I hear that's not quite proven. so am still confused. & with chemo brain, I confuse even easier lol
going to PS today, nervous as all get out! dont have anyone who is the main Dr to look after my chest/scar. the hardness has now grown more into my underarms & up to my collar bones. very painful & uncomfortable, all the massaging etc I do doesn't seem to do anything, so maybe she can help there, we all including me do not want Cher to have another surgery, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it maybe needed. there's just way way too much scar tissue or whatever it is. these bumps/hardness keeps growing. it's like having a vice on the front of me. hmm but am also leaning to what you other gals said that you have much similar, and pain, sharp stabbing etc..I'd really like to NOT have these big bumps/lumps on my upper chest, so maybe a professional masseuse ... ta ta for now. xoxox
