Hi @livinglifenow Pam, we woke up to 5 inches of snow here. It’s beautiful to look at but terrible to be out in lol I got the sidewalks and steps cleaned off and my car cleared so that I’ll be ready for work tomorrow! Stay warm. They said here it’s supposed to be 20 to 30 mph wind gusts. Take care and enjoy

@ssales13 Stacey, snow is beautiful but also a challenge. Glad you are ready for work tomorrow. We had wind this morning but it is all calm now. Sunny, too! I’ve got to enjoy it while I can.
Hugs, Pam 💗1 -
Graduated to Stage IV-2025
Hormone positive-HER2 negative
Once again-finding breast cancer, because of 2nd recent lung cancer surgery/diagnostics-Station 4R-1 node removed-capsule was broken
Possible malignancy-IMC-1 node R
from Stage 1B- 2022
Right breast US: There is a 12 mm x 9 mm x 16 mm hypoechoic mass in the 2:00 position of the right breast 12 cm from the nipple which appears to correlate with the finding on PET scan.Ultrasound of the right axilla demonstrates no morphologically abnormal lymph nodes. Upper inner quadrant-deep-along muscle.
This was removed. Declined radiation. 2 attempts hormone therapy failed. Beyond negative side effects.
PET scan was for lung cancer.
Twice it was testing for lung cancer that resulted in discovery of breast cancer
Cat scans never showed the mass in my upper inner quadrant.
Mammos every year for almost 30 years.
Recovering from recent rt lung surgery(severe to mild spine/ back pain)-paused aromasin-maybe I'll resume-radiation is most likely not feasible.
Genetic testing results upcoming
Consult: radiation upcoming
2 year DEXA upcoming
Borderline for osteoporosis
This is not a good time.

@moongazer Im so sorry you’re going through all of that.It sounds like an awful lot. Dealing with a stage 4 diagnosis is bad enough but throw another type of cancer/ or illness into the mix I’m sure is beyond rough. This is a really great group of women to talk to. I hope and pray that you get started on a good treatment plan and things calm down a little bit for you. Take care

@moongazer So sorry to hear about all your troubles. This road is not without bumps and lots of potholes, unfortunately.
Wishing you some answers and lessened pain.

@moongazer Sending big hugs of comfort and wishes for health and strength as you ride these terrible waves.
Hi all along with . @livinglifenow and @ssales13 My new dog Teddi’s first snow (she’s a rescue from TX)! She has brought so much love, cuddles and activity since she came into our lives late Sept. - so thankful for her. Been feeling rather well and hoping that is a good omen before my next scans in early Jan. Heading to Bahamas for a family vacation next week - DD and her husband and DS and his GF are coming with us. First Bahamas visit and first time for all kids - So excited!!
Sending big holiday cheer (Chanukah and Christmas) to all and big wishes that we all have only good health news in 2026♥️ juliana xox
