STFU (Shut the F*** UP)

Report of clincal trial so far-
Whew! I am starting to feel the exhaustion I heard tell of. I can barely function. I am not sure if by Thursday I will be working in between or driving the 45 -50 mins by myself. I feel kind of spaced out (is that what you all felt like?) and dragging big time... not myself as I am usually fairly energetic. This morning I barely made 1/2 mile on my treadmill and I stopped. Normally I pump out 2.5 to 3 miles every day.
Also, the sting is starting. But, as a frame of reference, I am on treatment #13 in two days if I was having the regular 33 trmt protocol..13 is approximately 40% of 33 in case you are wondering how I came to that. But, tomorrow morning, I am HALF WAY THERE!! 50% done with trmt #5/10! A tiny tiny bit of pink near the nipple but no other color/skin changes that I can see. I don't suspect I will see that until after I am done as that has been what has happened for others in this trial. Only ONE person had really severe peeling the RO told me. The rest was mild to moderate.
I don't have much of an appetite today. I felt nausea again this morning and I made sure to eat some protein (Greek yogurt) before rads. I brought soup for lunch but couldn't eat it so I left it in the fridge at work and might have it tomorrow. That is about it so far. Just really really tired. Could also be other things though, who knows?
Mary - hugs and prayers
Veggy - ditto above
Princess Kantalope - same for you
All of you - huge hugs and know that I hope whatever is ailing any/all of you is something that can be made better or at least, allow you to be pain free whatever drug works for you. I can only take percocet. Vicodin, tramadol et al, not so hot for me.
Ok, really tired and DH built a nice fire so gonna veg on the couch and watch it. Being bad tonight. Getting pizza even though I should be having high protein. I want something that might stimulate my appetite plus I don't have to cook it..LOL

I'm feeling pretty good today. I had to make something out of leftover chicken and I did! Yeah me! It's in the oven. My oldest son is on a rampage today. We're all ready to hang him up by his toenails,make him wear the white suit that makes you hug yourself and gag him. He might be calming down by now but I'm not. I need some booze.
Hugs!0 -
I used to be a bartender. Taking orders...what will you have Veggy? I am buying (and making them too!)

I'll sit between to Captain Morgan and Jose Cuervo. Jack Daniels can give me a massage. Jim Beam will be my server. I think I'll have Long Island Iced Tea...extra strong.

I like the way you think. LI Iced tea it is...not a drink for an amateur..lol

Hugs to all, checking in quickly. Today was 4/15 on rads, upped meds slowly may be making a difference not sure yet. Checking again tomorrow, no great falls today so I'll take that. No pain either to speak of which is always good.
((((Hugs))))

Oh so, well, I used to work at COORS!!! Ha! Can't stand beer.... Okay, wait, I'll fix me a White Russian.... WITH whole milk.... damnit! If YOU guys can drink, so can I! NOW are you all jealous?
Oh so YEAH! I was ALSO a bartender, but we only served Coors beers and Coke.... Ha!
Veggy, chicken? You innovative little rascal you! I cooked up some carrots with butter, and made Lacee face some cooked rice with chopped carrots in it, and a little chicken bouillon.
We took her to the Vets today.... Okay, now get this! SHE... (dog-face) has ALLERGIES! Of COURSE she does.... just like her MOM! Something about "figure out what it is.... blah, blah....like it could be this....blah, blah, or maybe this, and we could test her thyroid....bla, blah, which is $120 ....... but here is some ear drops for the itching, and give her Benadryl, which ought to knock her on her furry little butt, and get her some Vit. E.... which I looked up, and they give Fish Oil to dogs, which I have. So I mixed the rice and carrots in with her liver and chicken and kibbles! I know MEN who don't eat that good!
I will fix her.... I know SO well how fun allergies are.... but my dog? Geez, Kantalope, you and Lacee.... Two of a kind.... except Lacee doesn't raise as much hell as someone ELSE I know! You can come here, and I'll fix YOU some rice and carrots! And put drops down YOUR ears.... and brush your hair, and tell you I love you..... Ha, ha!
So April! WTH??? Are you getting radiation? Don't go gettin' sick! Nothing worse! Can you take a friend? Go get Veggie.... she needs a break from that Son of hers.... She wants to hog-tie him and string him up by his boots, I think! Might be illegal.... but you never know. Just take care of yourself.... I was in a clinical trial once.... I had to quit my Asthma meds to do it, and I got sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sick with Asthma. I was probably in the group that was getting "nothing".... a "nothing pill".... So therefore, I got in trouble. Took 2 weeks to get over an asthma attack! So pay attention to any SE's that don't seem right.... unless they bring snacks and drinks. That makes it easier to put up with any kind of trauma.
Sassy.... so guess what? I KNOW I will never get over Eczema.... not never, "ever."..... I can just relieve it... which means ignore it as best you can and keep creaming, and STFU! However.... I CAN make it feel better with the trunk of creams I now use, AND my little gloves that I got at the Dollar store! I am elated! So when my fingers blister, just STFU, and get busy.... It comes and goes.... damn stuff! So that's my complaint for today.... which is nothing compared to what you, my girls are going through! Love you all....xoxoxoxoxo

Camy....how was your lunch date????
Granny....glad to see you are posting again....❤
April.....don't know if this helps you or not but I quite frequently get nausea from Letrozole and cannot eat at those times, plus I was getting too thin so an ex nurse friend of mine put me on to Gravol suppositories....a half of one does the trick most of the time.
Can't take it orally because I just bring them up....After about 30 minutes....nausea gone
and I can EAT.....💃
Everyone whom I've missed ....big hugs from me...(((((())))))0 -

there and then on to Iowa where her part will end. This will happen the second week in
July.....check the newspaper headlines at that time .....Scottie's coming to the good old
USA to kick up her heels and raise some hell....💃 The Canucks are a comin....😱0 -

My chemo today was blessedly uneventful and the benedryl gave me a lovely nap.
After talking with my MO about the radical change in the number and frequency of my headaches (with and without tramadol), she ordered an MRI of my head/brain. I will have that done tomorrow morning. My brain was not scanned at MDA for the staging process when they scanned chest and abdomen. She is concerned about stroke risk and I'm concerned about mets. Boo!
Maybe they will find the big honkin' hole left from chemo instead of something worse. At least I'm used to the big hole!
I'll be back tomorrow to try to catch up!0 -
Phyllis I hope the MRI is AOK--that's one thing for sure is they take a test for everything which is good so they stay on top of everything.

Phyllis.....good luck tomorrow. Will be thinking about you.
