    Feeling lonely and feeling tested seem to be getting a lot of the same kind of emotional challenges...........trying to grow through them but have to admit that every single day I feel so profoundly sad about my body, and how my life is now, its not depression but its a huge deep sadness................alone and alone........

    You gals seem to be doing good .................I looked at colouring books, not for me would drive me nuts far too fussy.......!

    Lily- bc can be so isolating with all the changes to our bodies and our relationships. Are there any communities in your area you can find to do things you enjoy to make some new friends? Even other who have dogs and would like a walking companion?

    Hugs sister, sorry you are feeling such loneliness and sadness today.

    Hi Teka- what is shaking? That piglet is adorable! I have always wanted a pot belly pig for a pet!

    Teka- that spot is gorgeous. Where was it taken in Maine?

    Yes, I know they can be large! I neither have the right house or yard for such a beast, but do hear they make great pets!

    Teka- BB popped in here awhile back, I remember her from a few months back. Hermits has been quiet this summer (everybody maybe enjoying life?) She is a relative newbee vs. us old time folks (almost three years for me come this fall.....)

    Teka, that is so cool! I lived at the foot of that "mountain" and climbed it a few times, in the early 70's (first marriage). That little island was right out our back door, our house was on the coast just north of the harbor. Wow. Memories.

    It has been a long time since I posted in this thread or on BCO for that matter. Nice to see some old the old faces from when the thread was started in 2011 and some new. Took a break to try and refocus my life and move on from BC. Mostly worked. Have had 2 surgeries to deal with SEs from the Tamoxifen and have now been diagnosed with LE - 3 1/2 years later! kind of ticking me off and sort of depressing to realize that the answer to "when does this end" is never.

    Bgirl- nice to see you here! I am sorry about the surgeries and now the LE. I worry about that too, I know it can show up years later. Do you have a good LE therapist lined up to help?

    I don't think it ever ends, we just find ways to cope for the longer term.

    Mommy- good job on continuing on with your education. What are you studying for? Like Teka, when I went to college and then grad school awhile back. In the late 1970's to mid 1980s, everything was on campus, no evening classes, etc. I love the classroom experience, but also find you have more options with schools and programs with on line. I completed a certificate program by doing part on line and part on campus four years ago.

    Wishing you the best.

    Leaning toward either History or English major. Thinking about applying to SNHU online, had planned on it before but at the time I had a lot on my plate and hubby didn't think I would have been able to concentrate, but he thinks that I should start looking into it again and maybe start no later than this Winter. I have taken several classes online and I love it, the instructors make it so easy to follow the course schedule and get things done on time.

    Mommy-you are past a lot of things now to be able to focus on a degree. You go for it, it sounds like you have a great school picked out to do this too!

    Teka- how do you remember such amazing facts about people? Where is Dwill anyways?


  • m0mmyof3
    m0mmyof3 Member Posts: 9,849

    Yep, hopefully things will go smoothly for me so I can finish my education goal

  • jazzygirl
    jazzygirl Member Posts: 11,987

    Teka- you are a good soul. I think schools have started just about everywhere, except maybe furthest to the east. I know we always started after Labor Day.

    I hope Dwill has a good last year and a nice retirement party next spring!

    Just saying hi..........think of you all, very worried aromasin has affected my hips badly but been waiting for density scan since November 2014.........need to decide about going back on it in 3 weeks time after proving to the ONCO that 90% of my symptoms were caused by Aromasin.........

    Just sitting here prepping for the day ahead which includes laundry and finishing that blasted essay for my Great Books class!

  • jazzygirl
    jazzygirl Member Posts: 11,987

    Lily- thanks for saying hi and sorry to hear the AIs are creating issues for you. They are a difficult drug (I take anastrazole) and have had a decrease in bone density, but started Prolia shots this year to help manage bone loss. I hate taking drugs to mitigate the effects of other drugs. The only big winners here is the pharma industry. I hope you can get your bone density test to find out what is going on. That is a long time to wait for the test, but know you are in a different healthcare system.

    Mommy- good luck with that essay. I know you can do it!
