lily, sorry about what is happening at home. Sending you positive thoughts!
Today the big D has appeared...i am on it with diet and immodium though, will not let it go. Bippy has a pap today, have had mild dysplasia for a few years on and off, had a leap procedure, we just watch it close. Do you think my chemo will kill off what's happening there? I think the dysplasia came to be because I had cancer unbeknownst in my breast, and my immune system could not keep up.
Saw a pal yesterday, she brought flowers and good vibes. Made it to goodwill and got a few puzzles to keep my brain working. I try to get out at least once a day, because even a hermit gets cabin fever!

Well today seems to be a good day for me to really be a hermit because rain is on the way. Will be a good day to curl up with a favorite book and just zen after housework.

Good Morning everyone--my computer is still in menopause and really b*tchy anyway it's good to see u all.
Welcome if I missed anyone---
Mags and Bippy u both sound pretty good and that's always good. And Mags that's so sweet praying with u'r DH. Bippy I'm glad u got u'r coffee back, it helps to feel better.
Jazzy II always wish u luck on a day to day basis so you work evenly and enjoy u'r life.
Lily I'm so sorry about u'r predicament at home on top of all else. All I can do is send u hugs and prayers.
Teka Yummy, I like that kind of warm comfort food and chocolate cake too.
Ducky summer is officially over--did u close up u'r home?
It looks like rain today, but I don't know for sure---I was supposed to see my Onc this week but got my days all screwed up so we made it for next week. Oy Vey This happens all the time, I don't know why, it's my fault, there must be a hidden button inside saying don't go.

Gah, I could use another cup of coffee, but if I do make one I will be so wired. What to do?

Cam....yes we closed it Labor Day.........House, pool, the whole works...........was a short summer and was not down much at all.....I wonder sometimes why I bother keeping it............
Horrible day today.....rain, wind, chilly, like most of the east coast.........I hope the clown who killed our State Trooper is soaked, and freezing his ass off...........
Everyone have a good day.......if you have sun....its a good day.......

Cami- I am creating a new paradigm for myself and the personal training is helping me to put myself first for perhaps the first time in my life. Making sure I am taking care of my wellness first, and then will fit the work in. A new way of working and being.
Bippy- when our immune system gets compromised, other things show up too. I am pretty convinced that is what happened with my ruptured appendix that happened as the same time as the diagnosis. Your appendix is part of your immune system, which I did not know until that happened. Hopefully the chemo will knock anything you have got.
Mommyof2- how about half decaf and have regular in your next pot?
Lily- I am sorry your husband is not more supportive of your needs. Hugs sister.
Off to a business meeting. Hope you guys have a good day.

Me too. My local grocery store had a sale last week on their brand of the k-cups and we stocked up to get us into October and hopefully closer to November!

I just got a box of 80 Green Mountain Breakfast Blend from BJ's......delivered right to the door no shipping either......they have the best prices.........the and Bed, Bath, and Beyond......
The local Shoprite runs a great sale every couple weeks..........but still no one beats BJ's......you just can't get all the choices........My daughter belongs to a coffee club, and they have every brand know to man, and very reasonable too..........

Jazzy is going back to work. Target date is 10/6/14. PT (30 hours a week) through mid December. What I wanted!
Oh the joys of living in the southwest. I went out to the car to get my notebook to write up a summary for the contracting arrangement from the meeting today and as I came to the front door (which I left open just for 30 seconds) a gecko slithered up the front porch and into the entry way. Then on to a sandal. I tried to coax him out but he disappeared and is now somewhere in the house. I guess I have a pet gecko now......

That is great Jazzy!

Teka- sounds like good progress with the painting. Sounds like you may be cooking dinner too for Thanksgiving?
And I don't know how to tell you this, but your boyfriend GC is about to get married.....

Jazzy has a pet

Teka- going to be a gorgeous wedding with two very pretty people! The babies will be gorgeous too! I somehow think GC is going to enjoy being married and having a family.

Teka- my guess is they will have them if she wants them. She is in her 30s and still pop some out. If she wants them, he will go along with it the way it is for most couples it seems. But then again, maybe not either. They might be good just being a power couple!
Onco- not sure I talked about the class a lot. It is a six week strategic planning course at the local university for my work. Unrelated to my personal training program. One thing is for my body and the other is for my brain.
How are you doing Onco?

Hi everyone---just hanging around at 2am, damn fell asleep to early.
Congratulations Jazzy, I'm so glad u got what u wanted for work--U'll be happy working. And now u have a pet, I'd be freakin' out for sure.
Onco, my memory has not gotten any better, in fact it's getting worse with somethings and I hate that, but it is what it is.
They've announced so many new shows for TV and for some reason I'm missing all of them, they don't seem to be on yet.

Good morning hermits- on the way to see the gyn this morning for yearly check up. Lucky me! Easier of the visits I do these days though.
Lily- wow that is too bad. A job opp and then it disappears. Do you know what happened to the job?
Cami- hope you got some rest. We had t-storms here last night and I slept like a log.
Gotta run. Will check in later.

Good morning, Hermies. It's day 4 for me, of chemo round 5. Yesterday was the pits, I could barely drag myself around, and had to be presentable for my appointment with the RO. Once we got there, we waited for her for over an hour. But she was very nice, and thorough. I learned a few things, like there's a lymph node right behind my sternum that they think may be cancerous but they could not get to it during BMX because of its location, and that's where they're going to bed focused.they'll also go up into the neck. And I'm restaged, now IIIC not IIIA like I thought. She said she thinks I may be a good candidate for a proton therapy trial, they are just starting to do proton therapy on BC here though Harvard has been doing it successfully. Since my tumor was on the left side, it would be easier on my heart. She is going to present my case to the board but she thinks there's a good chance of acceptance. So I'll probably start rads first week of November or so.
Just resting today. Still queasy.

wow Mags thats a bit of a bummer, but proton therapy is a big positive, how are you feeling?
Job was not enough subscribed, the powers that be changed the days to work and clients didn't like it

Good morning ladies. All is well with the girlie dept, outside of the fact the anti-hormones take their toll on things.
Mags- that is not good news from your visit to the RO, but I figured they must be going after a lymph node somewhere with the rads since you had the BMX. And I am sorry about the re-staging too.
Proton therapy sounds like something that may help you. I am all into the cutting edge stuff myself. I don't know much about this type of therapy, but going to read up about it and hope you get accepted in the program.
You are having a rough week with the SE from the latest chemo and this news. Take it easy today and sending healing thoughts your way.
Teka- hopefully your chemo knocked out anything in your blood or lymph system. Your MO did not do a good job with you on that one.
Lili- I hope some new work comes to fruition for you soon. Getting back to work after treatment really helped me to move forward (never mind have an income which I need as a single person....) I never realized how much working stabilized my life until I don't have it.
Got some contract work to do today. TTYL!

Thought I was going to have a day of relaxing, ha! Had to make two appointments and then call my primary doc for a referral for one of the appointments. So here I sit waiting for the dummy's office to call back!

Got a good coffee buzz going while I sit here. If I have any more coffee, I am going to be bouncing off the walls
